As soon as i found out about this i said i'd be there, it's that or a family get together!!!! :!:

[Hazel1884]

The yoofs won 2-0 today against Hamilton.

Doreen and Jackson were both on the sidelines, not included in today's match alongside an injured Mooner!

Think the young lads have been watching the first team too much - there was a lot of hoofing the ball up the park the day. Which is frustrating because we know we can play better.

Quite a young side today with the only older players being McManus, Dyer, McCallum and Deery.

Two goals from Neilly McCallum won us the game against a big, physical side. Good, quick footwork for both goals but the second was a belter!

A quick note about one of the youth lads Deery (now called Doris according to the PA!) has been given a months contract i.e till the end of January.

Is this a professional contract to determine whether he's going to make it at Saints or not?

Erm, well to be honest they only have one game against Celtic in the cup planned for January. Then there's very few U19 games left IIRC....but if he does get released at the end of January then his season is f'cked because he can't sign for anyone else outwith the transfer window can he?? :?

AFAIK, as long as he is a free agent when the window closes at midnight on January 31/February 1, then he can sign for anyone no problem. Should the club not officially release him until February 1 then he would only be able to sign amateur terms with another club.

[Saintkev]

When is the Celtic game?

[chopper]

Still not been re-arranged according the SFA Website.

Was it not put out at the time they were looking at January 22???

[soccerchic]

Anyone who has nothing to do today as they aren't away to Stranraer, there is a youth game on at 2pm today on plastic park. :wink:

[lethamsaintee]

Well, come on Soccer Chic, what was the score, who played well etc etc for those of us who made the trek down to Stranraer (and stayed sober) - we expect better service than this from the Campbell clan :***:

[soccerchic]

Well it was the inder 17's who were playing and lets just say TC was not a happy man. (They got beat 4-0 :cry: from Cowdenbeath.

Cheers - don't know why but I have always been very impressed with the Cowden youth teams when I have seen them, but they seem to make the break through even less often than the Saintees lads :( .

The late change of timing for the game. The whole day is planned with meticulous timing, so I'll not be making this one... gutted and annoyed, and it means a few more regulars at these games will miss out! :roll:

:D :wink:

And I will be giving it all from the tannoy box as well, let's give the lads a real lift

[Hazel1884]

The lads have three games in a few days coming up starting tonight against Ross County kick off at 6.15pm that i shall be popping up to watch...

And another game on Thursday with a 2pm kick off that i shall also be attending all going well. :)

Anybody know what their score was on Sunday past?

http://www.stjohnstonefc.co.uk/newsitem~NewsID~1666.asp

Ross County should be a good test for our boys as they are quite a big side IIRC and previous encounters that i have seen between the sides are usually closely contested. :)

[saintbear]

Under 19's won last night 6-1.

McCallum scored 4, Black scored 1 and an Irish trialist scored 1.

One of McCallums goals was scored from a fantastic set piece, it was braw.

Ross county is meant to be the top team will their boys all being full-time.

Well done to our young lads.

[Hazel1884]

Well Saints pumped County 6-1 last night.......

Some neat football was played last night - they've clearly been watching the first team of late :wink:

I have nae idea of all the scorers....i lost count but McCallum scored two absolute peaches (i think he scored four in total), Black got one, as did Doreen *i think*.

Mooner and Black controlled play in the centre of midfield (the first time i have seen him in this position) and they worked well together, although the former having a quieter time of it! Black amazes me with his pace and vision - if he continues to get the right coaching then he will be some player, IMO. The same applies to Bobby Barr who was fantastic once again last night. Constantly talking to the side and organising others, linked up well with the strikers and turned their left back inside out all night. Also, McCallum deserves a mention for working his butt off against a big defence and scoring two cracking goals....

If Saints had a bit more luck on there side it could have been double figures for our goals tally!

Will we see Willie Dyer in first team on Saturday with Stanic being out? Will be interesting to see if he plays on Thursday afternoon.

[chopper]

No chance of Dyer playing Thursday as Coyle mentioned him in yesterday's Courier as having already replaced Stanic, ironically enough at Glebe Park, earlier in the season and also against Clyde at Broadwood when he played the wing back role very well.

Hazel, is Johnny Black your new Stephen Dobbie??? :wink:

[Hazel1884]

Hazel, is Johnny Black your new Stephen Dobbie??? :wink:

Nah........

