    I'm guessing you're just choosing to ignore the part where he clearly says 'European place is the aim' whilst tempering things a bit and easing off on the anxiety of his squad.

    Or you reckon as a man-manager, he'd be better served saying 'Europe or bust, if bust then they can all GTF' and really add to the stress?

    The bit in bold italics is the job of the West Bank and Gentleman’s Pavilion, certainly not the St Mirren management.

    C**ts on roundabouts again.

    Approaching the Broxden roundabout from the Dundee/M90 direction, c**t in the right hand lane beside me cuts right across my nose as we enter the roundabout and goes left toward Stirling. In what world do you approach a roundabout in the right lane to turn left?

    In the world of Cumbernauld for one.

    Martin Scorcese has offered you the role as stunt double for the guy who gets thrown in the Clyde for being undiplomatic. 😉

    I’ve got the ‘40 Licks’ best of double CD, like a fair bit of it, especially Under Cover of the Night, Brown Sugar, Satisfaction, Jumping Jack Flash - but that’s the only Stones CD I’ll ever need. It’s not that I hate them, far from it, but I simply think they are vastly over-rated, hence me stating it’s only my opinion. Opinions seem to be garnering red dots though. Fairy nuff’. 😜

    Drove back up the M6 from Cumbria on Sunday and the amount of times that I had to go from the left lane, to the outside lane and back again to overtake some fucking c**t toodling along an empty motorway at 60mph in the middle lane was astonishing.

    Yup, four of the driving things that grind my gears (that aren’t out-and-out downright dangerous kuntery type things)…

    1. Drivers who seemingly have no indicators on their cars.

    2. Drivers who don’t know how to take roundabouts, what lane to be in approaching roundabouts, what lane to be in on roundabouts, with Westfield Road in Cumbernauld being prime time roundabout arsewipe kunt area a particular annoyance to me personally.  Roundabouts with a two-lane approach, but three one-way exits? Lost count the amount of times a kunt has nearly hit me on the one at Craigmarloch Tesco.

    3. Motorway middle lane hoggers.

    4. Fog light on for absolutely no fcuking reason arseholes.

     

    I’m not perfect, but I do not fit into these four categories.

    Had a look that.  Only two lines about 5th:

     

    ”Whoever secures fifth at the end of the season will go into Conference League qualifying at round two.”

    Looked up, and we’d need to win 3 ties to get into the group stages.

    Finishing 4th makes things so much easier.  Even if you lose your first game, you go straight to Conference League play off.

    Such a shame that we had such a bad run.  That second half at Rugby Park - ouch!

    Agree, but as long as we hang onto 5th, it really doesn’t matter that there’s three qualifiers to get to the group stage, the facts are we’d see the UEFA flag flying in the corner of the ground, and the match programme would be a genuine European game collectors item. Even if it is against some Welsh or far flung mob, the matchday announcement would be ‘Welcome to the SMiSA Stadium for this UEFA Conference League qualifier against FC Kazakdiddy’…

    That’s good enough for me. Hope we don’t fcuk this chance up.

    Personal taste obviously, but for me, in no particular order, The Beatles, R.E.M., Bruce Springsteen, Rush, Led Zeppelin, and Elvis Costello. I’ll stick to those six based on one particular criteria - right to the end, or still to this day, they were/are still relevant in regard to being a recording and/or touring band. Never stopped writing and recording new material, or go out on the road as some ‘greatest hits’ act where the last decent album of new material they did was over twenty to thirty years ago. I was considering adding U2 (love them or loathe them) to that list, but they’ve veered off into residency in Las Vegas territory, and although they hit huge individual peaks with The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby albums, their recent stuff has been, well, pretty much shite. Any sane individual compiling a double CD ‘best of U2’ would surely only find one, or at most two, songs worthy of inclusion from their last two or three albums.

    Opinions, opinions, they’re like ars…..

    Replays in the Scottish Cup (little fuss compared to down south when they disappeared)

    in Domestic Cup Football

    Posted

    I think it’s definitely a different dynamic between Scotland and England in this regard. This is only my view, but up here, a genuinely wee club who makes it to a round where the big teams come in, actively prays for the uglies away - if they’re thinking nothing more than money and an inevitable scudding. I don’t think their mindset is, if they drew an ugly at home, ‘get a draw here for a money spinning replay’. Maybe a wee club up here, if they can’t get an ugly away, would take Hearts or Hibs, maybe Aberdeen, as the ‘next best thing’.

    Down there, no need to list the clubs who, if a genuinely wee club got them away, would be great from a money aspect - never mind your ‘Big 6’, throw in your Newcastle Utds, West Hams, and so on. Christ, drawing Leeds United or Leicester away would be great for a wee diddy down there. If they got a Leeds, Leicester, or Everton say at home, a smaller club there would likely fancy their chances too, as the big clubs down there seem to rest a lot of first team players. They can sniff taking a big club back to a big Championship or Premier League stadium.

    Just my opinion.

    Your Oldest Item of Clothing

    in The General Nonsense Forum

    Posted · Edited by pozbaird

    Oldest piece of clothing I actually still wear is a ‘Brady 12’ New England Patriots T Shirt bought in a Las Vegas sports shop in 2009, and it’s still going strong. Indestructable. Only wear it lying around the house these days, the print on the front and back is well cracked, faded, and not suitable for public wear, but the damn thing just won’t chuck it… a bit like Brady himself, after winning the Super Bowl with Tampa Bay.

    Oldest non-wearing items are a 1979 genuine team-worn St Mirren Umbro shirt,  the Led Zeppelin T Shirt I bought at Knebworth in 1979, and a 1983 Manly Sea Eagles rugby league jersey. Have also still got my 1970s denim jacket adorned with sewn-on heavy rock band patches in a bag in the loft.

    Yet, there’s some (on this forum too) that tell us VAR isn’t the problem, it’s the humans operating it. VAR is great, it’s here to stay they say… well, I’m not one of them. The sooner that shite is fired into the sun, the better. 
     

    …and, when VAR is fired into the sun, can Manchester United please be onboard the rocket with VAR. A shower of jammy shite, so jammy, that I actively want an Abu Dhabi-funded megaclub to hammer the kunts by 7-0. Preferably including a hat-trick by that kunt Grealish too. Seriously, that fcuking rabble are only out-jammy b*****ded by a certain two clubs who play in big Glasgow stadiums. It’s not Man Utd’s fault that despite Casemiro being a fanny, Coventry contrived to out-fanny Casemiro, but for fcuk sake… jammy, jammy kunts. 

    Rant over, time fur’ a beer. 😎

    That's because you've got guys like big Ally tapping his feet and whistling along when he hears it doing commentary 

    It’s because of mob rule. It’s because of the authorities cow-towing to both mobs. It’s why the fcukers can simply get away with trashing George Square and Glasgow city centre after a title win…. and the kunts who follow them know it. Even if you isolate it to smaller things than full scale sectarianism and city centre trashing - if as much as one St Mirren fan in our West Stand stands up, or has a fly puff on a vape - the stewards are all over them. I hesitate to think if someone in our stand whipped out a pyro and set it off - lifetime stadium ban. Guaranteed.

    Meanwhile, in the away stand?

    If anybody fancies real fitba, the day after the Hampden re-enactment of the Northern Ireland Troubles, it's East Kilbride (maybe a league team by then) v Kirkie Rob Roy (probably relegated by then) in the South Challenge Cup Final at Broadwood.

     

    Ho hum.
