This will mean that part of the terracing and seating in this area will be unavailable for supporters and we would apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause'. Yas...

Pride_of_the_Clyde Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I have always struggled to understand why this local derby would be met with as much relish by the Paisley support as it is by the Morton followers. For Morton, it is an opportunity to test themselves against a traditionally more successful side from the larger and nearby settlement. St. Mirren do not have this same challenge, a far more relevant derby for them would be Partick Thistle or as was Rangers and this is who I would aim to best should I have supported them.

Because it just is, it's a derby. Morton don't particularly like St Mirren, they don't particularly like us. There's plenty of teams 100x more successful than their derby counterpart but still treat the derby seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 If you offered St Mirren a gubbing of Partick, Morton or The Rangers (albeit the latter being very tempting), they'd likely pick Morton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One does not simply pick a derby. "Simple geographic proximity as well as frequent meetings in important games can lead to rivalries. Games between two rivals of close geographical proximity are usually called a local derby, or simply just derby (UK: /ˈdɑrbi/; DAR-bee or AUS/US: /ˈdɜrbi/; DER-bee); a sporting fixture between two teams from the same town, city or region, particularly in association football."

Oh no. I'd far rather pump Rangers. Most St. Mirren fans would. In fact I'd hope most football fans would. Morton is a rivalry and a good one at that. Nothing beats getting one over on one of the ugly sisters though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morton is a rivalry and a good one at that. Nothing beats getting one over on one of the ugly sisters though. Exactly. I don't know a single St Mirren fan who would pick pumping Morton over pumping any of the scabby twins. If either of the bigots played Morton, I'd want Morton to win. In fact, Morton are probably my favourite wee team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Begbie Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 St Mirren will win comfortably. Thompson 2 and one from someone McGinn likes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyrshireTon Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Nothing beats getting one over on one of the ugly sisters though. This. I was delighted when St. Mirren beat Celtic in that cup semi and laughed when they scudded them 4-0 in the league. Great though derby wins may be nothing can beat a night like, say, the one in my sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tri-TON Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 For the gamblers amongst us; anyone found decent odds or anything of the like? Was going to pop £5 on Morton win and BTTS at 6/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
