Magic Monkey Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 On the train back to Newcastle now. No voice left, I might need a few days for today to sink in. At the final whistle I just sank to my haunches and had a little cry. Can't look at the match forensically at this stage, but Newton, Gowser, Thommo, Teale and McGinn were all immense. I'm drained. I f**king love St Mirren. I f**king love you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Fantastic day today and what a difference from the last final at Hampden - not just the win versus disappointment, but in the atmosphere - there were not 40 police lined up segregating the fans in the car park on the way in, Saints & Hearts fans walked freely amongst each other on the way in and out, and there were even a few we passed after the game who stopped to say congratulations. What a difference when there are no ugly sisters involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codfish Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 The whole day has felt like such a blur - was only 9 months old in 87, and THAT game still sends shivers down my spine. Thought we looked scared for the first half-hour, and we should've been out of sight. But if your auntie had baws..... Wee John McGinn was wonderful, Conor Newton had his best game for us, Gowser was back to the Gowser of last season, but no-one let us down. So proud to be a Buddie, and can't wait to rub it in folk's faces tomorrow at work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearsden buddie Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Just back, cannot believe we actually won that, hasn't really sunk on yet. The players looked too nervous at the start but once we settled down we were fabulous, couldnt have asked for anymore from each and every one of them. Thought I would never see us win major trophy and can't believe it has actually happened, just brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartcos1970 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 We are here for a short time in life.....but we will always be buddies. And to the hearts fan we met after the game thanks for the beer. A gentleman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Magnificent, wonderful, did it the hard way. Were nervous, rabbits caught in headlights, went 1-0 down, then every last one of them raised their game, calmed down, played good football and scored three magnificent goals. Credit to Hearts, their team played with big hearts (no pun intended) and they were a credit to their club. We were better. We had even bigger hearts. Absolutely goddam magnificent. Pwoud, vewy pwoud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renfrewbud Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Great day 3 brilliant goals so proud of the players and fans, don't think it has sunk in yet can't wait to see the game again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Banjos Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 A bit fortunate the game wasn't over in the first half hour, but 3 brilliant goals and some stout defending saw us through. Incredible to see history being made. Were discussing at half time how Isma's goal was the first goal we'd scored in normal time in a cup final since 1959. 64 years! I knew that when we had Thompson, McGowan and Teale contracted for 2 seasons that we'd have a chance of winning a national trophy. It was an absolute master-stroke from Lennon to find Goncalves and Newton to complement who we already had. Thanks to Danny and the boys. A really memorable day for so many people and families who have been brought together by that club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint in exile Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Just back in Dublin. A few Buddies on the flight and a dozen or so at the airport. Thoroughly enjoyed the day. We had some great crack with the Hertz fans before the game - just the way it should be! Thank god the ugly sisters were absent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W6Saint Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 What an unforgettable day. Well Done everyone; Players, Manager, Fans, Tea Lady, Open-Top Bus Driver...feck it, let's thank everyone. This is why we support this great Club. Days like this. Where are the doubters now? This is OFFICIALLY the Best Saints Team in 26 years AND the Best Manager in 26 years, regardless of what anybody says. So proud, happy, buzzing, excited, etc. Nearly burst into tears at all the goals but especially Newton's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
car-d bud Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Brilliant to stand with my son,daughter and 2 nephews. Daily they need to listen to friends who follow the bigot brothers decry them about following St Mirren, a so called diddy team. Stand proud in school this week,hold your heads high, your time has come ............St Mirren are back. We BELIEVED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

class of 76-77 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Words fail me but here goes, to have witnessed such a momentous cup final win with my 2 sons is something to treasure for life. The scenes when the open top bus parade went through the town were quite incredible. The game itself was won with 3 beautiful strikes that will live long in the memory banks. Connor Newton scores his first goal for the club and it wins us the cup for the first time in our proud history, magnificent effort from Connor and a magnificent day to remember from all the players and staff, you done us proud and we the fans are proud to be buddies.
