I didn't deserve that. I know this sounds soft, but I joined this forum for a bit of banter about Saints, not to take aggressive abuse. I'm out.

Tommy Wright is the manager and leads the team out. If you want to thank Geoff, how about a wee letter?

What some people might be worried about is no concessions after the JS allocation runs out. It's £35 a ticket after that.

We'd have done bloody well under that rule if it ever existed.

Must be close to selling out our original allocation in the Jock Stein stand

I just got through after all morning on redial - then had to listen to the phone ringing out for a couple of minutes before it was answered. I thought they were taunting me! Interesting that they asked for my email address when I ordered. Can't remember them doing that last time I called.

RSI on the redial button here

Why on earth would they do that? There's still tickets available for United fans - unless they're that desperate to save £7 that they'd sit with the other team's supporters?

That's impressive - wonder how they can physically shift that many, unless there are online sales too? I'm still calling Saints number - the engaged signal feels rather quaint these days.

yep, I've said this too - nearly halfway there already

The people who bothered to turn up for the semi already have their reward: they were present at one of the outstanding results in Saints' history. Isn't that enough? There will be plenty of tickets to go round.

To put that into context, there will be Saints fans watching this final who were on the terraces supporting the club when Tommy Muirhead was boss, and before Sandy McLaren picked up his first cap. Or on a global scale, before Hitler came to power in Germany. All that time a fan, and only now the chance to win the Scottish Cup. Our history may not have been paved with trophies, but it's a rich heritage all the same.

I think it has to reference St Johnstone - can't be too clever with the name otherwise a lot of people just won't get it. Just call it 'St Johnstone Finale' - with the last three letters of finale in a lighter colour to bring out the ale aspect

A list to bookmark for future reference: Teams that are far too good for Stevie May Southampton: “Do people, even in Scotland, still look like that?” Celtic: “Don't know if he'd get a game if Watt comes back” Rochdale: “He has a ponytail.” Rangers: “Big difference scoring for the st johnstones of this world , different matter doing it at Ibrox." Nottingham Forest: “[scores] against pub league defenders.” Aberdeen: “We already have a better striker in Rooney” Sunderland: “99% [of Scottish players] are shite” Preston: “Don't want him, don't like his hair” Peterborough: "He plays for a pub team."

Aye, it's like those commentators who will inevitably insinuate during the World Cup that without Spain/Brazil/Germany in the later stages, the whole competition is devalued. Suspect McInnes has earned it so far - but who cares? If we win the Scottish Cup, that's the only award Tommy will care about

The question that's going round in my head after seeing that pic is why do dummies need nipples?

I thought the same when I read that story - clubs tend to do their business behind closed doors. It's always the same: I remember Alan Main being 'linked' with a German club weeks before he signed a new (and presumably vastly improved) deal at Saints.

What reason did they give for the astro being updated after the Ryder Cup?

Quality player - only risk in signing him up is that he's injury prone. Think he was out for a long time at his last club.

He wasn't waving. He was showing you his watch.

I imagine most of ours will be £28/£10, with some at £35 later on. Source: http://www.dundeeunitedfc.co.uk/index.asp?tm=2&nid=4780&cd=2014

"Entertainment on and off the park" Tommy alluding to his stramash with Jackie MacNamara

Bugger. 17th. That's my train tickets to the final stuffed.

Given that Dumbarton's season will be finished in a couple of weeks, will we bring him back before the end of the season? Pity he's cup-tied: given his form, I'd rather have had him on the bench on the 27th than other options, and experience of the event would have helped his development.

MySpazz, You can't tell the health of a business by looking solely at its balance sheet. There's no mention of the profit/loss for starters. Saints have made a loss for several years consecutively and we need to address that when we have the chance. Plenty of clubs owned by very rich individuals have found themselves staring at oblivion recently. And you can't count on May being sold. What if he isn't? What if the offers are derisory? What if he does his cruciate in?
