Poor St Mirren might never earn that right to play football now.

You really are trying too hard to ignore the facts to suit your narrative. Firstly you don't comment on the fact that Rangers fans invaded the park when they thought they had scored and indulged in goading of the Celtic fans. Did you forget this? More importantly the Celtic fans didn't react. Furthermore you overlook the fact that once the Rangers fans attempted to attack the Celtic fans after the penalties the latter resisted the goading. Lets be thankful they didn't. As for the Celtic fans having the form you refer to which ofc is not inaccurate, you dont note the facts that Rangers fans have on many more occasions over the years invaded pitches. The list is endless, examples of which include a League Cup final in mid 60's, Scottish Cup final in 1969, Newcastle in 1969/70, Scottish Cup final in 1980 and in more recent times when Rangers fans brought a halt to a game at Fir Park when playing Jock Wallace's Motherwell. In all instances Rangers had either lost or were losing. Spot the pattern? Could of course add Manchester when they caused untold damage to that city but what's the point. Let me repeat the Celtic fans who surged the gates, caused damage and left disgraceful graffiti deserve every condemnation. But when it comes to the aftermath on Saturday it is patently wrong to say the Celtic fans are the main culprits. Finally, you might want to ask yourself why in a much more important game the Celtic fans didn't charge the Aberdeen fans after penalties following last season's Scottish Cup final. In short he contrast with Rangers fans last Sunday is stark. No more comments from me on this subject. Anyway let's get back to this coming Saturday when I'm sure whatever our differences we will be rooting for a Motherwell win.

Agree with most of what you’ve said here including selling players when it benefits us best so I’m hoping that unless a crazy offer comes in for Just I’d like us to keep him for another season. The one point I’d question is that the Well society is pulling the strings here. Yes we have 2 board members on the club board but I think the biggest influence is the chairman although I do acknowledge that the society - and us as members - has set the direction by fighting off that awful attempt to take over the club and was instrumental in getting changes to the club board that has lead us to where we are now. what the society needs to do now is to somehow manage to increase the society’s membership numbers with new members and encourage back those who left after the takeover was rejected - hopefully this can be achieved but sadly so ex members I know are stubbornly refusing to agree even now that the result was the best outcome for the club.

Thats a powerful argument, very powerful. However, a precedent was set when clubs, including ours, were held accountable for their fans use of pyros, albeit at behest of Scottish ministers. Surely that same approach will be used here. Also, in the interests of consistency, Scottish ministers have to apply pressure.

I think we’ll struggle to score. Sinisalo looks to have tightened their defence up since he took over from Schmeichel and their defence look to have more confidence in him, albeit still pretty shaky. A team with a clinical forward line could still punish them but we unfortunately don’t have that. TJM as ever will be our best goal threat but we will concede at least two I reckon.

2-1 to the mighty. Worst case, a draw.

Yeah cos that would never happen would it? But it was more to illustrate the point that if our fans reacted to our rivals fans jumping on our park and goading us after beating us then I don’t think it would go down well with the majority of us if it was being suggested by anyone that both are as much to blame as each other or indeed that their pitch invasion was joyous while ours was driven purely by aggression. But anyway, time to draw the line under this and move on to the game on Saturday. 4-0 Celtic is my prediction.

At least you managed to have Motherwell losing at home to lower league opposition in your fantasy scenario.

Well considering one of those two clubs is the next one we’re playing and that same clubs fans have caused similar damage to our own stadium as they did at Ibrox the other day then I can understand it to an extent.

Utterly irrelevant whatabouttery. Another huge fame coming up for us and folk are still arguing the toss over two clubs who couldn't give a toss about any other club in Scotland.

