    south_seas_saint got a reaction from BigYardsAndBasher in Our Golden Era 1977-1987   
    Yep feel robbed of whats obviously been one of if not the our best period in our history.......the best period I had was the Alex Wright reign then family moved here in 69 and we had been doing ok in the first 11 games then it slowly started to turn bad and by the time I was in NZ Feb 69 it turned to custard.....
    So I'm finally gonae accept responsibility and blame me for the decline in not being there
    Took nearly a decade to come right and what a time that was for you all to bask in.
    The best I've been able to see was the League cup win via feed but don't think anyone could say that tops that brilliant period in our history

    A brilliant time yes but for me and many far flung buds sadly also as you say a time before internet so dark days way down here where news was only seeing the scores and the league tables in the local rags hard but good times so wish I could have shared

    I have few regrets in my life but one occur few is when I came to nz in 1969 I had three scrapbooks full of paper clippings and autographs from the teams from around 63 to 69 when I got here my young cousin who was also a saints fan was so envious and after a few years here I decided I'd gift them to him about 5 years later I was telling my son's about my scrapbooks and when I asked my cousin to see if the boys could see them his face dropped as he told me he had chucked them out when they moved house [emoji44] ah well one man's treasure in this case was his junk . Such a lot if great memories in some tip ????????????

    I can't remember exactly where they filmed the Game againt bluenoses when we beat them 1 nil with Hughie Gilshan scoring..... our last of 11 non losing streak after promotion?
    I remember vividly watching it on scotsport that night or the sunday program they had maybe it was just a highlights package but if anyone could get that clip it would be appreciated as would any from that special couple of seasons
    Yes I know many of you lived through the headier times of the mid 70's / 80s period when we were really flying high when my family had moved to NZ and you had to listen for a report on the radio for a score prior to the WWW so also any of those clips if available .......LOL we live in a bubble of a few games that keep us loving this club so muchhhhhhhhh.........KTF Lads

    Ach, aye VERY poor tonight, not really a debate on that point.
    Overall, only LOST 5 games from 16, it's draws that are costing us, turn 2 of them into wins and we're sitting on 21 points.
    Then again, no point in looking at "if's", the facts are we're struggling sine the Dundee game, where we were red hot favourites and lost. 
    Yes, concerned going into a really difficult December.

    Our home form is not good, especially against teams in the bottom half who continue to come to "LOVE ST" and take away points.........really mustn't let that happen today

    My 1st and last game at Hampden was in Feb 68 where we won 1 - 4 in our league winning season the crowd from memory was in the hundreds.
    A week or so later there was over 130000 watching Scotland V Engladshire in a 1-1 draw
    I still reckon the atmosphere in our victory was equal to the drawn game 😂

    Anybody got any pics of Love st from the Greenock rd entrance?
    Walking along Murray st and seeing the entrance and entering from that end every home game was spine tingling going through the turnstile or (getting lifted over it) 😉 then climbing the stairs and seeing the stands and the pitch appear before your eyes was like taking a first breath.... absolutely glorious.
    And on another point was having a wee laugh actually a big laugh at myself with my previous  not so much on here about the teams strips re the traditional black and white
    the penny dropped that during my hey day days of actually following the team from early 60's to 69 when we left to come to Nz most all the strips were mainly white with black trim or fine black pin stripes and wide white I think only once in that period since the cup win in 59 (when I was 5) did we actually wear the traditional kit 🤣
    So long story short St Mirren will always be St Mirren whatever they wear we will follow.... we just may choose not buy the particular style that's worn 😂
