St Mirren is part owned by a Millionaire, a charity with cash reserves and a supporters group with cash reserves. 10 grand won't break any of them There are are a lot of people in more need of our help and I'd urge anyone with spare cash to use it wisely and as they see fit 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s great to see that great and not so good of Scottish football getting behind this campaign. These include Eddie Smith (ref), Alex Rae, Josh Heaton, Neil Doncaster and Gunni Torfason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Smith !!!!! That cheating Celtic supporting prick, brother-in-law of the late Phil O'Donnell, who awarded a free kick to Celtic when Nakamura committed the foul, and Nakamura scored to beat us 1-0. That Eddie Smith ??? I wouldn't take a penny from that pox-ridden arse wipe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosport Buddie Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 (edited) On Saturday afternoon before the games, Tom English said Kilmarnock reached their £5000 target in an hour.

antrin Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 It's not competitive. Are Killie fans also in the process of "buying" their club? I'm not happy with the idea of collecting money to give to the wankers that run Scottish fitba. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not happy with the idea of collecting money to give to the wankers that run Scottish fitba. Not as far down the line, but doing well. https://www.thekillietrust.com/ I understand your POV and it’s everyone’s individual choice. I’m saving on fuel and beer costs through not going to games. I’m even getting to watch away games at lower costs than normal. Every little helps. Just remember we were fined £25,000 by SFA for not fielding enough u21 outfield players against Spartans even though our goalkeeper was u21 at the time. Who’s to say that Saints did not plan to play him outfield that day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can remember, you need to declare a goalkeeper on the team sheet.Not sure if they could have declared an overage player as the sub goalkeeper and played the U21 if the need arose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem was that a Saints U21 player didn't count (with the other 3 U21s in the required 4(?) ) even though he was U21 and actually playing in the match and not on the Bench. That was going with the law - not the spirit of the law which was "intended to get U21s more exposure to the top level" - by them sitting on a bloody bench! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I remember most about that kerfuffle was every Spartans representative shoehorning "We don't want St. Mirren expelled from the tournament" when speaking to the media - not much they didn't!
