Abernethy Saint

Certainly was. Had a few tonics in the 208 and at McD beforehand; possibly too many. Ours was the first car in the car park, and we were about the last to actually go into the ground! What a night though. Throat's ripped to shreds.
 
Oops sorry, bit off-topic.
 
I think a bit of smoke and running on the pitch on certain footy occasions is brilliant - but others have pointed out that UEFA unfortunately don't agree. I presume that, with that crowd last night, Saints probably turned some sort of profit. Even a moderate fine could wipe that out. So why don't the young lads on here just say something along the lines of "well it should be allowed but it isn't and could cost Saints a lot so we won't do it again you boring old farts" and then all the talk could be about how brilliant that part of the crowd was - they really did get things going and keep it going.

I don't think it requires an enormous leap of intellect to understand Nigel was probably following manager's orders to count the clock down. Manager desperate for a win. So were the fans. It worked. Stop being so daft.

You young uns are hard to please.Me!Im delighted to go into the winter break in 6th Place and only 4 points of second top. Sometimes it could have been better, sometimes worse, but we have had a 5 game winning run beating Celtic on the way.We have also taken a point at Parkhead, won away at Kilmarnock, and we are now on another unbeaten run.Lomas is young and inexperienced but is learning all the time.
Enough for me anyway!Goodnight.

Ten and one blue balloons today
Only turned up for the high pay
Couldn't cross and wouldnae shoot
Lomas cannae substitute.

Ten and one blue ballons today
Scraped a one-nil didnae play-ay
Ghostie's ragin' all is gloom
Ten and one blue balloons today.

Dah - de dah etc

But we got 3 points today
And the boys all got their pay
And it's now the winter break
Just calm doon fer fer fu - uck's sake.

Dah -de -dah etc

Slow verse.

Ten ballons they took the field
Fought so hard, refused to yield
You stood so proud, you ate the pies,
Put up with the Steward's lies.
Braved the cold, cheered the team
And we all still live the dream
Keep the faith, all stand tall
EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A FECKIN BORE
dah de dah de dah deda

Ten and one blue ballons today

Hic.

77 short of a guid tune.

Just to let you know of the scam going on in the supermarket car parks in Perth. While packing your car with shopping, two Eastern European looking girls come over and start cleaning your wind screen and offering to help with your shopping, when you offer them a tip they refuse and ask for a lift somewere, while in the car they strip completely naked and after pulling over to throw them out one climbs in the front sits on your lap and starts thrusting herself on you and touching you up while her pal steals your wallet.


I've had my wallet stolen 3 times this week so far...

We've started going occasionally this year - 4 games to date. Somewhat to my surprise, the Beloved turns out to love footy, even though that appears to have more to do with Tade's arse than anything else. I suppose we could be classed as potential season-ticket buyers, or at least more regular attenders. Given that the footy isn't at all bad at the moment (despite, in those games, a record of 1 win, 1 draw, 2 defeats, GD 4 - 9!!!!), there are two things holding us back.

1. It's too feckin cold. I know summer footy is a debate for another day, but it's just tooo feckin cold!

2. The money. The entrance fee is a joke for football at this level.But that's just the start of it - the food and drink prices - £1,90 for a spotty teenager on minimum wage and minimal grasp of English to put a crap tea bag in a cardboard cup which they don't even have to collect or wash? £5 to park in an usecured car park for a couple of hours? Everything is at premium prices. Not only does this make it more unaffordable, but it leaves you with the feeling that you're being exploited, rather than rewarded, for supporting the team. If it was the best footy, cup of tea, car park available, fair do's, but it's not.

The old macho thing about footy being a man's game, it's supposed to be cold, the boril is suposed to be shite, the stewards are supposed to be ba stards etc was fine - christ, I froze me balls off watching Highland League footy for years.But, even allowing for inflation of course, it;s vastly more expensive now - over £60 a visit for us, including petrol.

