Dare Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 The last season and a half have been awesome and a real high for all Buds - Jack Ross deserves all the plaudits that have come his way as for me he has given us our club back. The cup win in 2013 great as it was just papered over the cracks for me as we were on a bit of a downward spiral even then - Isma, Dummett and Newton saved our season. This years squad have been brilliant and regardless of what transpires at the end of this season they will have written their own piece of history. Lets finish with a bit of style and show how good a side we are. As always COYS ...... let’s f#cken do this mob ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munoz Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Looking forward to today's game. I think we'll be back to more or less our strongest starting eleven with the exception of McGinn. Can see the players being fully committed and desperate for the win this. I hope this is the case as I can't face losing another bet to a manky Ton fan in my work . 4-1 Saints.

I know exactly what you are saying - yet I think you might enjoy spending more money (yours plus interest) on other things while you could still consider who you might bet on without risking any funds and still have some enjoyment in that too... The reality is that many folk are not in control and that is dreadful for them and often their families etc. Many people think that at the heart of gambling is a kind of getting hundreds of thousands of people to throw their £5 or £10's etc. into the middle and just a few getting £30 or £80 or sometimes even more back while the rest have been stiffed - and they, the Bookies, walk away with millions... it is a social evil praying on many peoples desire to win or have or gain "riches" - I have regularly seen the damage this does. Anyway - don't want to get too moral or cause anyone any offence. I don't want to spoil anyone's "fun", I am just not a fan of the gambling industry precisely because of the damage it does to many...

We have not beaten the Soap Dodgers all season... We have 3 players out today and are only playing for bragging rights, while they still have an outside chance of the play-offs.. I suspect as always, the Bookies have the decks stacked in their favour... Nevertheless I hope we do finally beat them today......

FTOF Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) 4 hours ago, Kemp said: Fair play to the Morton fans who actually are coming. It's not their fault they majority of their manky brethren have shat it. Piss poor from the club / powers that be / both (delete as appropriate) to not be able to segregate today and get more Buddies in. The only thing I can see that the club be brought to task for is not to include two toilet blocks and two catering outlets in the plans when the away stand was constructed, and even that is stretching it. There's no way that you could have St.Mirren fans and unwashed fans in the same stand without secure segregation . Without two toilet blocks and two catering blocks this simply isn't possible. So no, it's not "piss poor" by the club at all. Edited April 21, 2018 by FTOF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes almost evens, and I'm aware that the league is over but I fully expect close to our strongest team today and I also think the manager and players will want to win this game. I did have cash on Falkirk midweek for opposite reasons to the above, we fielded a reserve side, and that produced a nice 4/1 return. It's a gamble, not a certainty, not a lot to lose and a wee bit of cash/enjoyment if I win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we will have a few players who have been key missing through injury or suspension. Never might a loss to Morton feel so good with the Trophy in waiting! Even better of we beat them!

According to Jack in the PDE, the only player definitely out injured is Eckersley. Reilly was taken off injured on Tuesday, but might make the bench apparently. I'm unaware of a third injured mystery player. Otherwise all is well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
