Feel sorry for East Fife fans, tbh, I couldn't even bring myself to celebrate any penalty, utterly soul destroying stuff. 90 minutes against a team two divisions below, with no attackers missing, and we didn't even force the keeper into a save. Wotherspoon had an absolute nightmare, regularly tripping over the ball, thankfully his playmaking duties were taken over by Liam Craig though, who turns into a left footed Paton in the middle. Scougall seems to get swallowed up by the game and exerts absolutely no influence at all. Full backs contributed absolutely nothing going forward, Tansers only positive is his crossing and it was vile, Foster was his usual "punt ball to nobody, scream at closest person" player. McMillan doesn't look impressive at all, second touch is always him stretching to recover from his poor first touch. A worrying game, have to hope it's just rustiness.

Said goodbye to John today.. Lovely service, some wonderful words from Joss and a couple of shandies at McD afterwards. Roddy came as a rep of the club which was good and there were a few well kent faces there from back in the day. Rest in Peace now pal..

This was no pre-season friendly and I don’t think you can expect or accept the fact it appeared that way.Saints should have had more than enough to take care of East Fife in normal time wheather it was the first or last competitive game of the season. Watt should have had the first 45 minutes not the second.I feel had he been on in the opening spell when we were on top his direct strong running coupled with Wright’s good play we could have had something to show for our efforts. McMillan did very little,Scougall even less,I don’t get Scougall,loads of hype on his arrival about his mazy runs, trickery; finding a pass and the likes but I have yet to be convinced. Folk claim little threat down the left well thank God for Tanser’s willingness to make runs if not for him there would be none.Liam (one foot) Craig for me is now someone who should start games from the bench,there’s no doubting his commitment but he has to engineer the ball onto his left peg then spray an inaccurate pass to nobody.Spoony,brilliant or poor,no guesses which today he’s got get consistency built in there. East Fife undoubtedly had a plan and it struck me they were being more street wise and had they scored from that fist half header(was it a save or the wood work that stopped it)then I think we would have struggled to have gotten anything from the remainder of the game. On the plus’s side the new kit didn’t look that bad in the flesh and at a distance.

Decent first 20 mins.....after that less said the better. Wright was decent and the two young central defenders eased through the game...not that they had much to deal with.

was it an entertaining 1st half against east fife and they booed because, well us vs east fife should be a goal fest or have we played some shite kind of boo?

Who says we need new players when we are holding our own against the mghty East Fife.

Mainstand has a sense of humour ,braw. let the kids wear the cartoon wallpaper .

I blame autocorrect

Could be waiting to see if Celtic qualify for the CL. Big money for Saints.

Was joma the first with tartan? Was it not xara or saints collection that first had tartan strip?

Getting right into the important work, Gary will be the guest on Tuesday Team Talk this coming week. www.hrperth.co.uk

Love it! People asking for tartan then they get it and hate it anyway. Can't please everyone but this gets me way more excited than anything Joma did for us.

That was good of the club, glad to hear it was a nice service and a good turnout

all your effort is greatly appreciated and makes the season more fun, just a suggestion , think its been done in the past regarding crowd - 250 and 500 for old firm matches?
