foxbar_bud Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Aye - drawing fouls isn't cheating in my book. Diving is, it that's an entirely different thing. Loy was very effective in drawing fouls for us last season, and we benefited from plenty of dead ball opportunities as a result. Few complained then. To be fair, only one seems to be complaining now..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russian Saint Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Prediction..."Sutton is an (insert adjective of choice) too then" [emoji767] ShSutton used his experience to gain us an advantage.There was actually minimal contact but he drew it and earned the free kick.I have no problem with that. Me neither. But my point is, there are people on here would bring back hanging for players of opposing teams that gain an advantage unfairly. As I said, it happens with every team, St Mirren included.St Mirren fans are biased towards St Mirren, I get that. But some supporters need to take the blinkers off before judging players from other teams when Saints players do, or would do the same.

What about that Hippo character?He could be an outstanding footballer if he concentrated on football instead of trying to gain an advantage.(cheat) I wouldn't want him anywhere near a St Mirren strip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russian Saint Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Agreed. That's maybe why he's at Falkirk and not a bigger club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are times when he would have the advantage if he went by a player but still prefers to go down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Probably in the minority hear but I'm fine with players cheating. My favourite individual act of cheating would be Charlie Adam's handball goal against Clyde in the 2005/06 season when we were 1-0 down - critical point in the season, if we'd lost that match we'd have lost the momentum of the CC win the week before and things might have turned out very differently. Graham Roberts meltdown in the papers the following day just added to my pleasure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kind of thing I'm talking about is Kyle Lafferty pretending that Aberdeen player nutted him when the Aberdeen player did no such thing. If a St Mirren player did that I'd be hugely disappointed. Hippolyte is a clear and serial diver. Talented guy too, shame he resorts to that kind of pish. I guess we all take a subjective view on what constitutes blatant diving / cheating... or what constitutes 'drawing a foul'. It's a grey area....unlike the space between Shull's ears.

div Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 At the end of the day I really don't generally mind giving opposition players abuse. I'd much rather that than giving our own lads pelters.I do think though that we should be better than abusing a guy whilst he's lying on the ground clearly injured.And I also think players who did well for us in the last deserve a wee bit of respect when they return, unless they shat on us before they left. Like Mendes did for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Loy got a great reception leaving the field though like the rest of the Falkirk players looked a bit shocked at the way we came back at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not from me he never. No abuse either mind you, just sat quietly and watched him leave the park. Then Lee Miller came on and a steward reminded me about my language...

Was in the main stand I sit bear the tunnel everyone around me was clapping him off. Still what a score would never have guessed that before the game.

What you're saying is that Saints has 1000 million supporters and all but one if them are better than that. This is news to me, I knew I supported a good club but until now I didn't realise we were such a big club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr rotund Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Whilst i agree that personal abuse i a no no i can't see what all the fuss is about. I personally stop bothering about players when they leave our club. Two guys shout abuse at rival player, i'm sure he'll cope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
