As annoyed as I am about Friday night its nice to see things going well for Saints after last season. Lots of doubt on a manager who'd previously done great things with the club, given the depth of despair at the time I can't blame anyone for that.

However its nice to see faith being given and it seems to have been rewarded thus far this season.

We’ve definitely improved compared to last season. But that a low bar.

There’s a lot of frustration at the way we set up, we are fairly negative and don’t provide a lot of entertainment. 

The manager seems so rooted to a back 5, which doesn’t even keep many clean sheets, and many feel it’s time to try something different, and has been for a while.

 

It feels a wee bit like our season is at a crossroads in that we could suddenly click and go marching into the top six, or tumble to the bottom of the league.

We’ve threatened both over the past month, and I think that’s how our season will probably be;  we’ll look like we’re sinking then pull a good result or two out the bag after which we’ll look up the way, only to go on another poor run. We’ll probably do just enough to avoid the bottom two places, but that depends on others continuing to be worse than us.

@tree house tam, I've yet to see you comment on Saints new tie up with Heracles (?).

Youre usually quite vocal in these areas 

I see what you did there..

Brothers from different mothers m8.

We are intercontinental.

Eses-Saints-Hercules the 3 pronged trident, it's like a double ended dildo but better.

it's the magic number you know.

Did anyone actually witness a "Gang Riot"?

What's the difference between the smoke bombs in this occasion v when Saints and other football fans are allowed to march down the street pre match on occasion? Or in Easter Road on Friday?

They dug through Instagram posts to identify him to get the conviction also... For a £720 fine?

"She told the court that police had to don specialist riot equipment and call in a mounted unit to try and prevent the group from charging the stadium"

Sounds a lot like a police over reaction to me? No one was storming the stadium. This wasn't the Capitol riot.

While I appreciate I can't witness everything and didn't stay long what I did witness was police driving a van I'd say quite dangerously at and through packed crowds of people.

A classic case of Police over exaggeration and telling Porkys to get a conviction and the sooner the Daily Record dies the better.

What a waste of time and money.

Kinda what I was thinking as well. I don't get what the end game here was either in terms of the determination to get a conviction at all costs. What does it achieve other than more distrust between that kind of young football supporter and police?

Again, I appreciate you can't be going about chucking fireworks of flairs around intimidating average public person but if it's a bit of smoke, let it go. 

Just don't get what the police really gain from that conviction by targeting him alone? Making an example of him Is not a deterrent.

Scott Tanser and his wife were in a car accident this week. Scott gone but Mrs Tanser was injured. 
I know no longer a Saints player but I believe a few Saints fans may have became quite friendly with them both. 

I think this needs an edit. I thought he had died after reading this.

All best to them both.
