    The worst type, for me.

    There will be people going who simply need football for their mental health etc., i know old folk who only ever leave their house for it. Some will want to keep a record of not missing games, while some just wont be able to stay away.

    No issue with those people and dont think they should be hounded or ridiculed IMO. The ones who are simply going so they can boast about it and speak down to those who arent, however, feel like fair game as theyre completely missing the point.

    There is definitely an element of some people acting as though they are bigger supporters than others because they are going to the game. Absolute cretins.

    Why are so many people so keen to be walked all over?

    Because our fanbase is full of happy clappers who probably haven't been faced with such a situation before. I'd wager that the majority of the happy clappers are tartan blanket wearing OAP's who aren't onboard with the whole protesting/boycotting culture which I'd say is something that's possibly more prevalent in the modern game than it has been in the past.

    I'm actually disappointed we've managed to sell 300 odd tickets so far. That number will only go up by the time we get to Saturday. Hopefully the initial sales were just the HC's clambering to get their tickets and the sales will drop off.

    Total meltdowns on our thread when we were linked with him, with plenty of St Johnstone fans telling us how shite he was. I always thought he looked great when he played for you.

    We had a great song about him to the tune of ABBA'S 'Dancing Queen.' I was sad we couldn't sing that one anymore.

  3. Other than the piss poor defending for the Juve goal, this has been magnificent from Napoli. The way they've been passing the ball about has been a joy to watch. I was worried after they lost to Inter that the wheels might come off, no sign of that tonight at all. Big statement made.

  4. St. Johnstone have been taking their diehard supporters for a ride for years now but it's become incredibly apparent this season.

    £24 quid for an adult ticket to watch Scottish Football (which is a woeful standard at the best of times, dogshit at present) during a cost of living crisis.

    Not enough food and drink supplies for fans on a match day.

    Painfully slow service at cafeteria and no signage to say "no hot food left."

    Pishy wee ancient TV's in said cafeteria which used to show Sky Sports News - not switched on/working anymore

    Not enough matchday programmes.

    Tired, depressing stadium in dire need of a facelift.

    Shitey wee excuse of a club shop in a box room.

    Cash only gate has no option to pay by card, despite us living in the 21st Century. 

    Halftime entertainment appears to be non-existent going by my last two visits.

    The list no doubt goes on.

    And now this Scottish Cup fiasco just sums it all up. Now the club want even MORE money out of you for the privilege to experience the points made above - with the added incentive of being punted from your home stand to accommodate more away fans.

    The club has enjoyed incredible success in recent years but has done nothing to build on this for the future and continues to this day to take its loyal supporters for granted.

    What a joke. Fair play to all the regulars still going to McDiarmid every second week - I think you're off your heads.

    If the club is not suitable without giving Rangers 3 stands then there's other questions to be asked regarding the day to day running. Especially as this game isn't budgeted for. 

    Exactly this - it's an unbudgeted, bonus home tie. The club are trying to dress their decision up as a necessity to ensure the running of the football club - probably in the hope that the "but we need the muney!1!" happy clappers lap it all up. It's not going to wash this time, already an angry reaction on the socials from the majority of people. The Club have failed to read the room and have completely fucked this up.

  6. You look at the Premiership and it can safely be said that 10/12 of those clubs could bring at least 500 away fans. I'd say the majority could even bring at least 1000 given the novelty of visiting a new ground and having an away day in Glasgow. Whatever QP's current plans are for the other stands, scrap em and make bigger ones. Piddly wee 3 row stands won't suffice at Championship level, never mind the top flight.

  7. I don't know much about the situation at board level for Everton but the club is a complete basket case at the moment. They've have spent absolutely millions the past few years and achieved nothing. I think Everton are going down this season and it could be years before they come back up. I don't know much about their finances and how much money they have behind them but if they do go down I wouldn't be surprised to see them languishing in the Championship for a long time.

  8. Well this just made me laugh like f**k. It's cheaper to get a direct, return flight from Edinburgh to Bologna next Wednesday to Sunday than it is to go to a Saints game. You'd even have a pound left over to buy a bar of chocolate at the airport. If I had enough annual leave to take I'd consider it. Italian food and drink, bit of sightseeing around the city, maybe get a train to Venice for the day...or Livingston at home watching Davidson Ball with no hot food left at half time. DECISIONS.

    It also helps having friends in the media 

    He might have been a failure but someone like Cathro was never going to be given a fair chance because he wasn’t part of the old boys club

    Similar with Ange, despite him having both domestic and international success you still have people like Chick Young in the media trying to push John Hughes for the Celtic job.

    I refuse to believe Scottish football isn’t attractive to foreign coaches

    If the Hibs job becomes available I think it would be pretty much a guarantee a lot of foreign coaches would be extremely interested, not just because of the club but also the opportunity to live in Edinburgh/Scotland

    Totally agree with you, I've always thought that Hearts and Hibs are attractive jobs for a foreign manager because of that very reason. I think both clubs are selling themselves sort in that regard, you look at both teams past managers from the past 20 years or so and it's miserable reading.

    Completely overlooked big Ange - he's a fine example of what a foreign guy can bring. He's signing all these guys from his side of the world, players who bring something different to the game here. For Celtic the strategy is working domestically and if Ange gets them performing better in Europe people will be singing his praises.
