Funnily enough I know a couple of Coleraine supporters.

The Old Firm, Hearts or Hibs?! I mean, if we're going to win it we need to beat these kind of clubs, but personally I fancy an away day at a local ground we don't usually visit. Worst of all is a tough tie to a less prestigious Premiership side. Imagine drawing Livingstone or Ross County...and then going out after an insipid performance, like the recent one against Dundee.

I agree. It'd be amazing except for the fact the away end at Cappielow doesn't have a roof. Can you imagine a wet, cold January day?

I forgot Ayr, actually! That's a good shout, Shull. I wouldn't fancy Kilmarnock, as they're playing well and full of confidence and it'd essentially be like playing a Premiership side. Plus we have played them so many times during the last few seasons, so there would be no novelty aspect.

With the draw being done two weeks today, who would you want? Obviously until the third round ties are played it's uncertain who will be in the hat, however I would like the following away from home (ranked in order of preference): 1. Greenock Morton 2. Partick Thistle 3. Queen's Park 4. Airdrieonians 5. Albion Rovers 6. Clyde 7. Stirling Albion 8. Falkirk Away games are more fun & we make more noise. Plus we get half the gate money. 🙂 For obvious reasons I would be looking to avoid any Premiership side, Inverness CT or Peterhead. @faraway saint will presumably be hoping we're drawn away to Arbroath. I'm guessing @shull would fancy some obscure club like Gala Fairydean Rovers.

That's fair enough. It's annoying that we don't get to vote on a second or third kit, though.

Jim Goddwin's managerial longevity with Saint Mirren is no thanks to many of the posters on here, who've called for his head on numerous occasions...

Thanks, that makes sense, and means I was partially correct, then. 😊 The players are introduced over the tanoy system. Not sure what 'NFL style introductions' are, but anything American tends to be off-putting.

Maybe it comes down to production costs, or something like that? For example, the club will earn x% profit, and perhaps it's so much cheaper to produce the kits with a plain back, it's simply not considered worthwhile entertaining the alternative? With names and squad numbers, perhaps it's felt too cluttered? The names, sponsors and squad numbers will themselves be a contrast. I appreciate some on here will hark back to simpler times before names and sponsors were a reality.

Am I missing something? Socks aside strips 1 & 3 are identical, aren't they?

Has anyone been watching this? I have been rooting for the wee lad since I saw the footage captured on the day the incidents took place. Aye, the notion that a 17 year old would go out with an assault rifle to defend property is a bit strange and one could possibly describe him as a 'vigilante', but when the police don't do their job then society depends upon vigilantes to do it for them. From what I have seen the shootings were justified and I think a jury has to acquit him.

I actually forgot to vote, as I had to reset my password, but fortunately your kind intervention reminded me.

I will be voting for number 1.

Cringe! I mean you'd think someone would have noticed... 🤦‍♂️

I think you're right!

Except I live in Shettleston! 🤣

Have you been at the bevvy! 😉 If I noticed that, then I imagine John might offer it as a defence. 😂

Well I don't think it violates the quoted Rule 77. 😊

I shall not be sitting with the plebeians tomorrow! I have elected to pay the extra £2 for a padded seat. Only @faraway saint will be watching more comfortably, on his sofa. Anyway, with Dundee losing 5-0 at home in midweek, I see one of two scenarios - they will either be battling for everything in a desperate attempt to redeem themselves and restore a bit of pride, or they will be low on confidence and get scudded again. Let's home it's the latter. 😇 🏁

He wisnae a club official at the time. 😊

It's not a 'few quid' though! It's approximately £90,000 over three games. Not sure how you'd fill the Family Stand. If you gave away tickets to schools, you'd end up encouraging kids to support the Old Firm.

I'm praying he's okay. It happened right in front of me, and he was clearly in a lot of pain.

I noticed them all today, too, Shull.

My response to the original question: no.
