Early 1960's the above photos.
We didn't get any sort of command of the North Bank until the fence was erected in 1977 . Even then we got just over half.
Ahhhh. I assumed that was the mid 80s all white strip. I thought the photies looked a bit grainy for the 80s!
In that case that was well before my time. My first home game against Rangers was the 3-3 game in 77.

North Bank is full of them also , as well as the Love Street End
Hmmmm. I didn’t think their commandeering of the Nortbank started until the late 80s?
That game has to be I’d guess between 84 and 86, meaning just before I moved to Jersey, meaning I’d have been there and I don’t ever remember the NB being full of CBs. Maybe I’ve just banished it from my memory for obvious reasons.

Why bother, a total waste of money IMO.
I know I'm an auld cynic but surely there's not much point in taking our first team squad on any sort of tour when most of them will be offski to pastures new before the end of the month (apparently).
Don’t disagree at all. Was just curious as I hadn’t heard anything one way or another.
Wonder if most teams are staying put too?

Naw. I fear they’d get gubbed by Jersey Wanderers!

Is the team going anywhere during the winter break? Doesn't seem to be anything on here.

BTW hope all fellow Buddies had a great Christmas and I wish you all the very best for the forthcoming new year.
Anyway TWIST, TWIST like a Labour politicians values, TWIST like buggery. TWIST, TWIST and TWIST some more.
All the best everyone.
I agree Tom, but not like we did last summer.

I'd strongly disagree about Jardine, the proof of the pudding there was the experiment where he was played in midfield for Rangers and simply lacked the strength, dig, pace and stamina to hack it there. IM was never troubled in any position that he played in. Jardine got the right back berth and one of the best half-dozen in the world in that position (Mcgrain) was put on the left to accommodate him. Jardine got into Scotland squads when he was well past his best and the case for Munro was at it's strongest.
The fact that I had actually forgotten about those others is an indication of how I'd rate them. There are a number of left wingers who got in ahead of Munro who should never have gotten close to a Scotland cap.
Just my opinion. He was probably the classiest player of that era for Saints.
Not sure if I’m misinterpreting you’re first point but I’m not debating Sandy Jardine’s prowess as a midfielder (nor Iain Munro’s for that matter as I only ever remember him as a left back). I simply think Jardine was a slightly better full back than Munro and fully warranted his Scotland selection at right back. That only left the debate as to whether to play McGrain or Munro at left back and for me there is only ever one winner there. I soppose the NcGrain/Jardine thing was similar to the Robertson/Tierney thing now, only on the other side of the pitch. Only difference is there isn’t really a debate now as there isn’t really another decent right back.
I didn’t actually remember Munro playing in the Argentina game. Probably because I’m pretty sure it wasn’t televised and I didn’t go. I always remembered Munro’s debut as being the 4-0 gubbing of Norway in Oslo.
Certainly would have no argument with the last sentence of your post.

5-1.
That’ll do. Off the bottom and Dundee well and truly humped. Hopefully some of their new found confidence knocked out of them.

Iain Munro was the best Scottish left sided player in ANY position he played in for pretty much all of his career. It was a trvesty that successive Scotland managers chose to play an old-firm right back at left back rather than pick Iain
Now firstly I should say Iain Munro was potentially my favourite St. Mirren player ever (always find it difficult to categorically pick one player, but he'd be right up there).
However, to intimate or pass Danny McGrain off as someone who just got picked because he played for the Old Firm is nonsense. In my opinion McGrain in his prime was the best full back in the world regardless of whether he was playing left or right back. He was streets ahead of Iain Munro. Sandy Jardine whilst not quite in McGrain's class was also a top player and again better than oor Iain. I'd say I had no quibble with Munro being excluded for those two players. On the other hand the likes of Willie Donachie, Arthur Albiston or any other left back around that time couldn't have laced Munro's boots and should never have been picked ahead of him.

