Molotov Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I’ve never understood why supporters would boo or abuse their own players at games. Even when they boo opposition players it often has a counter productive effect - eg more often we get the Hartley improvement rather than the Mendes (Dunfermline) subbed performance. Hemmings is gonna be a star player for us this season as long as he doesn’t do this under his goalie gloves ️ Let’s get behind the team. Tanser and Strain are going to be our Robertson and Alexander-Arnold wing back sensations. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AW saint Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Booing our own is out of order. Players thrive on confidence so to slate every touch etc will only have a negative effect. Give each player our full support. I know this won't happen but I can but hope 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Dunne will get a decent amount of unwarranted abuse at well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy_Gunn Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 No St.Mirren player ever gets booed. That’s a nonsense. Some players get more grief than others but I don’t think I’ve ever heard our own get booed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 3500 season tickets sold Suspect there's not so much support for us to budget for 10th anymore. Yes, we need to be sensible and responsible, but that ought never to curtail some ambition. Give the fans a winning team, and watch the support grow. Fair dues to all those fans who stick at it even in the bad times - but let's keep having good times - they rock.

I’ve heard our own players getting abuse and don’t get it, if someone at their work was standing over them constantly giving them stick would it inspire them to improve or make more mistakes? These experts don’t know what instruction they’ve been given and maybe not comfortable with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you REALLY need to shout abuse at the football there are 11 men in the opposition team you could vent at. Especially hate to see young players getting it. On that note, and I know it wasn't ALL because he was homegrown, but the abuse McAusland got from day one was absolutely ridiculous. He even won a major trophy with us and he still got dogs abuse every week from a small section of absolute morons! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember big Stark being short with a headed back pass which led to a goal scored v us. The following home game , he received the ball in a similar spot and did the same thing , only this time the headed pass-back was safely collected by Thomson. The home crowd noised him up but big Stark just put his arms up in mock celebration. There's no doubt the players know when the crowd are getting at them ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After some googling it looks like its not even on Radio Scotland, The United vs Falkirk game will be on Radio Scotland Extra. Hopefully get updates on there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said a lot on here that his drop off in pace since his back injury has been significant and worrying. If we shed him from the wage bill and replace him with someone with a bit more pace it will be a decent bit of business. Shame as he's very good but lack of pace in top flight kills a good defender and presence of it makes an average defender better than they are.

Stan Bo Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I like Gallagher and felt we were worse when he missed out last year but as mentioned above his legs seem to have completely went from the injuries towards the end of the season and the first few games this season. Imagine he would be one of the higher earners... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac28 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 All the best to him, We knew we had to lose some players to bring in more. Goga seems to be moving into Defence with O'Hara and CBM being first picks for Midlfield 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
