The reaction from the St Mirren fans after their 3rd penalty went in was fine. The reaction from the St Mirren players was embarrassing in the extreme and it's sensible of English to highlight it.

craigkillie Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 By being in a playoff they are no longer a top flight team. They had the opportunity to reclaim their place.The season ends at 38 games.Not being obtuse or whooshed This isn't a thing though. They didn't get relegated and they never stopped being a top flight club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFL12 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Winning the play off, especially if you are the team in the higher division does feel( at the the time) like winning a cup. Especially if your season has been a long line of defeats and draws. It’s mainly relief, nothing wrong with it, and the play offs are designed to create extra tension. Maybe the only people who don’t realise this are the ones who have never stayed up via the play offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Yes, I think it's entirely fine for the victorious side to celebrate. The reality is too that St Mirren, having only been up one season, were obvious candidates to get relegated, and were struggling against that fate all season. They also defeated a bigger club than themselves in the play-off. Not celebrating that would be weird. We stayed up by the same route one division down. It was maybe a bit lower key though, because we shouldn't have been there anyway, given that we have Dobbie. We also entered the second leg of the final with a good lead, so it wasn't dramatic like Sunday was. There's a long tradition though of sides celebrating staying up. From David Pleat to Jimmy Glass, survival has provided some of football's best moments. There's nothing wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
