Redandwhitearmy2 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 No thanks Worst footballer I’ve ever witnessed [emoji52][emoji52]even Taylor Morgan was fuckin better 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I reckon the results this weekend have decided the title for St Mirren. They certainly have the best manager in the league and can’t see them dropping many points before the end of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergie's no1 fan Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Can't believe we have managed to persuade Airdrie to take Hutton and Guffy off our wage bill in the last 12 months. Just how desperate are you guys?The 11 point gap may be a bit deceiving just now as they have a game in hand and have us to play at home but even at that I never thought we could open up such a gap.They'd have been as well giving Ellis the job permanent, they were brilliant against us last time at Tannadice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Beginning of February 2017, 7 points adrift at the bottom of the league. 12 months on, 11 points clear at the top. What a football club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) Top of the league by 11 points Most wins Least defeats Most goals Second best defensive record Beaten everyone bar Morton. Beaten everyone bar Morton and Falkirk at least twice.

What a football club. I am beginning to wonder if Ross hasn't got the best record of any of our managers. I posted a few pages back the win ratio just now compared to our most "successful" season (67/68) with the current being 70% and the 67/68 season being 75%, but these are only season based statistics. If you were to calculate it over a calendar year (and it's Sunday morning so I can't be fucked doing it now) you might find he is the most successful manager we've ever had. (Maybe).

Several of us were told to get back in our box for suggesting that we'd be title challengers. Surviving relegation on goal difference with the form we were in does not mean we'd be up in a title challenge next season. We were then told that our signings were significant downgrades to the side from last season and that would be our undoing... that Loy being replaced by Reilly and OBrien being replaced by Samson in particular were terrible replacements. Yet here we are, with the same majority of squad from the end of last season being proven correct in our optimism. No chickens counted until we're over the line but several of us knew we wouldn't be in the pack this season and instead we'd be one of the two or three to beat.

In fact it seems that he was the catalyst for Ross' success. An unsung hero that really deserves to be given huge credit for our current form. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought United would kick on and we'd be best of the rest. We've actually been relentless. Tone was set in the first couple of home games and we've not looked back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 For all of Alex Rae's arseholery, he was hugely complimentary to the side and Jack Ross on Friday night. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has dug himself many a hole previously. I mean it's not that as an ex-manager he wasn't going to be asked about our current success, but surely he'd learn to take it with good grace (or simply sidestep the question) but no... his ego gets in the way and he sounds like man who's just had his cornflakes shat on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully understand why people were sceptical, I was too. I never in a million years thought we'd be in this position of strength but even from week one I saw enough to know were going to be there or thereabouts. I said from the start that the league title fight would be cutthroat with Utd, ourselves and Falkirk (lol) sweating it out and being on edge week in week out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
