Hooray

How many yards did it travel when he tried to control it?

[disconnect]

SACK HIM NOW

[Master Bates]

Bye Still

[Sheaf Saint]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck off Saints you bunch of utterly useless fucking pricks. Every fucking single one of you.

[saintant]

There's some people on the pitch.....it is now! Horrendous.

[Chez]

Utter shite from start to finish. 

[Saint Scott]

Sport Republic should sacked him after Blackburn, pathetic

Good

[Saint NL]

Var would have disallowed that I reckon

[Saint_clark]

I know it really doesn't matter, but how is the guy that slid in behind McCarthy not offside?

Fans leaving early. Disgraceful. They should wait until the final whistle to join in the booing. 

Going back to their cars to collect their pitchforks.

[SWLondon Saint]

Yep, he's done. Can't survive after that. Players awful too, no fight. Whole coaching team has to go, Nivea boy included.

[Chez]

"you're not fit to wear the shirt" sung loud and clear.

[OttawaSaint]

We wanted Champagne football.

We'd have settled for a sparkling perry.

We got Still orange...

Fuck off!

Hull, or Derby for me. 

[Baird of the land]

This sack of complete garbage can’t be allowed to manage saints for another minute.

[Challenger]

For fucks sake, give these useless fuckers an empty stadium next game.

[The very right reverend]

What us genuinely amazing is how we have consistently over the last 3/4 years bought so poorly time and time again, and even more galling the players we haven't bought in the positions needed. Still is a symptom of a club that doesn't know what it is doing, we're screwed.

[Saint NL]

Manning. He's the opposite of Downs, he touches the ball too much

Can get 4/1 on Preston at Betfred

Knew I should've jumped on this 🤦

[BotleySaint]

Incredible how poor we look now. The squad isn't THAT bad. 

Needs an experienced manager to come in and stabilise.

[saintant]

Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out Will. You will long regret not making the most of this opportunity due to a complete lack of courage.

[badgerx16]

Bye Will.

[Saint NL]

See ya Will, I'd like to say its been fun, but it really hasn't.

Go back to Belgium and try and rebuild.

Just call me Nostradamus.

 

He’s got to go.

[Sheaf Saint]

Right. If SR don't act now after that then they need to be run out of town by a baying mob with pitchforks. 

How the hell they can just sit on their hands and continue to let this total shitness unfold is baffling beyond belief.

[Master Bates]

Sacked

[badgerx16]

Did we have a shot on target ?

They need to act by sacking themselves 

 

[OttawaSaint]

Still orange tastes like piss!

[SWLondon Saint]

Still is so passive on the sidelines, Heckingbottom making a sub in the last minute, up, active, talking to the player coming on. Still just stands with his hands in pockets, no instructions, no....nothing. I hoped he would come good but this job is too big for him.

[obelisk]

That was dreadful. Still can't survive this shambles.

Well let's hope they don't act now and are run out of town by a baying mob with pitchforks because they are the real architects of our downward spiral.

2. One in the first half, and the save from Janders shot.

Not good enough

They like to drag it out to give any last faint chance that their decision making will be vindicated. I genuinely think they’ll only sack him if we lose the next 2 games. They’re probably hoping that we will beat Sheff weds and then they’ll delude themselves into thinking we are going to turn it around. Only problem with that is, we are going to lose to Sheff weds and create an even more toxic atmosphere. That’s just how bad these cunts are in charge. They’ll sit on this until we truly humiliate ourselves and lose to bottom of the table. Their standards are so low that whilst we aren’t in the drop zone, they’ll not act. Bet you anything . Bunch of absolute cunts

Incredibly muted protests at the ends, the fans that stayed just quietly filing out 😕

The Jander one that was tipped onto the bar, and possibly the Robinson one that hit the defender's head.

The fact we are looking up admiringly at Paul Heckingbottom, speaks absolute volumes at the utter state this club is in

He's so obviously a fraud and SR need to stop being clever pricks and appoint an experienced manager, with funds in January. But who knows with them in charge. 

[Toussaint]

If we win the next six in a row and everyone else loses, we will be top! Let that sink in. 

Edited 1 November, 2025 by Toussaint

[saintant]

If he is sacked we'll not hear his side on whether those above influenced team selection and tactics because he'll have to sigh an ND agreement. SR continue to pass under the radar and deflect blame.

I do and I suspect most of our fanbase do as well.

They deserve a League 1 or two club really. As pathetic as the club. 

[Mboto Gorge]

Preston’s second away win in 13 matches. This club are literally the worst run in Europe , the worst owners ever. 

[Convict Colony]

This place is not going to be pretty reading for a long time, wonder who next is the sacrifical lamb.

I would guess Still's issue is he is a transition manager who isnt expecting a lot of posession.

We look so unorganised in attack and defence, no pace and do not seem to be getting better.

Dont get me wrong the players have been utter wank as well but we cant get rid of them mid season and I am not sure who the fuck can turn this mess around.

I still think we have the makings of a good young team just need some football whisperer who tell them how to play football again.
