I sent him a message after reading this mate, he’s been in touch. He’s absolutely fine, but not been back to the club since they dicked him around over wages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that at the time. When I heard Kettlewell whinging on about it I thought my eyes were needing to be checked. Turns out that Kettlewell is just a bad loser. Wee bit disappointed in him. Apology incoming? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AW saint Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Is this a better period supporting the club than our 1st division wins. The players, support and management are so together. Our home form is outstanding. The squad is one of the best I have seen in ages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He puts his hand out, then after the booking goes back and squats down beside Strain. He knows it was a poor tackle. It's difficult to see just how bad it was from that angle. Can't see if it is high or studs showing. Fair enough - I’d maybe read it wrong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just what it looked like to me, and the fact that McGinn doesn't strike me as the type of player to have a go like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season has the potential to be one we'll put in the memory books. Player/fan/Manager relationship has been excellent since Oran Kearney arrived. My only worry is that I can't see what to worry about! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two teams whose supporters perceived "superiority" exudes in every post they make. At least Well have actually achieved something in the past few years, albeit not a cup success in sight. As for Dundee.... Need I say more? However, when they get their arses handed to them on a plate, and they get the piss ripped out of them, they adopt some sort of pathetic, precious persona. Long may it last, as it provides excellent entertainment. I didn't quite realise just how much finishing above us meant to them. We better let them finish ahead of us this season or the will really spit the dummy out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appears to be the case, yeah. Hopefully closer to 15 appearances than 40 to trigger it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a decade of glory like we had with TW, but you need to try and make sure your club has a plan for after and maybe fan ownership helps you put that pressure on. Presumably Foyle goes with Robinson, but your club will need the process for identifying players etc., to continue after they leave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've made progress season on season (Stubbs shambles aside) since we brought Jack Ross in. That's not to say we couldn't hit the skids and find ourselves in the Championship in the near future, of course we could. A bad managerial appointment or losing too many key players at once could undo a lot of the good work. Robinson came to us because we were a club in good shape. Whilst he has done very well and deserves a lot of credit, there's more to it than just him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was meant to be tongue in cheek - I'm sure at some point in the season we'll hit a rough patch and see folks true colours shining thru, until then us real Saints just wanna have fun.

You dont have a proper process then one unexpected knock can throw everything into disarray. One bad window can f**k you. Im not saying this will happen, just that if theres anything to worry about then it would be that. Say March you lose Robinson and Foyle, then Tanser, Strain and Baccus all decide theyre leaving in the Summer. If you have a process in place then scouting/negotiating with players can continue without Robinson/Foyle and losing 3 key players isnt a big deal. If you dont then suddenly youve a couple of months to identify and try and sign replacements. Robinson seems to be trying to "future proof" you though so it doesnt happen that way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
