I would be happier if May stayed and Brittain didn't

Quoted in today's Herald as wanting to go back to Saints and claim a first team place.

Saints need to take a risk here, give him a two-three year contract, he wouldnt command that big a wage you would think, we should have done this with Davidson because potentially we would have made money out of it

I think we have also lacked the pace and composure of Sam Parkin

Its hypocrytical saying they are bad for diving, we have picked up a few this season and last as well

He is the fittest saints player, he runs his arse off EVERY game, will be a big big miss next season, will have to replace him well

Celtic are 15 points ahead currently and although its likely they will win the league its not quite been the disgraceful, embarrassing cake-walk that many in the media were predicting.
Looking around europe and Man UTD are also 15 point clear? So does that make the Premiership an embarrassing mess?
In fact its in the much vaunted Bundesliga that Bayern Munich are racing away and are 20 points clear. Its generally the Bundesliga that held up as whats going right for football with ticket prices and attendances. So, Hearts aside, its no really that bad is it?

I'm not advocating a new casuals group here, just a potential way of getting more people in the ground!

Today's crowd was horrific. I suspect there were possibly less Saints fans in the ground than we have season ticket holders.

I did something I don't normally do today before the game - I went into town for lunch with a friend. The pubs were heaving - particularly those showing football. The bookies was heaving with people putting on football coupons. The town centre was busy - and many of the people, mostly kids, I saw were wearing football tops.

Yet how many of these people made it to McDiarmid today? How many even knew there was an SPL match involving a team now a win away from second place in our country's top league not two miles from where they were out, spending money.

Surely a presence in the town on matchdays would help. Get some nice looking young PR people out in the street spreading the message from midday until half two when we're at home on Saturdays. Even better, equip them with some tickets, and maybe some kind of mobile credit/debit card device, and sell tickets on some kind of deal. Do a deal with Stagecoach so that said tickets also entitle the bearers to a return journey on a 1/2 bus to and from McDiarmid.

There were thousands of people out happily spending cash in Perth today, and hundreds, if not thousands, of those were football fans, I suspect hundreds have some kind of allegiance to Saints - but their money was going to Ladbrokes, William Hill, national pub chains, and various shops and not to our club. Instead of backing their local team they were watching TV in the pub.

There was nothing in town to suggest an SPL match was taking place nearby today and that it was a viable option to attend. That needs to be addressed at the very least. We need to make it far easier for people to attend, to put it in their mind that it is something they might want to do.

Selling tickets online would also be a good idea, as I think blueheaven forcefully put it the other day! Get a weekly email blast out to people ahead of home games with a link to online ticket deals. If you buy them early enough they're posted to you, if you're a bit closer to the time pick them up from the souvenir shop. A pound or two off the gate price might just be enough to tempt someone sitting at their desk on a Tuesday afternoon to commit to attending the game on Saturday. If you've already bought and paid for your ticket you'll ignore the fact its a bit chilly and easier to stay in the pub when Saturday actually arrives.

It was in the last section of seats at the scoreboard end and read Lomas must Go. Absolutely ridiculous.

Who was that utter tit with the "Lomas must go" banner? What do you really mean to achieve with stupid stunts like that? It was like harking back to the 101, I hate McInnes days. Get a grip, its not like we are in a relegation dog fight. We are pushing for Europe for a second season in a row. The first time in our history may I add.

I hope saints do something to remember Darren In the upcoming game, whether that be a minutes silence or black armbands, i know east stirling are doing the same

Normally when a St Johnstone player gets a full international cap we feel proud and join in with an appreciation to the player capped. Not question if he is/was good enough

Cammy bell, Probably not ben williams atm but he has MASSIVE potential and randolph

Liam Craig is right up there with guys like Dave MacKay, Steven Anderson, Murray Davidson and Chris Millar. Decent, hard working players who have a lot of respect for their club and all those associated with it. They will also show a bit of loyalty. I think we are really lucky to have players like that at our club. Give me a team full of these guys over those who will walk over anyone to get to where they need to be any day of the week. I will genuinely be sorry to see him go if he does decide that now is the time to move on. I think we can all appreciate that some people just feel they need a new challenge after a while and this would probably fall into that category for him. He has been here for a long time relatively speaking. He is the kind of player you would be more than happy to keep for years but would never deny him the opportunity to better himself. Fair play to him whatever he decides.

Best game in ages today was easily the best saints player in my opinion, was trying to be a bit more direct and is someone who plays better with a better atmosphere