Would say most biggest clubs up here could compete no problem. The rest of us could compete with the lower half. That is my own opinion we are very good at knocking ourselves. Take a Edinburgh derby it's a much better watch than any league 1 game that I have seen on TV.
Nobody said anything about entertainment value. I've seen great games down the park. Doesn't mean they are of a better standard that EL1.

I think it’s funny when people get all proud and indignant when other people make this claim. But then, why wouldn’t it be? Attendances (outwith the OF) are higher, prize money is higher, wages are higher. If it wasn’t a better standard questions should be asked.

oh dear. It might be richer at this time however the new TV deal in Scotland will very much narrow that.

Really, I very much doubt it.
Ask yourself why Barnsley released him.
They are competing with Sunderland for the top spots in League One.
He isn't fit enough and he isn't good enough anymore for that level.
His performance level over 90 mins is nowhere near good enough for top league one side.
Good enough for SPFL which outside of Celtic is a very poor quality league.
Sadly I have to agree with this. I think it’s funny when people get all proud and indignant when other people make this claim. But then, why wouldn’t it be? Attendances (outwith the OF) are higher, prize money is higher, wages are higher. If it wasn’t a better standard questions should be asked.

No loyalty in football I suppose. If he is away hopefully it is back down to England and away from our rivals.
Whether there is any loyalty in football these days or not, I'm damn sure Adam Hammill doesn't owe us any.
He's only been here for two minutes and has made enough of a contribution during that time to warrant his wages.

Would be interesting if Ayr pulled Killie in the next round. Surely they can’t have played a hat trick of Ayrshire derbies in the Scottish Cup before.

As for today’s game, a good start for my bet. Got £20 on a 6/1 wincast. Kenny Miller to score anytime and Rangers to win.
Useless dirty stinking *** khunts!!!

Bet all the smug Kenny Miller detractors will be feeling a bit sheepish over the last few weeks. As I predicted he was a big miss for us and I further predict he will almost singlehandedly save Dundee’s season and relegate us in the process.

1987 - Taxi up to one mile £0.80
2018 - Taxi up to one mile £3.50
1987 - Gate price - £2.50
2018 - Gate price - £22
Inflation Indicator 1987 to 2018 gives
Taxi £2.80 today
Football £8.20 today
Blimey. Was it really only £2.50 to get into the fitba in 87?

My customers are not getting ripped off. Our prices are fair.
Using the inflation indicator, our fares are where they should be compared to when I startit in 1987.
As for football admission prices.
Really no need to answer the above post. He summed it up perfectly.
OK. Let me ask you a question. I genuinely don’t know the answer to this question, so I could be giving you a perfect opportunity to prove your point.
In 1986, a taxi from my burds hoose in Foxbar Crescent, to my hoose in Blythswood Drive cost me exactly £1. How much would that fare cost me know?
Now, unfortunately the strength of my argument takes another hit here coz for the life of me I cannae remember how much it cost to get into the fitba in 1986, but surely it couldnae have been less than £5? I’m thinking therefore that the cost of getting into the fitba has increased about fourfold over that time. On that basis, for your argument to stack up on a like for like basis, that taxi needs to be less than £4 now. Maybe it is. Ive no idea.

Well seeing who agreed and liked your post.
Just to clarify before I go.
Not once have I said Clubs should reduce prices without reducing costs first. I have said all Clubs should reduce prices after a 3 year window where in that time they can adjust budgets to suit.
For the same reason I wouldn't reduce my prices while my expenses are the same.
It has been explained many times so you and IOBS can sod off.
Thickos
But would you reduce your prices and your costs i.e. would you accept earning less from your taxi to be fair to your punters by giving them a better deal? Maybe make up the difference by getting a second job?
If the answer to that question is no, then why would you expect football clubs to do so?
I ask this question in spite of the inherent risk of unjustifiably being called a thick cnut.

Good to see Championship clubs standing up to them you mean.
Reading between the lines (and I appreciated nothing had been agreed or decided), it appears that League 1 & 2 sides were more than happy to hoover up the crumbs from the bigots' table.
