    All that was missing was a GIRFUY “Hail Hail” at the end 😂 

    Is there not a splitter faction of the GB called “The Bhoys”? 

    I think this decision may help us tomorrow night as there will be protests outside about this decision. Don’t forget that the GB have been very unhappy in the past resulting in protests against their team when Lennon was manager and they failed in their 10 in a row challenge. 

    I hope we pump them!

    Marchin on to the title! COYS

    Yep, but they sit at the other end 

    Think we can expect some form of protest from their fans tonight, a quick look at social media shows that they are a bit divided over it 

    Suspect Rodgers might rotate a few players too with how many games they've played recently

    Tough game as always but we may as well have a go

    This forum is totally independent of the club and those on both sides intent on murdering others simply because of race/religious beliefs are the epitome of scum.

    We'll have to agree to disagree on that. Largest St Mirren fan forum outside of Facebook. 

    I strongly oppose the actions of the Israeli government, but to label Israeli's as "scum Israeli cnuts" when we have an Israeli player who's close friend died due to the actions of Hamas (who's actions I also strongly oppose) - is a very bad look and should be moderated - imo.

    When you read the topic headline you knew what was coming wasn't going to be fair or balanced. You'll notice that him and Jockmd have not managed to come up with a shread of evidence to back up their words. Away from whose side you are on you can't allow your prejudice to blame Israel on an atrocity without any facts at all.

    Embarrassed for them both. But hey this forum isn't known for its balanced, intelligent debate on anything.

    I just think a St Mirren forum allowing thread title references to "Israeli scum" or "Hamas/Palestinian scum" is an extremely bad look on the club and its supporters

    It's something you would expect to see on either side of the OF, but not on here

    Regardless of political leanings or which side you believe is in the right/wrong - it's all a bit horrible 

     

  4. Referring to other humans as "scum" was enough to get the singing section a ban several years ago - and that was a light hearted joke about folk fae Greenock

    In this far more serious context - I'd suggest changing the thread title or deleting this thread. A bit embarrassing to have on a St Mirren forum

    Hitler de-humanised the Jews using similar language

  5. From BBC
     

    1. The Israeli military says hundreds of thousands of troops are near the Gaza border "ready to execute the mission we have been given"
    2. Israel is expected to launch a ground offensive on the Gaza Strip soon - it says the mission is to "make sure Hamas won't have any military capabilities"
    3. The death toll in Israel has reached 1,200 - while more than 900 people have been killed by Israeli air strikes on Gaza
    4. The head of the Palestinian Energy Authority says Gaza's only power station will run out of fuel today
    5. Earlier this week, Israel announced a "siege" of Gaza - cutting its supplies of electricity, fuel, and water
    6. Details of a massacre in an Israeli village have emerged - with an Israeli general speaking of babies killed in their bedrooms
    7. Israeli soldiers also told BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen that some of the dead in the village had been beheaded

     

    Can't see Biden having much influence to halt anything, guy can't string a sentence together. The world is in a dangerous place right now

  6. Difficult to put into words how depressing this is

    I noticed on instagram that one of Stav Nahmani's best mates girlfriend was killed - if you're Stav - you're thinking that your homeland is under attack by terrorists who are willing to murder, rape and kidnap innocent people at a concert

    If you're a Palestinian, your homeland has been turned into an open air prison that is currently being flattened by Israel

    By applying empathy, you can easily make a case for both sides to be absolutely f**king seething inside

    There is no obvious route to peace and that is extremely concerning

    Wow! Draconian indeed. It seems that there's an insidious attempt to control and regulate all aspects of life nowadays. 

     

    ETA: @Doakes - not sure if you're the man to ask, but I read that the Green Brigade stole various items from the Northbank. Do you know if that's true?

