East Lothian Saint

Memories on here are pretty short. I too have been at every game this season and in the early appearances Rogers was far from convincing. Every time he got the ball we wondered what would happen next. No one was happy at the howlers he gave away. Remember the spartans game he didn't exactly fill us full of confidence with that excuse for a clearance when Spartans scored the second. Everyone was screaming for Sammy then and most of us felt safer with him in goals. Roll on a couple of weeks and everyone is screaming for blood. "Stubbs must go, Sammy must go. Gary Mac is the messiah. Oh Gavin why did you leave us. If only Jack Ross was still sporting those fetching cardigans at the SDA we'd all be fine." Fecking man up guys and Gals. It's the big league we're in now. JR has gone. Gary Mack is injured, Gavin Fecked off and we've lost to the two teams who will finish second and third in the league. While we're learning how to survive in this league there will be a few more drubbing's I'm sure. Let's judge Stubbs and the players by what they do against the Dundee's. Livingstons etc and maybe next season we can raise our expectations. If we perform shit on Saturday. I might start knicker wetting but just calm down folks. It's too early to lose the plot. Now where's my clean knickers.

The morning after the match before. Still in Aberdeen getting ready to head home. Post match analysis. Feck you lot have taken care of that. Quote of the weekend was yesterday in the Pittodrie Bar when an Aberdeen fan announced. "It's nice to see someone from Paisley who supports St Mirren". It's not all ways easy and as we know there are highs and lows. Yesterday was definitely a low but next week.... Well ..... We can only hope Alfie Jones looked decent.... We're on our way...

Positive thought anyone. Alfie Jones looks ok, so far..

Oh dear. Looks like a humping. Lots of buds left already or else it was a max exodus for a pee. Those left still in good voice but FFS saints give us some hope.

Horrible smirry rain that goes right through you in NB. Fecking soaked in my summer football kit. Looking forward to the wonderful weather in Aberdeen and the prospect of a dry day. Then again I might just have one pint. Ha! Ha! [emoji482] Quarter finals here we come.

All booked up for tomorrow. Looking forward to another wee Day/night in Aberdeen. Not a lot of interest on this thread but I'm sure the usual suspects will all be there tomorrow. We'll give you a wave in Hospitality Faraway. Wonder if we'll have another wonder song tomorrow. "Cammy, Cammy" was a hoot last time. No Stelios to make mistakes tomorrow and (Ha! Ha!) "He's gonna stop you scoring goals" hopefully Bairdy will have his act together. It won't be the end of the world if we lose this one but hopefully we will play well, sneak a result if we can, but more importantly set out our stall for next week. All these big games against top teams but the must win ones are against our fellow minnows. It's a funny old league. So let's all enjoy tomorrow for what it is and save all our worries for next week. No pressure It's in the bag. In Stubbsy we trust. See You tomorrow.

Now up in GlasgowA banner caused woeWhen being displayed at a local game It Was erected and was perfectedat Ruining Rangers wakka doo display

The Old firm have been indulging in Major "Banner wars" recently and it has been fairly big news not only on Social Media but on National Media too. The "You're not Rangers anymore banner" that was transported half way across Europe but was thwarted at the last minute when Celtic's intelligence network broke down and their plans were leaked made big news. The bears went into action and intercepted the banner somewhere in deepest darkest Croatia. This was a major slap in the face (possibly quite literally) for the Celtic propaganda machine. The story was covered on Radio and picked up by most of the main papers. The intelligence networks of both sets of fans were analysed and it was seen as overwhelming strategic victory for the Rangers Fans. Well done W7. The word Sh**e which offended so many on here is in the Oxford Dictionary and has many meanings including "Something worthless, rubbish, nonsense, eg this book is shit’ . This is the description a lot of the PC trolls on here have been using to describe Rangers. It can also mean an Unpleasant experience or treatment. ‘I went through a lot of shit last year’ Is that not how a lot of the PC trolls described their visits to Glasgow when they went to Old Firm Games. This was not about profanities. W7 succinctly put across the view of the B+W army politically correct troll in a well planned operation that went under the Radar of the very well connected Union Bears intelligence service gaining massive Kudos from those in the "game" and displaying a spectacular piece of oneupmanship on the so called big boys of Scottish football. It was so successful the Scotsman got the scoop. They had no interest in the sh** that some folk have become obsessed with. They reported the story as a a failure in the Rangers intelligence network and a victory for the little guy. They knew it wasn't profanity for the sake of profanity. It was a measured response to on going intelligence and they recognised the real news story. Well done W7. Think there may be repercussions at the SDA when they visit. Hope you guys are up to the challenge.

Not sure if you were there. Maybe you had an awful experience. Maybe just the idea that Rangers and Celtic fans can be like any other fan threw you. Maybe the idea that other fans can be like Rangers and Celtic tipped you over the edge. I'm not doubting for a second there are Bigoted Morons out there. One or two Morons on here too . Worst post in b&w army history. Do you get a prize for that

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......

What about Robert Torrance 1978. No one expected that but we won at Ibrox as the North Bank sang "we don't care if the Derry Come". They did and we ran. But we got two points as you did in those days. So no negative vibes it's 3 points today and we're on our way. Football is a funny old game

They won't be able to handle the pressure of 'win and they go above Celtic.' We shall be victorious, not them We will go home Happy and Glorious, Not them I'm off for the train COYS Nasty nic to score at least once and Danny Mullen gets another Brace.

