Disco Duck Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Has there ever been a Bairns/Buddies match with the teams in a collectively worse position? Taiwo back in for Rankin, but otherwise I wouldn't change the team. Want to see Grant back but we've been pretty stingy at the back so difficult to justify. Would also like to see Austin get some game time if he's now fit. 2-1 Bairns in a shitfest. 3,852 attendance. Some random punter who's never kicked a football in their life to fluke the halftime crossbar challenge, and get the biggest cheer of the day.

Albeit a wee bit away, these are the games you are kinda scared off dropping point or being the first club to lose to St Mirren in the league, we shouldve won the last game with a disallowed goal and our defence caving in the last 10 mins or so. Our defence now, dare I say is doing fine, so much so Grant cant get in. Id go with a Sibbs, Kerr Craigen Hippo midfield, offers flexible movement within the game with Craigen, Sibbs and Hippo being able to move to one or more positions. Id expect it to be same 11 from Ayr or Taiwo in for Hippo from the four id pick. The defence and attack picks itself at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, but it's the big one. The main event. Families split down the middle. It's the game that the SPFL and Cockwomble lives for. People may say they are neutral, but we know in reality they either really support the team in stripes or the team in blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddie06smfc Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Tbf, at least one of them have gotten some sort of positive result against us. Something your mob couldn't manage. I'm sure Killie fans would happily give up their premier league place just for the opportunity to get a decent result against Morton. After we take a riding off Spartans in the cup I'm looking forward to this one, quite enjoy the trips through to Falkirk. I'd have Walsh in for Clarkson and put Morgan in behind Sutton with Walsh out left. Hopefully MacKenzie will be back so Ben Gordon can park his arse on the bench.

ShaggerG Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 If both teams show their best form of the season so far Falkirk will win. If both show their worst form so far we'll still win, therefore it'll be a draw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluegrass Bairn Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 least favourite game v StM - the 0-2 defeat in 2009 at TFS that saved them from relegation, and really looked like it was going to sink us... we were so utterly, utterly piss-poor that day - not a shot on target that I remember, just soul-sapping half-pace sideways crab football - that we could have picked an Elliots Eleven, straight from the pre-match bar, and given them a better game. Or at least put in a slap or two on Billy fecking Mehmet. favourite game v StM - the 5-1 horsing dished out on their patch in 2007. Thuggish panto villain duo Millen and Potter getting it tight all day was rather satisfying...Most pleasing indeed to watch all those Paisley favours getting hurled in disgust onto the trackside, and to see that fecking panda well and truly rattled. Thankyou please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take a guess that more of your 215 posts are about St Mirren than Morton.. you post on every single thread about us.. some might say obsessed. ETA - Your profile shows your last 15 posts.. every single one is on a St Mirren thread Your teams doing pretty well right now you should maybe discuss that instead. 2 hours ago, Dennistoun Bairn said: least favourite game v StM - the 0-2 defeat in 2009 at TFS that saved them from relegation, and really looked like it was going to sink us... we were so utterly, utterly piss-poor that day - not a shot on target that I remember, just soul-sapping half-pace sideways crab football - that we could have picked an Elliots Eleven, straight from the pre-match bar, and given them a better game.

We had been terrible leading up to that game and then out of the blue produced one our best performances of our whole time in the premier league. Maybe we can do it again..doubt it though.

buddie06smfc Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 What a day that 2-0 victory was. Probably the best I've ever seen a St Mirren team play. I also enjoyed the game about this time of the year in 2008, we had about 40 injuries and were typically bottom of the league. The slowest strikeforce possible of Dennis Wyness and Jim Hamilton both scored. It was freezing but there was a decent burger van outside the away end & I've never seen it since.

Bluegrass Bairn Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Given your fondness for that 0-2 game, any memories of what Pressley got sent off for? (Other than for being Pressley, which I can understand). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee_bairn Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 That St Mirren support has still been the best away support at the TFS by a country mile. St Mirren were unstoppable - I can vaguely remember Jack Ross hitting a screamer of the post as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 It happened right in front of me in the gazebo. He went up for a header, and headered the back of Billy Mehmet's napper. Unfair as I thought it was at the time, it paid off when Frank Aafjes stepped in and strolled the ICT game (and the SC final, but I can't seem to recall how that went...)
