Indeed, the focus on sectarianism removes plenty of other clubs from what is unacceptable behaviour.
The fact the OF have more support only makes them the worst offenders.
As you say, no easy answers....................near impossible in reality.
I agree. In this day an age, any form of discrimination, bigotry etc is beggars belief.
There isn't an easy answer to eradicate, as @Lord Pityme said in the prior page, I agree we should ensure we do our best to safeguard our own.
That makes sense.

Your 100% correct. America and Isreal if believed have had a list of regeme changes in the middle east Iran is the last one. America went into the Vietnam war by faking an attack on it's own battle ship.
Whilst I have no evidence on the most recent ships etc, USA have a history of 'false flags'. These are confirmed in disclosed/public documents and through basic research. As does the UK to be fair. Mind the weapons of mass destruction and all the evidence we have.....
Therefore, I wouldn't be surprised by this again. There is plenty of political and financial benefits to be gained from another war, sad times.

No ifs about it.
Just do it.
Problem solved.
Sectarian cnuts gone and you crying.
Whilst R & C are the worst offenders of Sectarianism, they aren't the only guilty ones. Just need to look at Edinburgh, Ayrshire and sections of the Lanarkshire teams, there are elements of sectarianism.... Whilst not as rife, it exists there too. Do we stop them attending? Genuine question.
Sectarianism is not the only issue blighting our game.
There have been other clubs who have been involved in Shady behavior, such as Ayr (smoke bombs) at our ground, Morton tearing up seats.
Airdrie have had issues with Racism in the past.
The list of issues could go on.
My question is, how/where do we draw a line in this? How do we decide which is worst, who can attend and can't? Are we in risk of sectarianism ourselves by banning certain fans and not others based on the 'perceived' beliefs (we can't factually prove any clubs fans hold any particular belief as a whole)?
Ps I would LOVE to eradicate the issue, it f**ks me off no end. However, life and these type of issues aren't as (excuse the pun) 'black and white' as that.

Really sad news, true saints fan and saddened to hear this. Thoughts with her family and friends.
RIP

I imagine we will come in for a pile of laughing and finger pointing for that.
The lunatics have taken over the strip committee.
When we have been relegated in the past, it is usually accompanied by a shite strip. This absolutely REEKS of a Relegation strip... unfortunately.
I get where you are going with this.... 2014/5's kit was a shiter, however, I think these actually (going by twitter and social media mainly) a lot of satisfaction for these kits.
Therefore, I plump for it looking like a 10th Place kit, so we are gonnae be ok!
Got to say, the season past's away kit was a cracker and sad to see it go. Red away kits are a favorite of mine (particularly some of the AC milan style ones).

If thats the case then how in feck does Dens Park qualify..?
and why do we host UEFA internationals? Scott said his influence in the stadium design insured we would be UEFA compliant..!
I agree with the bits highlighted above and have been asking this question too. Just seems a bit odd.

Great read! Nice to read the sporting history of oor wee toon.
I did spot this however and think, if they were still in existence there would be one or two saints fans from BAWA swapping allegiances....
Paisley Olympic FC; 'Paisley Olympic FC were made up exclusively of academics'

I see Dive has put a few tweets out stating, in summary;
- Manager is looking to replace JN with a new assistant/coach
- The club are looking to get Popesku (sorry re spelling) back on loan as well as some of last seasons loanee's, not sure exactly who (one rumor is McAlister)
- He has identified other targets and potential targets
- Muzek and Mckenzie are in talks with the club
- He wants a squad of 21 to remain comeptitive and currently we have 13
My opinion would be that the only Loanee's I'd like is Pop and maybe McAlister at a push. I didn't think Lyons quite hit the heights I'd hoped, the Duck didn't do enough and think that we need to fill the strikers role as a priority.

It didn't upset me. Read my post.
No worries buddy, maybe misread *

I believe there are threads regarding signings. This one concerns the strip.
Technically, my response was to validate the point that the players 'wearing the strips' are more important than the strips themselves.......
However, sorry this upset you.