Johnny Black is some player though! I tip him to be the next player to emerge from the yoooooooofs and into the first team - when they get their chance! :wink:

[Gaffer]

Great game from the young lads. Some good football going on for them.

Would say it was the trialist who scored the goal though Hazel .A few to watch out for in the next couple of seasons in that team I reckon.

[soccerchic]

2-2 :wink:

[Hazel1884]

The yoofs play Dundee today..........I shall be popping down!

I shall text somebody like Saintkev who will hopefully be able to provide updates for all you people stuck at your desk in your office on this lovely day! :)

Mon the Saints! Get intae the scum!!

[Geezer]

What time Hazel?

Im off all week and finished painting my room so going to be bored out my tits

[Hazel1884]

What time Hazel?

Im off all week and finished painting my room so going to be bored out my tits

:***:

10.30am kick off! :)

If Dundee win this one, and their game next week then they win the league - but we're in good form so it should be a good game! :)

[Saintkev]

I'm ready and waiting Hazel... bring on the updates.

Cheers.

[Geezer]

Oh eh em might make it still in bed thats bloody early, might be worth it though just to see saints play a home game :***:

[chopper]

If Dundee win this one, and their game next week then they win the league - but we're in good form so it should be a good game! :)

I'm sure I read in The Courier or Tully that Dundee only needed 1 win to win the league, because they drew the other week.

Anyway, shock horror, the stalker's going :***: :wink:

[Hazel1884]

It's a game of footy for christ sake.

Well according to a Dundee fan it's 2 wins, but Chopper knows best.

[chopper]

but Chopper knows best.

Dev knows best (I am second!!!)

Just mentioning something that I read in the paper last week or so. I shall find out for certain for you.

[chopper]

According to the league table here (http://www.scottishfootballleague.com/scottish_football_league.cfm?showtype=table&show=tablesyouth19&init=O&curpageid=1091) it shows Dundee are 3 points clear of Ross County and 5 clear of St. Mirren in a 19 team league.

Assuming everyone plays each other once for the league, it would mean Dundee need 2 points from their last 2 games or St. Mirren to drop points in either of their last 2 games.

[Saintkev]

Saints take the lead through a fine individual effort from Neil McCallum. Kev Moon then has a fine strike well saved, before Steven Doris (Hazel thinks) got the final touch to make it 2-0. The Dirty Dee have hit the bar too.

'Mon The Yoofs!

[Saintkev]

Scum score 2-1!

Apparently it's freezing "brrrr" - bring back Radford who at least tells you manly things about watching the game! :wink:

[Saintkev]

Doris strethchered off after being down for 5 minutes, which would suggest a very bad one!

[Saintkev]

He apparently hobbled off with major swelling around the left knee... I'm now off to a meeting so I've asked Haxel to put aside her differences with Chopper to keep this service going... we'll see if 1) the service can resume and 2) there will be a beautiful friendship created.

Peace and love, Kev!

[chopper]

Nice to know I was the new point of contact!!!

No further goals but I quote

Neil mccallum had a loopin shot cleared off the line. Bobby barr, dyer, mark gallacher (thnk thats his name) have bn fantastic the day

[chopper]

Boabby barr with an absolute stormer. Nice flick on and a crackin curlin effort.

3-1 the blues

[chopper]

Confirmed full-time, Chopsy?

No texts since so I assume so - good result!

[Saintkev]

Well done Chopper and Hazel... a real tear-jerking moment for the forum :cry: :wink:

[Hazel1884]

Haw, calm down!

Kev, it was the other way round, Doris gave us the lead then McCallum scored. It wasn't Barr's goal! :oops: Some other wee dude, but it was a cracker. Was an interesting game in difficult conditions but Doreen was in a lot of discomfort... :cry:

Not much to add except we got it right up the coagie scum! 'Mon the Bluuuuuuues!

[Geezer]

Almost made it but it was blowing a gale and I thought better of it :roll:

[eksaint]

This game was actually a League Cup section game. The 19s throughout the country are split into two sections, basically a west coast section and an east coast section.

Todays game was saints fourth sectional game and puts them top of the section with 10 points. All the other teams in the section have been cutting each other up and saints are probably a couple of wins away from winning the section.This would put them into the League Cup final against the winners of the west coast section.

