For goodness sake.

I don't think you can really include Morgan. I think that Xander would be fancied ahead of Morgan to be honest. McBain also doesn't really offer as much as Xander would do out wide. he is certainly much more of a central player than a wide man. Rankin and Paatelainen fair enough though. Much the same on the right - Cowie and Hart I see as more central midfielders. Hart has shown to be particularly effective in the middle and Cowie appears to be a fantastic box to box midfielder but I don't think he is so well suited out on the right. Wilson however is a "real" wide player. Basically I don't see why, when we really don't have that many proper wide men, we are shipping out an exciting talent like Xander who can cause some real damage coming on. He is pacy, tricky and could give defences a real handful. We have plenty of midfielders that's for sure but not all of them are particularly well adapted to playing out wide.

Utter garbage. We have a ridiculous number of options in the centre of midfield but very little out wide I feel. Rankin can do a job on the left but I think he is best in the middle. On the right we have Wilson and...... Marcus and McBain are not good enough I feel to deputise.

From what you are saying I would imagine that he was standing down at the front asking the guy to come off the wall so he didn't have to walk up to him and through you lot in the process? I would imagine also that the first person to be thrown out was because of the swearing in the song?

Thing is I don't think there has ever been anything saying people in the SS can stand up. If they get asked to sit they need to do so. When they don't things escalate and if you get a steward like the one last night then things just get worse as tensions rise. I would prefer it if they could stand up but sadly it seems some stewards will tolerate it a wee bit while others just wade in seeking confrontation. Perhaps this guy would be better employed at the next game against Rangers/Celtic/Aberdeen. Given that he is only too happy to fire into the crowd to get folk to sit down it sounds like he could be some use in the Away end.

I think I've said before that his crossing is never really that good anyway and to be honest it isn't. But then again he isn't a midfielder and his primary role is to defend so things like crossing won't be as good. Would be good to see if he can improve it though given how often he gets a chance to put a ball in.

If that is true then it is entirely up to you lot to complain about it as you will have been the ones who saw it happen. Unfortunately others can only complain about what they saw so it would be imperative that as many of you who witnessed this bullying of a child by a steward complain as possible.

For those who don't know St. Mirren lost to East Fife East Fife of the 3rd Division (This is the 6th time I've tried to post this!)

Why were they pushing a 13 year old about?

:015:

These aren't rumours though - these are official "sightings" :004:

Aye and there are only a certain number of them available as well.

I can think of one or two people that pass on third hand (or is that third rate?) knowledge :004: No I'm not picking a fight. If I did you would kick my *** as I am powerfully weak.

Shame you managed to get in such a tizz bout it at the time that you felt compelled to post that it was a stonewaller when you weren't even there.

Aye. That's exactly what I said :017:

Bennett met Shearer in The Fluke yesterday.

I would look at your sources and see how reliable they are. Especially after your outburst last season where you claimed that ICT should have had a penalty when Wilson was fouled only to be later told by your informant you had got things wrong again :015:

Glad he rejected us if this is true. I wouldn't want him at ICT.

Disagree. We have played some utterly atrocious stuff under CC just as we did under CB. We also did play some decent stuff under CB - thrashings of Hibs come to mind. Both were as bad and as good as each other but on the whole ICT play some really poor football compared to other SPL sides.

Coyle couldn't even get Saint Johnstone past a Gretna side falling apart as it limped towards the finishing line in the SFL1. His side bottled it big time and I don't think he could do a job for us given that the relative financial advantages he enjoyed at Perth would not be present at ICT.

And to be honest that is one of the reasons why I am finding my "passion" for ICT slowly diminishing. Some people seem to think we are very fickle indeed.

Replace Brewster with Christie and you also have how others were feeling in the last year or so as well.
