Sh*teAndMuck

Better start the protests then.

Just watched the highlights. Callum says that he was pleased with the performance up to the goal. Not quite sure why as we did nothing and creating nothing. The goal was coming the whole game up to then. And apparently Aberdeen ‘sat in’ after they scored. He’s not watching the same game the rest of us are watching.

Hope your last point is true as it will make your second last point more unlikely!

He needs to go now. Any glimmer of talent that we have in that team is hamstrung by the system he is sticking with which doesn’t work with these players. I’m a diehard, a season ticket holder for 30 odd years and I don’t even look forward to going to the games now which I think says something. Enough is enough for me.

Completely pathetic.

Remi should be saving that header are such a tight angle straight above his head.

What’s the away support like? Have we got a few there? Didn’t look like we’d sold many tickets at all.

You’re spot on about our time wasting after the red card. It was absolutely embarrassing and another thing we wouldn’t have seen (or certainly not to such an obvious extent) in Saints sides of recent past. Just another thing to add to the current list of embarrassments with our club really! Porteous is a p***k though mind. He’s ‘at it’ out to con the refs more than most. There can’t really be any argument with that.

Come back Tommy Wright. All is forgiven! (If there was anything to forgive in the first place.)

Anyone ITK ken if we’re actively looking at bringing in a striker to replace Hendry or are we just not bothering?

What the actual f**k is this guy doing? We don’t need fucking McGowan! Average footballer and I always remember him being a bit of a c**t on the pitch. As others have said, it’s like we’re signing players you might have taken 5-10 years ago. Mackay-Steven is another. He ripped us apart at times when he was with United years ago but I take it those days are gone for him too? I made a smart-arse comment a week or two ago about folk being overly negative. Well I’m apologising for that now because I can see that others were seeing what I refused to at the time. My head is well and truly gone. Truly raging at this signing. What the hell is going on? Where does he fit in? Is he actually ditching Cleary after a red card in an ‘early season’ game? Surely not? How is this guy allowed to sign all this dross as if adding these players will make any difference, when Tommy had targets and was rarely allowed to bring them in when he wanted? The point about Broon taking the step back and all this now happening may well be correct. f**k this.

Spot on. This boils my piss. ‘Staying in the division is our aim.’ Says it all about a club that doesn’t aim high enough, even on the back of a cup double.

Help me out lads. Is he shoe-horning guys into this 5-2-3 again? Parish Brown Mahon Considine Gilmour Montgomery Davidson Hallberg Carey Crawford May What happens if we lose another defender? Will he just throw another player out of position to play at the back?

If you’re referring to my comment, you’re well off the mark. Our bad season has nothing to do with the attitude of the fans. If anything, the support from the stands was commendable and helped the team through in the end. And I’m not a ‘section of the support’. I’m just one lifelong Saints supporter making an observation that reading some of the stuff on here over the summer would get the most positive Saints fan into the depths of depression about the upcoming season. It may well be a bad one coming up but if this is what it’s like before a ball is kicked, god help us what you’ll be like if/when we’re rock bottom after the first round of games.

I find spending less time reading the negative pish on here helps.

Good to see some positivity coming from a club official for a change! If ticket sales are true that’s great news, maybe an indication that not everyone is as negative as the negative c***s on here! But seriously, the FCU factor could be something to do with it. Despite the crap football, the atmosphere made it a decent experience at a number of games last season which otherwise would’ve been complete torture.

Oh my god, THAT GUY?!! The left back who Middleton had a field day with? Aww naw man!!!

It does seem a bit strange when Ross County are in the news saying they’ve already sold a record number of season tickets. And ours aren’t even available yet…

Next seasons number one? *shudder*

Ooh the major strop I would throw if this was to happen…

No idea why they started with the Main Stand if that’s what they’ve done. Would’ve been easier and better for atmosphere if they had just put all the ICT fans in the North Stand.

Agree. It will be ugly. And I think it will happen. ICT won’t be as bad as the first hour again and if we go even one behind I fear for us.

Wrong. We were still all over you until OUR subs on about 65 mins. Then we threw it away by defending deep and stopped passing the ball. Great free kick though, I give you that.

I had to watch on TV tonight. I noted we had 24 shots at goal after about 65-70 minutes. Around the time of the subs. We finished the game with that same amount of shots. Says it all.

He said we were poor in transition in the last 25 minutes. That’ll be the last 25 minutes where the two key players ‘in transition’ were Hallberg and Middleton and he’d just taken them off. What a clown.
