I genuinely hope they all get through, I just can’t see it. The extra revenue for them ups the standard of our league. They get better, more of their fans turn up and that’s better for it as a spectacle. Seeing empty seats by the thousand, looks utterly shit, but that’s their choice. Let’s hope they can pull it out the bag.

By all accounts St Mirren were very unlucky but I’m hopeful that they can get through at home.

Kilmarnock were unlucky in the draw as Cercle Brugge are very decent opposition but Killie more than held their own. I read Ayrshire Blues thoughts but I think he’s being harsh on Killie. I thought outwith that 15-20 minutes at the start of the second half Killie looked the more dangerous and very unlucky not to grab a second late on. You have to fancy Cercle at home but stranger things have happened. Anyway they have certainly let nobody down

Wait until Rangers play a rampant Dynamo Kiev hahahaha. It’s a frightening thought!!

As far as the crowd goes. I’m sure every Killie fan enjoyed last night and the atmosphere they created. That has to be great for them going forward and you want to see the stadiums full of HOME supporters.

Paisley will be the same next week when the Buddies take on Valur and a positive result and great atmosphere can only be good for Scottish football
 
Has Don Robertson been named as the referee yet for Hearts v Rangers ?

Or Are we going full Collum and giving that game to Kevin Clancy?
 
Fantastic night for St Mirren. Well worth their comfortable victory. Great crowd and fantastic atmosphere.

Shame for Killie who really deserved to take a lead to Belgium but unfortunately go out Europa League but fall into the Conference qualifiers.
 
Unlucky Killie but well done the Buddies. Hopefully you’ll be a bit tired on Sunday.

The least of your problems involve the MIB. ;)

I think the bold Don is reffing us.

I need to go, I’m awaiting news of six great signings today by our ambitious board. Don’t want to miss it arguing you about refs. We have a whole season for that.
 
And well done Buddies, great night. How many more qualifiers do they face?

And Killie were unlucky. Shane they couldn’t get through. Still in the Conference. Is there another qualifier for this?

Theres two more rounds.

Brann next week, then if we get through that is a playoff round to get into the group stage.

There's some good teams we could get in the playoff, Chelsea, Fiorentina, Real Betis etc so the group stage feels unlikely, but we just enjoying the ride.

Expensive away days so far. Iceland and now Norway. My mates reckon their two days in Iceland was best part of £1500 each!

Hopefully the result , performance and atmosphere encourage more Buddies along to the games on a regular basis. Can only be good for the club and Scottish football

I’m assuming Magennis is injured?

Feels like the support is growing, clubs been on a largely upwards trajectory since 17/18 and the atmosphere and experience of attending games has definitely changed for the better in that time.

Take some pals along from time to time and they're genuinely impressed by the experience, whereas before could be a bit grim.

See what happens when we inevitably hit a shit patch again though.

Picked up since they cut the old firms allocation.

I laughed at your last paragraph. My mate said exactly the same thing. Along the lines of ‘give it two weeks and we play shit’

I’ve only been to Scotland U21 games and a few St Mirren v Rangers under 20 games but a very tidy stadium with scope for growth with the design allowing for the corners to be done.

Hopefully things will improve with the Tannahill area being bulldozed.

Watched a St Mirren v Morton under 20 game at Bathgo Avenue and it looked a very decent setup. A million miles from training at the old pitched at Inchinnan Road.

St Mirren do have a great deal of potential

All the best for the forthcoming season
