TPAFKA Jersey 2

Immediately let them right back into the game as soon as we scored.

Hibs TV commentators making John Hartson sound cool calm and collected.

Out of jail there 👍

Has Gogic got a bet on Hibs tonight?

Baccus and Olusanya required second half. Only real bright light so far for us has been Tanser who has been his usual brilliant self. The others must do better.

Aye but at least it’s oor pish.

Anyone else only getting Hibs TV on their IPTV. Commentators are gettin on ma tits.

Ffs

My bad.

I know. And the attendance is listed as something like 11000. My arse. 🤣🤣 And that was at a time when the stadium held at least 27000.

Oooft. What an occasion for your first night game. Atmosphere was electric that night.

Ha ha. I was on that same bus!! Think this was my first unsupervised away game. http://www.stmirrenprogrammes.co.uk/StMirren/STM_Match_Details.php?Season=1977&GameID=197710050

Funnily enough the game I posted was probably my first time properly in the Northbank too. The previous games I’d been to were with my 2 uncles and although we were in the North terracing we were much further over towards the East terrace. First couple of games I sat on the wall I think. But that Dumbarton game was my first time in the midst of it. Loved it, especially as it was a night game and the atmosphere was always that little bit better.

Yeah it was only a week or so after the big cup win against Dundee Utd which we’d followed up with a home win against Dundee.

I assume the family stand takes a big hit in numbers for midweek games with weans not being allowed to evening games. Out of curiosity can everyone remember the first evening game they attended by themselves or with mates? This was my first….. http://www.stmirrenprogrammes.co.uk/StMirren/STM_Match_Details.php?Season=1976&GameID=197702070 I was 10 years old. Seems a bit mental now that parents would let their kids do such things at such a young age. I certainly wouldn’t have let my kids do that. That said I do believe we were a lot smarter/savvy as kids back in those days.

Still loads available if the dot counter thing is anything to go by.

Aye but you look dodgy as f**k W6er. 🤣 In all seriousness my “doing f**k all” was more directed at the sectarian singing than the flares. At the St. Johnstone game last Saturday some of the young lads in front of me in the queue were getting searched.

The thing that shocks me most about this whole episode is that this f**king thread is still alive!!

What is this “robust practice by the SPFL and SFA” they speak of? Is robust practice code for doing f**k all?

Nah, the Paisley public can get too much of a good thing. 🤣

Ha Ha. I have a similar story. Me an my Bro in law were sat in the Wee Howff pre match and got talking to a lad from Cumbria. He heard me mention Jersey and said that he worked out here for years. We asked him what he was doing in Paisley and he said that every so often he picks a Scottish ground to go to and this was his first visit to St. Mirren Park. He joined us at our table and we were blethering away when another guy with an antipodean accent came up to us to ask us how long the walk was to the stadium. This was only about 2.15 so we told him not to panic and take a pew with us. Turns out he was a Kiwi guy (lives in Suffolk) who goes to watch teams with NZ internationals and this was his first trip to see St. Mirren/Greive. By this time, Portmahomack Saint has joined us in the pub, but he was driving so was on the alcohol free stuff. Being the gentleman that he is, he gave us all a lift to the stadium, but not only that, he gave the boy from Cumbria (who hadn’t bought a match ticket yet) a spare he had on the day. The Kiwi guy already had a ticket. Post match he gave them both a lift back to the wee Howff. My bro in law and I met them back in there and had a few scoops. The Cumbria lad had to shoot off about 6.30 to catch his train home, but the Kiwi guy was going up Ashton Lane to meet his son to watch the Rugby World Cup Final. I had to head back up to the west end anyway, so I went with him and watched the first half with him and his boy. Two perfect gentlemen to meet on a random wee day at the fitba. I hope they enjoyed their day out and left with good memories of Paisley/St. Mirren.

Sorry, I meant an actual bog. 😄

I don’t think we could ever get to a point where they got none, but I do wish our ground was designed in such a way where we could give them a small section of 300/400. Maybe that’s one of the best reasons for filling in our corners. Make sure one is sealed off with its own entrance, a bog and a pie shop. Job done 😄

Ach well. Some good performances. Thought Taylor was outstanding and what about Hemming. Brilliant. Tanser good again too. What is important now is that we go on and beat Hibs next week.

Jeezo. Anyone else’s IPTV commentary absolutely shite sound quality?
