  1. 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........

    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 ?

    The clubs PR has been hummin' for a years. Behind the times on that front!

    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? :whistle

    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.

    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.

  8. Is Duckens Nazon back this week?

    Would be good to see wee Maggenis back in the staring 11, we have missed him a lot. 

    I must admit, though I have voted as young Ethan as young player of the year, I would rather see Muzek or even Hodson back in defense for this run in of games.....

  9. Just  looking at this and it reminds me, I actually have Tony Fitz's red Umbro Aaway top, No4 on the back from 78/79 (i think, way before I was even born) and a few years back, my father in law met him and got him to sign it. Absolute cracking top, massive collar on in too.

     

    I will try post a pic at some point, but a nice bit of saints history.

    Lastly , I am off on holiday this Friday so will NOT be sending txt , FB or Teamer reminders . Make sure you get your arses in gear and reply to your invite promptly .......and don’t txt me about footy next week !! David or Nicky could you send the invites etc for the games the following week (w.c. 6.5.19 ) please ?

    Sorry Callum, I forgot to respond re: the venue etc via text.

     

    I am happy to play any venue locally but with the money going back to club as preferred option.

     

    I have only played once (due to loosing place a week I couldn't make) therefore, feel less in a place to help make decisions. Though would happy play any Monday games as they come up.

    Yep, for me, the cup-winning strip is the best we've had for a long time. Mild annual variations on that would do for me.

    Plus, is it any coincidence that we actually won something whilst wearing it? Yes. Yes it is. But we definitely did get relegated as a direct result of that honking 2014-15 strip. :green

    It's typical - my standard line when it comes to black and white shirts is that Juventus never get it wrong so why can't we just copy them... and then they go and do this :lol:

    This a pretty brutal strip tbf. And I agree that the sole reason we got relegated was that barcode thing we had on that season, totally nothing to do with TC and his rank signings :thumbs2

    We don't need a permanent Manager.

    Two Part Time Coaches will do.

    We only play when there is no Top league football.

    Get a couple of Club Managers to step in on international week then they can return to their own Teams, just like the players.

    Tommy Wright & Stevie Clarke for starters maybe.

    Interestingly, they were discussing this on the radio when I was on way to work (PT managers etc), however, they also mentioned Jack Ross as a potential candidate which comes as a surprise.....

    Didnt imply it?

    he said it..! " some of them cant speak English" 

    is that a failing on their part. or a feckin cultural reality of signing people from various countries? 

    You cant fault people because of their first language, especially if you sign them in that full knowledge.

    Read the rest, in context, the article in summary is 'we signed a lot of players, there were barriers to settle such as language but we are hitting form, good results and have settled well and the mood has changed'........ See blow.

     

    "We have a centre-half who has now picked up the shouts and you can notice a heavy difference from when he first came in and was shouting in Romanian. They've started to pick up the game and different mentalities over here as opposed to steaming in and expecting to not give away a foul.

    "Our turning point came when we went to Tynecastle and Pittodrie and had two good draws and could have won. The mood in the dressing room completely turned with those two results."

    Just an idea, but how about turning the whole thing around and trying to make Old Firm games our "family days". That concept normally gets rolled out when playing a team we aren't going to sell many tickets against. 

    We could make a drive to fill the family stand with youth groups, incentivise season ticket holders and registered ticket website members to bring a friend along (the idea season ticket holders would buy home end tickets for OF fans is ridiculous), encourage the West Stand to make enough noise drown out the ulster related shite coming out the away end.

    Yes, we would lose money on it all, but these games could be celebrations of everything that St Mirren stand for. Every St Mirren fan could very easily jump on a bus to Glasgow and see a bigger, (normally) winning team, but they chose not to out of loyalty to their local team & as a rejection of the bigtory and violence that comes with Celtic & Rangers. These games should be our opportunity to show the country that. They shouldn't be games where we surrender the stadium & three points without a fight.

    This is a good idea over all. In defiance to the OF and in reference to the last sentence it would be a big statement, indeed we could proclaim.... 'No surr...' oh, wait..... 

     

    On second thoughts, lets re-think the last part...............

    We need a crowd like Falkirk away under Gus, everyone’s got to be up for it tomorrow, the players and fans included.

    Funny, I referenced this game as exactly how we need to approach this game. 

     

    I remember how fired up we were from the outset and those 2 goals. Supberb, I am sure the saints fans surging forward after the 2nd goal flattened the stand boarding's.

     

    Was a party atmosphere that day!

     

    I pray for a repeat tomorrow.

    just go to frontrowsports and scroll down till you find it, (they only come up a minute or two before game starts)   you have to keep closing all the crap adverts for what seems like ages , but I always manage to get the game in the end even though you sometimes miss a couple of minutes.

     

    Just noticed it's on Alba later,I really should read through everything before posting.  :wub:

    Thanks a lot bud! This is helpful to know. 

     

    Appreciate your help
