That’s the thing though, Jim - it’s not just about “90min at a football match” - it’s so, so much more than that to so many.
It’s the group chats & conversations with friends in the week leading up to a game, - picking the team, predicting the score, checking the table (1/10)
@STVNews
If 90min at a football match could improve mental health it would already be available on prescription. Get a life, spend more time with family and live a little in the real world.

I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s a cracking pillar. Strong, sturdy, hand painted - everything I’d be looking for when picking a pillar.
But, ‘mon tae fuck Celtic - 25 bangers to look at it for 90 minutes is extracting the pish clean oot me.

Jim - it’s so, so much more than just 90 minutes. You can be a family man, you can have a life, you can have hobbies AND you can have a real passion for football because it’s not just about the match, it’s about what the whole experience can mean to you.
Relax mate. 💛

My favourite thing when we get points against Glasgow’s big two is the narrative from the opposing fans that it’s some how our fault for making it difficult for them. As if we should actually be opening up & making it easy. It’s your job to break us down. You couldn’t. That’s it.

It’s arranging where and when you’re meeting your family or friends before the game, who’s on the first round, who’s rough from the night before, getting the gossip from the week just past, what the plans are after the game, waiting to see the team lines. (2/10)

It’s disappointing that our schedule has been impacted by matters entirely unrelated to our own football club.
Whilst having sympathy that unexpected issues can occur, I don’t believe our fixture should be the one inconvenienced to remedy that.

It’s the high fives, handshakes and first bumps as you all meet up or with those familiar faces you see at all the games but can’t quite remember their names. It’s trying not to spill the tray of drinks on the walk back to the table while you’re mates secretly hope you do. (3/10)

It’s feeling a part of something for that next 90 mins. It’s feeling part of a team - part of a collective group all wanting the same thing. Whether it’s Annan or Aberdeen, whether it’s 50 or 50,000, those with the same scarf as you are your own teammates for that 90mins (6/10)

It’s hugging your mates, your family or just that bloke that’s always sat near you when the ball hits the net. It’s the jubilation of winning against a team you didn’t expect to. It’s seeing what it means to the players and to those fans all around you when you win. (7/10)

It’s squeezing in the last pint before heading into the ground. It’s making your way to the same old seat in the same old place, hoping that today is the day your team runs riot and it’s goals galore. It’s getting that pie and bovril and watching the warm ups. (4/10).

It’s the “entrance music” hitting, the team coming out, the manager applauding the fans, the captains doing their bit, the teams swapping halves, the keepers high fiving as they pass each other at halfway and then the game getting started with the whistle. (5/10)

It’s going home and watching the highlights then talking about the game all over again in the group chat or with your old man or on social media then by Sunday morning, already planning ahead for next weeks game because “there’s always next week”. (9/10)

It’s even about that post match chat/post match burger/post match pint regardless of the score - everyone becoming an expert and a football manager, telling anyone who’ll listen who should have played or how bad that miss was. (8/10)

Celtic are literally shutting St Mirren fans out of their game at Celtic Park tomorrow…

2015-16 was the last time a team other than Celtic won a national cup in Scotland. The same season, Livi were relegated from the Championship to League 1.
It’s quite incredible that we’re now 90 minutes away from being the team that could now end that Celtic dominance. Mental.

Mind the time Falkirk scored a 90th minute “winner” vs QOS & their fans invaded the park, resulting in time being added on only for QOS to score a 95th min pen THEN Falkirk finishing the season bottom, & being relegated, knowing those 2 dropped points would have meant safety?

slammed home his first goal for the club in a 3-0 win away to Brechin.
Shaun now sits on 4 goals & when he makes his next appearance for the club, it will be his 100th, making him the 6th player in the current squad to reach that landmark.
