I've never been more wrong about anything than my childhood perception of Glasgow, ie, an economically deprived shithole full of alcoholic football hooligans. After several visits as an adult all of which I have loved, it is easily in my top three favourite cities on earth.

An afternoon watching St Mirren win and an evening watching Ned’s Atomic Dustbin and The Levellers at the Barrowlands. 1991 all over again!

The Bull, Paisley 🏴 1st visit. Photographs well, heritage pub with lively market tavern crowd. 2 cask lines, this from Orkney. Beautiful frontage, strange glass fronted snugs in the back. Service really nice. The bartender, she's a natural. Halloween stuff up already 🍻 🎃

The last men's Scottish Cup final with 11 Scots Vs 11 Scots was in the same week as that UEFA Cup Final in May 1987.
St Mirren's 11 Scots 🏴 1-0 🏴 Dundee United's 11 Scots
There hasn't been XI Scots Vs XI Scots in the top flight since Jan 2003 (Dundee United 2-2 Kilmarnock)

1/2 As far as I can find, only 3 remaining SPFL clubs have clear continuity between their early cricket-playing & eventual focus on football. St Mirren is last of original remaining cricket clubs to have made transition into a dedicated association football club, and join the SFA

We’ve found out a wee bit more about this dog.
She’s called Gaya or Gaja. She’s approximately two years old.
The owner of the Nano Bar where many of us spent some time drinking is a huge animal lover, and she’s come to us to ask if we could help find Gaya a loving home in Scotland.
We think this is something that between Macedonia and Scotland fans we could fundraise for.
If anyone might be interested in adopting Gaya, drop us a DM.

St.Mirren: Style of Play
Manager of the Month, Craig McLeish, showed exactly why he was worthy of that in large spells yesterday.
Fraser Taylor & Ryan Carr were an absolute joy to watch at times in midfield and they contribute so much to their style:
> Build Out with Risk
> Use 3rd Man Vertical Play to Break Through
> Runners Beyond/Behind (Denied a Clear Pen)
> Numbers to Join Attack to Counter-Press
> Recycled Attack after Attack Between 55-80.
That control they gained from about the 25th minute onwards was huge, they restricted Rangers to 0 Shots on Target between 22nd Minute and the Goal in injury time.
Rangers had a ridiculous spell of pressure between 6th and 22nd minute where they could have been out of sight.
Key to note that St.Mirren were also without 3 massive players in Nsio, Phillips & Ramos who have contributed 14 goals this season already.
The club is very clearly aligned from Keith Lasley (CEO) to Gavin Miller (Head of Recruitment) to Craig McLeish (Head Coach) on how their Style of Play is Sustainable and will bring performances short-term but longer-term financial stability from player trading
An exciting time in Paisley
