Under 21 Rule
Stupid rule. Deprives some senior players of a place in the team when they perhaps merit it. They should only be in the team if their good enough to play.

Home Support V The Accies
Support is vital for the closing games. Would love to get to the away games but exams are such a burden there. We just can't afford to slip up to the frustrating crap that Hamilton play if they take the lead. I'm hoping we get right in their faces to start with and get the opener. If we do i think we will win.

Black For Scotland
Kerr and Black are the best central midfield we've had in a long time i think. I'll admit there were times when i felt he was just too hot headed to sustain a regular place in the team but after watching him this season, simply get the head down and get on with his football and even after he said he was leaving he said he was fully commited to us until the end of the season. I have to admit i was wrong to think he would never change. We are going to miss him alot. It would be a miracle if he stays but i just don't see it.

Who's Contract Would You Renew
McGuires contract expires next season. He isn't going anywhere i think.

Butcher: 100 Days In
Given the fact that he was inheriting a very unsettled and patched up squad i'd say he has done a wonderful job. In the 3 days left in the market he made 2 excellent signings in Brian Kerr and Richie Foran and a decent player in Eric Odhiambo who have all shown how capable they are of playing for the team. He has also brought performances out of misfits like Barrowman, Proctor and of course Djebi-Zadi. He has also instilled a togetherness back into the team as team spirit and morale seems high again, performances are not always good but they get results and TCS has become a place for teams to fear again as we have only lost 1 league game there since he arrived. Also the vital games we have played like last week, Ibrox and the last gasp point against the Accies have been very inspiring performances that i would never have thought we would get back in December/January time. Conclusion will be when we hopefully confirm survival which i'm hoping will be before the end of the season and if this is the case i only hope that Big Tel will remain at the helm for a long time as he is a manager that clearly has the pedigree we needed.

Who's Contract Would You Renew
Proctor, Foran, Kerr, Morais, Mihadjuks, Djebi-Zadi and Vigurs. Not fussed about McBain and Wood. Butcher and Malpas surely need to get their deals extended. I'm saying all this on the basis that we survive of course.

Ref Still Right When Shown To Be Wrong
Who else saw Didier Drogba's rant at the camera last night? Regardless of what the outcome was you do not behave like that! Man U vs Barca, Messi vs Ronaldo, all sounds so much better than Man U vs Chelsea....again. But i think Stevie Wonder would have spotted Pique's handball, terrible, terrible refereeing.

Fortress Longman
Home form has been vital for us since Butcher came in no doubt about it and i'm so glad that it has improved since he arrived. All being well it remains a fortress for the remaining 2 games as well as pick up some results away.

Favourite Caledonian Thistle Strip
04/05 was my favourite, and it i got loads of autographs on it after i grew out of it.

Jamie Smith At Aberdeen.
Out of contract at the end of the season and is under the impression he won't get a new one. Especially if Aberdeen don't make Europe. Has been blighted by injuries over the last year but may be worth a punt on a free if he became avaiable. thoughts??

Chopping And Changing
Barrowman was ok on Saturday and as Johnboy mentioned he is worth a run in the team for the final few games i think. Morais would be more effective out wide anyway, as would Dougie who also had an excellent game. What i will say is that Butcher has injected some confidence into lesser players which is a reflection on what sort of a manager we have....a good one.

Matchday Thread: St Mirren -v- Ict
90 minutes of excitement is worth years back in Division 1? No thanks, I want us to be as safe as possible beforehand. Agreed. I would much rather the last game of the season being won as a means of bowing out of a difficult season on a high, with safety already been garunteed for us.

Matchday Thread: St Mirren -v- Ict
It's the sort of luck we need to get results and tbh i think we deserve it. We've had alot go against us this season. It's nice seeing things go our way for a change.

Winning Goal Celebrations
Jimmy Glass for Carlisle a few years ago. Goalkeeper scored the winning goal to keep them up and then the worlds quickest pitch invasion started. If thats not a celebration i don't know what is.
-
New Goalkeeper
Poom is an excellent keeper. That ex Liverpool and Portsmouth guy Westerveld is also avaiable on a free. Would be an idea to try and pick up a free-be keeper in the summer. If we stay up i'm well looking forward to our summer transfer activity.

Matchday Thread: St Mirren -v- Ict
It's a massive step towards getting safety and an indication of the confidence Terry Butcher has instilled in the team.
-
Ross Tokely
He must have been pritty impressive at centre half for a 77 capped international to be that happy with him. I wouls agree though. He was fairly solid there.
-
Matchday Programme
The club don't really give a toss about anything that involves time and money. Only until it starts to be a problem for them.

Signings For Next Season
Leigh Griffiths at Livingston is attracting alot of attention. 18 goals this season and is said to have great technique. Dundee just had an offer knocked back for him.

Keys To Getting Points V St Mirren
Kick Andy Dorman till he loses a leg then we will be home free.
-
Falkirk
It would be so much sweeter than sending down Dunfermline 2 seasons ago if we do so.
-
Matchday Programme
Bayne's banter was great. You always got a laugh out of it. Fans view in the older ones was good too, especially from the BENI. Few things i miss from the past ones.

County Player Faces Jail
I'm just glad it's not us. We've had enough negative press over the last season or so. Richie Hart drug saga, Sutherland vs Sutherland, Niculae suing ICT. Strachan is a talented footballer but doing that is just monstrous.

Signings For Next Season
Jim Hamilton wouldn't be a bad player himself. He dosen't play regularly for St Mirren and he is a hard worker.
