Callum Gilhooley Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) I have been working in Northern Ireland this week . Today I was working North of Antrim up to Ballymoney ,at lunch time I dropped into a wee place called Bellaghy for a bite to eat . The guy serving me , hearing the accent enquired where I was from , when I said Paisley , next question was which team ... as usual ! When I said Saints, he looked surprised. “pop your head into that office over there and tell them who you support “ Turns out the guy in the office is an organiser for the Belfast youth football group who visited us a couple of weeks back , he was singing the clubs praises , said the youngsters were given the whole package and treated like kings . Particularly singled out TF for praise saying he had the young uns captivated with his stories and enthusiasm. The lads have asked if they can wear .St.Mirren strips next season !! At times it is easy to become disillusioned with our club and sometimes things seem bleak , but it’s good to remind ourselves we can occasionally do things right Well done to all involved.

DougJamie Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) We do tend to be blinkered at times, but its been the most bizzare last 6 years, we have hit heights and depths and yet still find ourselves a top level club albeit bottom. We just dont do boring But great post Callum, reminds us all what actually makes a football club is far more than just wek to week results Great post Edited March 1, 2019 by DougJamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a stint in Bellaghy when I was in the army, mentioning that place brought back memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
