And it nearly arrived when Van Veen set up Slattery 30 yards from goal but his low bouncing shot produced a solid diving save from Walker. A generation of older fans have grown up forgetful of their own youth and in denial about the parlous state of Scottish football in the 1970s and 1980s, when waves of football hooliganism blighted the game.

Buses were stoned, full-scale battles broke out on the terracing, often spilling on to the pitch, and we had a national team whose infamous supporters, the Tartan Army, were a byword for social disturbance, sacking London like a tribal horde. Two minutes later it was almost a carbon copy as Spittal’s low pass again sent both van Veen and Mayo racing towards the home goal but this time the defender guided the ball safely back to his ‘keeper. The visitors continued to dominate much of the ball and almost netted the opener midway through the first half.Taylor Otto latched onto Gill Inglis’ misplaced pass deep into Motherwell territory before teeing up Larisey at the edge of the box, but the strikers curling effort was superbly denied by Emily Mutch in the Motherwell goal. There was also a touch of irony as former Steelman Liam Polworth floated a free kick beyond the back post, where Taylor’s thumping header sent the ball back across Kelly and into the net, and floor Motherwell.

That is exactly the opposite of what would happen if the Ultras were responding to what was happening on the pitch. In the case of Fair City Unity, they instinctively feel that St Johnstone is naturally a top-six team and that winning cups and qualifying for Europe is the norm. Been hearing this claim for years but nobody has ever been able to orchestrate an atmosphere without a regular drumbeat. A Clarissa Larisey double, with further strikes from Caitlin Hayes, Chloe Craig, Jacynta and Lucy Ashworth-Clifford sealed a disappointing evening for the women of steel.

Personally I think these groups popping up all over the country has massively improved the atmosphere at most grounds. I’m not saying a drum is the answer but as has been pointed out, the atmosphere at home is absolutely shocking. After a win and a narrow defeat during his interim reign, Hammell among 75 other candidates, applied for the vacant manager’s role to where he was shortlisted and interviewed. Drums are beaten mercilessly, sometimes for the full 90 minutes, often held aloft or sometimes taped securely to a seat to maximise the beat. Celtic had two years of wrangling with the Green Brigade, and Motherwell’s ultra-team, The Bois, had their moments of tension too.

Trying so hard to emulate European ultras, bless their cotton socks," a Tottenham fan wrote, before another added: "I find this lot so funny because they’ve only turned up when they were top of the league. Everyone knew that and if you did not want to be part of that you simply moved to another area either side of them or further depending on the ground. With 19 minutes remaining the Rugby Park men finally found the target, thanks to the bit of luck that deserted them in the first half. We had a number of options available to us but we wanted to wait for Matt and are absolutely delighted to have him with us,” manager Steven Hammell said. When Jake Carroll broke down in training and it was confirmed he was going to miss a significant portion of the season, and with Nathan McGinley still recovering from his operation, we knew we were going to have to bring someone in.Still, at least the reek of Lynx Africa they give off is better than what I’d imagine an away end of OF fans must smell like. Ideally what we need is people in G and N to migrate but that's gonna take years if it ever happens. They are having a fun time in their tiny wee posse, but its not enough people to generate an atmosphere and they sing their own generic songs that older generations dont idenitfy with. To be fair, the average ultra in Europe is a guy in his 40’s willing to stab or attack people who support a different football team than them.

Most of the fans appeared to be in the 18-25 age range, but there were some older supporters accompanying some younger fans, presumably their children, within the group.They were up in clear view at the charity cricket match on Friday only not to been seen on Saturday .
