Bit early for match thoughts, just relieved to have a ticket as sold out now

Never thought I'd be sweating on getting a ticket for a game in Paisley 😲

I'll step aside and let the real fans get their tickets sorted for this one.

Thought you'd have been in mate 🤔

Got my tickets secured for this and Hearts away. Hibs ticket still to be confirmed but hoping mid week will make that easier.

I miss away days. Well, I miss all dandies games these days, but I used to love a good away game.

2001/2 season I only missed 2 away games ... and only made it along to 2 home games - xmas win vs the Victims in the sna, and Danish Day vs Livi. pittodrie games were pretty much the furthest I had to travel back then

The last away game I was at (not including away games at Hampden ) was Killie away in the Scottish cup aboot the day before Covid closed the world. It was a good one, admittedly!

You're not kidding

What a fucking game that was 👍

I hear the weather forecast isn’t looking too great for the weekend. Have we played in shite weather under jimmy yet?

Nope, in fact it is yet another reason we're lucky according to Jambos Kickback forum 😉

Hoping that nae fucker sits in their allocated seat on Saturday so I don't have to sit in my allocated seat five rows from the front.

Played there on a Saturday evening Scottish Cup game in atrocious conditions just before COVID lockdown. Same outcome would be just grand 😉 

Weather being potentially poor probably plays in to St Mirren’s more physical approach than ours. Assuming everyone is back from international duty fully fit we should have enough to get passed them even if it is blowing a gale.
 

In

Train then pub near Central to get another train to St James if it’s pissing down.

Away end in my allocated seat to piss off Al

Train back to capital

2-0 Nisbet and Duk

Game must be in some doubt

No issue for the team who will travel today but surely supporters travelling require to be taken into consideration

The weather in Paisley doesn't actually look too bad but may be irrelevant

Sounds like a bit of a farce today, bit embarrassing for Scottish football in my opinion. The experts here yesterday said it may well be off, given the weather and forecast you shouldn’t have fans and teams fucking around on a day like this.

Nah, it's fine. An hour's delay isn't the end of the world on a Saturday. Better than a midweek replay. Given the forecast, it may even work out better for those travelling home to Aberdeen after. It's just a bit of light rain, not sure what all the fuss is about 

To be honest, we've had longer VAR delays

 

Anyway, Morris starting is bad karma. McGrath and Clarkson is good if McGrath doesn't hog the space. Duk off the bench good. Sokler away from home maybe the right call.

I’m meaning Scottish football in general, every game delayed and the challenge/safety of fans.

To be fair to Morris he’s earned it, although I still feel he’s better off the bench. I also wonder if the conditions suit topi who has probably more experience in this type of climate, where as I assume morris will have his snowsuit on to play.

Interesting start. We're trying to draw them out, but failing to get it to anyone in their half. A real gap between Shinnie and Neilsen, and Clarkson and McGrath. Stream on fawa is awful. Not sure which channel it's piggybacking. Zero commentary is quite nice though!

Wow. That's some slow defence.

 

Edit: my stream doesn't even do replays.

I take it nobody else it watching on a stream, and has a better one? I believe they've just had a ridiculously soft red, but the camera isn't following the ref, so I can't tell what he showed in the first place and whether he overturned it or not! Would be unusual for there to be a card in this fixture.

Edit: ref went to VAR to look at yellow he'd given but didn't upgrade. Looked a yellow.

Edited November 23, 20241 yr by RicoS321

, never a red. Not even yellow for me. Dives in but gets the ball and misses Morris

I'm not sure Clarkson, McGrath and Shayden have enough bite for me. All nice to haves when you're winning but not sleeves up and win players on a shitty winter afternoon in paisley

 

We can carry one but not three.
