The Real Zippy Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Following on from the 'First Saints Game' thread and this weekend being derby day then whats your favourite moment? For me - that 3-0 win at Cappielow in November 1995 which avenged the 4-1 taking we had taken at Love Street earlier in the season. Which also was Lavety's first derby game back since his flirtation with taking some disco biscuits. Who can forget Bazza silencing the Greenock fannies in their toilet of a Cowshed with that bicycle kick. And I'm also sure that was the game where Wullie Leggatt sported a gumshield in readiness for the post match boxing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yani Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Mark Yardley's winner in the 3-2 League Cup win at Crappielow back in '02. We were behind, we had a man sent off (McGinty?) then the big man scored what I think was his last goal for us - a glorious solo effort Maradona would've been proud of.

Lord Pityme Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Taking the pish out of Andy Ritchie at any opprtunity. Especially with a Doug Somner rocket of a penalty kick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintstu Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Did Derek Lilley? not score what turned out to be a disallowed goal in the 3-0 game before running past us and kissing the badge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 The 6-3 game where Donny McDowell and their keeper were sent off for some handbag moments. The drunkest I have ever been at a football match. It was New Year's Day and my mate had a bottle of whisky. We were 3-0 down after 30 mins if I remember correctly when the sendings off took place. Then came the comeback with a large slug of whisky taken every time we scored! New Year's night was a total, but happy, blur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Sanchez Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Did Derek Lilley? not score what turned out to be a disallowed goal in the 3-0 game before running past us and kissing the badge? An incident like that happened late on in a draw at Cappielow in 92/3. I thought it was McInnes, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibbles old paperboy Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Winning the lucky programme in the early 80s and getting to meet some of the players and get autographs after the Ne-erday game... think it finished 3-3.

Dirty Sanchez Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Three games into the 84/5 season. Morton are joint top of the league with Aberdeen. Morton 0-4 Saints Saints end up with a UEFA Cup place. Morton get relegated by miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Sanchez Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) That was Derek Collins. I don't know if there's more than one incident here, but the one I'm recalling happened in a game where a knee-sliding 'Dodger presented himself to the Saints fans in the Cowshed, under the impression that he had just scored a late winner...only for it to be disallowed. The new year game in '93 seems to be the one. http://www.stmirrenprogrammes.co.uk/StMirren/STM_Match_Details.php?Season=1992&GameID=2565 Edited December 31, 2015 by Dirty Sanchez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Saint Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Enjoyed the antics of the Paisley Panda before wins around the late 90s. Oot with the shower brush etc. I'm sure he held up a scroll of the league table with saints top at the time too . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 The game TRZ refers to in his opening post but in a different way. Cast your mind back to the last millennium in the days before mobile phones were ubiquitous. I was on holiday with my partner in Fuerteventura we were renting an apartment which was clean but Spartan with no TV (I don't know if it was the norm back then, even now I don't like to watch TV on holiday I like to get away from it all) anyway there was a shop nearby which sold British newspapers two days late so on the Tuesday morning I went into the shop to check the result shull stylee and was delighted to see we'd won 3-0. Just as I was leaving the shop a guy in one of the faux tartan tops they had in the mid-90's obviously with the same idea as me came in, I smiled and said "3-0 to the Saints" and he replied "Yer fuckin' jokin'" and went to check for himself. Never seen him before, never seen him since but I like to think I brought a little misery into his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windae cleaner Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Scottish Cup tie we won 2-0 with MacDougall scoring twice Only when he scored the first you saw there was Saints fans in every part of the ground and easily outnumbered them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Scottish Cup tie at Cappielow en route to winning the cup. Wee Morton ballboy turns and gives Fergie dug's abuse after he (eventually!) rattles in the penalty rebound, then later in the game the wee shite gets wiped out by a Morton player trying to clear the ball off the line. All captured on TV to enjoy again, and again, and again, and.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new year game in '93 seems to be the one. http://www.stmirrenprogrammes.co.uk/StMirren/STM_Match_Details.php?Season=1992&GameID=2565 In the 3-0 game they definitely had a goal disallowed at 0-0. I think Derek Scrimgour was in goals that day. The day Yardley scored was just glorious. Coughlin in temporary charge, 2-0 down at half-time, David Hopkin booked for blowing kisses to the Saints fans, the Morton fans singing "See you next year", Martin Cameron getting one back with a pish header, Simon Lappin's first career goal bursting the net, Brian McGinty being sent off, one of their Aussie brothers being sent off in extra-time than Yards wandering through the defence for his last ever Saints goal sparking what I think the kids these days call "SCENES". Also remember a 5-1 thumping in 92 or 93 where we were three or four up after a quarter of an hour with a couple of goals. The Saints fans were singing "McGraw must stay" at one point to wind up the soapdodgers. Edited December 31, 2015 by Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford prefect Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Falling down the hill at the back of the cowshed, when I decided it was a good idea to go that way to skip the queue waiting to use the stairs. It was in jan 93 1-1. Mcinnes scored for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northstbuddie Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Winning the lucky programme in the early 80s and getting to meet some of the players and get autographs after the Ne-erday game... think it finished 3-3. It was 1 January 1980 and it finished 2-2, with Doug Somner scoring Saints' two goals. It was also the only game played in the premier league that day because of sub-zero temperatures. As DOP's father I got accompanying him to meet Jim Clunie and the players after the game. If Danny Lennon felt hard done to what about the great Jim Clunie - took St Mirren to their highest finish (3rd) in the premier league and then was sacked not long after for his efforts. Suppose that puts him in the same exclusive club as Alex Ferguson.. Jim Clunie was also the greatest uncapped Saints player I have seen in over 60 years of supporting St Mirren.

MarkL Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I remember a cracking game a few years ago down there, we won 3-1 with goals from Jim Dick, Mendes and a belter from Bubbles. Pretty sure they were top of the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 You were definitely drunk. We were 2-0 down. They scored again very late on. LOL. Aye, I wasn't much of a whisky drinker before that and of course we had been partying all night - a mate's (wonderful) girlfriend drove us bunch of drunks down to Greenock and came back for us! Developed a taste for it since that game though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norrie82 Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 There is no doubt the Renfrewshire derby was an intense affair in the 90s. Now tho it has lost its appeal and I suspect most saints fans feel the same. It's a poor stadium and we're still standing on the benches in the middle of winter. Give me typecastle anyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
