stlucifer Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 I have openly criticised the appointment of Jim Goodwin as manager but I have to say, I'm beginning to question my opinion given recent results and last night's performance. He got his tactics bang on and, though the rangers had a lot of possession, they rarely troubled our keeper. He almost nullified Tavernier and we we were more than a match in midfield. One result against the @rse cheeks may not be cause for mayhem but we have now went into double figures of unbeaten so it's clear Goodie's obviously doing something right. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 A lot of the attendances on that site seem way off the mark. I think they are probably a combination of dodgy official attendances and some that are just plain wrong. This game for example I have a vivid memory of the crowd being 27000. http://www.stmirrenprogrammes.co.uk/StMirren/STM_Match_Details.php?Season=1977&GameID=197709170 Also I think they have the crowd for the cup game against United in 1977 as 20,000. I’m convinced it was significantly more than that. Cup game against Celtic in 1980 they have as 27000 but I’m sure the official attendance was 35000. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was our official limit. Cup Tie v Celtic was pay at the Gate therefore 10000 plus above supposed limit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye and there a good few others in that camp too. The whole Goodwin must Go was a complete joke from start to finish, lets hope a few people have learned a lesson but I doubt it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were thousands locked outside. The thing is, when the East terracing was redeveloped, I thought that brought the capacity down to 35000 from what it had been . The ground could not have been more full that night. The ground had a capacity of 53000 at one point but presumably it was never any bigger than it was prior to the East terracing redevelopment?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to get in after about 25 minutes. Should never have happened. We played so well at Parkhead on the Saturday and should have won comfortably.

Me and my pal were right behind the goal in the East terracing which was unusual for us as we’d normally be in the Northbank but it was so busy we couldnae be bothered fighting our way through the crowd. Can still remember vividly being behind the goal when big Dougie missed the penalty and then rattled in the rebound. At the end it was probably the most gutted I’ve been after a football match. Only things that could even come close would be Hammarby and the League Cup final against Rangers. The latter being after I thought I was way past letting a football match ruin my mood for any length of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well apart from a goal or 2 from us Main thing about that game, was unlike Wednesday we didn't have a go, we just sat back almost scared to score and it undid us , we are so much better on the front foot, especially when we have a strong midfield, just need to find a another couple of Franks ( McDougall, McGarvey) and Tony's pipe dream may actually have a chance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopCat Posted December 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Can’t match the 1968 team and go 12 unbeaten, can we? Surely not. Hibs are a good side that are in form and they’re at home. This manager though, this team... something special going on here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 Question..... If Celtic or Rangers win the Scottish Cup will there be an extra league place for the Europa League or will it go to the cup runners up? Also, is the second champions league slot in addition to the 3 Europa League slots or at the expense of one of them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game in hand on all the teams below us.

StanleySaint Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 Did they not change the rules to make sure the european places went to the higher league places rather than cup runners up in case the little clubs embarrassed the SFA by getting thrashed in europe? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
