Tony Wonder Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Went to the Leeds game yesterday against my better judgement. Should've went with my gut, don't think I've been to a friendly yet that's enjoyable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should've went with my gut, don't think I've been to a friendly yet that's enjoyable. Gave it a miss yesterday as I just don't really enjoy friendlies. However I did end up watching a live stream of it. I must admit I was expecting the team to suffer a heavy defeat , but was relieved we held a team with such an expensive squad to 1-0 loss. Our defensive performance looked significantly improved, but it's hard to fully asses our attacking play until the league starts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylish Kid Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 As an aside is it not absolutely farcical that we've not officially moved the fixture on the 12th, knowing fine well that we are playing (someone!) on the 10th.... Seems a bit silly to bother waiting until the opponent is confirmed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit silly to bother waiting until the opponent is confirmed But we can't be sure and MAY play on the Saturday as if Larne qualify (along with Crusaders) we will play in Belfast on Tuesday 8th. I appreciate that is unlikely, but while the possibility exists nothing can be confirmed. It's another problem of the qualifiers being every week. As no teams from the "important" countries are involved the football authorities just do not care. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyQuinn Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 If true, that would be a fantastic signing. Although I think St Mirren could hold out for a decent fee from an English side if they are patient. A very good player. Probably St Mirren's most valuable asset at the moment. I think St Mirren would be more willing to negotiate a deal if you were leave out Andy Halliday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it were true, neither of the players mentioned play in the positions we require. Although maybe we're needing extra training cones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC92 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Always funny when people suggest player swaps (which almost never happen now) and think you can just offer your worst player who has a transfer value of 0. Also, I can't remember the last time we put a bid in for a Premiership player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patterson confirmed he turned down a deal to sign for you guys but you would put that down to Robbie leaving too I suppose it's all fun and games DC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not familiar with those quotes, but it's probably reasonable to suggest Paterson was a Neilson target rather than being identified through the scouting system. Likewise Devlin. After Neilson left, getting Paterson in would still have been a no-brainer if possible, but the same logic doesn't really apply to Devlin. Original point was, rightly or wrongly, it's not really been our style recently to target Scottish-based players who are under contract. 51 minutes ago, kingjoey said: "Swing and a miss" turning into the new P&B "seething". As a veteran of this website, I can assure you both have been P&Bisms for ages. Seethe and a miss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylish Kid Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I'm not sure if we were ever that close to getting Patterson TBH. As per the OP - not sure of the last time we bid (i.e. paying of money or equivalent) for a premiership player. Arguably Levitt as United had just been relegated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
