    Oldfellow got a reaction from waldorf34 in St Mirren v Hibernian SPFL Premiership 8/11/23   
    It felt really strange.  Car park lights were out when we arrived. There was no music as the system  was knackered and the crowd were very quiet.  The players warming up and back in the dressing room may well have been affected by the lack of noise  which  might normally get them geed up.  It's not as daft as it sounds

    That may well happen but we can't hold on to every player just in case. We'd have a squad of hundreds and huge debt !!!
    The value of a good manager is not just deciding who to bring in but who to let go. He is in a better position than you or I to make an informed decision and minimise the risk

    My brain isn't what it used to be. I've got Caldwell,Reilly, Kirkpatrick and McShane. Who was the fifth?

    I feel much happier and more comfortable with the old firm only having one stand. I think it may also have helped the team performance. Clearly the attendances have been good compared to previous seasons but I do have one question. How does the income compare with previous seasons playing the OF? I don't know how many attending are paying the full whack and how many are freebies or concessions. In short are we losing income even though the attendances are good? It may well be the case that it's worthwhile even if we lose some income . I'd just like to know and will ask the question at the AGM.

    Can't understand why the game is not being played on Wednesday 19th October when both sides are free. Instead we get a date that is liable to be inconvenient for a number of people and with a greater chance of weather postponement.

    Tasteless and juvenile. I'm not a royalist but she was someone's mum and a fellow human being. Yes she had a life of privelage but her life must have been like living in jail. I certainly wouldn't have swapped places with her

    Agreed. There was  ,in my view, no logical reason to postpone last weekends games . Given that the games  actually were postponed it would be illogical for next weekends games to go ahead much as I want them to. No games on the day of the funeral would have been perfectly respectful and adequate . SFA and SPFL have screwed up and they probably know it.

    On reflection the Hearts game on Sunday probably couldn't have gone ahead due to policing and other logistical difficulties in Edinburgh. There was nothing to stop the Saturday games though.

    Personally, I would have gone ahead with the football programme without interruption bar, perhaps on the day of the funeral itself. As has been mentioned, other sports did function more or less as normal. Having said that I find it strange that we will go for a resumption of the matches before the funeral having already paused them. As it turns out, this is one match that I can’t attend as we have a family event the same day. It wasn’t the same day until the game was changed to the Sunday! @W6er has a point though that we will be involved in a TV game with a high probability of  protest by Celtic fans ( not all of them) exacerbated perhaps by our decision to restrict them to one stand.
