centraldon Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 St mirren made us look good. Had to laugh at the guy behind me that asked me to sit down, then got into an argument with the guy behind him on the basis that the guy had asked him to sit down!!! Link to comment
Admin Bebo Posted March 12, 2011 Admin Share Posted March 12, 2011 Thanks, but i can't take all the credit. Link to comment
Ke1t Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 We're so sh*t nowadays that this is now looked upon as our great success. Well, we get another bite at the cherry... only problem with that is that we tend to make an even bigger abortion of it at the second time of asking. A semi-final awaits... to us that's as good as a final. It has to be. But, you know, that's because the fans expect too much. Link to comment
SkyeDon Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 The support was brilliant today, the crap performance was almost worth it for the bounce alone! Link to comment
Ke1t Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Well, if we're praising the away fans, we've now earned a replay in front of some of the worst..........yipee! I predict booing, thrown scarfs and plenty in house fighting about standing up/sitting down, sing this/be quiet. f**king hell, i sound like a grumpy old man. 3-0, streamers, air horns and free pies at half time cause the wigmeister and Millie Willer are feeling flush. The thing the wife likes most about me dragging her to Pittodrie when we're back hame is the interaction between the home and away fans. You just don't get the taunting back and forth in American sports like you do a the fitba. Everybody might as well be supporting the same team here, for all the animosity or atmosphere you get. f**king ridiculous it is.... "Oh, great goal by them guys against us guys!" What? What the f**k? Stop applauding and threaten their supporters or something. Anyway, I'm not sure that the players understand the importance of winning cup games. That lack of urgency is hard to ignore.

RAZOR Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 The support was fantastic. And thoroughly deserved that goal. Balloons and streamers with the red and white flags were magic when teams entered Link to comment
gypsymuffin Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Agree support was fantastic, as always. Lets hope we can beat them on Wednesday. Link to comment
NorthernLights24 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Away support looked good considering the weather, kick off time and the fact it involves a trip to Paisley. The home support looked terrible though. We must have outnumbered them or were very close to. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 All credit to the guys that made it todaybut the singing wasn't that great on the stream i was watching. You must have had a sh*te stream then... I watched on the BBC in the rec room and the Don's were very vocal.Heard all the songs. Great effort and is sadly the away support is the only good thing we have going for us just now. Link to comment
RUL Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Loud at times but mainly just one loon at the back trying to start chants up, was good numbers and colour prior to game, Link to comment
Stoneybloke Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Historically, we have always had a good base of support in the west of Scotland. No doubt a fair view travelled down, but I'd guess that quite a number were "local" as well. Link to comment
RUL Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Aye, think it was lost in translation and some just couldn't wait. Link to comment
Admin Bebo Posted March 13, 2011 Admin Share Posted March 13, 2011 Awesome bounce at the end. Also good work whoever tried to get a Spurs-esque slow version of "Ohhhhh when the Reds go steaming in" going - think it'll maybe take a bit of time to get everybody in sync though! Aye, that was pretty good. There was a guy at the back occasionally just shouting "PAUL!", "Paulllll!", Paauuuuuuuuuuullll!" "Paul!" ever so often. I assume it was directed at Paul Gallacher.

I assume it was directed at Paul Gallacher. Was it not that he was shouting "C**t", certainly a guy behind me was for most of the first half, also well done to the folk who were bursting balloons every time Gallacher was kicking the ball. Never distracted him, but timing was always spot on. Link to comment
RUL Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Some amount of cops/stewards to get the loon with the baseball cap, seemed a strange one! Link to comment

Site Sponsor Dom Sullivan Posted March 13, 2011 Site Sponsor Share Posted March 13, 2011 Official attendance given as 4,120. How many Dandies in attendance, you reckon? Link to comment
RAZOR Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 What had he done??Smoking, right in the front row. A tad silly, but he was just pissed. Hopefully the authorities never took it further. Link to comment
dazzy_deff Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 A big well done to the travelling fans. I was set to go but woke up with a killer hangover and couldnt be bothered. Watched it in the bar but was impressed by the number who travelled down. Well done. Lets try for a big crowd on wednesday and get behind the boys. Link to comment
RUL Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Smoking, right in the front row. A tad silly, but he was just pissed. Hopefully the authorities never took it further. Nah, initially he was caught smoking but somehow got off with that, he got nicked for threatening to knock fk out of the steward (on 3 seperate occasions) who had reported him in the first place, think a few weegie reds in the front row had alerted cops, or so it seemed.

Presume he moved to a different seat. Link to comment
RUL Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Official attendance given as 4,120. How many Dandies in attendance, you reckon? 1,800? The St Mirren stand under the cameras seemed packed but don't know the volume that each stand holds? Link to comment
NorthernLights24 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 1,800? The St Mirren stand under the cameras seemed packed but don't know the volume that each stand holds? From Wikipedia... The Stadium has four stands with a total capacity of 8,023. The North Stand is used by away fans but for larger away supports part of the West Stand can also be given to away fans. * Main Stand (Greenhill Road) - capacity 2,220. * West Stand (Craigielee Drive) - capacity 2,516. * North Stand (Ferguslie Park Avenue) - capacity 1,633.(Normally designated for away fans.) * South Stand (Drums Road) - capacity 1,654.

Was anyone in the same carrage on the train back to central as the 2 Rangers fans that tried to annoy the Dons fans? Link to comment
RUL Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 From Wikipedia... Probably about 1,500 in that case? Link to comment
king simmie Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 despite the awful weather the fans were great...lots of colour as teams came out so well done one and all who took part and contributed with materials..some streamers never made it in so a bit of savvy required at the turnstyles in future..spurs style song was from a few of us,it caught on at times but it really was freezing so taking everything into consideration the fans were excellent. we need to be the same on wednesday though and thats the hard part. any display pics?

RUL Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 There's a cracker on sns pic which afc have got on their site. Link to comment
robbo Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 i had a fantastic day. football was sh*te but the rest was awesome. honestly, if anyone wants to go to away trips, pm razor and theyll take good care of you. the highlight of the game for me was all of us standing the whole time then the safety announcement coming over saying they wanted us to sit down so we start chanting "were gonna stand if we want to, stand if we waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant to" quickly followed by a rendition of stand free Link to comment
