  1. Just looked through the remaining fixtures….as ever…too close to call, every game! I fancy Saints to turn up on Saturday, need the big calls to go in your favour…..
  2. Heggie was my absolute hero growing up, what a player, what a captain, what a guy! Thanks for the memories John.
  3. I was brought up n Dundee, United are my local team!
  4. Know the feeling rik, I still miss Hegarty and Narey, always will!
  5. Livi have been a disgrace for a long time!
  6. I respect the right of every proper football to bellow such sentiments at least 4 time per season! 🤣
  7. The next fixture card is exactly what Saints would have picked, every fixture!
  8. Fine margins ever game! Other results went for the way you would have wanted.... Ross County and Livi fast running out of games....
  9. Just a bit! That table speaks for itself! loads of blowhards on United board's demanding the sacking of JG.....4pts clear at the top, +25gd better than 2nd place, lost 2 league games all season, stuck in championship for 4 years last time.....some fans are off the scale with criticism! think of those poor Celtic fans, 11/12 championships, 6 trebles.....sack the board????
  10. https://x.com/stjohnstonefans/status/1754110439489777778?s=46&t=yUd-pATQ937flNmn5K2PcA
  11. Fabulous result! Not gonna be pretty, but not much pretty football around at the moment. Don't want to sound like Derek Adams but this league is pretty woeful, and it's now a good old dog fight 7pts between top 6 and playoff, of the teams involved Saints are no better than the rest, but certainly no worse, but looked utterly bereft of hope for the first weeks of the season......not now, they look up for it, great stuff!
  12. As I've said from the start the league is of poor quality atm. Everyone from St Mirren down could be pulled into the battle. CL has done a reasonable job, with very little room for manoeuvre.
  13. Quite right Gar, details matter! 😀
  14. Middleton has been pretty consistent, 12 assists, 3 goals (I think?) certainly ahead of our academy grads in terms of starts. As you say, like most wingers, needs a run in the team and a bit of confidence.
  15. Agreed! Our resources will mean we have a stronger squad as we hit the business end of the season. Big Dunc comes over well, but has his work cut out up there.
  16. Yep! All looked peachie when Jack Ross signed along with McGrath, Middleton, Levitt, Fletcher et al. But went into a tailspin, and never recovered. I heard Zander was set to sign, but his agent (Former manager JMac) told him to wait for an offer from Stoke, that never appeared. United played hard ball and brought in an experienced, and expensive Aussie instead. It just did not work, not to replace him in January was arrant negligence and we have paid the price for not adequately covering a key position. This season we have lost 2 games, conceded only 10 goals, and have looked to part on league duty. Probably best we did not progress in the cups, we have a fragile confidence are in no condition to go to Aberdeen, or Edinburgh far less Glasgow. pretty confident we will win the championship, Holt, Docherty, Moult have been successful at this level, and we really needed players for this level.
  17. 'Hate him', you think???? Employers, especially football clubs must honour contracts, legally and morally. If you feel the need to hate, better it is directed at those who negotiated the contract, bearing in mind a different contract may not have secured his signature in the first place, how different history might have been! Loads of Arabs continually hating on our Aussie keeper for the same reasons. Short career fraught with precarious possibilities, players have every right to hold the clubs to their legal responsibilities or players/managers would just not come. ....or were you being sarcastic?
  18. I'm not yet convinced this will materialise. In principle it makes all sorts of sense, sharing a stadium, indeed merging the clubs (take over really) very nearly happened in 1999ish, but Mr Marr's bottle crashed and he found a plan B. In the years before that redevelopment of Dens for a shared stadium was Jim McLean's favoured option, but Dee were such a car crash they could never get their act together.
  19. We have hit a real sticky spell, but I suspect RR will too at some point. So far we have lost a single league game, long way to go.....
  20. https://x.com/spflwatch/status/1736102313628991684?s=46&t=yUd-pATQ937flNmn5K2PcA Some interview! No humility, no class, just a bad loser. He basically says 'Scottish football is so far gone, even someone as fabulous as me cannot save it' oh how heavy your burden Great One! 🤮I think you're right he won't last long.
  21. Fantastic result and a performance to match by the sounds of it! 3 points behind the Dee, and they have had an excellent season so far! Haven't they? all about perception. 😉 Been a while since you lot have dared to look up the table, enjoy yer sweet, sweet beer tonight.
  22. Aberdeen, Dundee and Utd now American owned....Saints as well? Loss making money pits, attracting US owners? Wtf is going on here?????
