stlucifer Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) 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.

buddieup Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 The differences in the run up to this final compared to 3 years ago are incredible. Not only have we sold 50% more tickets than last time, the buzz, spirit and noticeable St Mirren presence around the town is just wonderful to see. Saturday was the first time I'd been in Paisley in around a month and there were loads of banners around the town, good luck messages in windows, etc. Unrecognisable and certainly something I've never really seen before, which in the 20-odd years of being a Buddie is quite something. As much as it is warming, it's a wee bit saddening there wasn't this level of support when we played the former Rangers Football Club plc purely because our town is overrun with their support. There's a different energy about the place, a positivity that has been lacking for far too long. Sunday can't come quick enough. I'm getting butterflies every time I think about the teams walking out at Hampden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

braidmeister Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I had a dream last night that John Robertson scored the third in a three- nil win. He slotted it home after running from the halfway line. I'm not quite confident enough to back this at the bookies though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Saint Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Interesting article in the Herald:- http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/football/dummett-and-newton-are-earning-their-stripes.20478286 Good to know the relationship between saints and nufc is growing. Gutted that there's a fixture clash with a Newcastle game on Sunday. Would've had a few more toon saints up there otherwise. Hope Dummy and Newton come away with winers medals.

Graeme Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Had a nightmare last night - 0-0 at half-time but I couldn't see the pitch - was in a queue to get a hotdog when I found out it was 5-0 to hearts and we were down to 6 men (yes I know). Hopefully it's a good sign - whenever I dream we win we lose. Now feeling sick when I think about the game. Somebody hold me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barney Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 This is such a 50/50 game, winnable for both teams and expectation great on both teams. A display like the one against celtic I think would win us the trophy by a few goals. Fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
