The Real Saints

I counted thirty-three in the space of 2 mins and 23 seconds, but I could have potentially missed a couple.

An ehhhh awful managerial ehhhh appointment.

Queens Park will likely end up in the promotion play-offs before enduring the most depressing two years of their existence.

What do you like about him exactly?

Hopefully not. Fingers crossed we'll be receiving big-money bids for Ali Crawford and Cammy MacPherson in the next couple of days.

Fine coach, but not a manager at any level of the game. My sympathies go to Queens Park. Give it a few months before he has alienated half of the squad and half of the fanbase.

Another good set of results for us today.

It also gives them more time to work out Dara Costelloe's best position.* *To help them out and save a bit of time, Dara Costelloe's best position is 'None'.

Ok, I’m sorry.

Oh dear. If the sole issue was ‘negative football’, I don’t think we’d support St Johnstone at all. Callum Davidson wasn’t hounded out for his negative football. He was hounded out for being a narcissist whose stubbornness would have destroyed the club if he was allowed to continue as manager. Thank you.

Respectfully, you’re clearly off your rocker.

I certainly wouldn’t be apologising to someone who thinks that supporters’ opinions on a footballer should be automatically discounted if any football manager disagrees.

I’d find this a lot funnier if it was Dundee United.

Gutted. I’m very excited to follow his progress and see how successful we’ve been as a stepping stone to better things.

Heard on the grapevine that Beck has been ‘recalled’ because Liverpool have received a big-money offer from St Johnstone. Should be announced by the end of today. Slight downgrade overall, but relatively pleased with him as a Robinson replacement.

When the voice on the London Underground says 'Cockfosters'. Never gets old. I'm in hysterics every time.

Yeah… Business as usual. Instead of criticising the other Premiership teams who play with ten men behind the ball against Celtic, why don’t Rangers give it a go and give themselves a fighting chance once in a while?

Not sure how to feel about this one. In recent encounters against Celtic, Rangers have allowed their fragile ego to get in the way of their gameplan. As far as I’m aware, they are the only diddy club in the Scottish Premiership who continually try to go toe-to-toe against Celtic for 90 minutes. Inevitably, it ends in defeat. I imagine that Philippe Clement is quite an intelligent man compared to his predecessors, so maybe they have a fighting chance with more of a realistic tactical strategy.

Wouldn't be overly excited if St Johnstone signed Fabio Silva. Flop player. Will fit in pretty well at a flop football club.

I know it’s harsh to be too critical of children, but Costelloe fills me with an uncontrollable rage. I think the Charlie Adam interview triggered it, but it has multiplied tenfold due to his terrible performances and the recent interview where he described us as a ‘stepping stone’.

This is honestly a fairly regular performance from him.

Thank god we have the best goalkeeper in the country.

Correct. Maybe not shocked that oldies McGowan and Carey have made way with the fixtures coming thick and fast (although I do feel concerned about both of their absences for different reasons), but Olufunwa is obviously the most surprising inclusion there.

Word on the street is that there will be three changes to the starting line-up tonight. Agreed that Franczak and Gallacher will probably drop out for Brown and Considine, with Robinson reverting to LWB. But what about the third change? I'd imagine it's either Kane in for Jaiyesimi or Sprangler in for Max. Given Sprangler's lack of action over the past few weeks, my prediction would be the former rather than the latter.

Good grief. Bring back the misogynistic, homophobic, anti-Semitic racist, please. He was slightly more likeable.
