"Plenty of effort" would be a good improvement for our current lot...

And a proper send off article for Spoony

Oooft... new board are taking no prisoners. Interesting that the statement says that media is "being brought back in house" - have we really been subcontracting media relations to the Old Firm journalist cabal??!? Excited for what is ahead now

But Calum was the manager, with whom the buck ultimately stops. His indecision contributed to Spoony's state of mind. Calums indecision and poor decision making ultimately undetermined his whole career at Saints. We should have won that tie. We would have won that tie if Wright had still been in charge. Managers make difficult decisions. Seeing Spoony go is heartbreaking, but, and it's a big but, I'm happy we have a manager who's willing to make those decisions. Thinking with the head rather than the heart, deep down, I think it was the right one...

At 27 isn't he about 5 years too young for the current signing policy?

The Vaasa photos get a lot of love, but there is also photos from Monaco (my camera) https://saintinasia.wordpress.com/2012/06/13/monaco-monaco-were-the-famous-perth-st-johnstone-and-were-off-to-monaco/ Norway (not mine) https://saintinasia.wordpress.com/2013/07/18/the-big-trondheim-best-of-twitter-feed/ https://saintinasia.wordpress.com/2013/07/18/the-big-trondheim-photo-gallery-europasaintees/ Turkey (also not mine) https://saintinasia.wordpress.com/2012/07/19/saints-in-turkey-the-big-picture-gallery/

The current situation reminds me entirely of 2002 when Billy Stark and his band of retirees (Kemble, Falconer etc) got us relegated with barely a wimper. Completely sucked my interest out of watching football after 10 years of hardly missing a game, and I've never watched football regularly since (albeit having hardly been in the country since 2003!). We were let off last season - the problems were absolutely clear to see during the European games. That we haven't solved them now, and just made them worse is simply unforgivable.

This is a real issue... Had my kids on the verge of wanting season tickets after Galatasary, only to take them to the Dundee Utd game where they were completely turned off and haven't been able to convince them to go back since LASK. It's pointless letting kids in free when the "entertainment" on offer is so poor.

Ali McCann makes the Football365 winners list... Unfortnately he seems to be a completely different Ali McCann to the one we sold...

If the money is put back into the football side of the business, it certainly won't be on transfer fees (and indeed i'd hope its not), which suggests it will be used to try and tie down others. If we hadn't sold McCann/Kerr now we would almost certainly be in a position next summer where we lost Kerr, McCart, Gordon, and Zander for nothing, and McCann for £500k tops (1 year left on contract). Instead we have £2m in the bank which can now be used to tie down Gordon/Zander/McCart, which, if it happens, is a hell of a lot better than the alternative in my eyes.

Everyone better get used to dealing with the Home Office. My wifes last visa renewal took 8 months despite paying the "super priority fee". She is still awaiting the refund of her "NHS surcharge" which was promised, very publically, to all key workers when the government realised they were being embarrased. Of course, what they say and what they do are two completely different things.

I was in the East stand corner of the North Stand. Most people around us were geniune Saints fans who simply lived too far away, or had families who wouldn't attend every week. Everyone seemed to know the players, the songs and got involved.

If you can could you get me some!

Would love to know who they are buying them from, as still haven't got through on the phone and every season ticket holder I know had filled their allocation last night!

Any chance you could let Saints fans get tickets first? I'm still trying to sort out 2 adults, a child and two u12's. Never ever did I think as a St.Johnstone fan i'd ever have trouble getting tickets - a measure of just how far this football club has come!