A week after one of our games, we went out for a decent meal with drinks, and to the theatre. In total, this was only about £30 more than the footy. We got fed proper grub, and got two hours of entertainment in the warm. At no point did any of the actors get sent off, none of them missed their lines from 6 yards out, and when we stood up to applaud at the end, no beardy c unt threw us out.

I'm not saying that a footy experience can or should ever be like a meal/theatre experience - they are different things, which you go to for different reasons. What I'm saying is that a pretty basic form of entertainment - 22 chunts kicking a ball round a field - with no frills and terrible service standards on occasion should not be priced at anything like the same level as a meal out/theatre visit.

Or if that's too snobby for you, replace "meal/theatre" with "weeks shopping" or "xmas pressie for the bairn" - it's the same argument.

A reasonable price for us to watch Saints regularly, with a pie and a cuppa, would be about £15 each. Even at £20, we might go more often. But we cannot and won't pay semi-posh night out prices to watch a footy game other than occasionaly, sorry. And I just can't imagine that;s an unusual view.

I agree. I'm on yourside. So as loads of folk are saying, change the name and everyone will understand that.

Sadly that sort of attitude just gets right up peoples noses and causes splits in the fanbase.

I had a muppet at Hampden a few years ago who because my father who is in his 70s asked him to sit down turned and said pretty much the same as you. Lets get it straight fans who do not sing or stand up at games are just as good fans as those that do.

There are and has to be place for families, those that want to sit and those that want to singand maybe even stand but no way should any one of these be to the detriment of the other. Good on Saints for meeting with your group and hoefully an area can be set aside for those taht want to sing.

Finally if you go back to the start of this thread some of us advised at the time to use something other than ultras and it would get more support.

You should always check yer fly is done up, because if its not then Chernobyl fall out.

In a few months, is already one of the most successful Saints managers on paper. MOTM, winninig sequence, shot at Europe, looking good for top 6 for only the seond time. Very satisfied.

Not happy about the twattish behaviour on the touchline.

The anti-Lomas guys have never, ever said what he has to do to satisfy them, other than bewildering nonsense abou how Scobie should have been two inches to the left when he got that long pass in the friendly against Ballymena Rovers, his subbies are shite (but only when we lost - apparently they become brilliant and Christ-like when we win), he once folded his arms and looked bored when we played CowRangStDU, here's 14 paragraphs of detailed tactical analysis that proves when we beat Celtic we were actually shite, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

In specific terms, in terms of results and placings, WHAT would satisfy you?

I asked the Beloved. She replies she is very satisfied by Lomas' performance.

I wasn't aware they had met.

Too easy...Lomas

Tell them to donate it to one if the Catholic church's charities then we will see how committed to ridding bigotry they are.

NAH!! Green is playing the game and saying everything that the The Rangers fans want to hear. He cares not a jot about Rangers or Scottish football. He is in this to double his money thn will be gone quicker that Ancients libido

It would appear that Cetlic getting into the last 16 of the champions league has provided a £2.5 million Solidarity payment from UEFA to the SPL meaning over £230k will be distributed to each SPL club. Clearly this is fantastic given the clubs are operating in a difficult financial climate.

You've got to take your hat off to Celtic. Struggling domestically, arguably the 2nd toughest group and yet manage to qualify with a decent points hall. They were only a late goal at the New Camp away from winning the group.

I don't enjoy saying it but well done Celtic.

Also the patron Saint of Greece, Russia, Rumania and Ukraine. Another qualifying group we'd never get out of.....

Here we go again! Steve Lomas is shite, Steve Lomas can't keep his mouth shut, Steve Lomas gets his @@@@@ out.
The guy has come out and apologised and acknowledged he was wrong, For the language incident anyway.
What the feck do our fans expect? Yeah no doubt he can try and control himself better, but if I am not mistaken twice this season we have had the chance to go top of the league. Yet people are still calling for his head??
I do agree tactically sometimes he has to be questioned, but look where we are and the team we have.
Too much negatively spouted on this forum at times, but hey everyone's entitled to their opinion I suppose.

They got Mainstand, Ancient and Abernethy Saint in to help?
