Eaglesham saint Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Right let's get on to Dave Bowman and others now, actually I forgot about the present Utd teamWhat about. The Edge as they call him. Thats a player who like Flood gets away with murder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munoz Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Disliked Bowman and Davie Dodds from that era . Bowman was a dirty so and so . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isle Of Bute Saint Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 With a full squad I feel we can put up a serious challenge as champions. We don't have a full squad yet however I see this as a huge game. A bench mark , a marker of our intention so let's make plenty noise and bring every one you can to the game.

St.Ricky Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) Of the two Dundee teams, I have a soft spot for United and watched them for a couple of seasons in the late 60s. (sorry Eaglesham ). Edged us out in the Challenge Cup Final and literally barged us out of a draw at least last time we met. A little revenge would be sweet by reversing these losses.

COYS My favourite Saints victory over United was the 87 Cup Final. (I suspect most Saints fans will agree). United were on paper the clear favourites, and had some really good players at the time, BUT what a team performance by us. The extra time made me late for a date.. but it was well worth it. The atmosphere was truly thrilling! We are no where near full strength yet and we don't know if Gary Mac will be fit, and if we are appealing Irvine's red card ; but home advantage, guys like Buchanan fighting for a start again, etc. and it could certainly go our way. Be positive, shoot on sight, shut them down, score the first goal (and all the others in the opposition goal), and keep their scorers at bay (Also keeping 11 of our team on the park might be wise too).. We can win this coming weekend and be level on points with the favourites for winning this league! Hunger, desire and committed teamwork, with a doze of skills and oodles of effort is what wins leagues. Jack tell these boys to go on become champions!!!

DougJamie Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Well have been surprised 3 times, I didn't think we would beat Falkirk, lose to Morton and I thought we would draw to Livi So with my record in mind.. Saints 0 Utd 5................... In the Bank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just a tense, fingernail biting wreck for the full 120 minutes. And because there was next to no entertainment on show there was no relief from this torture. My favourite game against United is a bit of a random one. Late 70s. Maybe our second season up. We scored early. Iain Munro leathered one from long range and it came back off the post only for Jimmy Bone to tuck it away. We held the lead for most of the match until wee Luggy equalised out of nothing. I was devastated for all of about 60 seconds. Frank McGarvey went on a wobbly legs run down the right wing. He hit over a cross come shot that came back of the bar this time and Bobby Torrance was on hand to nod it in. I'd have been about 11 or 12 at the time and remember going absolutely nuts. From gutted to delirious in no time. Not sure why that game sticks out in my mind so much. Maybe it's because having beaten them so convincingly in the Cup in 77, when we actually got promoted I'm sure we had pretty slim pickings against them to begin with. so maybe I was just so glad that we'd actually beaten them. That and the fact that they were always considered a great scalp back in those days. So my favourite game is a largely meaningless league game from the late 70s that for no apparent reason sticks in my mind. Funny old game.

pozbaird Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 I don't mind any of the old school Arabs from the days of Sturrock, Narey, Malpas... whoever. Loved pumping them in the cup final. Loved pumping them in the Adidas Sambas on ice game, and loved pumping them 4-1 in the Archie MacPherson 'oooohh that's a honey of a goal!' game. Heh, heh.

Eaglesham saint Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 I'm afraid my history of supporting Saints only goes back to Johnny and I watching us destroy Utd 4-1 Utd had a good side then ,boy wonder Ryan Gould et al Johnny thought this is great ,is it like this every week. Alas it was a steep downward spiral ,but now we don't watch through our fingers Onwards and upwards COYS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Lothian Saint Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Missed the Livi game due to work commitments but coming through to Paisley for this one. I nicked online booked two Train tickets and thought just to be on the safe side I'll order tickets for the match online too just in case a massive support arrives at the ground before I leave the pub and I can't get a ticket on the day. Get as far as Buy tickets select seats and nothing appears. I've read about you guys moaning about the ticket website in the past and normally I don't have any bother getting tickets online but today I'm joining you in decrying the inept product that interstadia provide. I suppose if it's good enough for Morton That's enough said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first problem I've had but its certainly not the first to be mentioned on the forum.

If that happens on every club website that's god knows hows many hours fans can't buy tickets for games and in days where online technology is supposed to make life easy Interstadia are just not up to the task. I bet they do the catering at Cappielaw too. It took longer to get a bovril at Morton and there was no coding or internet access required there. I'd have been quicker ordering a delivery and looks like on Saturday I'll just have to queue for a ticket. Waste of good fecking drinking time.