    Wasn't there so not too sure what happened, but heard a large group of Celtic intercepted a small number of the younger NB boys on the train back from Livi. Celtic group must have got wind they were on the train, but only managed to take a drum and a couple of flags, not a huge deal. Younger guys need to be smarter when it comes to posting on social media

  9. On the 30th August, the UK Government published a consultation document 

    Link: Guidelines for taking passengers to sporting events in Scotland consultation document - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

    TL;DR

    Bus companies must tell a DFO (dedicated football officer) at least 48 hours before a game, the number of supporters on the bus, the number of buses and the person who made the booking must give their name and contact number

    The bus cannot stop within 10 miles of the ground unless permission is granted by the DFO

    Buses not permitted to stop at a pub or anywhere that sells alcohol, unless permitted by the DFO

    Can stop somewhere more than 10 miles away but only if combined with a "substantial meal" :lol: 

    Bus must arrive no earlier than 2 hours before the game, and no later than 1 hour before the game

    No pick ups or drop offs that are not authorised by the police 

    The DFO can make adjustments to route or stops as they deem reasonable

    No alcohol onboard buses, operators encouraged to suggest a voluntary search to ensure compliance 

    No offensive chanting. Anything offensive to be reported to the DFO 

    Bus must leave the ground no more than 30 minutes after the game is finished

     

    Official wording:

    Quote

     

    a. PSV operators taking bookings from groups of supporters are to notify the relevant Dedicated Football Officer (DFO), at least 48 hours before the event, of the number of supporters expected to travel, the number of vehicles booked, the name and the contact number for the person who made the booking. Once available the operator must also notify the VRM and driver’s name to the relevant Dedicated Football Officer.

    For the purpose of these guidelines, the relevant Dedicated Football Officer means the DFO for the club that the fans are travelling to support. For example, Livingston are playing a Premiership league game away to Aberdeen. Operator A has been contracted to transport Livingston fans from Bathgate and the relevant DFO is the DFO for Livingston. Operator B has been contracted to carry Aberdeen fans to the game from Arbroath. In this case the relevant DFO is the DFO for Aberdeen.

    b. Vehicles are not to stop within 10 miles of the venue either enroute to, or on departure from the event unless prior agreement is obtained from the relevant Dedicated Football Officer.

    c. Unless directed by a police officer, PSVs may stop at premises where intoxicating liquor is sold only if it is sold ancillary to a substantial meal. Prior agreement for meal stops where alcohol is available should be sought from the operator’s relevant Dedicated Football Officer.

    d. PSVs are to arrive at the venue no earlier than two hours before and not later than one hour before the scheduled start of the game, unless otherwise directed by police.

    e. PSVs are not to set down or uplift passengers at any unauthorised locations without prior permission of the police.

    f. PSVs must leave the venue within 30 minutes of the finish of the event, unless directed otherwise by a police officer or ground safety officer.

    g. PSV operators are to follow all reasonable instruction given by police or enforcement officers at all times. This includes, but is not limited to, routing and stopping arrangements.

    h. Intoxicating liquor, flares and similar pyrotechnics, must not be carried on PSVs travelling to or from designated grounds. Operators will draw hirers’ attention to the requirements of the law, and drivers shall, as far as reasonably practical, supervise boarding passengers and check that they are not obviously carrying intoxicating alcohol, flares and similar pyrotechnics. Drivers will not be expected to carry out baggage or body searches, nor will they be expected to confiscate alcohol or to remove passengers without police assistance. Operators may add a condition of entry to the PSV that a voluntary search may be undertaken.

    i. PSV operators are to notify the Dedicated Football Officer at the destination upon arrival at an away football ground, of any chanting demonstrating hostility based on race, ethnicity religion or beliefs, sexual orientation, disability, and transgender identity or chanting of an otherwise grossly offensive or inflammatory nature which had taken place during the journey to the ground.

    j. PSV operators are to have established safeguarding policies when carrying persons under the age of 18 years old. This is to include arrangements for the nomination of at least one responsible adult for the minors carried.

    Am I right that in every game ,apart from Motherwell  ,minutes after Bolton comes on we lose a goal?

    Not quite

    Came on just after Dundee scored, goal 63rd minute - came on the 68th. Played alright from memory

    Didn't concede against Motherwell, he only played a few mins tbf

    Aberdeen equalised just after he came on and Livi scored just after he was subbed on

    I do find it a bit bizarre that we do it every game without fail :lol:

    I would transfer Baccus and any other player who disgraces our Club constantly.

    Baccus renowned for trying to get other players booked by flashing imaginary cards at the referee. And on Sunday he was booked for his cheating diving.

    A horrible person, get rid.
