Esp., after Ballymurphy documentary. Who is glorifying the happenings of Ballymurphy at a football match in Paisley ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esp., after Ballymurphy documentary.The IRA caused more atrocities against all walks of life in N.I than anyone. The point I’m making is the vile singing in OUR stadium & nothing is said about it plus I never shot or killed anyone [emoji6]So Ballymurphy has feck all to do with me.

lovestlegend Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Used to be offended by their songs about IRA, UDA etc. Last night I just felt embarrassed for them.

Tommy Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Apart from the singing, were there any problems after the game with both sets of fans leaving at the same time, since this was 1 of the issues with them getting this stand ?

The state of the streets around the stadium were a disgrace as well. At least the white dog sh*ts not as dirty looking as the brown stuff.

However, you serving in the British army has absolutely nothing to do with the matter and nothing to do with St Mirren. Point noted on the flag, thanks. I shall remember to tell people to shove their Union Flag up their arse in future. I'd contend that anyone who walked around as a paid servant of our country at risk of being killed by Irish terrorists of either persuasion and who may well have seen comrades killed or hurt has a right to be upset, as well as explain the reasons why, when he hears that shit from scum who support a perceived causefrom the last century that they would never actually fight for themselves.

I don't feel easy with the we're making money out of them line that is trotted out either. I'm well aware it's extra revenue but at what cost? I'll always go to the home games but i don't enjoy them and it doesn't help when you're hearing it from our family stand. It's definitely putting off families coming, these are our future fans. I think our board are doing a good job overall but this is one decision by GS and TF that i'm 100 % against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While doing my training one of my Argyll colleagues was shot in the head by a sniper while taking a soldiers family member to hospital. I got spat by republicans during the hunger strikers fiasco. I have every right to be offered & upset by their chants. Soldiers originally went over there to protect the catholic community but were soon turned on. Wish I never posted this thread now but that’s my story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should come out and say that if they want both stands in future there can be no repeat. If it happens next time that's it, one stand only. Of course we all know this won't happen we will just lube up, bend over and take the OF boaby with all the filth that comes with it. It is shameful but we are no different to the other 38 complicit clubs in this pervese little country ! BTW a wee announcement over the pa might have been a decent idea. At the very least it would ensure the authorities and TV could not use their selective deafness excuses.

norman Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 I just thought the Celtic fans behaviour was quite weird. The ones in the family stand didn't actually sing a single football or Celtic song as far as I could hear. They never actually backed their team the way we did. I don't know how much that would affect the players in reality, but if you are going to support a team, you might as well support it rather than turn up and spend 90 minutes singing about things that happened before you were even born in a different country. It's just odd as much as anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to move on guys for sure. I don't want to hear them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of a fight outside Main Stand at the end but soon sorted out by the Polis. There were a right few dodgy characters in the MS last night.Turned out they were the Saints Fans relocated from the Family Stand. I would put a stop to the ugly sisters fans bringing in drums.
