Squeaky bum time......

As Kilmarnock supporters we travelled to Perth as a family day out today. Spent some time in the city, had some lunch and attended the game.

Irrespective of the result, the day was ruined after one of your ‘supporters’ chose to rip the scarf from our 9 year old son’s neck following the game and ran off with it  as we walked back to the car leaving him pretty upset.

Maybe not such a big deal to an adult but it is to a kid.

Ironically we had helped an elderly St Johnstone supporter who had taken a fall in the carpark prior to the match.

Sadly football culture seems to attract idiots, I know we have our fair share who follow Killie and don’t do the club any favours.

I like St Johnstone as a club and have friends who support your team. I genuinely hope you stay up too. Not looking for anything from this post and the scarf will never be seen again, but naively like to think that someone might read this and know the idiot who caused this today and quietly has a word so that they might just make a better choice in future and not tarnish the reputation of your support.

Best of luck for the remainder of the season. 
 

 

You hit the nail on the head "Sadly football culture seems to attract idiots"
 

If you PM me your address or a paypal account i'd like to cover the cost or send  a new scarf for your laddie - many of us on this forum and 99.9% of those in the stands at home games are football folk, not the idiots who come and go ..... 

Here's an *idea: The Tayside Community Stadium.........

Saints, United and Dee all share

*OKAY OKAY CALM DOON! LAUGH OUT LOUD

I can confirm that all of the above is putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5.  Not remotely true.

More chance of Dee looking for investors to shore up their bottomless pit of cash, and "big club" aspirations.

Interested to know if anyone has any idea who/where or what has happened with our search for new owners....

It would be interesting to see saints go in for George Oakley at Morton 14 in 33 and coming into his prime (age 28). With the goals in the team, it's sort alot of problems out.

I don't think another striker will be high up the list of needs, given Sidibeh, Kimpioka, Clark and May are all signed up for next season.

 

Can win the championship with that front line (if needed)

Levein has done as well as anyone with the resources could have done  - we won't be going automatically down, but might need to play off to prove our status.

Clean Sweep - Mitrov !

*honourable mention: Phillips

£100.00 seemed a lot when first read it, then thought about how much bands are charging for a one hour concert these days - good on the club. Now thinking they probably could have charged even more for a "top table" or remake of the cup final shirt, for instance!

Can we just pause for a moment to think about this: Aberdeen manager is Neil Warnock.

"I went to the local Tesco today, i couldn't believe how many Aberdeen fans there were - they are great fans"

There;s something Donald Trump about him, but in a nice way "yeah, we lost tonight, but a word of apprecation for the boys - they are great guys, great boys"

3 points that feel like 10!

What a great result.

Why even bother making the roof retractable? Just have a permanent roof over the stadium and you completely eradicate any issues caused by rainfall, snow, frost etc. Believe there are a few grounds in Scandinavia like this.

Hammarby is the main one, and they make a packet from concerts

Plastic pitches mind you....

Would love a new ground. Think McD is tired, and it's not a modern stadium any longer. Football has developed so much. Imagine a stadium with a retractable roof? Why not? Multi sports? Put the new ice rink there? New swimming pool?

Big fan of this wee ground , love the look of it https://gotevent.se/en/our-arenas/bravida-arena/

ANY NEW GROUND MUST HAVE OUR ORIGINAL FLOODLIGHTS!!!!!

new website selling stuff - incoming

newsletter updates - daily + selling stuff

membership programme - for tickets, saints tv, invites and money off stuff they are selling

more interviews with sponsors who are selling stuff

 exlusive access to stuff they are selling to give you deals on stuff they are selling 

ALL INCOMING

ps and so they should! Saints are terrible at selling themselves/leaving money on the table.

This is a huge area the club could make advancement in.

Gym facilities used by the first team that could also be rented out and profit made from them. Repeated income from renting out space to PTs and the like.

A hotel/self-service accomodation that would bound to be busy on match days and well used by people at weddings at the likes of Huntingtower.

Upgraded food and bar facilities for pre and post match. Tie in with local food and drink providers for pop-up events, gigs and the like.

There is a ton of potential there.

Hotel is a winner, Gym not so.
But any new owner is not looking at small business opportunities, the land is the attraction

Maybe the reason for being interested in us is something to do with a Scottish family connection? "My Grandaddy was from Aberfeldy" type of thing.

But then they've apparently been looking at clubs in England and all over Europe, so I doubt that.

I think it's simply, as has been mentioned, an ego thing. Owning a soccer team in the UK. Plus we'll be less expensive than other options.

As long as they've got a bit of finance, a plan going forward and good intentions then I'll be happy enough.

Or even better, they're absolutely minted and we're going for the title. 👍😜

I presume they were found by that agency that was working for the club to find new buyers.

Americans are frighteningly good at extracting more value from sports than any other people in the world. And the pound is weak. Regulations lax. Foreign investment encouraged. And apparently we speak the same language as them, so it's an easy deal for them to do. 

But for Saints to be successful, you really need a league that's worth something. 

EPL turnover 5.5 billion - anyone know the t/o of the SPFL?

A lawyer? Great.....

......................alll well and good, but could they get served a pint in the grill?

Two pens ..... this OF thing is getting exicting, I had a home banker on a pen and a player sent off - that's usually how it goes.

Pray for the Super League and that the ugly sisters are invited to join it. 

Perhaps the Paddystinians could join the Saudi Super League as wildcards?

SIDIBEH to get two and we turn them over....

Bair two for Well.  
 

He seems really depressed in his interviews.... can any one get him some pills?!

Expecting a Zander horror show, a Sibbeth master class and Levein to say in his interview "they are an organised side" etc. In the words of @SLF, "in aboot thum"

I'm quite excited by this signing. If you look at our available options, we're never going to go out and sign someone who's scoring 20+ goals at our level or equivalent. So if we go for other Premiership strikers we're stuck with the guys who we know only get three or four goals a season if they're very lucky (guys like Zak Rudden). Or we take a chance on someone from abroad but end up with someone like Theo Bair, who wasn't even scoring goals in the Norwegian lower leagues before he came to us.

This is someone who is actually banging in goals and playing with confidence, albeit at a much lower level. I hope we give him his chance to play quickly, and we're not going to handle him the way Callum Davidson would have: i.e. leave him sitting on the bench for months, getting rusty and losing confidence, while we coach his good bits out of him and try to make him play the same way every other failed striker has played here, spending all game chugging around hopelessly in our own half of the pitch. Just let him get out on the pitch and do his thing and let's see what he can do.

Agree with this. The standard of coaching has been levelled through the leagues, with UEFA type standardisation. I had a manager at a non-league level who was a UEFA pro coach who then went on to be assistant to Steve Clarke for Scotland - and players are getting good coaching, so for some it's the opportunity that's missing. Similarly players who have been in academies, not all can make the EPL, they drop down. This guy is old school rookie - he's been proving himself at his level, and if he's half as good at out level, that'll be good business.
