THey better start thinking fast as it appears the stockmarket thinks things aint going so well. From a high of 90 odd pence the shares have fallen to 70.5p. That's 5p less than the starting price.

It looks like Dungfermline are aptly named as they appear to be dune the pan!

They have officially applied to go into administration. Another cheating football club attempting to squirm out of paying debts by foul means.

Unfortunately, Auntie Beeb's iplayer does work in Ireland. Any other options?
Download and install expatshield and it'll mask where you are.

A Buddies Dream
East versus West, there’s a tale to be told,
And 16,000 Saints fans, will watch it unfold.
On Sunday, March 17th, The day of a Saint,
We’ll be heading for Hampden, with scarfs and war paint.
As that day draws near, anticipation will grow,
We’ll all look forward, to a glorious show.
And when it arrives, I hope we can say,
It’s been a truly, magical and magnificent day.
As the Saints on the park all played their parts,
In ultimately defeating, the Midlothian Hearts.
Back they’ll all travel, beaten, of course
Returned to their chippies with their salt’nsauce
While we celebrate, Saint Mirren on the podium,
With chips and the help of, acetic acid and sodium
A day to remember, a night of deep joy
When the dreams of Buddies, be it girl, or boy,
Became a reality and the Saints team walked up,
To be presented with the trophy, the Scottish league cup.
And now to reality
And so came the day, the team sheet read out,
One change was made, from the Celtic rout.
In came Paul Dummett, at the expense of Carey,
And the first twenty minutes, were no less than scary.
Hearts well on top, and a goal to the good,
Missing chances, and hitting the wood.
But still we clung on, and lo and behold,
Our players stepped up, and scored their first goal.
Thompson flicked on, with Teale in full flight
He waltzed past defenders, down on the right.
A quick look around, and he sees it so plain,
And passes to Isma, to be the hero again.
With the crowd going wild, the ball’s in the net,
And the pain of the first quarter, we start to forget.
The second half starts, the whistles just gone,
Another goal for the Saints. Thompson’s on song.
2-1’s now the score, and belief is abound,
You could physically feel it, in the West of the ground.
There was better to come, as time ticked away,
Newton passed to Isma, and continued the play.
Goncalves flicked on, and in Connor stole,
“Baw’s in the pokey”, Saint Mirren’s third goal.
After Hearts got forward, and pulled one goal back,
It was our hearts not there’s that were having attacks
Lest we forget, it’s not just goals that you score,
To win a league cup, takes so much more.
Samson’'s save, and a Van Zanten block,
As we watched from the stand, the tick of the clock.
The whistle blows, it’s the end of the game,
Goodwin walks up, the trophy to claim
First Goodwin, then Samson, Thompson are there
McGinn, Van Zanten, McAusland and Mair,
Dummett, Newton, McGowan all go up
To lift that elusive, Scottish League Cup
Carey, McLean Adam, Parkin as well
All get their chance, so proud you can tell.
Then Teale and Goncalves, outstanding we say
They’ll all be remembered, for what happened that day
Last but not least, it’s the managers turn,
Danny Lennon lifts, the bright silver urn.
And as each of them lifted the cup and turned round
Tears were being shed, by all left in the ground.
So the cup comes to Paisley, the first time it’s been,
And throughout the town, were incredible scenes.
All I can say, to the staff and the players,
Is thank you for answering, all of our prayers!
Edited to correctly identify Parkin in the squad.

Does anyone know of the best way to watch the final online from overseas....?
'gutted' to be missing the game is a huge understatement - but being able to watch it from the US will help if i can, bbc website text commentary just doesnt cut it and cant get bbc....any sites anyone else overseas uses?
A lot of people use this
It allows you to watch BBC abroad.

Love how they're still trying to make out this season had been enjoyable.
The thing I don't understand is, What difference will it make to "ra peepul" as their chairman is on record as saying they're new club are off if this goes through so they won't be there to boycott anything?.....
Unless of course, Charlie is at the porkies and we know he doesn't tell lies.
Isn't that what he said?
Hmmmmmm. Maybe that was his only lie!

I've just bought 12 tickets from Gabriel's for the bus to the final. They've still got some left for anyone still struggling to get on a bus.
We managed to get the last two tickets for this bus yesterday. Hallelujah!!! No driving for me.
-
Hardly any seats left on the supporters busses. Going to be quiet in paisley from 130 till about 6 on the 17th
I've been trying to get tickets for a bus,... ANY fukcin' bus, but, so far, to no avail. Looking as if I'm designated driver for the day!

Much as I hate to say this. I felt Celtic were cheated last night.
I don't know how much the paople are paid for CL duties but, if I were a cynic,...........

NAW!

Morton for promotion.
Two things spring to mind here.
One is the factMorton's ground MIGHT stop them from coming up.
The other is, is their a bookies near the ground?

