  1. Wonder how the saintees in the **** end got on! No way i could have stopped myself from going mental! Least they would have had the place to themselves for the last 20mins :lol:

    well myself and lad were in the top deck of the main stand, the club deck I think they call it (on a corporate freebie 8) ) and both of us jumped up when Savo's overhead kick went in. I also heard a few other saints fans nearby so we were not alone. No rangers fans said anything then but did when the second went in - nowt serious though. And yes, we did virtually have the place to ourselves towards the end. There was a wee group of 5 or 6 fans clapping saints off the pitch (after the easy, easy routine - a quality moment!), either gracious 'gers fans or saintees.

    I must take this opportunity to stress how much noise the saints fans made - all crammed in that wee corner. We were sat the opposite side of the pitch and could hear you above the nearby rangers fans. All good quality stuff too, best for me was the 'WE are the people' - why do rangers think they are???) No wonder the players went across.

    I saw a bit of the protest after the game - at the time they were chanting Murray out. According to press reports they wanted PLG out so the fans either changed their tune or the press have their own agenda.

    Still with daft grin on my face here at work and all the rangers fans seem to have disappeared! THIS is what supporting a smaller club is all about - thank you St J.

  2. In the same vein as DuncM, I've followed the teams local to where I was living at the time. Strangely, each of these teams gained promotion not long after me moving nearby. These include Leicester, Carlisle, Hull, Blackburn and of course saints. The downside is that most of them have been relegated soon after! I still look out for the results of these 'past' teams plus Welling United :oops: and my in-laws team Boro.

  3. I think the point that folk are trying to make is we draw too many games to win the league. Ok, maybe we are unbeaten but you can finish the season unbeaten and only get 36 points (which would have relegated us 04/05 season).

    If we had drawn every game I'd suggest 36 points may not result in relegation. All other teams will have scored 1 pt for the draw. Some will have lost in other games so could have had less points than us and got relegated.

    Pedantry over! :lol:

  4. Better to win one, lose one than get two draws.

    Draws killed us last season.

    To an extent I agree with you Radford but I think it depends who the draws (or the win) are against. Had we lost last week at Livi and won today we'd be a point behind livi now. Instead, with two draws we are level at the top with them. To me, the key is to ensure we do not lose against other potential promotion candidates.

    How many of us would have been happy with two draws last saturday morning?

  5. he refereed the hibs v falkirk game yesterday and by all accounts made a complete dogs whatsit of it. He sent off a substitute (who was warming up at the time) and then booked a player twice forgetting to send him off (in a Graham Poll stylee). Another player was sent off after the game!
