dish doesn't stop!It's no secret that the Kris Jenner is beyond wealthy, but it turns out that she's so rich that she has a room in her home dedicated entirely to dishes and nothing else. A post on lifestyle blog Poosh reveals that the Kardashian-Jenner momager keeps a museum-worthy china collection in a "walk-in closet," which includes a $598 Hermes cup and saucer, a $640 Gucci teapot and a $460 Hermes plate, among other valuables."The room is impeccably organized and perfectly displays her impressive collection of designer dinnerware sets," the blog says.Kris' collection includes custom coffee mugs and "a range of timeless and rare table sets," the blog adds.Poosh, which is owned and operated by Kris' daughter Kourtney Kardashian, shared photos of the over-the-top room."It's like a mini museum with excellent lighting surrounding each set and not a teacup or plate out of place," the article continued, "truly a work of art."As floods devastated Australia's New South Wales recently, Chris Hemsworth's wife, Elsa Pataky, apparently found herself without a way to contact friends and family, including her husband. According to The Daily Telegraph's Confidential, Elsa was essentially stuck at home with her children after the entrance to their mansion was "completely flooded."

St Mirren hero Frank McGarvey knows a thing or two about tasting success with the Buddies. In his first stint at the club, the clinical young striker helped fire Alex Ferguson’s Furies to the First Division title in 1977.

Premiership players in the act.The St Mirren boss fears the growing number of con artists are tricking top flight referees into handing out penalties is getting out of control.And now Goodwin is calling for VAR to be introduced in Scotland in a bid to help officials clamp down on individual players who con their way to spot kicks in key moments, referencing penalties Hibs and Celtic picked up in Paisley recently as a case in point.He told Express Sport: “If players are constantly diving to win penalties then there should be punishments and consistency with it.“I am watching some of the game recently and seeing certain individuals at certain teams continuously getting penalties for minimal contact.“I am asking the referees to be stronger and

Jim Goodwin has taken a swipe at Greg Taylor as he called on Scottish football to clobber the cheats who are constantly conning refs to win crucial penalties.The St Mirren gaffer is still seething at the Celtic spot-kick for their second goal in Wednesday’s 4-0 defeat in Paisley.Goodwin gave Hoops defender Taylor a dig for going down after the kind of contact that wouldn’t knock over his seven-year-old son.And he demanded the officials to wise up and shame the repeat offenders – and for the game to get a move on with a SPFL version of VAR.Goodwin said: “There has to be an element of personal pride, you don’t want to see yourself diving about as someone touched your shoulder.“Ryan Flynn touched Greg Taylor’s shoulder.

Jim Goodwin said: “Brophy’s had a consistent pain for a number of weeks now. I don’t know if it’s the hard surfaces and chopping and changing between astro and grass.

Jim Goodwin believes it's high time Scottish football implemented VAR as he's sick of referees being conned.The Buddies boss wasn't pleased with a penalty call against his side in Wednesday's 4-0 home loss against Celtic when opposing left-back Greg Taylor went to ground under Ryan Flynn's challenge, winning a spot-kick from whistler Don Robertson that Odsonne Edouard converted.Goodwin didn't reference that incident but it's clear he's had enough with the antics of some players, in the same week Parkhead striker Albian Ajeti's simulation charge was chucked out after an appeal.He also levelled a similar dig after conceding a penalty in the loss to Hibs at the start of the month and the Irishman insists he's fed up of officials having "the

Frank McAvennie insists his old side were TERRIBLE despite their 4-0 win over St Mirren.The defending champions closed the gap to Rangers to 18 points with a big win over Jim Goodwin's side in Paisley.However it was a late flurry of goals that gave Neil Lennon's side such a big cushion, with the Celtic boss praising his players afterward.But one former Parkhead hero finds that analysis baffling as he insisted there were few positives to take. Asked what he thought of the display McAvennie told Football Insider: "Terrible.

