This is going viral, so I intend to watch it later. Over 3 million views. Two folk have sent it to me on WhatsApp, which is highly unusual. I don't know the guy and haven't watched it yet, but put it here to remind myself to do so and, of course share it.

A terrible draw. At least if we played them away we would make a bit of cash. The unfortunate reality is, we're going to go out and make very little.

True. I shouldn't finance him, even indirectly. 👍 Edit: In one of his videos he claims to be "half-Brazilian, half-Scottish".

I'm not sure his accent is contrived. According to his Wikipedia page: So, it appears he's lived in Brazil, England and Scotland. I agree that he's essentially a troll with a camera. As you suggest, it's for hits for his channel. If everyone was perfectly civil it wouldn't generate the views. I only watch it to see the commotion he causes. Find someone with an emotive cause, tell them they're terrorist sympathisers and scumbags and then film their retaliation appears to be his modus operendi. It beats working for a living. 🤔 💡

I agree. We totally dominated possession; it's the first game back after the winter break. We're in the hat and that's all that matters.

Aye, I think he's annoying, too. He has a very simplified view, e.g. all Palestinian supporters are Hamas sympathisers. Then he rather childishly taunts them. I'm unsure whether he genuinely doesn't appreciate that people see Israel's retaliation as a horrendous overreaction which is causing misery and death to the two million who live in Gaza; that such conflicts are not black and white - the 'goodies and the baddies' - like some Disney cartoon. IMHO, he's either a little bit simple; a biased propagandist; or he's simply exploiting people's emotional attachment to a cause in order to generate views. It is strangely compelling, though. Him versus the two idiots who challenge him could be mistaken for a parody. I have to admit to finding it quite interesting viewing.

Watching @ALBIONSAINT's video and it doe get interesting around the 11 minute mark! The vlogger does himself no favours, but he really doesn't need to do much to provoke them. I often think these militant types are simply wanting to vent life's frustrations. Much better off doing that the fitba, IMHO!

You can buy them here: https://www.stmirren.com/awaysupporters.shtml The more the merrier!

Just over 62 hours to go. I'm looking forward to this one! Forecast is for rain all day, though! We have sold a disappointingly low number of tickets. However, it's the Cup and we should win comfortably!

Frustratingly, it doesn't appear to have the ticket office's opening hours on the website! https://www.stmirren.com/all-news/ticket-info-st-mirren-v-queen-of-the-south-3 I can't see them on the club's Twitter feed, either. I know they usually open on week days from 10 am to 12 pm. However, perhaps best to phone them? 0141 840 6130 - sometimes it's difficult to get an answer, though!

Please tell me you registered just to post this!

Just to clarify, I am not a supporter of the SNP. However, I am a supporter of independence. The sooner, the better.

As far as I'm aware, we don't actually know the purpose of the meeting. However, I do not believe a First Minister ought to be chaperoned by a 'UK official'. I do think, with the UK acting as the World's policeman again yesterday, that it's time for Scottish independence.

That's exactly what we need right now - Baccus is away until March (?), Gogic playing in defence and O'Hara hasn't been fully firing all season.

Hi Callum, There are a folk few on here who have posted about their memories on various threads. @shull might be able to help you and is often around at strange hours, too. Unfortunately, he's been sin binned so I'm not sure his PM will be working. Perhaps leave an email address, or post in the Sin Bin to see if he's willing? Alternatively, @Slarti, @antrin, @TPAFKA Jersey 2, @Cookie Monster, @ALBIONSAINT, @HSS and @faraway saint are usually about, too. I would volunteer my services, but I'm working tomorrow and what you really want is one of the Old Timers who will recall Fergie's Furies and the Cup winning team.

I thought you might have been to the dentist, or something! I initially thought you had a lisp, but I have heard you perform the role of quiz master on a train and didn't recall you speaking like that.

I knew the word 'rollercoaster' would be used... If it was me, I would say that we started brightly, but are too inconsistent and have failed to reach our potential. We have really missed Strain! Agree with Thommo, we need a prolific goalscorer. Presumably, with Grieve away, we're looking to bring someone in?

Pure sophistry. He's essentially calling to ban demonstrations against Israel by claiming that all of the marchers are 'tacit Hamas supporters'. He then talks about the death of children, ignoring the fact that the Israelis have killed far more children in Gaza than Hamas have ever done. What is this guy's name, Shull? He's clearly very biased.

One can only speculate as to what the purpose of these tunnels was: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-67938683

I posted the most recent figures I could find, I wasn't trying to be disingenuous! There's no doubt in my mind that Scottish football has been badly run, I don't think anyone can dispute that. Personally, I would like to see something similar to the failed project, SPFL TV. We could show three live games a week. I would happily pay good money for that.

I am aware of that, aye. Do you have more recent figures? Given Rangers got to a European final a couple of years ago, I think our league is much stronger than the Scandinavians'.

Okay. I'll help you. I cannot see a follower of the Republic of Ireland, particularly with that Twitter username, being a Rangers man. You must understand that we get a lot of Old Firm fans sitting in the home stands and it can be quite irritating. I had a group of four Celtic fans sitting in close proximity to me on January 2nd; they were discrete, but I could still see them exchange gleeful smiles after the second goal. If you PM me your mobile we can sort it out. 👍

10 days to go... A friend of mine saw QotS recently and said they are a "terrible side". They did knock Dundee Utd out in the last round, but. However, we should expect to comfortably beat them and progress to the next round.

We get a worse deal from Sky than the Danish, Norwegian and Swedish leagues get. I'm sorry, but you will fail to convince me that we receive a fair price from Sky or that their financing of English football has not been to our detriment.

I think you were quoted as, presumably living in Leeds, you can potentially vet this poster. You could meet him in Leeds with the tickets and perhaps even conduct an informal language analysis test to ensure that he isn't a Weegie trying to obtain tickets in the home end. 😉
