Coventry Saint Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Brought a tear to my eye. He's in my top three of all time. Almost the very definition of a cult hero. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any opposition fans who ever slagged Yardley for being pish, just take a look at him absolutely ruining the Morton defence at the first Saints goal and especially in the build up to Basher's red card. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Is he pronouncing Lavety's name correctly? I can remember Saints fans singing a song about him at Love St years ago but they pronounced 'Lav-it-eh'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry Saint Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 That Facebook 'Memories' thing has just informed me that eight years ago today I received tickets for a cup final in the post. It's weird, because I can't even remember Saints getting to a final in 2010. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember Saints fans singing a song about him at Love St years ago but they pronounced 'Lav-it-eh'. I've always said it as two syllables; la-vety. Don't think I know anyone who says it differently. Now, onto another question... Do we want Morton promoted with us? There is a good chance they will make the playoffs, and I'm sure all the Saints fans (even grudgingly) would like to see them do well if it's not at our expense in any way. Yet if they were to get through to the final playoff game against what looks like County, do we want them to win that game? The need for a derby match is more psychological than it is financial in the top league. Sure it will always be better to have a local team bringing thousands, compared to (again, just for example) County who are hundreds of miles away and can, at their most pauce, be bringing just double figures; and the derby is important for our finances in the lower leagues. That said you are in a league with the OF, Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs; all of whom will offset any loss of a derby match. I think there is a certain amount of sympathy for Morton. In the last couple of decades, and due to our success and Morton's failures, we've seen very few league derbies. 21 of them to be precise over the last 20 years, over half of them coming in the last 3 seasons. They seem to be perennial under achievers. That said on the flip side, and from a St Mirren point of view, and in terms of point and laugh material, it is most chuckleworthy that Morton haven't graced the top division in 30 years. As for beating us in that top division you need to go all the way back to 1985 (for the lulz, this was #1 in 1985). Now it's only fair to mention that they did have a decent run of almost a decade in the top division from 78. So... that's the dilemma, do we want Morton in the top league even if it means the end of some pretty tasty bragging rights? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember shouting hit it , before he ghosted by 3 ton defenders and buried it. Top man Boom Boom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the song I heard it was definitely sang with 3 clear syllables. Mind you, I'd say either way it's said it's a 3 syllable word. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
