The seating issue is an argument which has pro's and Cons. I won't get into that BUT
Some of the language and attitudes towards fellow football fans however is pretty disgraceful. No wonder football fans get treated like second class citizens. Anyone who wasn't actually at the game and reads this forum would think the Saints fans had been subjected to continuous missile bombardment from all sections of the Rangers Support and had to fight for their lives to get into and out of the ground without being maimed, murdered, and stabbed by hordes of Rampaging, Rioting Rangers Fans.
As someone who was at the game. My observations were as follows.
Yes, In traditional football fan, logic. One or two A-holes on both sides thought the netting on the seats between them provided some sort of force field that made them invincible. As at every ground I have ever visited a few on both sides couldn't stop themselves indulging in some animated banter and it seemed like a couple of people had issues with individuals on the other side of the netting. This was reciprocated both ways. Most of the Rangers Fans in the ground simply supported their team and in the main they did it well. Sure there was the odd reference to outdated traditions but FFS it was Ibrox and that's what they do. It's not right. It's not big or clever but in the main if you didn't bother them they didn't bother you but those boys and girls created at atmosphere.
Missiles- I saw a young apprentice - Rangers fan throw an apple. I'm not doubting the odd plastic bottle may have been launched but to be honest the only reason I saw the apple was because I was engrossed by the exchange between the young Saints fans and the young Rangers fans who felt safe enough behind their netted barriers to shout the sort of abuse at each other which would merit a smack in the mouth if it happened in the real world. There are fans in every team like this and to Brandish all Rangers and Celtic fans as animals is an insult to all football fans.
On the way to Ibrox, I met lots of decent Rangers fans who gave me tips and advice on how to get there. They were happy to talk football and nothing but helpful. Wearing St Mirren Tops four of us went for a drink in the Louden. Not sure if it's normal for away fans to step in to the bears den but everyone inside was courteous and we had a bit of banter the way we would in any bar near an away ground. The strangest part was despite it being packed to the rafters it was one of the quickest pubs to get served in.
In and around the stadium it was busy but no one made an issue because we were away fans. No intimidation, no animosity just fellow football fans going to support their team.
After the game.No problems. Walked back to the town centre. No one gave a toss about our St Mirren Tops and everyone was friendly.
We ended up drinking with Rangers Fans in the city Centre before dumping them for a couple of birds from a German Rock Group( No Kidding)
All in all a good day out. Shame about the result.
Read this morning Saints fans had been bottled, subjected to missile attacks and Rangers Fans had to be hunted down, banned from football and exterminated.
99.999% of football fans are good guys. No matter what team they support The 0.001% who are A-Holes are Just A-holes. No matter what team they support.
Get things into perspective. Please......
Have a read at this im sure they dont mind us really.
They are bitter to the core.

The team were immense tonight kept going and battled for the win.
How many players did united get booked for diving tonight the shower of shite cheats.
Well done saints lets keep marching on.

Hopefully that little runt Paul McMullan's next shite is a hedgehog.
That little cheat could have cost us had he managed to con the ref.
Got to keep on going COYS

Simple and effective display by Monaco fans this evening in the background.
-
Good move that's another one out the door and wasn't surprised to see him go, in all honestly never felt confident going into a game knowing this guy was in goals.

Days like today are what its all about
The team were brilliant from start to finish, the fans were in full voice and the dundee fan who I walked past pre match saying to his son he thought the score would be four one to Dundee (nae luck)
Superb Saints

To be fair on the stadium its about 1000 times better than that shitehole down the road (cappielow).

Should be an army of fans at the training ground on monday hounding this shower of dogs who played today.
Complete and utter disgrace.

Here's a thought do you think Kyle Hutton actually gives a toss about what we think?
-
I would rather focus my attentions and backing towards the players we have in the team at present.
In my opinion I don't see a future for Hutton especially if we are linked to Storie of Aberdeen.
In fairness at the start of the season it was probably viewed as an average signing for a guy who should be competent at this level but in reality his displays did him no favours (the dunfermline game) effectively handed them 3 points.

Hutton
he must have had an impact on Saturday as I noticed Airdrie got leathered 5 nil by Stenny at home.
-
Always enjoyable beating a team that features Skacel and a couple of former morton fannies

Isma and his contribution during that spell led to us all going on the drink for a few days

What a piece of vermin Miller is.
And always has been.
Cheating and conning his fellow Pros for years.
Now this atrocity.
Agreed Miller and Falkirk in general are a sly lot who have cheating down to a fine art.
-
Hutton has done nothing since arriving well expect from gift dunfermline 3 points with a back pass! in his interview when he signed he talked about pushing on this season and perhaps adding goals to his game.
In reality he has been an awful signing, the only hope is that if he does appear again he comes back with an attitude of wishing point to prove a point and turns things around (however I doubt very much that will happen).
-
Worth a try I guess and to be fair who knows what might come of it, lets be honest we havent exactly signed a team of world beaters through the conventional method this season!!!!!!!!

This lunatic idea that dropping down a division was aired when we were in the top league. An absolute disaster of an idea on every count as we're in a shit position as it stands. Dropping down again would see us disappear from any sort of competitive standard for Years to come. No thanks, staying up is a must.
Spot on it is sheer lunacy to accept that dropping down a division will suddenly turn us into title winners, we might end up struggling in that league too!
We have to try and do all that we can between now and the end of the season to ensure that we stay up and then look to build.

To be fair the sight and sound of 1800 muppets behind the goal giving a rendition of god save the queen was the biggest toe curler of the whole afternoon!
