St.Ricky Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) Most of us have a pre match routine. Mine starts with scanning the papers on line for any mention of Saints or their opponents using News Now. Then on to the scarf, hat and glovescheck. Then listening to Off the Ball on the journey. Arrive. Either go to1877 for a coke or sit and listen to Sportsound. 2.40 Enter the ground. Buy Buddies Steak Pie and Diet Coke. Take my seat and catch the end of the warm up session. Always stand-up when the players reappear for the game. Simple.. Boring perhaps... But... If I hadn't done these for every game this season then of course Saints wouldn't have won the league as things would have gone wrong. What's your routine. On players I heard that DVZ ensured that he wouldn't be crap in a game by going for 1 immediately before the game started.

shull Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Just had a quick check of content of Ricky's obsessed critics. Absolutely next to nothing to write home about Leave Rick alone.

shull Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 I am a bit obsessive myself. Got to pass the old Love Street before every home match at Greenhill Road. Even if it means taking diversions to do it as sometimes coming into Paisley from different directions. Usually, off M8 at Airport. Head for Love Street. Respectful nod of head as I pass. Then to West End to pick up my wee daughter. Off to Greenhill Road. Will continue routine, even after houses are built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornwall_Saint Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Mines were quite boring. I had three scarfs and would swap over to a different one every time we lost the last game. That and making sure I always got a Scotch Pie at whatever ground we would be playing at that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always had the same scarf for decades. Received for my birthday on April 19th 1977 for a certain match that night. Last seen tied to the Love Street Gates in January 2009. Also, every home match at Love Street, I would stand at the back of the North Bank Choir, having coffee and a smoke, while soaking up the atmosphere before taking my seat at 2.55.

Callum Gilhooley Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Not quite a pre match ritual , more of a superstition . Lost my scarf at the 4-1 Ton game and bought a new one before the Dundee Utd game which we played superb and won comfortably . During the game i spilled Bovril on it resulting in a yucky stain (on the white bit of course ! ) My wife kept saying she would shove it in the wash and the stain would come out ..... NOT A CHANCE !! The scarf stayed well clear of the washing machine and the stain stayed till the end of the season . Lets see what next season brings , hopefully my scarf stain continues to bring us luck. Coz it was defo all down to my scarf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaside Nipper Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Bet on us losing in order to soften the blow of defeat. I see it as my way of buying us a win [emoji6] So either way I’m a win win. Perfectly logical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Good player) I must query this. Was this a quick push it out and wipe up, or did he leave the warm up early to get maximum effectiveness from his crap?
