The night kicked off in the Bull Inn, and was fairly respectable, good-mannered and well behaved. With Dr ( ) Zo and I returning to the line up, the over thirties beat their young counterparts with regards to attendance. Undoubtedly, the highlight of the early exchanges was the squad photograph taken with the first player ever to score in European competition for our beloved Buddies*: someone get that image posted!
Migrating to the Bankhouse for the cup final dvd night was great tactical change (kudos to big Fraser) and everyone was positive about all things black and white. Seeing the cup final images had everyone grinning from ear-to-ear, with the copious consumption of beer, really adding to the festive cheer. Just like the games, big Stef was always on my left…
Paddy’s was next, and primarily chosen to see the table at the window where God and I signed on the Monday after St Mirren’s day – sadly, the relics of graffiti history were no more. The atmosphere there failed to capture the team’s spirit so…
… the remainder of the game was then played out in Kilty’s, where a local hairdresser’s Xmas night out added to the entertainment. Hugh Jackman lookalike and local heartthrob Gordon catching the eye (amongst other body parts…) of an attractive and somewhat leggy blonde. Being made of ice, the man did not yield to her obvious advances.
It was Kilty’s where someone (probably one of the whippersnappers, irvine_buddie or neilpar72) thought Aftershocks were a good idea – wooft! The night was much louder from then on, probably on a decibel level akin to big Alan’s shirt…
Absolutely top night, everyone getting on brilliantly – there’s a real team spirit in that changing room. MOTM? I can’t give to any individual as everyone played their part in a top, top performance so it’s a shared nomination amongst all who showed up– well played, lads
*for those without Google, it was Douglas McKenzie Somner

keep the rest of the kitty for our Scottish cup final celebrations;-)

There are 12 "Yes" votes for the night out, 13 who can't make it, and 11 who have not responded.
We are never going to get everyone together so I propose a middle ground, where I will give half the kitty to the guys who want to go out tomorrow and we will have another night next year ? The same guys going tomorrow can still attend the next night out too !
That sound ok ? If so I will bring £100 to the game on Sat and give it to Dr Zo or big Stef.
Cool ?

Latest results from the social night out............
10 accepts, 10 declines, 16 responses still to collect.
Need 8 more in the Yes camp to make it a reality. This is exciting stuff !

Very disappointing if it is actually destroyed as it will take a considerable amount of time to get a replacement sorted, insurance done / finance etc.
Despite people's well documented reservations I have thoroughly enjoyed playing football there.

I was there.
The presentation by the fans council was really interesting. A good group of people who clearly work hard for the common good of fans and the club. Enjoyed meeting many of them last night and I was struck by how professionally and transparently they are run. The fact that our club can count on it's fans to give up there time to help in so many ways is of great credit to our club and the fans who "step up". Smisa got several mentions for the good work they also carry out so we as the fans of our great club have much to be proud of.c
The fans council have been selling lottery tickets and will be doing a couple of sales pitches at the Braehead shopping centre over the next couple of weekends (can't exactly remember the dates but the 8th was definitely one of them). I shall make that my shopping day and will pass by and purchase some more tickets. In fact I would even be happy to help!
The question and answer session with Mr Lennon was really good but it would be terribly unfair to reproduce what he said on an internet forum for the usual trolls to analyse and tear apart. Of course many decent fans will undoubtedly not have been able to make it for perfectly good reasons so may I suggest asking someone whom you know was at the meeting or perhaps a council member or even better go along to the night organised by that great organisation smisa, show your support and ask your questions. Posting it on here would not be in the interests of anyone who cares about our club.
If I am still of this earth next year I will be at next year's agm to show my support for them. I certainly hope to see many more of you do likewise.

