Tekel Towers » St. Mirren it is

JerryDungle · 18/5/2019 2:34 pm

Thoughts?

6 and two 3’s between them and Hamilton for me. St. Mirren are probably in better form, though thon plastic pitch is a great equaliser for Accies. Hopefully we take confidence from having already went to Paisley and won comfortably, suspect they won’t give us as easy a ride this time around.

Means about 1000 less tickets for us though.

They looked to struggle defending down the left side, and generally their defence doesn't look great. However, form is unlikely to be a big factor, more who performs on the days.

Think it's over 1600 tickets available in the away section.

Scraped a win against 10 men relegated Dundee losing a couple of goals too. If we can take a win of any sort to Paisley I think we can do it.

bowers · 18/5/2019 9:04 pm

They looked poor today against Dundee.

We need to take our chances in the 1st leg on Thursday to start with.

We'll hae to keep an eye on that Cody Cooke geezer. Scored a hat-trick the day against the fun efter coming on as a sub. 3 in 25 mins.

PatReilly · 18/5/2019 9:48 pm

Remember how shite we were when we got relegated? St Mirren are near equally as shite, gaining only one more point than United did in 2015-16.

They've won games recently where the opposition, in three games, have been reduced to ten men before a half an hour was complete, thus we'll have to watch our discipline. And they won today helped by an inept display of goalkeeping by Jack Hamilton, their winner coming against nine men.

As I said, they're shite.

Also his first goals in the league! Need to take a victory to paisley, I’m confident! Think st Mirren is better game for us than Hamilton who would have just sat in and made it a slog, think st Mirren will open the game up and let us play, canna fucking wait love mid week games under the lights at tannadice hopefully the lads and lassies all turn up again

Also worth mentioning they got 10 of their 32 points against probably the worst premiership side in history.

22 points from 34 games against the rest is terrible.

they’ve won 5 games of football since Xmas.

Gonna have to camp out for this one if you want a ticket. For the Hamilton play off, I got there about 7am, and there was very little tickets left by the time I was served. Given that there’s 1,000 less tickets for this one, plus all the backhanders to friends and relatives, not to mention supporters clubs, I’d be surprised if the shop has much more than 1000 tickets on the day.

Going forward, there needs to be a points system in place to combat this sort of thing, annoys the fuck out me when you see cunts that show up 3/4 times a season getting to these games, while those that go every week miss out. This should be easy to implement with the new card system next season.

For Sunday though, only fair way to do it on short notice is to have a raffle, where season ticket holders hand their voucher P’s in or fill out a form online and they get drawn. I’m big into trainers and this is how limited releases are done where demand outstrips supply.

100% agree with the point system, pisses me off when people ask for vouchers on Arab anonymous etc

Dirk Diggler · 19/5/2019 5:26 pm

Points system would be superb, so would the ballot. Unfortunately it's going to be first come first serve as usual.

Me and the wee man are sorted with vouchers but my mate is going to queue and chance trying to get an adult one with a child voucher...Could be a long time queuing to be told no however!!

This, 110%.

Understand money is tight for a lot of folk, particularly with a number of redundancies being made in the city in the last year or so and not everyone can afford a season ticket.

But folk shouldn’t be taking other people’s vouchers so they can have their annual day out when folk like myself and presumably yourself have traipsed across the country to places like Greenock and Ayr all year and could miss out for the fair weather fans.

Would be fantastic if the club could put something on for the fans who miss out. Big screen so Arabs could all come together a watch it.

JerryDungle · 19/5/2019 8:41 pm

Hearing The Fed are getting 1,000 tickets for Sunday, leaving just 600 for those queueing.

Never agreed with this sort of thing, I’ve never joined any supporters club and never will, does it mean I support United any less, even though I only miss a small handful of games a season? Does it fuck.

They should be made to queue like everyone else.

I really don't think that would work well, seemingly on Friday night the audio sounded like they were broadcasting from inside a helicopter, my mate said he had to switch it off as he couldn't handle the wirring sound, he said it was working fine right up to kick off, then when they were swapping commentators it all went Pete Tong, they said something about a suppressor had gone, but don't worry we'll have it sorted for next week if we win and it shouldn't be too bad to listen to.

No' being funny but BT were there, I know they loop into their stream when available as do most other clubs ( the boy at St Mirren TV told me that when we played them in the cup) now would it have been too hard to ask them if they could borrow a suppressor, I'm sure they must carry a lot of spares, but of course that would mean them missing some of the match, so fuck the customers.

If they can't get the audio to work at their own ground, beam back would be a fuckin' disaster, could you imagine people paying good money and it keeps conking out, when they could have watched a good picture on BT in the boozer or at home, be a riot.

Of course the word from Paisley would be "it's working fine this end"

I can assure you that is not true.

Would be amazed if that’s true but if it is it’s a disgrace.
