Wilbur Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 1 hour ago, Isle Of Bute Saint said: When I was a young lad I heard older men telling me I used to follow St Mirren, I would ask why don't you go any more ? Answer would be they never put money back into the team. Here I am heading for 60 been going to see Saints since 6 years of age with my dad. There are painful lows magical highs and everything in-between supporting St Mirren. Wednesday was very painful a realisation we will be relegated came over me. It won't stop me supporting St Mirren I feel part of the club a big part of who I am a love that will never die. It's not for everyone hope you find what you are looking for. In which direction, IOBS ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santaponsasaint Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 I've supported saints for 40 years going to my first game at 5 years old and drawing 3-3 with Partick Thistle that day. I have no ever wanted or felt like supporting any other club. I have a Saints tattoo and had followed them everywhere my whole life. Been great moments and difficult moments but the whole journey has been big part of my life. This season i bought my season ticket but have really struggled to motivate myself to go missing loads of games home and away not even looking for the score till after full-time. I'm totally disillusioned with the club, how its run and Scottish football in general. Anybody else feel like this? honestly cannot see me renewing my ticket next season or going back anytime soon. For a club bought by fans its sure is run in a strange manner...Everything you said is how Im feeling. SPFL are only interested in the bigot brothers. Refs. The idiots who run Scottish football. Plastic pitches. Pro game with amateur facilities and run by incompetent FOOLS. So I'm very disappointed in Scottish football now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only part I disagree with is the amateur facilities. Scottish football is run for the good of the bigot brothers, but then it always has been. Our top league is too small, because Sky/Sevco/SFA etc need 4 games every season against their green business partners. This transfer window sums up everything that is wrong with the game. Panic loan signings by all three clubs facing relegation. As I keep banging on about, the top league should have 18-20 clubs, so that clubs are encouraged to bring in their own young up and coming talent. The price for relegation is too high at present Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest it's more a mid life crisis than anything Saints related !!!!!! That was my thought! Not being funny "gstretchuk" but if you are lacking motivation maybe you should look at things away from Saints and football? It's our first season back in the Premier League for a while, as badly as its going its not exactly the time to be losing all interest and motivation. Club is run ok, could be better. Scottish football is actually in very good health. Its the highest supported league in all of Europe per head of population, and Celtic & Sevco are at least beatable and being challenged. I'd also rather they f**ked off to England mind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now were a laughing stock. Plastic pitches are a cancer in the game. People who run the SPFL/SFA are amateur at best. Sky only interested in the league to get 4 bigot games a season when there should be only 2. So our league can't expand cos it's stunted by sky. They dictate how many teams are the SPL. Money corrupts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Lothian Saint Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) I was a little bit morose on Wednesday and pretty pessimistic about playing the Arabs but it's Friday now. Tickets for match and Train secured. 12 O'clock meet in the pub tomorrow and we're on our way. Just when you least expect it, Saints will turn up and we'll be on our way to the next round of the cup. I'll keep taking the tablets. Edited February 8, 2019 by East Lothian Saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
