    bigjerseybuddie got a reaction from shull in First Saints Match and Heroes   
    Saints v Montrose. 1976/77
    Taken by my Saints supporting mate as we were both brought up in ibrox and hated the OF sectarianism.
    I was hooked on day 1 on the atmosphere, the style of play and the connection the fans had with the team.
    I rarely missed a game, the highs and lows of which few OF fans would get close to understanding. 
    Anglo Scottish cup win, Scanlon screamer v Celtic, Beckett screamer v Celtic. Bobby Torrance late winner at Ibrox. Losing to lower league teams in cup games too numerous to mention.
    Great days, great memories

    bigjerseybuddie got a reaction from waldorf34 in What are our transfer window requirements?   
    If Main is on a long contract then pay him off. Costly as it may be it will be costlier to hang on to a so called striker who offers very little to the team. 
    We don’t necessarily need a proven goal scorer, more someone with hunger, potential and a chance to prove themselves. We seem to be handicapped by a number of players who cannot and will not improve no matter how hard they try.
    We have signed players with a known poor scoring record hoping that we would be the place where it would suddenly happen for them. It hasn’t, so cut our losses. Maybe Brophy is in the same bracket.

    I’m more worried about us due to having more first teamers back. I was quite relaxed in midweek with the kids playing. In saying that a decent result today coupled with a productive early transfer window could turn our season around. 
    I have had my doubts about JG  but the players clearly have some fight under his guidance and that is testament to his man management skills.

    Nightmare? Nah just passing the time on a forum I enjoy and wish I was back up the road watching games in the flesh. If I give the impression of being overly zealous then blame my English teacher who tried in vain to get me to say and write what I meant.( some memory, I left school in 1977)

    bigjerseybuddie got a reaction from FTOF in St Mirren v Celtic   
    I did say “ I’m not one for conspiracy theories “ I also said I think the spfl wants us relegated. Nothing to do with conspiracy per se, it’s just an opinion. 
    For what it’s worth I think they need to rethink their criteria is it was set before the more transmissible omicron variant decided to show up. 
    A crowd tonight, however small is an opportunity for it to continue to thrive.
    On a personal note I had covid last year and was off work for 5 weeks and couldn’t climb a flight of stairs for 6 months so anyone who tells you it’s just a cold you have my permission to boot them in the stones.

    Not one for conspiracy theories but it does appear that the spfl wants us relegated. 
    Also understand that this isn’t Celtic’s problem but for the sake of sporting integrity they could have supported St Mirren’s request( not a chance I know ) Two very heavy defeats could ruin our season which is already in the balance. This far from a meaningless game and I will be shouting at the telly as usual cos I’m an eejit who loves his team. Imagine we won!

    The game goes ahead in a building which has a confirmed covid outbreak putting more people at risk. Somebody in the league set must really hate us. Would Renfrewshire council have the power to shut the stadium down to control the spread of infection ?
    The spfl shouldn’t have the power to decide this. It isn’t a football matter, it’s a public health issue.

    bigjerseybuddie got a reaction from ironsaints87 in Goodwin at league cup final   
    Goodwin spotted at hampden with his young son sporting a Celtic scarf. Of course his son, and indeed himself can support whoever he likes. Should he have been a bit more careful( don’t know how with tv cameras at the game) given the fact we are due to play them on wed. We, and other teams, have had to contend with this since football began. I just wish, somewhat naively, that employees of st mirren( and their weans) should not show open allegiance to other teams. A tongue in cheek view but I do get a bit pissed off when it happens. Thoughts?
