Will you be coming tomorrow, for what is surely the biggest game of the season and a near sell out?

House Insurance
total waste of hard earned cash just like your saints bet.. very rarely every happens, I've saved a fortune on insurance cover over the last 40 years until this happened
Now me and the wife are living rent free saving even more cash
🤣 I needed a good laugh today!

Aye, that's almost the same as having your usual lack of belief in the team.
When, exactly, did you place this "insurance" bet?
Yesterday. I think someone mentioned it on the P&B thread.

That's the spirit.
With the utmost respect I expect you to lose.
I want to lose this bet.
I will be absolutely devastated if we finish 7th. We would have nothing to play for and our season would be over.
I have an insurance policy in case my house burns down, but it doesn't mean I want it to burn down.
If I 'win' the bet, the money will be put towards my next season ticket.

People quoting heavily odds on prices on us making the top 6.
Is there such a bet as us not making the top 6 and if so, anyone know what the price is?

Maybe 700-ish home tickets are still available for Saturday and to avoid a match day rush I think the club should consider a cut-price offer for registered ticket site users for e-tickets only that are bought before Saturday. It will be bad enough with people who already purchased tickets rocking up to the kiosk at 2' o' clock
That incentivises leaving it late to buy tickets in the future, as folk might expect a similar discount. It's also unfair on those who've already paid full price for their tickets.
The club should just advise folk to get there early. If people miss the game because they turn up late, then that's their own doing.
I agree with others who said that we need a point against Hearts. We cannot rely on other results. A point should be enough, though goal difference is tight with Hibs. We might have to park the bus at Parkhead.

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 love them! Also there's something magical about a rousing rendition of Flower of Scotland before the game. I also like to hear other nations' anthems.

Sorted, best to stick to the facts when pointing the finger.
I didn't actually know who was responsible, so I generalised and didn't point the finger at anybody!

Lol. easily done. I thought you could edit your post.
I believe we were able to edit posts we'd created at one time, but then it was stopped as some posters were abusing it...

There's quite a few paydays between now and 6th August 2024, lol. Didn't even know next seasons fixture list had been created.
Damn! That will teach me to create threads late at night...and no, I hadn't been drinking. I can't edit the title, either. I will report it and see if @div will kindly do it for me.

Just under two weeks to go to this fixture. Hearts have already sold out their allocation:
https://www.heartsfc.co.uk/blogs/news/ticket-information-st-mirren-a
We've also shifted a lot of tickets for this game, with two sections of the Main Stand already sold out:
I expect there will be quite a few folk waiting until pay day to get theirs and therefore I think this might well sell out days before the game. If you know folk who want to go, best encourage them to get their tickets sooner rather than later!

I believe Aberdeen are still in contention, mathematically at least. However, from our perspective we only have to worry about Hibs and Dundee catching us.
St. Mirren - Motherwell (a), Hearts (h) & Celtic (a)
Hibs - Rangers (a), St. Johnstone (h), Motherwell (a)
Dundee - St. Johnstone (a), Motherwell (h), Rangers (h), Aberdeen (a)
If we beat Motherwell and Hibs lose at Ibrox, that's it - done!
We really need to take a massive support to Fir Park! It could really be a top-six celebration.

Unfortunately, I don't think there will be any fixtures that weekend, if it's the Cup semis.

Would Gary Neville get away with this nowadays..................
Gary Neville on playing against Liverpool:"I used to love playing at Anfield, 90 minutes worth of insults about my appearance, mainly from blokes who looked like extras off Planet of the Apes. I remember one game, a little chubby lad shouted "Oi Gary, my Dad says you're a w*nker!" | turned round and said "Yeah? I've got 8 Premier League medals, what have you got besides diabetes? You fat little tw*t!"He was in floods of tears, that's what the rivalry is all about.He was in floods of tears?! 😂
I think Neville imagined that.
The fact is people should behave themselves, but if they don't that should not be a matter for the police. Being verbally abusive to someone should never be a matter for the authorities, regardless of what is said, unless it is threatening, IMHO. That's pretty much how it was until the 1980s and it's how it is in the US.

I couldn't catch up with the results, so watched Sportscene without knowing the score and celebrated the goals almost like I would have done at the game. Naturally, I was very disappointed by the end.
These things happen. The other week we stole an unlikely win. This week we threw away a commanding position. That's football.
The next game is MASSIVE, though!
Killie are away to Hearts and Hibs away to Rangers! Both are likely to drop points. If we win at Motherwell, there's a great chance we will take back fourth spot.

Like someone mentioned above absolutely love beating them I took video of celebration after the equaliser and kept it running when we broke up the park as we scored again fell down the stairs dropped the phone smashed my leg off the seats but it was so worth it.
I'd love to see the footage!
Absolutely amazing finish to a game. Truly breathtaking. I was delirious.

Also wonder why he hasn't gone to see the blue bigots, although that might expose him to sectarian chanting that our lot don't want to deal with.
I thought about that and came up with a few theories:
1) He doesn't want to be seen to be just interested in the big clubs.
2) It's nearer the airport.
3) He's a Catholic, even just culturally, and cannot abide the idea of going to Ibrox.
4) He's got a soft spot for one of the clubs.
Yours is one I hadn't considered, but is a definitely a possibility, too.

County away midweek in winter was always going to be a tough fixture. I'd have taken a draw before the game, given both Dundee and Killie play the Old Firm tomorrow night. We cannae take anything for granted, but if the uglies win then it's a point gained.
We should have had a penalty, too!
Hopefully there will be a massive turnout on Saturday and we take three points off Aberdeen.

Right lads…..next 3 games. St. Johnstone, RossCo and Aberdeen. Absolute skoosh 9 points. Might as well stick them on our tally now
Oh……..
could someone inform one how one boots oneself in the gonads?
By inserting one's arm into said boot! 🥾

I obviously want a Saints win, but a tiny bit of me feels very sorry for David Martindale.

I thought the assist for the second goal went to Tanser. Kwon was subbed off in the 58th minute.
You're probably right. I was absolutely shattered, to be honest. A long day at work followed by a delayed kick off didn't help.

Didnt see a thread so excuse if one is running outside the Sinbin Dicktionaries...
Feel good about this one...we play like we have last 2 games...they play like they have last 3 games.. 2 nil the Buddies
Your optimism isn't shared by the majority of fans, unfortunately, going by ticket sales.
It's rubbish that we have to lose Kwon now, as he looked very good the other night. Was it not his pass that put Olusanya through on goal?

Dundee boss Tony Docherty: "It doesn't sit well with me. It was a difficult game, the pitch was poor and really difficult to play on. We tried to pass it, but it was a long-ball, second-ball game. That's their style of play.
"We've got a handball in the 87th minute from a shot that is going in, or hitting the post at least. We don't get that decision, they don't go over to VAR. I'm perplexed, I'm asking questions, because I'm trying to protect our football club."
Dundee Manager topping the ‘sour grapes’ table
How can he say the pitch was poor? It looked fine from where I was sitting! 😮
