P475 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Does any have a match day ritual they carry out, or particular clothing they always wear in the belief it'll bring their team luck? I have a particular old Pars top I always wear. Make of this what you will, but I was given the latest top as a gift at the start of the season and was happy to wear it. As the records show the Pars didn't start the season that well, in fact, "piss poor" is a phrase that springs to mind. I decided that for this very fixture back in October that I'd wear my faithful old top again. Ok, so we didn't win, but I believed we played better that day than we had for a while. The following game against Hibs was a nightmare best forgotten, but then we drew with Dumbarton the week after. The Dumbarton game was when our fortunes changed, and I like to think my auld shirt is playing a part in our recent wee unbeaten run. Anyone esle prepared to admit they have some similar belief? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I too got for beers before and usually post game. At Buckie I went for a couple in the middle of the game as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 On a more serious note, I have to be in whatever town we're playing in before 11.00. I like to find a bookies, put on a bet, then get to a pub for opening time. Sometimes if I'm there earlier then I might go to a Wetherspoons for breakfast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetragrammaton Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 During season 2013-14 I went off lager and I was drinking Guinness and Morton were relegated. During season 2014-15 I went back onto lager and Morton won promotion. Needless to say I don't drink Guinness any more....................................on a match day! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was so inclined I don't think it would have been an issue to do at that game. It was just a couple of pints at half time (and the first 10 minutes of the second half, resulting in only the 4th and 5th Pars goals I've ever missed at a game in my 26+ years of watching the Pars). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyrshireTon Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Back when we were making a meal getting out of the 3rd Division, but starting to get our act together, I had to ensure that everything I wore to the game on the Saturday (even boxers and socks) went straight in the wash and was ready for the following week. Don't think I bothered with that grey-pink away top once the season was over, but I was awfully superstitious back then. I have Morton towel, but never use it on a match day. As for mere routine these days, I drive to Greenock, drop my daughter at my parents' house and take my dad and son to the Norseman before the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richey Edwards Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I wake up in the morning and go for a pish then have a few fags. I then boil the kettle and put the water in the sink and wash my face. I then kick my wife in the arse then go get the bus. Then I go to Somerset Park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
