I'd always seen Goodwin as St Mirrens resident cage fighter, if he's describing opponents as physical or aggressive, in all fairness, from him that's a compliment, it's what his game was based on.
I think they have really played this. The new stadium capacity is about half their original plan as priced & started in 2020. They've built some very prominent storage/lock up type things in front of the social club for the training gear. I think they've altered the original scheme to create more of a training complex (with @ 800 seats) than a football stadium. (Then pleaded to get back to Hampden after deliberately building it too small).
The bottom line to me is we can't realistically expect a running commentary on the running of the club as it doesn't make sense to broadcast potential signings etc. We can't expect confirmation/denial/clarification every time some speculation crops up on an Internet forum. There will always be things better kept behind the scenes, we all have disagreements & tensions in our working relationships, but this shouldn't be taken out of the workplace. There's a practical limit to transparency.
Done a bit of checking on the Dundee Utd thing, they actually used 20 players, so a fair squad & a loan player. The loan was a surprise to me, John McNeil of Morton briefly on loan mid season one sub appearance. I'd totally forgotten that.
I've seen this quoted about Dundee Utd a number of times down the years since they won that championship but I never heard it said at the time. I've a recollection one of their ex-players corrected this one time saying there were actually 17 or 20 players involved across the season.
Seen that more than a few times down the years when somebody limps on because all the subs have been used. Worst one from a Morton point of view was Kevin Finlayson at Broadwood one night years back hobbling up and down the touchline for the last 25 minutes. From the little he could do he should have gone off regardless.
I see you can get Kelty Hearts tickets for the league cup game on the Fanbase app as they are with Fanbase as well. Makes a hell of a difference having a system that works.
