Havana Saint

There is nothing to stop fans of other clubs voting for option A which is honking.

Saturday 17th will be the year anniversary of Mehmets death. I just recieved a message from Firat, who many will know from joining us on several of our European trips, who has said that Mehmet's family were very touched by so many kind messages from Scotland.
Firat has asked if Saints fans could possibly send a message on this anniversary to let him family know that he isn't forgotten. If any fans who wanted to could add a message to the Saints or EsEs facebook/twitter, he has said that would be appreciated.
Thanks

sad news,
we share in our brothers from Eskisehirs sadness............R.I.P.

Have to agree about Cummins as stated previously by myself played well until he got his new contract and has never performed to that level since can see why he has been released at a few clubs,tommy has a nightmare Kane getting there works his socks off Cummins not good enough and macca brilliant but the man is not getting any younger

Only an idiot would let spoony  go 

Great away point. Got the BBQ on and very happy/merry.

Liam..
LEGEND. I think he played well yesterday.

Sun says Hibs want to sign Danny on pre contract. Being a Hibs fan I assume he will sign.
Saints should have had him tied up ages ago.

I don't think our striking problems are due to tactical set up etc but more down to a lack of quality in our forwards. Cummins is now a waste of a wage and Kane is still very raw and will never be a 25 goal a season striker like May was. 

It would be great to see your numbers grow. 

Love this.

The point you make is exactly why i would like to see something change. Our midfield, the one put together solely by TW, is not working and the guys who he brought in as cover give no better option. This is why (generally speaking) when subs are made they don't affect the outcome. We desperately need to change our style of play especially at home and try to attack more. If the midfield had players to pick out up front or in a wide position then the negativity of sideways or backward passing would be greatly reduced. I see a midfield who look frustrated every game as they are simply not being given options to play.
I also agree that we are currently going through the most successful period in our history but the signs are there that this period is coming to an end and with the squad we have it really shouldn't be.
   

I am not putting Saints achievements down over the last few years. What they achieved was incredible for a team with our resources. I had waited 40 years for this and when the cup win came it truly was one of the best days of my life however you have to remember that football has to be entertaining to get bums on seats and what we are producing now is, in Edstars words, turgid. If we continue to play this negative style of football, especially at home, the crowds will reduce, the season ticket sales will decrease and the team we all love will inevitably slip into the bottom half of the table. Cetrain posters can slag me off as much as they like but at this moment in time we are behind rangers and hearts (who are no great teams) and i cannot see how playing one striker up front at home with no plan B by our manager is going to get us out of this or get fans flocking back. Remember St Johnstone are a business which needs revenue and the fans are our lifeblood. The teams we have bean neaten by at home lately should never be shown such respect as to play one up front, come on Tommy lets have a go at teams at home and get the entertainment back..

We have no game next Saturday.
Stirling Albion at home to Wick in the Scottish Cup.
It's only half an hour along the road.
You know you want to.

If it was Stark, CLark or Lomas  in charge we would be screaming for them to be sacked, after 3 straight home defeats, against shit teams  in the bottom half.   Sort it out and keep the faith 

There's no leadership on the pitch, we went a goal down and were completely lost out there. Where's the fight or determination to grind stuff out in games? We don't have that anymore without Davidson in the middle.
For me, Anderson isn't a captain.
I don't know what is going on in Wotherspoons head because he is a complete shadow of the player he can be, he shouldn't be near the middle of the park. Just a massive liability.
It's a damn good job we have Swanson in the team because we'd be in a spot of bother without him.
Any word on Zander? And while we on about Zander, is it just me or has he stopped coming for crosses?

Fair City Unity 1 Saints players 0

1929 - Imrie and McLaren - Scotland v Germany (1-1)
1996/1997 - Griffin and O'Boyle - NI v Germany (0-1), v Italy (0-2), v Belgium (3-0)

Utterly bizarre that we can't get a player in our own shite international squad, whilst our reserve goalie (no disrespect intended) is set to PLAY for a different, fairly decent international team.

On the back of the BBC Scotland  "Great Military Charity Scandal" documentary this evening, I think the vagueness of the club's statement last week surrounding auctioning football shirts for an "Armed Forces Charity" should be a multi layered concern for all St Johnstone fans.

We've now conceded 6 goals, in the last five minutes of matches.
v Celtic (4-2), no points lost 
v ICT (2-1), cost us a point
v Aberdeen (1-0), put us out the cup
v Dundee (2-1), cost us no points
v Partick (2-1), cost us a point
v Hearts (2-2), cost us a win
 
Without them we would've been four points better off, and two points clear in second.
 

Another set piece goal against. Someone needs to take control when facing set pieces. Whether it's the gk or Ando doesn't matter but this has happened too often recently.
Decent  point but feels a bit like a defeat.

FIFA's rules on this are actually pretty clear:
"Equipment must not have any political, religious or personal slogans, statements or images.
Players must not reveal undergarments that show political, religious, personal slogans, statements or images, or advertising other than the manufacturer's logo.
For any infringement the player and/or the team will be sanctioned by the competition organiser, national football association or to be justified by Fifa."
 
Don't think there can really be any doubt that Poppies are covered by the above. And I still say the FA and SFA are only making a fuss about this because they want to be seen to do so in the eyes of the knee-jerk tabloids and the poppy bullies. Let's not kid ourselves that these football associations are doing this because they care deeply about the issue and have suddenly sprouted some sort of social conscience.
