At last, the day to make history has arrived. It seems such a long time since the semi. Just a little more than 6 hours 'till kick-off, and becoming more nervous each minute. Hopefully the team will be more calm than I am.
Good wishes to all who make it to the match. Many of us who can't be there will be with you in spirit, and anxiously sniffing out news from many sources. Sunshine or rain, I wish you all a great day.

I just hope they give everything, i just hope they play their best.
We may lose, we can't control the result. We may be unlucky, maybe it's not meant to be. There's nothing the manager or the players can do if its not meant to be.
What they can do is give 100% and try their hardest. They can do enough to make sure they and we leave Hampden proud to be St Mirren fans regardless of the result.
That's all i expect today.

Okay.... so my missus is still sleeping and there is no one to pinch me. Can someone confirm that this is indeed the day the long wait finally comes to an end, because that is what I'm feeling and I'm pretty sure I'm awake now.
Let's make this a day to remember folks. We're asking our club to make us proud, and it is our job to make the club proud of us in return. I know we will get behind the players, and I'm expecting my heart to be close to bursting when I look around me and soak it in at 2.50pm this afternoon.
Whether we are due the win or not, is perhaps up for debate, but something is 100% clear - we are due a right good day out. The last final is remembered for all the wrong, gut wrenching reasons, but we already know today will be different.
Personally, I believe we are going to win this. Today is our day. We'll be thinking of everyone who couldn't be there today when big Jim lifts that cup aloft, but the tears will be happy tears.
Time to make history friends.
LET'S DO THIS!
COYS!!!!

I think I know this one.
A walk along the river .... across from the Abbey?

The differences in the run up to this final compared to 3 years ago are incredible. Not only have we sold 50% more tickets than last time, the buzz, spirit and noticeable St Mirren presence around the town is just wonderful to see. Saturday was the first time I'd been in Paisley in around a month and there were loads of banners around the town, good luck messages in windows, etc. Unrecognisable and certainly something I've never really seen before, which in the 20-odd years of being a Buddie is quite something. As much as it is warming, it's a wee bit saddening there wasn't this level of support when we played the former Rangers Football Club plc purely because our town is overrun with their support. There's a different energy about the place, a positivity that has been lacking for far too long.
Sunday can't come quick enough. I'm getting butterflies every time I think about the teams walking out at Hampden.

A Buddies Dream
East versus West, there’s a tale to be told,
And 16,000 Saints fans, will watch it unfold.
On Sunday, March 17th, The day of a Saint,
We’ll be heading for Hampden, with scarfs and war paint.
As that day draws near, anticipation will grow,
We’ll all look forward, to a glorious show.
And when it arrives, I hope we can say,
It’s been a truly, magical and magnificent day.
As the Saints on the park all played their parts,
In ultimately defeating, the Midlothian Hearts.
Back they’ll all travel, beaten, of course
Returned to their chippies with their salt’nsauce
While we celebrate, Saint Mirren on the podium,
With chips and the help of, acetic acid and sodium
A day to remember, a night of deep joy
When the dreams of Buddies, be it girl, or boy,
Became a reality and the Saints team walked up,
To be presented with the trophy, the Scottish league cup.

I may have written something like this before .... They have been caught cheating big style. Kick them out.

Just read this morning's news again. It wasn't a dream. It really happened.

On January the 27th, it was cold and grey,
Four thousand plus Buddies, watched Saints play.
On the field we had Samson, our goals he was in,
With Van Zanten, McAusland, Carey and Goodwin.
Teale, McGowan, McGinn and Newton,
Not one of them afraid to put the boot in.
Up front were Thomson and Goncalves the new lad,
With a point to prove that they weren’t that bad.
The scene was set, the players stood tall,
Not one seemed afraid, to get on the ball.
Right from the off they battled with heart,
And we were rewarded, with the perfect start.
Teale got the ball and moved it to Connor,
Who made a great pass, Isma taking the honour.
Now we were leading and showing our fight,
Giving the mighty Celtic, a helluva fright.
But just on halftime, a goal for the 'Tic,
Made us feel almost physically sick.
The second half began in the worst possible way,
With the ref pointing to the spot, wrongly, I'd say.
Mulgrew was the taker, Craig stood on his line,
The shot was good, but the save was sublime.
Samson was the hero, he kept the ball out,
And the fans in the south end continued to shout.
Then Saints were handed, a pen. of their own,
McGowan was there, and how to do it was shown.
In went the ball, and the Buddies were ahead,
Black'nWhite fans celebrate, As Saints again led.
It couldn't get better, you would have to believe,
But another twist was given, by our hero Steve.
He's been a Buddies’ fan, since he could recall,
And he had cause to celebrate as he got the ball,
A cross from the right, behind him it dropped,
But with an athletic stretch, he still made the shot.
In it went, now three one was the score,
And Stephen ran over, there was an almighty roar.
Danny rang changes, on came Barron then Mair,
With the time running out, we didn’t care.
Another sub for us, in the shape of Guy,
But it didn’t matter, as we were on a high.
And though Celtic scored, their tally to double,
It was far too late, to cause us some trouble.
The final whistle blew, and we stood to applaud,
Not just the team, but the whole of the squad
Another trip beckons, we’ll head for this ground,
In expectation of winning, the final round!

Edited to get the date bruddy right!
Thanks Budthebaker.

WE BELIEVED!!!!!!!!!

Good morning from Bangkok.
Last night was a late one. How did I get to work this morning? A great day to be a Saints man.
