Mike180279 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I was at the game earlier this season down there and also the two last season. Not a ground I really like, but totally fired up for this already. Last Saturdays disapointment is done and dusted. Hope the wee social club has the sense to put extra staff on this time, earlier on this season there was only one wifey on who couldnt crack a smile. come on the saints, 3 points pleassssssssssse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Maskrey Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 He said it because he is ignorant of Chris Millar and because he likes to slag my posts. Wouldn't take him too seriously, he even implied that Millar cannae score! He obviously knows nothing of Millar's time at Morton. Any need for the condescending post? Just because he slagged off your post, he hasn't been the only one, surely the sensible thing would've been to point out his mistake and leave it at that? I didn't know Millar's nickname was Midge, does that make me ignorant as well? As for the game, I can see another draw here. I fear our lack of match action and lack of goals may affect us. That said, Savo and Hardie have had extra rest so should be fighting fit for this one. I reckon 1-1 with Savo scoring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time we went, we went to the Morton Supporters club in the town , about 10 minutes away from the ground which was okay. Hopefully we are booked in there again this time.

It'll do me again, right next to the ground and cheap drink. Hope we take a big following, Dunfermline at home this week could do with the 3 points. Mind you EEP isnt exactly a fortress these days!!

silver_blue Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I think we should be cautious and optimistic. Morton are on a decent run but far from impregnable. They have already spilled 15 points at home through a mixture of defeats and draws. This is nearly twice as bad as our home form. No doubt who the superior team/squad is. Cmon saints Are you going to do another pre match interview for the guy in the Norseman with the cameraphone ? Shocked that never ended up on Youtube.

I also cant remember exact details but sure the McDiarmid Capacity was increased ever so slightly having been there for a few years, we put extra seats in at the back and added a couple of hundred.

CynicalSaintee Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 As "easy" a 3-pointer as we'll get this season. But this is the first division, so goodness knows.

saintj Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 be disappointed if hardie were to jump straight back in but he may give us something we have been lacking and if he is playing well he can certainly pick out a killer ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