Irrelevant whatabouttery. Only Celtic fans rushed the gates and caused significant damage to the stadium at the game on Sunday. What happened at the end of the match does not reflect well on either side but it looks worse on Celtic because it was their fans who kicked the whole thing off by invading the park and goading the home support. There was always going to be a reaction to that from the Rangers fans. Just consider this scenario. We’re playing Airdrie at home in the Cup, their fans are in the bottom tier of the South Stand. It goes to penalties, Airdrie win the shootout and immediately a number of their fans jump onto the park, kicking down advertising boards and gesturing and goading the East Stand where the Well Bois are. What do you think happens then? Do you or anyone else seriously think that none of them wouldn’t retaliate by also invading the park?? Nah, neither do I. In that scenario both clubs should also be critical of the behaviour on show. However would posters on here be largely of the opinion that while we don’t come out of it well, had Airdrie’s fans not invaded the park and goaded our fans in the first place then the entire incident wouldn’t have happened? And would they be okay with suggestions that Airdrie’s fans were only on the park in celebratory mode and our fans who then retaliated only went on with the intention of fighting and causing bother? Because I don’t think that would sit well with me.

Score draw.

Drat....I was a minute too late 🤣🤣🤣

He had a clause in his contract which Aberdeen have activated

Aberdeen's approach has triggered a clause in Robinson's contract, apparently, so they have no option but to let him talk.

Neither club deserve the lions share. The fans who participated in the pitch invasions, violence, vandalism & rushing of the gates are to blame! Saying it is the clubs fault is too easy. Its not our fault if one of our fans steals someones flag or drum. It is squarly the fault of the fan themself who commited x,y or z. Could the police have had more officers present? Yes. Is violence, vandalism & rule breaking only due to that? Of course not. It is on the individual! For me, that is why both clubs should be critical of the behaviour witnessed.

There are 2 counter arguments going on here that can be true at the same time. It is clearly very difficult for a club like ours to hold onto a good manager and good players, because as many have stated, money talks. Players and managers are ambitious so they will always want to test themselves at a higher level (and be remunerated for that). However, just because the manager and our better players will move on, doesnt mean we cant still try and build on that success. If we are smart, we move the players on when it suits us, for fees that allow us to re-invest in the squad and strengthen as a club. We also trust in the process that led us to Jens and try to find someone else who fits the same mould. Obviously, there is an element if luck attached to these things, but just as there is a cost to bad decision making (as we have seen in the past) there can be a benefit to good decision making. With the Well Society now pulling the strings at the club, we have discovered our identity, and we now have a model in place, that if done correctly, can be sustainable. Being the best version of ourselves that we can be is the ambition the club needs to show, and so far its going pretty well.....

I bet the damages bill is only a fraction of what the Rangers fans inflicted on Manchester a few years ago, both of them two cheecks of the same Arse, Scotlands ongoing shame.

Money is the only thing that matters in football, why do so many struggle to grasp this? The reality is that Robinson’s stock as a manager has never been higher. He’s won a League Cup and now a bigger club have come courting him who can and will offer him significantly more money. For St.Mirren though it would very much be a boot in the stones but fuck them. I absolutely do not want to see them winning the Scottish Cup and doing a double this season and losing Robinson now significantly lessens their chances of doing that.

Hilarious 😂 😃. Semi against a shite Celtic comming up, with the other semi between two smaller teams , what a chance St Midden have of doing a double this year.😲 Then the manager is jumping ship. Why would that buisness not get left to end of season berore any announcement. What a kick in the baws for them. Wonder how Las is taking that one.

Rumours doing the rounds that the damage down to the away end by Celtic fans is so bad that stand might not be able to be used for Rangers next home game a week on Saturday. Celtic of course have previous for this as we know only too well given they have on more than one occasion caused thousands of pounds worth of damage to the South Stand at Fir Park and they’ve done it elsewhere too. Neither side comes out of Sunday well but Celtic deserve the lions share of blame and I would imagine talks are going on between both clubs behind the scenes on footing the bill for this before any statements are released.

Tough crowd 🤣🤣

That scenario is hilarious, unlike your jokes.😂

“Suggestions”? Lol