Saints have played well in the last three games against three of the best teams in the league. I think this shows that when they are allowed to play football rather than a kicking match they shine.

You don't have a copy of the table and remaining fixtures do you?

I've not seen a table published Radford as the SFL site is not up to date.I think the next game is on Sunday at McDiarmid astro against East Fife with Montrose and Arbroath still to play.

[soccerchic]

Another win for the under 19's today. :D

See review of offical site. :wink:

[gossip monger]

Seen this on another site.

Is there any truth in this?


I head a rumour the George Adams has been talking to Tommy Campbell who is in charge of St Johnstone youths about talking over the youth set-up for Ross County. I believe that George Adams is impressed by the set up he has going at Sj. Johnstone.

Any truth in this folks?

I know for a FACT he is going to CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!! :wink:

[Hazel1884]

He'll be going to Lithania too soon with the U19s i would imagine! :***: :wink:

[soccerchic]

Yes he IS going to CANADA but only for 8 DAYS. :***: :wink:

However he IS NOT going to LITHUANIA, as the trip is OFF. :?

[Hazel1884]

Were our U19s going to be going to Lithuania? Why? That would be fantastic experience for them.

I thought they were going for a tournament? :shock:
Has it been cancelled soccerchic?

[soccerchic]

Em, I don't know, I didn't ask :oops: :?

[Hazel1884]

Get yer butts up to watch the yoofs tomorrow on the astroturf with a 1pm kick off against Clyde - hopefully a few more people will come along and support them for their fitba fix!

It should be good - place at the final up for grabs!

'Mon the yoofs!

[Hazel1884]

Paddy's been realeased! :shock:

Bit of a shock that one, i thought he had been doing ok the past few months since he got his extension - thought he might have got another YTS contract! :cry:

As for Ross Fox - i expected that. But all the best to him! :)

[Hazel1884]

The other five except Johnny Black have signed new contracts though.

Thwres was a hat-trick yesterday for Neil McCalum with 2 fine assist from a certain player called Black, which is why I expected a glowing, biased report from Hazel :***:

Do any of the stalkers know who we play in the final and when, where it is?

Not a stalker but but can tell you they won't know until next Sunday who they are playing as thats when the other semi is being played. :wink:

This stalker can tell you it is raith vs alloa!

Speaking to an ex Saints keeper who is now in goals for Alloa tonight and he was saying the semi had been delayed as Raith were playing in the Fife Cup.

[Tranmere Saintee]

MS which ex keeper is that then?

[mainstand]

MS which ex keeper is that then?
I'll guess Blair Hutton.

What do I win?

Correct.

[Cagey]

Wondered what happened to him. When did he leave Saints ?.

[Hazel1884]

Wondered what happened to him. When did he leave Saints ?.
Not sure but I really like the look of the guy O'Brien. He made an error on Saturday by all accounts but on the few occasions I've seen he's looked a good 'keeper although, putting it politely, he could benefit from full-time training.

Saturday wasn't the first time he has made this blunder though - but give him a chance!

[mainstand]

Alloa beat Raith in the other semi.

[Saint Hayley]

does anyone no when and where the final will be?

[soccerchic]

Latest Score 2-1 Saints :D

O'Donnell and McCallum the scorers. 15 mins to go!!! Come on the young lads!!! :D

[mainstand]

Final result 3-1 for Saints and we missed a penalty. They started slowly but then came more into the game and in the second half playing down the slope played superbly well, missed a penalty and had a barrell load of chances. Star man for Alloa was their goalie Blair Hutton which says it all for the amount of pressure that we had.

[soccerchic]

Great result, well done the young lads!!!! :D :D

Who got the 3rd goal mainstand? Bear has become uncontactable for information. :roll:

[Hazel1884]

Is that a new strip their wearing on official site?

Nope - been wearing that one all season :)

Well done to the lads - a nice leaving present for 2 of them and a good way for Mooner/McCallum and Dyer to sign off from the 19s set up.

[Hazel1884]

Excellent news to see Bobby Barr and Mark Gallagher signed up for next season!

Gallagher's been improving steadily throughout the season and will continue to improve training full time. Barr, well he's been well praised already by people who have seen the 19s.

Fairly strong squad for next season with the majority of them staying together, and i'm sure there'd be another two or three willing to sign up if they got the chance.

'Mon the youths! :D
