  1. Black and white - how to avoid relegation

    in Other Football

    Posted

    Grimsby Town have just stayed safe again this year, beating Swindon last Saturday.

    This is an interesting article (from theGrimsby Chairman) on how Grimsby approached the mountain that needed climbed… in as rational a way as possible.

    I’m sure SR approaches the St Mirren task in much the same way.

    Earlier this afternoon, when I wafted in, it was ALL the arse from the East.

    The forum is shite.

    And if that were a national anthem of Scotland I'm certain it would goad a reaction from our southern brethren, but it's not, so your point is invalid.

    Er…

    I made no point.

    Merely noted an ironic historical reality.

    National anthems are a load of shite. Why is it that we have to endure them before football or rugby internationals ? Most anthems are pathetic dirges harking back to historical battles or wars that we don't need to be reminded of - exactly the same shite that we hate (but have to listen to) when Rangers come to Paisley. 

    Completely unnecessary, a waste of time, and an opportunity for cretins in the crowd to shame their own nation.

    Get them to feck !!

    Just my opinion, of course.  :)

    I share your opinion.  👍

    And… as for those of a (Scot’s) nationalist disposition…

    … it should be noted the the daft Princes’ followers centuries ago, sang the same song with minor amendments, so that…

     

    …Jacobite beliefs were demonstrated in an alternative verse used during the same period:[45]

    God bless the prince, I pray,
    God bless the prince, I pray,
    Charlie I mean;
    That Scotland we may see
    Freed from vile Presbyt'ry,
    Both George and his Feckie,
    Ever so, Amen.

     

    i”m sure this helps.  🤓

    That was a sore one - 

    Also recall opening game of 1992/93 season in 1st Division after our relegation 

    Starks Park against Raith and we were 3-0 down inside 40 mins  

    Turned to my mates and stupidly said " at least the 2nd half can't get any worse " 

    Little did I know as we capitulated 7-0 😪😪😪

    I’d come up from London especially to go to that match with a cousin.

    Despite it being pleasant summery weather, it was a long dreich road back to Paisley… and a sullen southern journey on the Sunday.  😞

    So you're all still on the fence then?

    I’ve had a look at the video...  Some of them are on one side of the fence, some on the other.

     

    whilst… aye…. others are still on it.

     

    i think VAR is shite - me, myself, I.

    Quite good.    😊

    Not relaxed yet, though…

    I am a St Mirren supporter.  I never got carried away.    Sigh….  😞

    Going into Europe with a squad based on this one would do more harm than good 

    so maybe a blessing in a very ugly disguise today 

    Aye. I agree.

    Yep , Europe , with the early start and qualifying marathon, is the last thing we need. I'm happy to take the dosh for a top six place but couldn't give a hoot about Europe , not at this stage anyway !

    Billy’s is also dead right.   Sadly.

    Mayo is currently suspended for our game at Killie 

    They have appealed the red card so he may play

    Don’t think they have a hope of winning that appeal . 

    From about 52 minutes in the Sportscene report…

    Sounds tough to deny….  😀

    I came late to their show.  Loved what I found - simple, but interesting food.  Glad I did tune in.

    Got a great black pudding recipe out of them, as well as a sense of decent people.

    Dave looked very fragile in the Bute episode.  It was close to his time to go.

     

    Good guy.  :(

     

    Amended for the Freudian (?) slip.
