Do you mind if I sit in on this just for enjoyment? It's certainly not unknown for teams to go down on such slim goal difference margins, but I'll be honest with you if we are within 1 goal difference of Hamilton this season then we deserve relegation! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops! Forgot some pathetic cunts had already tried that and failed magnificently. Well played. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one usually for making scapegoats or examples of people but this is hugely damaging and potentially far reaching. A person, or people have been either neglectful or incompetent enough to allow it to get to this stage. It has already cost us revenue in PPV receipts and potentially left us open to partial season ticket refunds. The potential cost of another breach and relegation would be a hammer blow. In my mind, it should be investigated fully as although people catching Covid isn't always going to be avoidable, keeping measures in place to restrict it is paramount and clearly hasn't been bothered about. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well Well Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Fair play to the St. Mirren fans taking this with some humility and probably better than I would. Hats off to you all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hats off to you all I think most of us feel that although we thoroughly deserve to be punished, as our club has displayed an astounding level of incompetence, we feel a bit hard done to, as we know that certain clubs in our position would never have been punished with two 0-3 defeats. Nothing unusual in that though, so we go on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, if it happens and goes down that way, then I reckon more Saints fans will be looking inward at folk within the club for answers and explanations than outwards for a scapegoat. End of the day, we still have 24 games left and despite conceding 6 goals today, still haven't dropped to the bottom of the league, so nothing is lost. We had the 3rd best defensive record in the league before Covid banged 6 in against us today despite a fuckload of upheaval in those defensive positions with a lot of chopping and changing. I'd like to think that meanness at the back won't change....we'll still hopefully hold together defensively but we need to become savvy up top - if we do, we'll not be involved for too long.

As I said, I took it as you trying a bit of light hearted banter and your somewhat defensive reply shows you know it was not in great taste too. So we're all good. I don’t think choosing not to follow the rules is simply “bad luck” but nice try. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of our players disregarding the rules, thankfully the club found out before they could mix with the squad. Only players punished. celtic playing a player who should have been in isolation. Slap on the wrists. Sheep players out on the bevvy, slap on the wrists. The spfl aren't being very consistent here. You're conflating the misdemeanors of individuals with clubs knowingly disregarding the rules. It's really not that complicated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real mindfuck trying to work out why the punishments are different. Are you genuinely struggling to understand it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
