Shittiest draw for Saints.

Don’t have access to telly. Are they doing the draw at start or end of program. Just so I know when to keep hitting refresh

I was wondering if we were the team that were in for him. Can't see it being Hearts, Hibs or Aberdeen. Killie and Dundee have signed Stewart and Main. St Johnstone and Motherwell I wouldn't imagine have the funds leaving us or Ross County?
Can't say he's ever overly impressed but does seem like a bit of a Robinson signing in terms of physicality
Was it Nouble that at points last season had a million pound price tag attached to him?
I know that would have had an element of exaggeration to it, but even so, I can’t imagine that we’d be able to pay even 1/10th of that.

Saints are notorious for underestimating cup crowds because the revenue is split.
One time there was a Challenge Cup semi when the crowd was reported as 4500 despite Morton filling the 3000 capacity Caledonian Stand. They complained and the attendance was revised to 6542.

Presumably the amount of VAT accounted for would be based on an 'underestimated' crowd rather than the real crowd. Not a clever idea to mess with HMRC, look what happened to the mob a few miles East of you!
In the past I’ve no doubt that happened.
Can’t see it happening at a time where almost all sales will be digital and not cash.

Typical BBC. No fucks given below the top league.
Compare and contrast with the English version of this.

Much as I really appreciated Curtis time with us (love a redemption story and Main Season 2 v Main Season 1 was exactly that) I'm glad we didn't go for him.
Having said that, even although I didn't want him back at Saints, I wish he'd gone to a different league - as now I kinda want him to flop.1 -

Thought Elvis looked ok when he came on. Showed some nice touches and effort considering the scoreline and level of opposition.
That’s good to hear. Ended up not going tonight but watching on TV I didn’t think he looked great.
However can’t really think of a harder way to make your debut!0 -

Strain's red card against Rangers was about the clearest red you'll ever see.
We’ve had two players red carded by VAR for handball penalties. One v Celtic one v Rangers.
I genuinely can’t remember other hand ball reds in those circumstances.
Have seen plenty of hand balls given that you could argue stopped a ball going on target, but reds not given.0 -
Very hard to judge new players when they debut coming on in a game against Celtic when 3-0 down and down to 10 men, but Elvis didn’t look like he’s the answer to the gap Strain has left.
Baccus and O’Hara being out shows we need more depth in midfield.
Might have got away with it against another team, or if Celtic hadn’t made such an electric start. Perhaps Rogers gets some credit if he’d told them to get right in and about us and not let the makeshift midfield settle down.0 -

Unfortunately it's a red but it's an unlucky one. Olusanya was in a situation that he had to go for it and Hart had as much right to.
I dont for a second believe a referee gets advised to go back and review that after giving a Celtic (or Rangers) player a yellow for doing that to any other team's keeper though.
Same as Strain’s VAR assisted red card against the Rangers, when at 0-0.
Zero chance ‘Tav’ gets sent off for that.0 -

Did you think it should have been a red at the time or were you happy it was a yellow?
The Boruc one - even 13 years ago - was as clear a red card as you could imagine.
But… Celtic.1 -

Celtic fan though
Ah, okay.
That makes sense.
So if it was a Rangers game it’d be on ex-Celt, one ex-Ranger and one Ranges fan.0 -

Boruc left Celtic over 13 years ago, safe to say laws on what constitutes a red card may have moved on a bit
True, and it was actually a red card then - but, you know, Celtic.

Who's the neutral?
Don’t think McFadyen played for either?

That’s a red, always been a red, always will and should be a red.
I remember Boruc intentionally kicking Dargo 6 feet in the air when he’d no chance of the ball, and Dargo was in on goal.
Yellow.
And I’m sure there are millions of such examples.1 -
Nicely balanced Sky panel - one Celtic, one Rangers and one neutral

2-0 down after 5 iminutes.
Not exactly back in the game, but looking reasonably comfortable.
Get to HT, reorganise get back out and maybe get the next goal.
But nah, just GTF VAR!0 -

Was that not where one of them thumped the back of the stand when Celtic fucked up a move and got the 'yous enjoying the match?' from the rest of the crowd. Thought they slinked out not long after that.
Yup, and our seats are in the back row. 6 of us, two in their late 80s.
They actually didn't go until Celtic messed up yet another corner on 90 minutes as they probably thought they could still come back, and there was no slinking out - gave the vicky as they walked out.
Stewards - nothing to see here.
Just on the stewards, my teenage nephew used to come with us. Once he stood at the bit on the back to get a better view - stewards on his case in minutes.
Two obvious Celtic fans - again, nothing to see here.
In theory away fans mixing with home fans shouldn't be a problem, the reality is very different.2 -

I know he did shite at St.Mirren but didn't realise Davie Hay was so disliked, will ask the St.Mirren fans tonight when Im amongst them, cheers again for sorting us out with a ticket @Flybhoy
Feel like we've had this conversation very recently.
With Well fans perhaps?0 -

any away fans who make themselves known in the home ends are quickly ejected
They weren't in the 2-0 victory last season.

As long as those fans in the home end behave themselves then no issue from me as many of us have done similar things down the years following club and country.
We know they won't though.
Stewards should eject any obvious away fans in home end.
We know they won't do that either though.
At Saints 2-0 win last season there were two Celtic fans standing behind us in W3. Bad enough before we scored, but couldn't enjoy the rest of the game for worrying about what might happen.

It's definitely much worse when they win. Posted earlier in the season that they are like excitable toddlers that you just need to let tire themselves out, and they prove this again and again.
The funny thing about them is that they want it both ways. Whenver they win, they give it the David and Goliath stuff as if beating a team with a bigger budget than you is the scaling of Everest. Yet, they also have a deep, deep yearning to be taken seriously, and get very upset when fans of bigger clubs dismiss them.
What can you do?
Off the scale levels of lack of self awareness.

A Saints player dives like that and it’s a stonewall yellow.

I mainly agree, but there was what should have been one absolutely epic VAR memory earlier in the season in the Saints v Aberdeen game.
VAR correctly award Aberdeen a 95th minute penalty for handball. They ‘score’ with the last kick of the game to make it 2-2, and the Dons fans go wild. Saints fans gutted.
The penalty was a double hit though, which VAR SHOULD have picked up. And if they had that would have been a pretty epic turnaround in emotions for both sets of fans.
So in theory VAR could provide some fantastic memories.
