Millar nowhere near the team............ Must have been shopping for Croc's
 

Quotes from Millar about what happened at the start of the season.. 
“It’s been a funny season! Obviously I was told I could leave the club which is never something you want to hear as player. It was never a case of being forced out of the door though – the gaffer was open and honest, and he just told me that he didn’t envisage me playing as much and that if I wanted to be a regular at this point in my career I could look elsewhere.
It came as a bit of a surprise I’m not going to lie because I featured in the European games in the summer but that’s football. You can take these things two ways; you can take the hump and sulk, becoming a negative influence on the squad, or you can get your head down and work hard. I chose the latter and I’m really happy that I’ve managed to get back into the first-team.
“I never doubted myself and I always felt I had the ability to force myself back into the reckoning. I want to be here at St. Johnstone – playing and contributing to the squad – and I still feel I’ve got plenty to offer the team. I’m feeling as sharp as ever and just want to keep on performing whenever I get the chance to pull on the jersey.”

He knew fine well what waited for him at Rangers. Although I get the feeling those advising him convinced him it wouldn't be that way, purely for their own benefit. His career has been ****ed with that move as he'll struggle to get his stock as high as it was at that point. 

Gormless eh? If they were offered better gigs elsewhere they'd be off like a shot... every single one of them; but when the boot's on the other foot... Time to take those rose-tinted specs off. That team has it's place cemented in the club's history, but nostalgia  doesn't win points. This is the here and now, not May 2014.

Players age; they're not as quick as they used to be (or in some cases they're even slower than they were); it's a natural progression that every side goes through.
Transition is never easy unless you throw obscene amounts of cash at it, so we've always got to have one eye on the future. Over-reliance on players who aren't getting any younger is only going to store up a lot of trouble.
Yes, those players won the Cup, but as a side we've been deteriorating since then simply because of this over-reliance on the Cup winners who aren't getting any younger and who are clearly visibly slower this season. We need to move on, and by playing the younger players regularly we will do that. Stay with the same old same old and we will stagnate before being relegated. Onwards and upwards.

So you'd prefer it if we keep playing the remnants of the Cup winning side until they're on Zimmer frames, eh? Great, I can't wait!

Faith in too many players who have performed in the past but have underperformed this season.  As has been outlined by numerous others, (I agree with them)  something like 7 of the starting XI in the cup final team are still at the club and really are in the twilight of their careers - that's being tactful.  It is sad to see the demise of players of high calibre historically.  I read with interest the prevous posts surrounding the end of Dasovic's career, a quite exceptional talent who played for the club. 
"Love is blindness" as the song goes..  You are only as good as your last game.  Monday night was extremely encuraging on many levels.  Our future is what we want it to be, not grasping to previous glories.  It starts with the nucleus of the team on Monday.....onwards...

I think his point is that some of that team are deemed untouchable and cannot be criticised. We should be eternally greatful to that team, but it shouldn’t deter from that fact that a good portion of them that are still here are passed their sell by date.
 

Tommy loves an ageing target man so it's probably John Toshak.

What do people expect him to say when his employer puts a camera in front of his face and asks him if he's happy to be there?
What the guy says in interviews is totally irrelevant. What would concern me a lot more is the fact that, from what I saw, both his form and fitness looked pretty poor in the latter part of his spell with us. O'Halloran flying at his best would be a major weapon for any side in practically any league - but let's be honest, it's not something anyone has ever seen much of for any prolonged period.
I still say Saints have played an absolute blinder in getting half a million quid for him, from a lower league club who couldn't afford it, at a time when he wasn't even playing well, and then on top of that getting him back on loan again, largely at that other club's expense, to (albeit briefly) give us another burst of the form that he never showed for them.

Going bust and sectarianism....you don't get that at St Johnstone either.

Saw Geoffrey Hayes at the Edinburgh Fringe a few years back. Really nice bloke. Think he must be in his mid-70s by now.
Hmmm. Someone in our squad in a 'bear costume'?... That's got to be MOH... Hahahaha!

Haha.
Geoffrey ended up working in a supermarket I think.
Do not know about the rest.
Who is your Bungle in our squad though??

Shame to see Zippy go but wonder when Bungle goes??

Can remember a couple of times we have done this in the Past! pretty sure the performances when we got playing was "Well that was a waste of time" if I remember correctly, give them a week off then two weeks off running up Kinnoul hill,Laps of the North Inch and shooting/passing practise until they get it 100% correct all the time.
That should keep them warm enough.
 

"Oh my God, they've snatched the third..."
Priceless

Goals. Have the sound on...

Manager & player of month award strikes again.
 

We faced Hibs in similar circumstances, and I'll say it again today... away win is in the bank.
