Ric Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Got to say, I'm not sure why people are biting back at Morton fans giving us grief, after the performance and result they aren't wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 7 hours ago, Torfason said: Totally agree, though I also agree that having it so early in the season devalues it. It's only about a fortnight earlier than it used to start when it was groups from 1949/50 to 1976/77 Prior to 1950 it started a wee bit later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted July 16, 2023 Author Share Posted July 16, 2023 Concerned yesterday at just how far off the pace Gallagher has looked. That's two weeks in a row now he has been miles off it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comfortable 2-0 Saints home win. Would disagree with this. They’re not the easiest to play against and breakdown. I thought last season they should’ve finished higher in the league than they did with their standard of play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby_F Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 4 hours ago, Molotov said: As an aside what I noticed on the thread when I first looked at it this morning was a period (from 1977-1986) in St Mirren’s history when we arguably had the best squads of players but they never won any major domestic honour. One of life’s greatest mysteries. And during that period The Rangers had one of their weakest squads, yet still won plenty of cups. Not really a mystery though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad that we are now actually worried about a part time team at home Hopefully still qualify but even if we do, unlikely now to be seeded - so potentially a much harder route to the last 16. With this group, especially after what happened last year, the team should have come out all guns blazing yesterday. For some reason they did exactly the opposite. Leaving formations aside the team just didn’t look that bothered till the last 20 minutes. Assuming something would happen rather than making sure it did. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always dread Dons games away to St Mirren. St Mirren are invariably very good at home & Aberdeen for whatever reason are invariably cack at St Mirren. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this. A couple of years back we got to two semi finals and just missed out on top 6. Is getting papped out the league cup by part timers and finishing 6th a better season? I suppose what I'm getting at is that a club like St Mirren needs to aim to do well in every competition we play in. Success doesn't come around all that often. Doesn't look like we take this competition seriously based on the last couple of seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven’t performed well in any game yet so can take nothing for granted on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AW saint Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Right now I wouldn't expect us to beat anyone. However this week we should have 2 new strikers to come in. Get Conor higher up the park and out of LWB and we should be more potent up front. Unless Stav and the mystery striker are as bad as Mandron 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really a mystery though. They hadn’t been born back then. But I know the two semi finals where refereeing bias went the way of the blue bigots. Lex Richardson was cruelly on the end of two horrific decisions and having spoken to him and seen photographic and video footage I know why he feels so aggrieved. Great player was Lex. I was absolutely gutted when he was transferred away from Paisley. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingjoey Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 2 hours ago, willywastecoat said: It's too easy to look at a lower league team and say we should be beating them,did you watch the game David? Sean Dillon,Michael Gardyne and Rory McAllister right down the spine of the gable endies made sure the saints never got it easy. Gallagher and Dunne missing the midfield out with 40,50 yard passes to McMenamin out to the wing was a strange tactic especially when you have a big lump of wid up top to play off. If only I'd known you were going to the game yesterday, wee willie, I'd have foregone our trip abroad and we could have met up in the Legion for a pre-match drink. Let me know next time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