Have we signed anyone to wear the kit?
And here lays my main focus too.
Come on saints, lets be having some signings....

Here is a wee thought.....
The kit seems to have a similarity to the Juve kit this season.
A lot of teams such as Barca, Liverpool, man u etc have all had pink/purple change kits.
Could it be that the club have tailored the kit designs in line with these tops clubs in a bid to capture the target market (a younger generation) who may be more likely to purchase, rather than those above 30 who are less likely to buy kits due to, well, age and other priorities?
Maybe giving the board too much credit but this could be a clever marketing strategy........

Folk need to calm doon Hahahaha 🙄😂
I agree, and as much as I like the kits, I also don't care too much as long as they are black and white home tops (stripes) and the team is decent.
The bigger focus should be who we have wearing them
-
The home kit looks better with black shorts.
-
New kits a belter (both IMO).

So, to be clear, if by miracle we qualified for Europe, we could play, just in another venue?

As theclub try and sell season tickets ,we have signed no new players,no rumours of new players ,no sign of new strips ! Has the club no PR/Marketing ideas ?

Unlikely. He seems to need people to pray to him to tell him that others need his help. It appears he knows nothing unless he's told. I wonder why that is?
Also seems narcissistic if he needs to be told how much he is loved and believed in, in order to do good deeds such as, you know, stop kids having cancer...... It seems according to believers, he could, just doesn't want to. Quite sadistic really?

Thanks to sweep this will go down as the worst thread in BAWA history.
Disgusting stuff. ☹️
Fortunately, because I know quite a few, not all religious people are like that and would be pretty pissed off at sweep claming this stuff in their name.
I agree. Cannot believe what I am reading on this thread..... Utterly disgusting.

His passing and crossing at times were outstanding to help tire and finally break down Hamilton.
Agreed, he sprayed the ball from side to side, dragging defenders along with it, opening space up.
He played excellent and intelligent football last night. Well done SM!

This is unbelievable....
I am lost for words on how strongly I feel against this

Hope I'm wrong but can see this being a draw. Hamilton will just come to spoil the game, something they are very good at.
Horrible team, stadium and club.
This is what I am expecting and share the sentiment regarding them also, outwith the OF, they are the team I dislike most. Ever since the 90's when I really got into Football I hated this club.
Would take great pleasure in beating them, and leapfrogging them last day if they fail to win their match and we beat Dundee.

The Smyths at the garage this Saturday , seen them a couple of times and always a great show.
They are pretty good, I think Smiths Utd were maybe a bit better, however, they venue was better so may have been that.
Other than Moz gigs, this is the closest I'll ever come to seeing the Smiths so always good to see both these cover bands.

If I was a gay footballer in the Premiership in Scotland would I want to declare it? No chance. While my team mates and supporters would probably acknowledge it and move on however the supporters of other clubs would probably make my life hell. Scottish football supporters have in the last few years abused players over disabilities and colour and for decades over religion.
There is no reason to declare it. Family, friends and team mates would know and that is all that matters. Would I really want to be invited onto Sportsound and Off the Ball to give the numpties a target to aim at? And to prove what exactly?
This is the sad thing..... There are idiots who will victimize people/players and they may be subject to abuse (from a small section of morons) which is bullshit. People should just be able to get on with their lives.
I agree with most of the posts above, i.e. I couldn't care less if players are gay, straight, bi etc, I care that they are good players, good people and represent my club well. They have a right to a private life outwith footy and a right to have any or no sexual preference (within the law).
There is also no reason for them to come out just to tick boxes for other parties and to be a show pony for that agenda (unless they are willing to and want to to be in that position), as that type of attention it might be as off putting as the abuse.
Gay/Lesbian/Bi/Straight/trans etc etc people are just people.... we are all equal, lets get on with it and accept people for who they are and celebrate good people without having to define them by sexuality.
If we stay up... Give us the family stand back.

The point I have highlighted in your posts is something I actually agree with. They don't do enough to eradicate the issue as I think they fear the backlash from their fans if they did. I agree with you here.
Genuine agreement...... lol
