The St. Mirren game cancelled by pools

Whoops.

There's not enough players

I get the feeling the Hibs game would’ve went the same way if we weren’t already in Portugal and it wasn’t overly advertised as a game courtesy of Hobins relationship with someone from that club.

Do you never stop? You’re like a woodpecker.

Hes probably rite.
Will Walsall be cancelled.

Hey up, here comes me shadow!

Get used to it.

We didn't want the Scottish players being tempted to move back home, so best option cancel it. Good to see we have learnt lessons from last season and are going to go into another season well prepared.

sounds like another day of gloom in front of us. all conspiracy theories would be welcome.

They’ve been on the Biffo gas since he got the job, but to be fair, if Pep Gouardiola got the job something would be amiss. It’s not the managers, just a slooooow collective short circuiting of their ‘brains’.
If Raj could walk on water they’d say dismissively it was because he can’t swim.

Wont be long for Morse Code Boy replys to your post in his usual courteous manner.

Expecting these quality good budget signings to arrive next week or the week after.


















But theres always the January Window.

HEY! Not having football players at a football club is normal… it doesn’t matter the other teams in league 2 are fielding first half and second half 11’s….don’t upset Snowy with your negativity!

Exactly, plus you don't want the new players to come in too early as they might get too homesick. Its simple good management. Meanwhile, no point playing a friendly as they'll be getting used to playing alongside players that might not be in the starting XI at Walsall.

If you really hit pay dirt a sink hole will appear at the Vic and you can howl at the moon in delight as everything disappears.
Supporters? You’re just demanding 12 year olds.
Am I going to enjoy this season. Make the most of it girls, if a cancelled friendly gets you in a lather, there’s not too much you can say really.

accy..."sounds like another day of gloom in front of us. all conspiracy theories would be welcome"

..yep...here they all come...like michael jackson's thriller vid....and some real quality posts on the HUFC facebook o/s as a result of this st mirren catastrophe .....for example...

..this bloke potter is from swindon..sounds a bit like bigdogshite on here tbh...
John Potter
"This has got to be the worst pre season ever organised by any responsible EFL club. What is the managing director doing. It’s time the supporters were told what’s going on"

how about this loid robson from darlo....bitter after all these years?
Paul G Robson
"Mr Singh strikes again darlo fan here get rid of the leech horrible man before it's too late"

an airhead named smith claims to have had further education in newcastle...doubt it...SQUAD type..
Tom Smith
"This situation is becoming very worrying. It is obvious we have not got enough players. Less than 4 weeks to the ko. we should have a squad by now. Something is just not right."

classic balls from this c/k twidale from coxhoe ...think he needs to get out a bit more tbh...
Peter Twidale
"Heard nout like this. Who’s running the show?"


...a friendly is cancelled... so welcome to the land of the brain dead.....

I’d say there’s some valid points in there.

No we just demand a chance to compete against clubs of similar stature, while paying the most expensive tickets in the league, maybe the least we can expect.

You’ve done nothing but demand, but seem to switch sides when convenient.
I suspect whatever they do you’ll never be satisfied.

On the fiddle again eh….tsk

Can't see why this comment is so much of an issue when the statement on the OS says as much:

"This fixture was a last-minute addition to our confirmed pre-season schedule and following a reassessment, we felt that it was more beneficial to spend an uninterrupted week of training at Maiden Castle focusing on building the squad and integrating new players into the pre-season camp without the added fixture in Scotland."

On Pools' last day in Portugal Paul Hartley told Chandy in an interview on Pools' social media that he was hoping to bring in 2 or more 3 players this weekend. Obviously things haven't progressed as quickly as he hoped - which is not to say the deals won't go through in the early part of next week.

It's fair enough to cancel the St. Mirren friendly - can't see the point myself of playing another game with Mark Shelton upfront and half the subs being goalkeepers. On the other hand, the game wouldn't have been arranged in the first place if Pools hadn't anticipated having enough players in by now to make it worthwhile, so it IS a setback of sorts. Pretending it's not is as daft as pretending it's a massive problem.

pools cancel a friendly. just washed the car and its starting to rain. heard we have chicken pie for dinner and i,ve lost the extension to de dog the car. if only i could afford the gas i,d end it all.

Infantile.

No that's rubbish. Swop sides with who? Do you mean with other posters on here? No im not like that. More than satisfied when we showed a tiny bit of ambition when we were in the conference. That's all stopped now. If you and pooie1 are happy great but you won't shut down fans who feel we can do a lot better.

If your concerned about the current situation your made out to be a bad fan.
Just hope we dont sign any Tom Dick or Harry to get the squad up to size for the Walsall game.
5pm 30thJuly this place could be an all nite explosion of insults.
I mean bunker banter.
Walsall 5
Pools 1
500 concerned poolies

Nothing unusual with a friendly being cancelled.
Only thing unusual is people thinking its unusual.

billy..."No we just demand"

errr..we "just" demand?.. nah.. aren't you forgetting something you also do?..and excel in tbh..here's a clue...begins with the letter l..

You’re actually doing it now…accentuating the negative. Oh dear.

You certainly excel in being one thing on here and it's a 4 letter word beginning with D.

If he was chairman I wonder what he’d say when a fan ‘demanded’ him to do something……. Of course that’ll never happen, cos he’ll never ever be in that position.

Duck…..?

Spot on.

Think you two need to get a room.

Ah you see the problem is you are thinking too much. Just hand over your money while remembering the mantra "In Raj we trust". You are over thinking things and besides, your opinion counts for nothing as you are not wealthy enough, you are just a fan.

Yeah you can't comment on it because we aren't wealthy but it's ok to slate Graeme Lee because they have obviously got experience in managing league 2 clubs

This might help too Mr Billingham.

Any staff or players that leave are only permitted to fall into one of three categories nowadays:-

1. Snakes
2. They were shit anyway.
3. A snake who was shit anyway

billy.."No we just demand"

...thought id heard this line before..a cheap copy from the mags?...pathetic...get your banner out next time at the vic?..certainly agree you are demanding..so maybe you should swap your clowns blue n white outfit for black n white ?

What…..?

be very interesting on friday july 29th. whether those posting today will have a change of heart when we have signed most of our squad for next season. can see a possibility of a couple coming in after the season starts. rather we had a scratch team out for a game than just signing anybody up to make the numbers and impatiant fans happy. just because other teams sign players early it does not mean that they,ll be better than our eventual signings.

Aah, the poisons coming out of the wound finally, still pining for you pinup/ heart throb ex manager who legged it. You couldn’t possibly blame him could you, so you turn to your habitual target. There, there.

I prefer Chicken and Rabbit pie to just plain chicken which is much more tasty in my opinion.
As regard the other issue i am getting very concerned.

I very much doubt your ‘ambition’ will ever be ‘satisfied’, you’re just angry with everything.
If these maligned jocks get us to the playoffs or God forbid promotion, I await your transformation with relish.

4. Then get replaced by non league rejects n jock standard Grayfields /Rec players.
















Only Joking.

Most fans are fickle.
End of the day results will define our different opinions.
Anyhow time for me mince n dumplins

Surely it’s common sense to cancel friendly at St Mirren. T travel all the way to Scotland with what will be half a team awaiting new players coming in. Better off getting full days training in at home. Still plenty of time for games with matches with Blackburn, Lincoln,Sunderland, plus local non league teams lined up. Did one of the regular moaners say we are unprepared?

I don’t understand this slagging off of players before they’ve even seen them kick a ball, bad form that.
The one redeeming feature, is if they do perform well, some people are going to look rather silly and one will carry on howling at the moon.

Which Veggies….?