164 mile round trip and I have a season ticket. I go just about every week. I'm fortunate at present that I have both the time and the resources to go to the games. There are many things you can focus your life around and for the last 40 years I focused my life around family and work. I grew up with the Saints and was a die hard from 1974 till 1987. Thereafter I moved away from Paisley to focus on other things and I rarely attended a game until SMISA put out the call. And do you know what........... I found I had missed it big time. I'll make a wild guess, "the what a waste" was said with tongue in cheek There are worse things to focus on than football. The game can be Crap, the team can be mince, you can get pumped 10-0 but you can't take away the day out. You can't take away the experience. Ok, I like a sherbet or two and a wee sing song. I like camaraderie, being part of something and meeting people. Football is the perfect way to unwind. I'm ready to head for Glasgow, meet my buds and get a few down my neck before travelling to Castle Grey Skull to join the adventure. Win, lose or even get pumped I'll be singing my heart out and enjoying the day. Chances are it'll be just like the legendary 600 who sang their way into the valley of death when we got pumped at Pittodrie last season but you know what I fancy our chances today. I'll come home tonight and focus on mundane stuff like the back fence needs restored, the wife wants a holiday, the waynes want everything and every one of them is sitting on a computer, ipad or phone or watching a box set and I'll think , 'What a waste......' Thank feck I've got Aberdeen to go next week end and don't have to focus on the mundane stuff everyone else does. I plan to live out my last 20 odd years the same way as I did my first 20 odd years "I'll go where ever St Mirren go" I'll see any of you like minded Buds at Castle Grey Skull COYS

Celtic losing 1-0 That could mean Rangers can go above Celtic if they win tomorrow. No way can they handle that pressure. Stevie Gerrard will go into meItdown. It's got to be a Saints win tomorrow.

Just a number 9 on his back must make him worth a few goals tomorrow. Big guy, Pacey, Number 9 and lots of these Come on Nasty Nic make us all happy.

But sometimes causes a penalty Which needs to be saved by Sammy so give Three cheers to Sammy on Penalty save number 24

Forgot about Him. Song makes more sense now!!!!!

I take it you mean Josh Windass and no our drummer boy.

I heard it said that NBM has a bit of pace. Looks like Cammy might have some where to send the ball now when he breaks from the midfield. Hopefully on Sunday Coulibaly, Goldson and the rest of Sevco defence will be saying "What the feck was that" as he flashes past them to slot a few in the back of their net.

Good effort, Bankhouse boys. Thats the kind of stuff I'm Talking about. Great wee Ditty. AHA! I burst into the Voulez Vous, Jackie Baird routine often without realising it. I need to stop singing it in the Co-op. He's gonna stop you scoring goals

Bit of a cop out that one. He gets a mention in a song that has been adapted from Craig Storrie and Rory Loy plus who knows before them. While its a good song which I have hummed and sang the many versions with great vigour over the last few seasons Danny having recently replaced Reilly in line three. It's like a second or third hand song he has been landed with. I assume the Voulez Vous chant does the rounds in different Guises at different grounds throughout the country for different players BUT if it was adapted just for Bairdy then hats off to the North Bank. A lot of people moan on here about Stubbsy this and Stubbsy that or The board aren't doing this or aren't doing that or they just Moan. Well how about "What should the fans be doing?" By all means steal a new chant from somewhere else or even better come up with an original one but let's give Kyle his OWN song not some rehashed Craig Storrie cast off. With all the Musical Talent in the stands someone must be able to offer up something new. Let's Show Kyle he is one of our own and we appreciate his efforts. New Manager, New Team, New League, New Songs and one for Kyle (Its what fans are for!) Let's start a new Song for Kyle Campaign. (HE'S ONE OF OUR OWN)

Just a thought but the new Voulez Vous epic about Jackie Baird, which I think is brilliant, got me thinking. Why does Kyle Magennis not have a song? I did once hear a lone bud, in a bar up in Inverness, warbling something along the lines of He's one of our own he's one of our own He's Kyle Magennis He's one of our own But I don't think I've heard any Kyle Magennis songs on the terracing. Correct me if I'm wrong but WHY? Oh he's no got a song No he's no got a song He's KYLE MCGENNIS why's he no got a song. Anyone care to rise to the challenge.

Well we're back with the big boys. Met two Dundee fans on NB platform also on route to the game. They are not that confident about their season but hopeful today. They've signed two mid field buzz bombs who are lively in the middle of the park (Just found out one of them is our trialist for Sunderland so hopefully more like damp squibs) but they reckon Dundee are no threat up front. So big away support two teams with a lot to prove and the North Bank having to prove we're a premier league support. Oh aye and stubbsy showing us he is the man. COYS we're back. Looking forward to it. This is what Saturdays are for. [emoji482] [emoji482] [emoji482] [emoji460]

Feckin saw the thread and had to check. What IOBS said ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Ok Mullen to score was pushing the boat out but if he had I would have been spot on. JR never humped Dumbarton 6-0 and JR never Qualified for the next round. AS b+w army