After an enjoyable and compelling hour of football, a bibless B&WA 8s Young Team were dispatched by an over 30s side last night, which, almost inconceivably given my baby-faced handsomeness, contained me…
The Overs had the better of a quiet opening period, with ball retention and easy baws the name of the game, particularly from Messrs Casey, Brown and Zo. Big Mark Logan was the difference with his strong and direct running. I previously referred to him as a battering ram, which I realise now was unjust – he’s more like a juggernaught!
The Young Team began to pose more of a threat when big Fraser Burns was pushed up front, giving the previously comfortable back 2/3/4/5/6 some problems, particularly with the talented Nicky driving forward in support.
The game became more stretched and individual errors and misplaced passes were occurring more frequently, but this only added to the undoubted spectacle.
Personally, I was disappointed not to score with the few chances I had, but pleased that I was like a very poor man’s Mesut Ozil with several assists. My favourite goal last night was when my in-swinging corner was flicked on at the near post and big Stef found himself unmarked at the back stick, with a unique stand-on-the-ball finish that crept over the line.
I voted Mark Logan as MOTM, just edging out Nicky. My vote was the sixth and quite interesting to see five different players nominated for this prestigious award. Well played, everyone!!
‘mon the auld yins!!
Sadly, I return to work next week in Southern Scotland so unlikely to grace the astroturf again anytime soon...

Looking forward to making my comeback from a 3 week holiday of drinking too much cider and eating too much pizza!

Am I correct in thinking that Danny is out of contract in the summer?
He's led us to our highest SPL finish and brought national silverware back to Paisley so surely we'll be offering him a new deal.
Wouldn't blame him for walking away after this year due to some of the ridiculous abuse he has been recieving! However his CV will look very good after his few years at saints working on a budget that's getting cut year on year and still manages to get results, a job offer from down south can't be too far away!!

Feel free. Was only megged by one person. Unfortunately it was Nicky and he did it 3times. Wee shite:-P
He still ended up on the losing side. (show pony;-))

Next time I meg you ill be sure to do that:)

Regarding the vocal dissent, and bearing in mind i've not played attended for a few weeks, it's a shame if that is creeping in to what is a thoroughly enjoyable hour of footie.
I'd say Div is the most vocal when venting frustrations, but never in a personal or derogatory way. He's also very critical of himself, as some of the saves he makes are in the "Unbelievable, Jeff" category, but - as you allude to above - he'll then produce a moment of outstanding comedy.
On to next week's game and I have now accepted my teamer invite. I can only express my delight at being involved again by quoting those comedy greats, Homer Jay Simpson and Glenn Quagmire:
Woo-hoo! I'm in, giggity, giggity, giggity!!

I have always found the games have been played in good spirits. Never seen a bad tackle or any kind of 'afters' after a tackle. There is always going to be a wee edge to games otherwise it would be a pretty dull affair but never felt it's came close to getting out of hand.

I thought we were 1 up (bibs) then they pulled one back at the end to make it evens. *shrugs* was a good game anyway.

One thing I will add though, people seem to be taking the game a little too serious nowadays. When I joined up it was for a fun friendly atmosphere with some stmirren fans - moving away from those who like to shout and moan at a game of 5s. Seems like its heading in that direction. A lot of people shouting at one another and others calling people shite under their breath. Was meant to be a bit of fun for people with varied skill levels, would hate to see it move away from that.

Also, gutted that the night out is also on the night of our annual pub crawl around Glasgow - The 12 pubs of Christmas. oh well

How about this, mariaaaaaaaan kelllloooooooo to the tune of giroud song. Simple but effective!

If there's any last-minute fitness test failures, or no shows, or Teamer malfunctions et al, then i'm about 15 minutes from being summoned to being pitchside.
Screw it, i'll have my boots and stripes on in the house tonight with the deep heat at the ready, just in case and to reduce that 15 minutes to a Junior-before-turning-Judas fast 10 minutes...

Better leaving line up and formation to Danny Legend.
He knows best.

I liked John Mcginn's
@John Mcginn ‘Just been for a number 2 delighted it was a Goody’

If there's someone strayed
In the St Mirren half
who ya gonna call?
Jim Goodwin
And if someone dares
Try to kick McLean
Who ya gonna call?
Jim Goodwin.

I actually don't think Jim's anywhere near as bad as he's painted by people.
It's laughable that Derek Adams claims he's treated with immunity by refs, when there are tackles in EVERY single game where Goody gets booked but other players just wouldn't!
Every team needs an enforcer. He's ours. I'd f**king hate him if he played for somebody else!
Also, worth remembering, is that he was wanted by Hibs, went and spoke to them out of courtesy, was offered MORE money, but chose to stay with us. Says a lot about the man, much more than the player on the pitch.
