The St. Mirren FC 2023/24 thread
Oldchap replied to djchapsticks's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
The club (and most other clubs too) have encouraged these types by treating them as wonder fans and even giving them their own part of the stadium .I presume the club think they create an atmosphere . Personally listening to a group of kids singing and banging a drum does nothing for me . I have grandchildren who do that. They are a bunch of immature wee neds although you do see some people in amongst them that are a bit older. I suppose that these are people who struggle to have any status in amongst their own age group . The answer to this lies with the clubs themselves. -

Ross County and ourselves are both now free on Saturday 9th March. It would make sense to move our midweek game till then. More support could travel up and the team would not be playing two games a week at the end of February. Would Sky be willing to drop the game and would the stay at home supporters be happy not to see the game on TV to allow more to travel to support the team? -
Spartans vs Clyde
Oldchap replied to BullyWeeStonehouse's topic in Scottish League 2 General Chatter
Came along as a neutral. What a disappointment. Football was rotten,pies were worse and Clyde fans were an embarrassment. On the latter point I have rarely seen such a bunch of odd people both young and old . Couldn't help thinking that some of the young guys need to get their first girlfriend . Too late for the older guys. Won't be back -

I recall him saying he lives in Dundee so it makes sense . If he does go should we maybe have tried harder to keep Shaughnessy -
Started with a Deuchers IPA and now on to this beauty before dinner. Good follow on from a better St.Mirren performance

Many thanks. Would prefer if it was a competitive game but my St.Mirren duties don't give me an opportunity before you move to Hampden . -

60 years of supporting us and it's been the same old thing for most of that time apart from mid seventies to mid eighties. We think of ourselves as one of the bigger sides but our league positions suggest otherwise. Since the premiership started in 1998/99 ,with the exception of us ,all the current premiership clubs plus Dundee, Partick, Caley Thistle and Dunfermline have finished in the top six. We just don't seem to have it over a whole season. We have been ecstatic when winning the Championship three times in that period but in reality we were over the moon about being the 13th best team. I know we won the league cup,one of the better days of my life, but that just involved 5 games. Going back to league positions since world war two our mean average league position has been 12th. That sums us up .A bottom half premiership/ top half championship side. Even the way we are organised is small time - a friend trying to book hospitality and another private event likened it to dealing with a bowling club . I genuinely thought this might be the season where we may just manage to make it . Given recent displays and the injury list leaving such a limited squad I have my doubts but I live in hope. Maybe we just need to accept who we are . Saturday coming will tell us a lot. -

There is certainly something odd going on with Dylan Reid. No mention of him at all on any Crystal Palace related sites
