Ric Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Pfft... youngsters, for some of us St Mirren were a regular top 6 side while Motherwell were the epitome of a yo-yo team. I fully expect those sorts of positions to return. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) I didn't mind it when we used to be a yo-yo team, tbh. As long as yo-ing doesn't represent an existential threat to the club, it has its merits. Obviously the seasons when you yo are way better than the ones when you yo, but over the piece it's not too bad, and Motherwell will learn to love it, I'm sure.

Biscuits Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 In what's been a grim season for us, St Mirren breaking a glorious run of finishing lower than 'Well every year since the Berlin Wall fell (or the advent of the World Wide Web, or any other amusing historical landmark that feels appropriate) would be almost too much. An Accies win (or a draw) to keep this tinpot pettiness alive for a few more weeks would be quite good. That said, I think I'm right in saying that back in the mists of time, when Saints did last manage it, Accies got relegated that season and then spent countless years casting around the seaside leagues, groundless while the heart was slowly ripped out of the club. Something for everyone there.Seriously what the f**k difference does it make? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 A lot of fear on here from fans of other clubs. Defo worried about those Tony Fitzpatrick posts from the start of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) Right on cue... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/56438258 I'm sure a few will enjoy Alan Stubbs claiming it wasn't realistic. That'll be Alan 'unemployed since being huckled out of the club for being a charlatan' Stubbs. Edit: Apologies, CS, I see you posted this in the main St Mirren thread already. Still no harm in having it in here too.. Edited March 18, 2021 by Ric 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be the same Alan Stubbs who has spent that past 2 years slaughtering the board for holding unrealistic aspirations since day one and admitted to even having doubts at the interview about the targets that they were asking of him. The same Alan Stubbs who said the board completely hamstrung him and had demands that were far too high of a club of our status. The same Alan Stubbs who no more than 45 seconds into his very first interview as St. Mirren manager offered up the following very telling soundbite without any sort of prompting, or leading from the interviewer: Quote '....they (the board) come across as very supportive, realistic, ambitious....' Amazing how only AFTER his pathetic failing that he was shafted by the board from day dot and cut off at the knees with a shite budget and unrealistic aspirations of the top six. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergie's no1 fan Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Its going to come down to how we handle the occasion.Whilst Accies have a horrendous injury crisis they are still a threat. If we manage to get an early goal it will settle the nerves. The longer it goes on 0-0 the more panicky it will get. We will all be glued to the game in Perth too. The team have to be focused though, I'm sure Jim will have them in the right frame of mind. We need 1 big performances from the first whistle to the last, not had many perfect 90 minute performances this season.Just a shame the fans can't go. We'd filled every bit of allocation Accies had for us. Would have been some atmosphere. I've said it all along, you don't get a trophy for finishing top 6, would rather be in StJohnstones position with a trophy than ours without one but we have seen so many teams similar size to ourselves, and much smaller, finishing top 6 it's about time we got the monkey off our back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
