    This poster given out free to children on Christmas Day 1976 at Kilbowie Park.

    Clydebank 2 St Mirren 2

    The Furies were 2-0 down.

    I was at that game. I'm sure Davy Cooper was still at the Bankies. They were our big rivals that season and were promoted with us that year. Sad to think Kilbowie no more and whats left is a West of Scotland League Club. The poster was on my wall for a good few years. Incidentally if you thought that game was a bleter you should have been at Cappielow for the new year game :) 

  3. OPEN LETTER TO THE BOARD AND ANYONE ELSE

    in General St. Mirren Discussion

    Just completed my form. Sounds like between a rock and a hard place in terms of the finances. Understand fans frustration in giving up a stand to the old firm but I honestly believe that we would struggle to fill the family stand from previous experience of the old firm games. The hostility felt by fans often runs to just plain refusing to attend these games anyway. So do we bite the bullet and accept a lower budget for the squad..... Asking non ST holders to pay more for these games I don't believe will make up the shortfall and more likely discourage attendance. Paying the extra £30 on your season ticket may be acceptable for some but not a long term solution in encouraging ST uptake either.

    Heard he had his contract paid up/terminated , he's been home in Langbank for a while. 

    Would love to see him back in a saints strip again. Don't think he'll be short of interest from other clubs though.

    A brilliant throwback to the 70s. All we need now is some geezer selling some “macaroonspearmintgum”.

    Used to look forward to my macaroon bar on a Saturday. Always the guy standing just short of the corner of Love St and Albion Street. Then onwards for my auld man to give me a lifty over the turnstile. Ahhh the good old days 🤣

    Disagree on Power being better than Erhahon. They are two completely different types of player. Erhahon is much better at retaining possession than Power is.

    Shaughnessy, Alnwick, Tait, Power provide plenty of experience in the squad. I don't honestly see where Flynn fits in next season. There's no point in keeping him around for sentimentality.

    Think Flynn deserves more game time. Thought he was the player that turned the game against Motherwell last week. Shit game and we did not deserve the win in the end but anything +ve in the 2nd half happened when he came on.

  12. St Mirren v St Johnstone, Sunday 29th August

    in Matchday & Travel Club

    Pretty disappointed with the performance today. As bad a midfield performance I've seen in a long time. Even McGrath was not firing on all cylinders. The strikers for some reason bore the brunt of the midfields lack lustre performance with Main and Brophy getting hooked for Dennis and Erwin. Pointless when the issue was in midfield. Why Jim never at least took Erhahon off for McPherson I'll never know. Particularly when Erhahon got his 1st booking. I'm not one of the screaming boo boys Erhahon haters that slag him off every week on this site but he definitely had a stinker today. There has been signs of a decent player over the last year and I hope he gets back on track. Today though he looked sluggish and his passing was poor but then tbh nobody in midfield looked up for it today. 

    We were lucky to get 0 - 0 today. 

  13. The capacity debacle

    in General St. Mirren Discussion

    I think most people will still be wary of Covid 19 even attending a game with 1039 supporters. If not they should be. 2 vaccines still does not confer full immunity to everyone but thankfully has made a difference to morbidity and mortality. However as a father of an otherwise healthy 27 year old daughter who contracted Covid recently, despite 2 vaccines and 3 weeks later is still not physically back to her previous level of fitness, I'm not upset by the caution being  shown.  The point has been made that the longer we give the rest of the younger population to take the vaccination the better before opening up fully.

  14. St. Mirren v Dunfermline Athletic 13-07-21

    in Matchday & Travel Club

    Posted

    Only player I had concerns abt last night was Brophy. Rarely involved. Seemed to be a yard off the pace. Perhaps he was not getting the amount of service Main had but Main worked hard to find openings and space. Well impressed with Tanser and Kiltie had a solid game. Powers looked a different player to the one I watched for Killie last year where I thought he laboured. Dunne looked excellent in 1st half. Thought he tired a bit in 2nd half but no feck ups. What impressed me most abt the performance last night was the amount of midfield possession we won from Dunfermline when they were in possession. Closed them down very quickly. Looks a decent squad this year. 

    However it was only the 1st competitive game of the season and I refuse to be buoyed by 1 decent performance 🤣

    RUSH ... One Little Victory

    😊

    Lets hope we're not living in the "Twilight Zone" with that thought. "In the end" we can but "Hope" for the 3 points and pray we are "in the mood" today. "In the end " it's been a decent season.......... I'll get my coat. COYS
