Talk MacKenzie was back in training - so think he is building up his fitness.
The other 2 a while to go yet I believe.
Shame as Magennis was really just getting back into stride.
Would be good to have him back for a prolonged period, feel over the last few years he has been pretty unlucky to have a lot of injury problems.

Yeah, but that is all known, and was reported in the press at the time. What we keep hearing is there is " other, non football/results reasons for him getting the sack" but nothing ever materlises, and history shows us its likely nothing ever will.
in short its a bit of a ruse to try and deflect from the huge clusterf**k the board made in appointing, then sacking him after what? Three months..
I agree the board need to shoulder the blame in the whole thing also.
However, wasn't there something re: Josh Heaton? I heard a rumor, maybe read it on here actually, that there was some alternative narrative to his signing. Anyway, like you say it could all be bullshit and hearsay, intriguing none the less.

Yeah, the presenter (McDonald?) said “plenty of St Mirren fans want Goodwin as manager.” Aye, but not right now. Context ya fanny.
Listening tonight and just wondered why no journalist has ever dug deeper on the Stubbs ‘era’? Instead of passing comment on his treatment, maybe they could find the real story? Perhaps they could uncover something inherently wrong with fitba?
But naw, that would mean doing some work.
I keep hearing this about something not quite right that will come out in the wash.
Pretty intriguing tbh.

Correct, Lyons should have been waved up and the match played on.
It's not a foul. Crucially though, not all instances where a player goes down are fouls....not all instances where a player goes down and there's no foul are dives.
It's a very narrow viewpoint to take that if he wasn't fouled, he dived. He's anticipated being blocked off and went down. Staying on his feet would have potentially been more painful so I can see why he did it. It was in a nothing area of the park and if this is going to be deemed a bookable offence, then we're going to see a lot more in future.
Funnily enough, I don't see it happening. An Alloa player did the EXACT same thing in the box yesterday at 2-0 where the St. Mirren player won the ball but a bit of contact was made....the Alloa player was waved up by the ref....how does that work?
This is exactly what I said at the game and since seeing it.
IMO - It was not a foul. It was not a dive. Game should have continued.
Each time a player hits the deck is not a bi polar foul or dive, these guys run at pace and is (should be) a contact sport, I think he called this one wrong.

It is!
edit: and the fat striker Killie have stopped playing is also in the frame! Seems Oran doesnt want to stay in this league?
Sammon has hardly been a prolific striker anywhere he went, which is a concern but if he does sign then I'd give the guy my backing, like all saints.
However, as for the latter guy, I canny stand him, however, knows where the back of the net is and has been prolific, would take him versus the above!
IMO, I would rather someone a bit more, erm, hungry (sorry Kris) and with youth on their side, but I know that's a hard thing to come by and we are up against other competition in that department....

No better than Cammy McPherson, just another player getting very good wage and accommodation, but no better than what we have,be off again in the summer .
We have boys from the academy who have put in 12 years at the club,don't get a proper chance in the first team then we drop them off the planet .BUT if they are really good early on they get punted out the door to balance the books and replaced by some has been or carpetbaggers.
We have lost our way,this was a club that gave youth a genuine chance .
Genuine question;
Have you seen him play a few times to be able to make this assertion?
You could be right and may have seen him train with the squad and play or it could be a guess/assumption?
I look forward to seeing him and happy to give anyone a chance.

Yeah, let's apologise to a guy banned from football for calling another player a "golly", because some were a bit cheeky. Should never have been allowed anywhere near the club. As for "done the club a favour".....lol.
When did he do this? Quite shocked at this if true?

Season started in July, it is now 2019 and wee torn faced has done feck all.
Good riddens to Smith.
Did he manage to pick up his salary all by himself ?
My original post highlights that he hasn't played much since start of season and that I was simply a bit more concerned with this than others who have left.
The point I am making is he has been used as a sub and actually started a few times of late and showed some glimpses of the player he can be. What I am mostly aware of is there are players who featured less or have had an equally poor start to the season who currently remain (Flynn for example).
Anyway he is gone and I am more interested to see who comes in to replace him.

Sorry if I've missed it elsewhere but the Dundee Evening Telegraph are reporting Smith off to Utd. as imminent.
https://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/fp/dundee-united-set-to-sign-attacker-cammy-smith-from-st-mirren/
Despite not having a lot of game time this season, this is the only departure that I am second guessing.
I do think he has something to offer.... however, I am sure OK knows what hes doing.

Looks like Anton could be leaving - ok trying to keep him
https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/st-mirren-boss-oran-kearney-13836929
Having read this article, I actually appreciate OK more.
Seems like a very genuine, astute and all round good people manager.
Lets hope he gets what we need over this window. So far though, he offloaded the guys that we ought to have. Lets see if those on the way in are equally as valuable.

We'd have to move or accommodate the floodlights and the two behind the goals stands are roughly the same size, howver the east and west stands are pretty different. there wouldn't be a neat solution that would maximise the space. I'm pretty sure each corner area could possibly hold an extra 200 seats each and we need to keep at least one corner open
As regards the proposal to look for concerts to fill the ground in the summer, there are many big concerts in the city at this time and the Hydro would house roughly 150% of what we could squeeze in to the SDA, leaving us with very few suitable events to bid for.
whoever approved the final designs of the stadium really closed out the prospect of making extra money from events
You have a far better understanding of this kinda stuff than me tbh.
That last point is just typical tbh.

Probably about an extra 800 or so
Really not worth the money, which would be between 400k-700k, to build
I would have thought it would have been approx 10k with corners filled in (3 of which).
But just a guess based on Livi's ground. I seem to recall it being like ours before the corners built in.
Livi's (just for size and aesthetic) is exactly what I would have hoped our stadium would have been. Uch well, can but dream and that.....

If they are saying that Willie Collum didn't see the incident and he said he did then they are not accusing him of incompetence but of deliberately lying. That is a step too far and surely they are bringing the game into disrepute
I have said this before. However, they have got worse... always the victim, what I have noticed is Gerard seems to play on this which sends a bad message out to the club and wider associates.

I can just imagine the Awards Ceremony to honour Sammy for the Clean Sheets.
"Congratulations to Sammy. Now let's watch on the Video Screen, some of the great saves he made during the Record Breaking Run "
"Fecking hell, what do you mean there's none?, You saying it was all down to the Defence who cleared the ball most of the time ? "
" GIES THAT TROPHY BACK "
Genuine question;
Based on that rhetoric do you disagree with 'top goal scorer' too? As most of the time the chance was set up by and only possible due to another players input? Or scrap 'man of the match' as other players assisted in said persons performance?
As I say I am intrigued by this as never really thought this in depth about things that are just footballing recognition.
