The European football level St. Mirren FC 2024/25 thread


Recommended Posts

3rd round 2nd leg of the Conference League Qualifying is the Thursday before the Dundee Utd tie.

I'll take getting past Valur and securing another European game even if it means a defeat for tired legs at Tannadice.

You'd think they'd shop in Waitrose, you know... considering the massive wage packets they get!

Bizarrely find myself “defending” Springsteen when I’m not all that bothered about him, but I think I need either you or @Ric to define “American Triumphalism” for me and give me an example of a song that fits the definition (or better still a few songs seeing as it’s apparently prevalent through this material.. 

ok, without doing a mad amount of research, let me re-categorize my interpretation of some of the classics as being emblematic/patriotic and occasionally , almost Tribal, similar to evangelical southern gospel music. The music has a certain authority about it that lends it to being viewed as Americana, in my ever so humble opinion. BUT perhaps not Triumphalism” as such.

I saw Andy Dorman and his Mrs in the Byres Road Waitrose.

Franco Miranda in Braehead Sainsbury's, Ludo in ASDA Linwood and both Ally McCoist, Derek McInnes and also that taxi driver guy from the Alex Rae era in Johnstone Morrisons.

Thank you for reminding me of that deadly duo. 😱

A gentle reminder of one of the worst times to be a Saints fan.

Incredible to think that during that time we had a certain Laurence Shankland.

But fast forward 8 years and we are about to play our first home game in Europe for 37 years.

Are my eyes deceiving me with these dates? Surely that nightmare phase has gotta be longer than that?

What an incredible turnaround. 

Absolutely remarkable!

I recall someone telling me about Rae allegedly telling Tony Fitz to ask Gordon Scott about an extension to his contract. 
Gordon Scott told him he’d consider it when we are not bottom of the championship :lol:

I was sitting having a beer one time in the big semi-circular bar near the main entrance at Ceasars Palace in Las Vegas, and in walked Conor Newton with three of his mates. He stopped, took a photo of the lobby, and headed into the casino. I was a baw’ hair away from just shouting Newton! New-tonn! New-tonn! On reflection, I should just have done it.

Robinson expects Kiltie , Mcmenamin back during the internationals break. Anyone know when that is ?  Games will come thick and fast especially if we qualify on Thursday have we got the squad for it  I suppose it will be fine as long as we stay injury free . Thoughts ?

Surely McMenamin won’t be back by then will he? After an op?

I still think we are a little light on the wings and possibly one better option away from a striker too, though for the latter I guess someone would need to move on as we can't carry more than the 5 options we currently have.
