Best boozers?

Heard O’Halloran, Allan, McCann and Todd stayed behind to try teeing up Jakubiak for a goal into an empty net after the game but they gave up and fucked off by 3am.

The relentless seethe from the home end is utterly hilarious.

Posted this in the View from the Terrace thread on the latest episode, which featured a segment on the Spartans Ultras, and thought I’d just copy it in here. Your Club and community looks to have some special people involved. Fantastic piece on the Spartans ultras. The Youth Work manager is doing an incredible job to promote the young lads to get so involved, not only in the match day experience but to have such an active role in the Club and in the community will have an unmeasurably positive influence on the young people and the wider community. It was great to see the young lads involved in the filming as well, talking about what they do and the sense of purpose it brings them. It would be easy, and I’m probably somewhat guilty of this myself at times, to view these lads as ‘wannabes’ who might be getting themselves involved in not-so-pro-social activities outwith, but to hear their motivation for moving away from that kind of lifestyle whilst still having the ‘casuals’ vibe is heartwarming and inspirational. Quite emotional typing that actually, well done all involved.

Kane-Richie Hosler and Matty Todd are 2 of our best and most influential players. Our captain went off at half-time and another CH off in the second half. Ben Summer was also missing and has put in a couple of MOTM performances so far this season.

That would be a good point if we fielded anywhere near a full strength team ourselves.

We’ve fairly fingered them for a good chunk of that half, but it feels like we’re just one mistake away from a Rovers goal. Expecting a quick start to the second half from them.

Have you ever seen them showing sections of empty seats at Celtic Park or Ibrox?

If you have a dug shut the f**k up and keep it to yourself. Some of us might get jealous. Especially on a day like this.

Game off.

Brilliant news. Another win-win in either keeping a good player for a couple of years and watching him progress even further or make a few quid off him.

Glad we’re not overreacting.

Did Fowler say he’s from Glasgow?

Aye I said as well that the outfield players will all have to earn their place again in the starting lineup, even though they’re all either the most talented or influential in the squad. It’s hard to watch performances like that yesterday and pick 4 players who don’t deserve to start again. Mehmet is the only one I would say is a certainty about getting his place back straight away. Bene likely will as well, being captain and that, but it would be harsh to drop anyone from yesterday. Just saw McCann’s near Puskas contender back, the confidence that boy is playing with is fantastic to see, absolutely gutted for him that that didn’t go in, after the free kick at Hampden and that effort yesterday he must feeling pretty fucking good right now. Really pleased he got himself a goal though.

Good effort from both sets of fans. 5 left in the Cowden end and you’d expect that last section to be opened and likely 100 or so sold of that. Looks like there’s less than 50 in the main stand and maybe 200 in the Norrie (excluding the front few rows).

No issue leaving the car up there.

I’m absolutely fucking seething at how easy this is making it for wee VLs down south to keep giving it the tinpot/farmer patter.

A good lesson in trying to just stay goal side of your man instead of dishing out bear hugs for a laugh.

In a box chants after GSTQ

I’m sure Murray played at wing back for us (away to Thistle just before lockdown?) and was surprisingly absolutely fine.

This c**t kens.

I know football fans are fickle and you really shouldn’t be so gooey eyed over something so trivial, but this team is just so fucking loveable. The connection between the players and fans feels really special. They play in maroon mate.

McPake is being quite vocal about being fucked off at Fisher who didn’t mention having the squits until a few minutes into the second half last night, citing it as a lack of leadership. Maybe not since it was a Tuesday night, but I wonder if that led to one of his infamous 2am-post-six-cans-of-Stella texts the Dundee fans told us about.

I thought it was a pretty horrendous blunder when they still had Michael Paton in there till I realised he’s a player/coach at Albion.
