If that had of been any other outfield player where would be no question. The goalie left the safety of his area to go for a 50/50 ball and made the foul , poor refereeing caused the yellow card as well as the goalies play acting. If toyosi had of pulled out everyone would have been questioning his desire, the ball was there to be won. The fact that the goalie got up after being "almost killed" ran back to his area before running back to take the free kick showed it was all bullshit. The ref was conned , not so much on some of the others as he could have easily gone with red for our goalies one. I’ve not manage to catch any footage of the Olusanya yellow, does it exist anywhere ?

I know plenty of people who "thought" they were Celtic or Rangers supporters as primary children who embraced the buddies and plenty more who moved from an area where they grew up to embrace the local team. All valid supporters and welcome at the ground. I agree that, in most kids formative years it seems that the emphasis is on the ersecheeks so it would be hard for a young child not to get drawn in a sort of allegiance to one or other if their parents are not died in the wool local club supporters. This obviously stems from media coverage, fair or not, and success on the pitch. I made the mistake of not directing my own son toward the light due to the amount of time I spent working away and he ended up favouring one of them. (Not to the extent of actual supporting financially). If I tell you he grew up in the late eighties and into the nineties you could work out it was the "deed club" due to their stranglehold on success during the majority of that time. As time goes by, some grow and find an affinity with their community club and turn away from the dark side, deciding instead to support a club for club's sake and NOT due to success or an underlying bigotry that, no matter what those Glasgow clubs say, celtic and rangers clandestinely support while, on the surface, condemning the behaviour. The more that take this path, the better for Scottish football. IF you don't want to read all that then, quite simply, you're correct!

They were bound to say that. They had loads of chances and squandered some with our back line dealing with the rest. We had few chances and scored one. Catty comments about our style of play just sounds like desperation. Possession is one thing but it’s nothing without goals. Tie is wide open!

It was attack v defence, most of the game, but we played our defensive part well while they fell a little short in their final attack mode.

My father 'supported' the deed club, I say supported, never went and I assume the loose allegiance stemmed from the underlying societal bigotry, my uncle took me to Love St when I was 7 and that was that, almost 53 years later still my first love. So, despite his own preference I was allowed to follow my own path by my dad, in his defence he was at both the 59 and 87 cup finals and his last ever match was a Saints game so I like to think he was being drawn back from the dark side.

Swiss_Saint Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 the video has a perfect angle showing clearly that the ref was a f**kwit and should have listened to his linesman who saw it clearly, if anything it was Toy that was fouled!!!

Someone dm’d me the clip & I’ve now watched Eastlands post. Absolute f**king joke of a booking . Goalie was a cheating prick and should have been the recipient of a yellow card & the officials were useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Churchill Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 I guess St. Mirren has already done that. It won't help however, since UEFA are not known for taking criticism very well. IF you go through tomorrow and if Toyosi gets another yellow card, he'll be excluded for the match against Astana. To be honest, the chances are slim for both incidents to occur.

Churchill Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 All you need is a draw and some luck in the pen shoot out, and the odds on an equal result is not that bad. I must however warn you about "parking the bus", as Brann are very good at playing passes in and around the opponents box. Then you'll loose for sure.

No sitting on the fence with me Sir.. As the lads on here will tell you I've often been accused of being far to positive on this site when it comes to the world famous Paisley Stmirren fc. A extreme opposite from elvis one of our more negative posters.. I'm feeling more and more confident the nearer we get to kick off.. so much so I've just dipped the wife's purse and stuck the lot on a 3-0 away win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
