Hendo Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 1 hour ago, St.Ricky said: Willy Colum is the Referee for Saturday. Makes sure that things will be interesting! If it is pishing down and the pitch gets waterlogged I wonder if he'll replicate his performance when we played Ross County as he walked round the pitch for 20 minutes bouncing a ball. One of his worst examples of his 'look at me' behaviour we've seen. On the bright side, he was the ref 10 years ago when we beat them 1-0 thanks to McGinns goal, so maybe that's an omen. He is a religious education teacher in a Catholic school, so he should hate them more than he hates us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never have been as far as SMFC supporters are concerned. They are to their own bigots though. They would fill the whole stadium if we gave them the tickets. I doubt you will find one of our fans who would go because it's one of the two cheeks we are playing. I'd go further. I hate the games against them so much that if you offered me a free ticket for a game v either cheek or a game v Hamilton I'd take the Hamilton one every time.

Lizard King Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Agree with this ^^^ Unfortunately there is no 'pull factor' for tomorrow's game. We should be actively trying to get families to watch the games as they will ultimately be the next generation of Saints supporters but instead we kick them out the family stand, even charge them for tickets despite them being season ticket holders, take away their pre match entertainment and panda club... Oh aye, plus charging kids 17 Quid a ticket! Charging kids £17 is a f**king scandal. FFS St Mirren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying Saints fans used to turn up in the past just because we were playing the Blue Bigots ? The other way round I am guessing. Saints fans would boycott matches with them and against Celtic due to the sectarian vermin polluting our Stadium. Both scum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trick is trying to spot the likelihood. At 11/1 this would be a SHOCK and very lucrative. We were similar against Celtic, at half time we were 18/1 and I had a wee bet so I'll hang off and see how the game goes tomorrow. St Mirren have went from 11/1 to 14/1, indicated plenty are betting on Rangers. Even Rangers at -2 are only 7/4, spoil sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we were the same against Celtic, we definitely were 18/1 before they had a player sent off as I ventured a wee bet as it was worth a wee punt. Imagine what we'd be at Ibrox.

You would hate yourself if we did the unthinkable and won and you weren't actually THERE at the ground. TV is a pale substitute for the real thing. I hear you, but I have taken the decision not to go as I do not want my kids exposed to their vile sectarian bile. I do not understand how the two ugly sisters get away with it - at every match, home and away. Forget about legal challenges, dock them points. It’s the only way we’ll stamp this out.

I would personally be happy with that too. Dock points or eject them from a cup competition. A great shame, in the real sense, that people like yourself have to make a call on it.

Some will, plenty, as the odds suggest, will bet on Rangers. As I've mentioned, there's always shocks, 14/1 would be a SHOCK, the draw at 9/2 is less of a shock.
