Ta Ta Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Was as expected. A tight, cagey, tense game. Can't really see the second leg being much different. Put your money on extra time and penalties. Not so good for United when we have players that struggle to make it past 70 minutes. I like Robbie but his blind spot for Sow is concerning. Safranko offers so much more.

Trust me, I've seen plenty of shite! Just disappointed in that last night as it wasn't a great advert for Scottish football at all.

ONeils4oyarder Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Its hardly surprising that the 2nd worst team in the top flight, and a team that couldn't finish top of a really, really poor league are both shite and contested a shite match. I hope United come up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ONeils4oyarder Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 They're supports at Fir Park are generally poor...I'd rather see the bigger clubs in the league now. Gutted that Ross County are going to join Accies and Livi in utterly stinking the league out again. In an ideal world, Dundee, St Mirren and Dundee United would replace those three.

sbcmfc Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I think there is a correlation between poor supports and poor football. Using Accies as an example, I wouldn’t pay to watch that every season, but also because nobody is watching there is no pressure or expectation to try and play football, they can just shitfest their way through games and if they happen to get a goal they are in with a chance.

Aye, our games against them are kinda like a derby for some reason. Mainly cos Ayr have been an irrelevance for most of my life. Half the boys on my bus have never seen us play Ayr in the league! In fact, half them weren't even alive last time we did! Utd will bring 300-500 to RP on a good day, St Mirren will take 1,000+. Utd probably say the same about us, which is fair enough!

I dont think its as simple as poor football results in poor support. Results & pricing to a smaller degree, bring fans in, if youre winning games, the performance issue fades away. Hearts have a very good home support, but their fitba is worse than Hamiltons IMO, well maybe not, but for the budget they have, they are undoubtedly worse. Hamilton will never have a decent support, they are located in the bigot belt after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The teams with a poor support don’t have the pressure or expectation to try and play football. Particularly away from home, they can unashamedly park the bus and start time wasting halfway through the first half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams like Killie, Motherwell etc have a decent support and within the same area. Hamilton had a decent support before they became nomads and lost a generation. Plenty of bigots up your way too, had the misfortune to be in the same pub as the Angus Loyal on Sunday. Cretins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Mirren regularly take extremely big numbers to Fir Park. Most recently a couple of weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Of Paisley Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 It was never going to be a classic. Two teams who knew what was at stake. Not easy on the eye for the neutral butfor yours truly who went up to Tannadice, nervous excitement. It's going to be even worse on Sunday. Both teams will be terrified that one mistake could be curtains. It's just too tight to call. It's in our own hands at home, but United will feel as confident.

The urban myth in Paisley is that there were more St Mirren fans inside Fir Park that day than there has EVER been Well fans inside their own stadium for any game in their history. I have no idea if that’s true but it sure sounds good lol. Edited May 24, 2019 by Jersey Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daviebee Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Won't see the second leg as I'll be away all day. I'll also be able to easily avoid the score so is there a highlights programme on anywhere? I appreciate it might not be a lengthy programme going by the first game but at least there's guaranteed to be SOME excitement, even if it's penalties.

Jim Beem Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 Murn fans, some help please. First time away at yours since the Love Street days. What are we looking at for a taxi from Queen Street Station to your ground ? Looking to avoid the walk to central, train to Paisley, then walk to the ground. Slight rain is predicted and I’m in a group of 4 lazy bastards 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if you get the train to Paisley St. James rather than Paisley Gilmour St, then there is no walk to the ground coz it’s right there.
