  1. No. The situation we find ourselves in it's a horrendous deal. Financially it might make sense, but we're a football club and we are challenging for Europe and a cup, much more important than 500k.
  2. Here, Gary McDonald could say that to me, but you're not a Scottish Cup winner so you're not allowed to make such disgusting suggestions thank you very much.
  3. He's a Scottish Cup winner, he could stand in the middle of McDiarmid singing Rule Brittania while doing the red hand and I'd still never have any negative thoughts about him.
  4. Cup games are quality because they're a one off and you know one bad day and you're out. Home and away legs would spoil it somewhat for the fans imo.
  5. While I agree with you about David's team being far too ambitious, I'd argue Parkhead is pretty much the ideal place to go with experimental line ups, it's pretty much a free hit.
  6. Can we use his full name please. *Scottish Cup Winner Gary McDonald.
  7. He doesn't strike me as a confident man and he's not as young as May. This could be his only chance.
  8. We've qualified for Europe 6 times in our history, why on earth would we not want that again this season? It's the highlight of the year.
  9. I am actually baffled about the delay, the longer it goes on the less confident I am that we are getting them. Surely they can't go to Hibs?
  10. I don't understand why there's even a discussion. Hibs are a shambolic club with shambolic fans, give us the tickets and make Tynecastle that bit more sophisticated and good looking for at least one afternoon.
  11. I'm sure I was on my way to the original game when it was called off, seem to remember it absolutely battering down. A young boy scored in the rearranged game, can't remember his name but I don't think he ended up doing much other than that...
  12. Being (very) kind let's say that 500 extra fans go if Hibs get them at (again being kind) £20 a pop. That's £10000 of which only 50% would go to Saints. To suggest Saints would actively **** over their fans for (a very generous estimate of) £5000 is lunacy.
  13. My memory might be deceiving me, but I'm sure there was a lot more than 70 fans at Airdrie that night.
  14. I don't understand the delay tbh, we've sold out, surely a phone call to say 'geez our extra tickets,' should take minimal time? Fair enough actually physically getting the tickets might take a couple of hours but the actual process of confirming we are getting them should take minutes. I wouldn't worry personally though tbh, no chance they'll turn down our request.
  15. 'He couldn't be arsed' is a nonsense. The pitch is atrocious, someone that loves to run with the ball is obviously not going to be able to play their natural game.
  16. Looking very positive, I can't see Saints releasing such a positive statement unless they were confident.
  17. Saints fans are class anyway, good looking and well natured. Hibs fans look like extras from Trainspotting. The less of them the better.
  18. We should really hand our Scottish Cup to Hibernian. It's really not fair a club of their size and might haven't won it for 114 (one hundred and fourteen) years while a diddy club like us won it two years ago. We don't even have any fans to celebrate it.
  19. The semi final at Hampden would have ruined the match and day experience considerably. I mentioned it on p+b but it took us three days of season ticket sales and seven on general sale to sell out the Roseburn for the Aberdeen game. Every Saints fan that wants a ticket will get one, I'm absolutely convinced of that.
  20. I'm teetotal now, just going for an orange juice and a good, fair game of football. May the best team win. Na, I'm back on it as of the 30th, don't sweat son.
  21. I tend to go to the Roseburn bar and turn right down that street, normally plenty parking down the side streets there at the weekends.
  22. Adam Morgan at Hamilton was a different league of ineptitude.
