I'm talking about everybody who was making a song and dance about boycotting Scotland games - see this forum for the last 6mths for examples. Folk that can't make the game, for whatever reason, are hardly 'boycotting'. Boycotters are entitled to do what they want. But the support is much better without them. So don't come back. It was a good performance. They are not a very poor side. I kind of agree with this. Our support has been piish . At least he's calling it out for what it is. If you can't be arsed making an atmosphere and just winge...legitimately..why go? Although, I think the idea of a boycott was and is for the right reasons. The boycotters see their actions as a defiant stand for change. The prices are shocking. It's fair to point this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I did. As others have said, best performance and atmosphere for a while. The performance probably created the atmosphere IMO, the team fighting for almost every ball from the off. Its the first game in ages where I have felt their heart was really in it. The West Stand were superb in their support. North Stand ( where I was) still too reserved , 3 older blokes in the row in front of me just moaning the whole game. Wtf are they wanting. I know a singing section is always met with derision on here but I would make the west stand the unofficial singing section. St Mirren had a singing section the say before and despite the defeat the fans were fantastic and kept the atmoshpere going the whole game. Agreed, it was a really good performance in the first half. And great to see both the supporters and the team digging deep in the last 15minutes. Yea, there is no way this board would agree to a section where supporters could be both happy and clapping. But we should do it anyway. Edited March 27, 2017 by Morrisandmoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lairdyfaeinverclyde Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Never read such childish crap. If people don't want to attend games it's their choice, if people want to go same again, their choice. The bitching on here is laughable. Some people need to get a grip and grow up.

Squirrelhumper Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 3 hours ago, Morrisandmoo said: Could not be more serious. The support from the West Stand last night was outstanding, especially from 75+ minutes when it really didn't look like it was going to happen for us. I would rather have a small, effective support capable of lifting the team than a stadium full of 'boycotters' on the team's back from the first to the last. If the 'boycotters' turned up last night, they would have drowned out the West stand with boos, greeting and moaning. And we would be out this competition. Do not come back. I hope they all come back just to annoy you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbcmfc Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 There's 101 reasons why people didn't go last night, many of us will possibly put them aside for the England game, but a 1-0 victory over Slovenia at home isn't really a game changer.

I'm not so sure about that. I think last night we were 2 minutes away from the England game not selling out. Upwards of £45 for a dead rubber match would have been a hard sell, even if it was against England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, id say a dead rubber is probably harder to sell than a friendly, and the friendlies haven't sold out, although the one at parkhead had more than you could fit in Hampden. 4th game v England in the last 4 years or so too after 14 years not playing them. so doesn't quite have the same novelty as recent games. We've played them in Glasgow and played them in a competitive game recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobta83 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 The game now has real meaning which will add to the atmosphere and general feeling on the day. If we can sneak another win it may boost the crowds for the following 2 home games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
