Anyway, the great magical memories of St Mirren are still in my mind. And I will always reminisce. The 1970's and 80's were terrific times to go to matches whether we won or lost. Noticeably, matchday started to go downhill in the 1990's. We had the horrific seating of the North Bank. That killed a bit of my passion. Constant increase in pricing every Season. The disgusting and disgraceful invalidation of Season Tickets for Cup Ties. And many more shite happenings right up until the present day. Now I am thrilled to be out of it.

TediousTom Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 Today I will not be Wynching a lassie at the Kelburne Enjoying folk night at the Brabloch Warching Dan McGarry dribble the arse off of Stanley Matthews. Buying a new telly from Arnotts. Enjoying a Jaconelli's ice cream. Buying new woollen gloves with "SMFC" written accross the knuckles from the club shop in the old Piazza. Not smell of pish Dancing in the Templars or the Co-Op Attending at the Methodist hall to pay my union dues. Heading out to the Elliston grill for lunch, Swimming at the Storrie St baths. Parking my car in Storrie St car park and paying Felix for the pleasure. Playing snooker at Knox St. Watching the Pirates in the ice rink. Booing Cassius Clay from the ring at the ice rink. Serving my country again. Voting Tory. Voting Labour. Joining Smisa. Walking past the Turf tavern, popping in for one more and regretting it. Buying anything from Lews. Referring to pen corner and expecting any of you to know what I am talking about. Having a pish in the public toilets in Dunn square.

Contrary to what many think, the word "soccer" was in fact first used in the UK to describe our beautiful game. It comes from the proper name for the sport. Association football which differentiates from Rugby football. Rugby football was shortened to Rugger and Association football, soccer so, technically Shull is probably more correct in using the word than football as it describes our type of football.

Certainly all the old timers I know call it 'fitba' and never soccer, so I imagine it was just rugby playing toffs that needed to differentiate football from rugby.

Yes it is. If you mean participation, then I believe it's tennis. Inferior? All about opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he not still Casius Clay when he was in Paisley? If anything, he would have been “Cassius”. but mostly to the public and press - he had already announced his name change. this good Buddie article explains it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-43471024 Edited March 28, 2020 by antrin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bathroom place, noo... in’tit? Spent many a Saturday afternoon in there, drinking in the lounge, nipping through to the bar for the results. With the bookies being across the road you'd end up ankle deep in "bust" coupons by 4:55. Sometimes the afternoon would blend into the evening...........................
