lovestlegend Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 In the pubs and around the ground it was bouncing before kick off and up until we scored. And then it all went strangely flat, both on and off the park. But another win chalked up and hopefully we’ll finish the job on Tuesday.

I think many of those there today were too focussed on how Livvy were getting on rather than what was going on on the park. It certainly was very flat for long periods .

Felt that from midway through the first half, too many "supporters" forgot to support, on phones, talking about the Livingston game, hard to be sure but could easily have got to the team although that's up to the manager to sort. Certainly a very disappointing 2nd half, never seemed to get out of 2nd gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud the Baker Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Scrappy game with everyone, players included, having one ear & eye on the Livi score. Bit of an anti-climax in the end. Would've been nice too clinch it today as I'm working midweek but we'll be able to celebrate the next two Saturdays! Respect to the old dude in the red jacket & baseball cap!

HSS Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 I had a wee bet on 6-0 and 7-0. I realised with ten mins to go I wasnt going to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Sanchez Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) I loved the stewards making their way along the hedge pre-match systematically letting everyone know that it was OK to invade the pitch at the end. There was also a steward specifically directing people behind the terracing for a pish up the wall, rather than bother with the hassle of seeking out a proper toilet. I don't think either will apply at Tuesday's game. Edited April 7, 2018 by Dirty Sanchez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSS Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Had a great day out.....despite driving. Stopped off at Auchterarder for 2nd half of Manx derby. Hit the Swan once car was dumped. Enjoyed my day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam M Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Deflated we didn't win it officially. But one point and we are champions. A year ago we were out celebrating we were in the bloody league. Hats off to Brechin home supporters who welcomed us with open arms when the segregation got lifted. They wanted to take videos and pictures of us and kept congratulating us on our season. It's now in our hands. I'm working Tuesday and working on Wednesday. I can't wait to walk into work as a supporter of this great team, as champions.

Bud the Baker Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) Strange train home last night - 8:10 pm at Paisley.............. There were Rangers fans - loud and obnoxious. Killie fans - loud. 3 Aberdeen fans (honest) - loud. me - for once I chose to be quiet as I was sitting beside a pretty lady. Not sure if it was the Rangers or Killie fans who (literally) couldn't hold their drink but by the time we got to Prestwick the floor was swimming!

Cornwall_Saint Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 It's a shame about the Livingston result but at least we did it on our side. United officially can't catch us now, and Livingston need everything from now to go their way. We are nearly there... I do feel sorry for Brechin, they've ran us tight in all four matches, and ran many others close too. Their 4pts doesn't really do them justice, hopefully they can sneak a win before the season finishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomsons dropped it Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 As others have said the hospitality up at Brechin was first class, stewards very helpful and the Soup at the Shop was braw. Saints did what they had to and grabbed the three points, we do it by ourselves at Tannadeechee in a couple of days. It was a last minute decision to go down to the game from Inverness. I will NEVER EVER go that road over the Lecht and Cairn o’ Mount again. F**k sake, I was almost car sick for the first time in many a year. Went home via Forfar ,Blairgowrie, Dunkeld and the up the A9. Doddle and a great quiet flat run up the road. I’ll be at Tannadice on Tuesday, shoot down from Aberdeen form my new Monday to Friday job....Easy. Flat road . COYS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemp Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Its very difficult to understand how Brechin can only have 4 points at this stage. Lacking killer instinct around the box I guess, but they seem a decent side. Huge and noisy travelling support that went quiet as soon as Livingston started scoring. A really strange atmosphere in the end. I'd like to see Reilly starting again on Tuesday, Mullen hasn't done enough to take his place in my opinion.

proudtobeabuddy Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Great day out and wasn't spoiled by the unwashed not playing their part because it will be an even better feeling winning it against Dundee Utd at their own ground.

Same in the Town.Every pub/shop we were in people were genuinely nice to us.A few businesses in Paisley should go up there and learn about good customer relations. Also went into Auchterarder on way home to watch 2nd half of Manx derby.Another lovely,friendly little Town. Made up for driving all day when I got home.

East Lothian Saint Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) Well, that was a interesting experience, first time since Raith Rovers pumped us 2-0 at Kirkcaldy and the Billy the fish, throw out, catastrophe, that I travelled to a match by car. I was picked up in Stirling by my usual drinking bud who was behind the wheel and I thought it was only fair to encourage his temperance by staying of the Drink too. Brechin was bouncing when we arrived early and rather than sit in the ground for an hour and a half we went exploring. Got as far as stables Bar, met some buds outside and sort of, got dragged in. Apparently, all the pubs in Brechin were bouncing and Stables was no exception. Inside and out Buds were everywhere, and large queues were evident at the various bars inside. We found a wee bothy bit at the back where the Brechin Fans were drinking, and the temperance plan was amended to just one pint. The Brechin guys were sound. “Morton Fans are scum.” We were told Morton fans had smashed the pub window on their last visit and were no longer welcome. United in our recognition that Morton were bad news, we were made very welcome but warned not to use the F word in their company. “Fur f**ks sake don’t use the F word please” they all said. Who would have thought Forfar was a sweary word? At the ground, After one pint, (don’t tell my Bud I sneaked a second) I was met by a very nice steward who gave me directions to the club bar. I never even asked him, but I must have looked desperate. Unfortunately, my driving Bud put the Kybosh on that idea and from 2.30pm onward I sat in the stand and soaked up the Atmosphere. I hate to use the F word, but the atmosphere was, as many have said, Flat. It was flatter than the tyre of the bus that punctured on the A9. The game was a bit of a non-event and once again Morton brought bad news, but on the Bright side we got three points and we get to do it all again on Tuesday. Normal service will be resumed on Tuesday. Public transport, Pubs and Parties will be back on the agenda and the atmosphere will be super charged. The stewards won’t be as friendly, and Dundee with their “Get your Drum to Feck” approach might not be as welcoming as Brechin, but We have a history of winning League titles in Dundee and on Tuesday night we’ll make history there again. Tuesday Night is Champions League Night and we shall be Championies Championies! Championies! Ole! Ole! Ole! Championies! Championies! Ole! Ole! Ole!
