Hi all I'm a st mirren fan that attended today's game and thought I would give u my thoughts. Firstly what. Cracking club and friendly bunch u all were far better than the welcome and hostile atmosphere at Carlisle. As for the game I felt u tried to pass the ball around and play some nice football at times. We started the games with a lot of youngsters and squad players which didn't help but to be fair most of them will be in and around our first team squad at some point during the season.

I believe u play Carlisle in ur first competitive match in a couple of weeks, I think they will probably beat u but only because the were very physical and u lot looked a little bit light weight and will be out muscled. U certainly play better football than them but sadly that doesn't count for much in Britain. As for the grey hair thug in our team his name is Jim Goodwin I absolutely agree his tackling today was a disgrace and I'm only glad he didn't do anyone any serious damage.

Best of luck for the season ahead I will keep an eye out for ur results and as my work takes me to Darwen a lot I will try and attend a mid week match.