Jim Goodwin says he expected more from his players against Celtic on Wednesday night.But the Saints boss was full of praise for the visitors whose ruthless performance was too much for his team to handle.St Mirren started brightly as they looked for a repeat performance following their win at Parkhead, but an early injury to Jamie McGrath stopped them in their tracks.Tom Rogic opened the scoring soon after, and a late volley of goals from Odsonne Edouard, Ryan Christie and David Turnbull completed a comprehensive win for Neil Lennon's team.And Goodwin couldn't hide his disappointment as he assessed his side's display.Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "We're bitterly disappointed with the loss first and foremost."First half, I didn't think

Tom Rogic's delightful opener with just 16 minutes on the clock set his side up for victory before Odsonne Edouard's late penalty sealed another victory for the champions.But the visitors weren't done as substitute Ryan Christie and David Turnbull then rubbed salt in the wounds by adding another two goals in a matter of minutes.It cuts Rangers' lead at the top to 18 points, although Neil Lennon's men still have one last game in hand to make up over their rivals.Despite the gap it's three wins on the spin for the Parkhead side and they've at least built something resembling momentum in one of their busiest months.Jim Goodwin has his side playing admirably well in a system built on relentless pressing and they looked in fine fettle early on

Celtic.The then 19-year-old didn’t hold back on his celebrations after netting against the Hoops back in January 2016, despite his side Hamilton already being 7-0 down at the time.Now 24, the Scotland international has scored another three goals against Celtic while playing for both Accies and Kilmarnock.The St Mirren forward is desperate to add to that tally tonight in Paisley as he looks to get off the mark for his new club against the current Premiership champions.He told Express Sport: “I’ve got a decent record (against Celtic). I think most of them came at Celtic Park, right enough, and there weren’t many victories in there.“My first ever top-flight goal came for Accies in an 8-1 loss.

Jim Goodwin insists his confident side are looking forward to trying to seal an incredible double over Celtic tonight. The Buddies haven’t beaten the Hoops home and away in the same season since the 1989/90 campaign when club legend Tony Fitzpatrick was in the dugout.

Jim Goodwin admits he feels huge sympathy for his old confidant Neil Lennon.Goodwin’s rampant St Mirren side piled the misery on the under-siege Celtic boss when they plundered three points from Parkhead for the first time in 31 years just 10 days ago.And the Irishman is hell-bent on doubling the agony with a repeat show when they square off in Paisley tomorrow night.Goodwin is fully aware Lennon still has a team packed with “millions and millions of pounds worth of talent”.But he insists his side don’t fear the Hoops any more.However, after a season in which he too has felt intense strain after a run of six straight defeats amid a covid storm in his camp, Goodwin says he has sympathy for Lennon who is at melting point in the Parkhead

Sign up to the weekly West Lothian Courier newsletter for the latest West Lothian news and sport.On-form St Mirren eased to a 2-0 win against managerless Kilmarnock to ensure they kept hold of sixth spot in the Premiership.The Buddies were looking to make it three wins from their last four matches after a disappointing midweek loss to Hibs.They were on top in the first half without threatening the visitors goal too often, with Jamie McGrath and Kyle McAllister both trying their luck from distance.Jim Goodwin's side finally made the breakthrough before the break as McAllister, who impressed throughout, bulleted home a header from a pinpoint Ilkay Durmus cross.The game was punctuated by some seriously questionable refereeing, with Goodwin

Jim Goodwin and chief executive Tony Fitzpatrick are targeting a top six finish, Obika has his sights set on the continent. A fourth-place finish this campaign would secure a qualifying spot in the planned new UEFA Europa Conference League, with the winners of this season’s Scottish Cup also set to bag a place in the Europa League qualifying play-off round.

Jim Goodwin isn’t a man who scares easily.The battling defender’s career was typified by his full-blooded challenges, with the bold Irishman never one to shirk a tackle or back out of a header.But one thing which really does give the Saints manager the heebie-jeebies is the thought of not working in football full-time again.Having moved from St Mirren to part-time Alloa back in June 2016, the 39-year-old tried his hand at several different jobs to make ends meet until he could return to making a living from the sport he’s so far dedicated his life to.While he enjoyed them to varying degrees, the one thing it’s taught the Buddies boss the most is he never wants to flog chocolate or sit behind a desk ever again.“I’ve never actually officially

Scottish Cup should be scrapped to avoid fixture chaos.