We can but hope!
If Green does do the dirty then he will leave behind a club that runs at a substatial loss and that in all probabilty will not own any assets other than players (and we saw what that was really worth when Rangers went under last year). In that case, even if the SFL allow the new new club into the 2nd division (or big 18 league) they will have to shed players and can not afford to buy new ones. They will have no working capital, very little good will from the fans, no chance of a flotation to raise cash. Some bear will probably decided against buying season tickets (prefering to pay at the gate if they go.) I almost wish that Green was legit cos for The rangers that really is armaggedon

Zero credit to the BBC, (or ITV whoever it was that broadcast the match live), with their one-sided choice of smelltic-minded pundits obviously planning for a gloat fest at the final whistle. Should have had an ex-Saint on.
On the plus side. It was really great to see their faces after the victory.

McAusland was man of the match for me. He did everything right, and had the balls to venture down to the byline to set up the third at 2-1, when he could easily have just sat back. A St. Mirren fan set up the winner, and a St. Mirren fan scored it. Woke up this morning and my hangover disappeared as soon as i remembered yesterdays heroics from our beloved team. Never been prouder to be a buddie.
I agree entirely. I said at the match yesterday that, though every man was a hero, for me, the two that stood out were young McGinn and the aforementioned McAusland. Marc not only looked composed and calm in defence but his distribution in general was absolutely exquisite.
He takes a lot of flack in here so it was great to see such a mature display from what is, after all, still a young man.

On January the 27th, it was cold and grey,
Four thousand plus Buddies, watched Saints play.On the field we had Samson, our goals he was in,
With Van Zanten, McAusland, Carey and Goodwin.
Teale, McGowan, McGinn and Newton,
Not one of them afraid to put the boot in.
Up front were Thomson and Goncalves the new lad,
With a point to prove that they weren’t that bad.
The scene was set, the players stood tall,
Not one seemed afraid, to get on the ball.
Right from the off they battled with heart,
And we were rewarded, with the perfect start.
Teale got the ball and moved it to Connor,
Who made a great pass, Isma taking the honour.
Now we were leading and showing our fight,
Giving the mighty Celtic, a helluva fright.
But just on halftime, a goal for the 'Tic,
Made us feel almost physically sick.
The second half began in the worst possible way,
With the ref pointing to the spot, wrongly, I'd say.
Mulgrew was the taker, Craig stood on his line,
The shot was good, but the save was sublime.
Samson was the hero, he kept the ball out,
And the fans in the south end continued to shout.
Then Saints were handed, a pen. of their own,
McGowan was there, and how to do it was shown.
In went the ball, and the Buddies were ahead,
Black'nWhite fans celebrate, As Saints again led.
It couldn't get better, you would have to believe,
But another twist was given, by our hero Steve.
He's been a Buddies’ fan, since he could recall,
And he had cause to celebrate as he got the ball,
A cross from the right, behind him it dropped,
But with an athletic stretch, he still made the shot.
In it went, now three one was the score,
And Stephen ran over, there was an almighty roar.Danny rang changes, on came Barron then Mair,
With the time running out, we didn’t care.
Another sub for us, in the shape of Guy,
But it didn’t matter, as we were on a high.
And though Celtic scored, their tally to double,
It was far too late, to cause us some trouble.
The final whistle blew, and we stood to applaud,
Not just the team, but the whole of the squadAnother trip beckons, we’ll head for this ground,
In expectation of winning, the final round!
Edited to get the date bruddy right!
Thanks Budthebaker.

The day oh awe days, it seem right,
Tae pen an ode about this plight.
We need tae get the fans oan board,
In pass through Glesga in thir hordes.
Noo am sitting here wae drink in hon,
Thinkin' ahead tae Sunday morn.
When aff we'll go wae scarf n banner,
No wae worry but in hopeful manner.
A beg yeez awe tae follow suit,
Get tae greenhill 'n part wae loot.
then go tae Hampden, one 'n awe.
In see the Saints win, that'll be braw.
Even if it happens in we're beat fare
At least ye kin say, "A wiz there!"
Give voice, be vocal, shout yersel hoarse
Singing whit?, Come On Ye Saints of course! -
Djalo that does not care to make noise
I think it's closer to,
Djalo does not care that it makes a noise.
I take it it's about flatulence!
edited to correct..... my english!

I think it is fair to say that young McGinn has impressed us all fans and staff alike. His debut is the talk of the place , great start. .
As long as the boo boys don't get on his back when he lapses, as all young players are likely to do.

HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who's in charge now?

Paul McKnight... Waste of a jersey though, to be fair, he didn't get it dirty too often. Much the same as Annand.

More's the pity. One less cabbie pleading poverty and squealing for a tip would be no bad thing!
