    Stumpy1949 reacted to 50yrs a Saint in Dave Mackay Testimonial Dinner   
    There are now over 280 tickets booked, with still room for a few more. With reference to a video of main parts, I will raise at next committee meeting on Tues 15th. 
    We still are keen to gather more raffle and auction prizes, and if you wish you can pm me and I can arrange to pick up if you have anything suitable.
    There will be some very good auction items, many of which will be extremely collectable. It is hoped that people will get the opportunity to register online bids, so that exile Saints and others unable to attend the dinner will also get an opportunity to bid.

    Still disappointed! Tuesday night very disappointed, thought I would feel different Wednesday, NO, today after watching the games last night I feel it's an opportunity missed & even more disappointed... after the elation of Saturday I think everyone was expecting good things! We did a 'Saints'... 
    have to say I didn't like the fact that after one league & cup game some our fans have already selected 'scapegoats'.. not good. Doesn't help foster a good atmosphere IMO... anyway I am sure 3points against Motherwell will help take the bad taste away!

    I could understand this rubbish if we had lost in the 89th minute due to an error from him. Get a grip & dry your eyes.

    Bit of an over reaction this, either that or not Scobbie is gone and Spoony is performing we're simply on the look out for a new fall guy. He completely stifled Jamie Jones, the player Aberdeen are making £250k offers for and who was one of the most productive wingers in the league last season, to the point where he never had a sniff of even getting a decent cross off. He had one shaky moment with a poor header towards his own goal, but I'd say Easton struggled more out of the full backs. Both were perfectly fine though.

    How how do you know it wasn't top of his list? Maybe his top target wasn't available early on and he was prepared to wait? He's replaced Swanson and brought in much needed pace, so has actually improved us from last season, a season which we finished 4th with the strikers available. 
    Im not saying we don't need a new striker, we clearly do, but I fail to see how any saints fan could be disappointed by the way this transfer is going.

    Just to try and help Tommy could  people on here just list the players they think he should sign because it's obvious that you think he doesn't know

    This Storey is miles better than the Sammon storey that's leaping a bad taste in the mouth.

    The lesson I'm learning from all this is that Sammon will only be considered a success here if he manages to score goals without anyone devaluing them by giving him assists. Quite right, too.

    Yes Kane was caught offside but on at least 2 of these occasions the player delayed the pass though to him. You can't have it both ways, you can't ask him too make runs in behind then not give him a welll timed pass.

    This thread is massively disrespectful to our greatest ever manager.  Tommy will be the first to admit he isn't perfect and he got things wrong against Trakai, but the stuff on this forum is very poor to say the least.

    Stumpy1949 reacted to 50yrs a Saint in FK Trakai (A) - Europa League Round 1 - 06/07/17   
    Had a great couple of days in Vilnius and met lots of friends, groups of other Saints supporters and friendly locals. Other than the result a great trip overall. One disappointing thing for me was the group of Saints fans who left the Zuvine bar and restaurant, just beside Town Hall Square, on Thursday afternoon without paying their bill of over 50 Euros for food and drink! We paid the bill rather than leave the young bar staff, who were great to us throughout our stay, having to pay themselves out of their meagre wages. If those who left without paying did it by accident, through drink or whatever, then I hope, if you are reading this, and it jogs your memory, that it gives you a pang of conscience. If it was done on purpose then you are a disgrace to St Johnstone, Perth and Scotland, and should stay at home in the future.
    If it was you , or you know who it was, I am not looking to be repaid, but the guilty individuals may wish to make a donation to Saints Youth Development in lieu of your free food and drink in Vilnius!

    Got home 9 last night : thoughts on the game ,Saints put a hell of an effort in against a team that did to us what we have done to teams  . They sat in and hit on the break . I'm proud of the boys for there efforts not just in the match but in what they achieved last year in qualifying for Europe . 
    The travelling fans we're awesome   And took over bars with good natured singing and fun 
    Vilnius is a great city with cracking bars ( good local beers ) and  resteraunts ( cracking food ) 
    excellent trip . Unlucky result , thank you Saintees

I will tell you .these players bust a gut and gave there all to become the 4 th best side in Scotland.they are our team representing our city ,the fans and Scotland.just because they couldn't cut it with some Lithuanians.bollocks I say.

    I always feel proud of our wee team & supporters.. however I am vexed reading some reports on social media of fans booing Cummins before he's even stepped on the pitch.. booing our side .. sorry not on.. especially not in Europe & not away from home! I know folk will say you pay your money etc but I like to think Saints fans are better than that..nobody was more disappointed than me watching us crash out of Europe.. some people may want to remember what it's been like in a lifetime of watching Saints! Certainly they should see the irony in booing the team after crashing out of Europe.. especially when you can look back & remember what life was like in the 3rd division .. not to mention cup defeats at Stenhousemuir etcetera ;-)
