Kelty Hearts vs St Johnstone - 22/01/22
full steam ahead replied to Pat McGroin's topic in Saints Chat
Brown had to be hooked at half time for Middleton or Mikey. Good defender and certainly not a winger. An area where we needed to hurt them. How many occasions did we play the ball back and forth across the back 3 to then follow it up with a punt across the park. Then the subs that were like for like and ended up with Middleton playing wide and May up top on his own. Can’t understand why Ciftci and Kane were both replaced . Wednesday is massive and the reaction from management and players will decide what happens moving forward. -
Saints January '22 Transfer Activity
full steam ahead replied to Melbourne Saint's topic in Saints Chat
All to do now?? Crawford is like watching a wee boy with no fight or no effort to put bin any tackles as player after player walks past him. A deal no chance should be goodbye. MacPherson not good enough✋. Devine and Mullar will both return to there clubs. Ambrose will go as not playing in a poor poor team, whatever happened? May sadly offers nothing as a striker plays more as a centre mid. Etta will he disappear in January? Lack o forward thinking has hurt us badly. The face o the club is Bev and what a job she does. -
St Mirren v St Johnstone Saturday 19th October
full steam ahead replied to R.B.B:- Adz's topic in Saints Chat
Another horrible show. Through thick and thin and trying to motivate my kid who has only seen good times. First half neat tidy football and good chances to finally lead in a league game this season. Chances missed and same old story we gift goal. Good finish but piss poor defending . At half time I was in the mind frame we would come out and have a good go and the rewards would come. Sadly there was only one team that came out second half. Could have and should have been more than 2 . No leaders on the park . Defence all young boys getting punished and pulled all over the place . May as a 1 up top is not and never will work. Never looked like scoring but never got any quality service. Kennedy for me has been piss poor this season. Down far too easy and would rather try to take the opposition on himself than pass . Eventually giving the ball away and ending with him looking like Peter MacDonald on the turf again and again. Back to 442 but who knows what defence to play at moment, booth at centre back? Said at the start o the season we needed a target man in the box with the players we have out wide . -
Great day out and a team fighting for each other . Bullet header and sweet finish from Alston. Looked a def pen to me . Tanser has turned in to some player. And a bench full o quality fighting to play .

Motherwell v Saints 20-10-18 K-O 3pm
full steam ahead replied to The ghost of Jim Morton's topic in Saints Chat
Brutal game to watch and no better feeling than a last minute winner. Motherwell put it about with the likes of bowman in there squad. Dray Wright our best player on the ball again . Muzz likes a battle and big Liam Gordan stood out for me -
St Johnstone v Celtic Betfred Cup QF 26/09
full steam ahead replied to Saint GB's topic in Saints Chat
Not to be tonight . Paid my money and as always supported my team. Spoon for me had a good game tonight as did Alston . Backs to the wall with no out ball first half . Tony watt is not suitable for the lone striker role . Penalty box forward in my opinion. Second half had hoped we might have opened up and had a wee bit more o a go at them . Typical goal down then chuck on the additional striker. Tynecastle Saturday why not . -
Kilmarnock v St Johnstone Saturday 4 August 2018 Premiership
full steam ahead replied to Radford 72's topic in Saints Chat
Poor performance , Watt got no service and we never looked like scoring . Comrie was on a hiding to nothing and got a hiding. 5 4 1 why did we not stick with 2 up and have a good go. We so need a aggressive box to box midfielder who can put a foot on the ball. Not easy next week but we can't play much worse. -
Dominated from start to finish. Need to see the penalty , poss red card incident on tv. Thought we got lucky there. Great team performance. Kano and Alston (away from some early slack passes) were stand outs for energy and aggression. Brilliant celebrations from the players after 3rd goal. More o the same needed for Friday night.

Hearts v Saints Sat February 10th Scottish Cup 5th Round
full steam ahead replied to garydavidson's topic in Saints Chat
No heart no fight no leadership . Tommy decided to go one up top . First goal another mistake. Every time Hearts came forward , where was our player to step forward and challenge and make them make a decision. No back track stand off and make it easy. Then to sub midge . The only player we have that is composed on the ball and a leader driving his teammates on. Sorry joe is not a captain. He is as bad as a do at the mo . Punt another high ball in to open space. Second half should have been 4 could easily have be 5 . Tommy is like a broken record in his interviews.McMillan and the Wales lad will have to be some players to save us .Ando,Joe ,Tanser, Denny sadly just not good enough. -
Fantastic day out , Midge was class on and off the ball. Always shouting and driving everyone on , midfield leader . Scougall was full o energy in his best position behind the front man , great shift . Big Denny ,Alston , Pates and Craig worked hard . 3 good goals after a mare o a start where we could have crumbled. Man for man playing for the jersey. Hearts at home next . Same starting line up next week. Cummins great strike
-
Rank rotten sadly Aberdeen streets ahead of us . 3 easy points given away again. gifted goals and not looking like scoring . 10 mins before half time only bit fight and challenge put in. 2nd half was like a meaningless pre season game. Tommy please play midge we need someone who can keep the ball and pass. Scougall our best player again. Mikey will we miss him when he returns to the Rangers ? Not giving enough for me Defence is everywhere. God I wish we still had Scobbie.

St. Johnstone v Kilmarnock - Saturday, 2nd December 2017
full steam ahead replied to PanamaSaint's topic in Saints Chat
Did Mikey want to play ??? turning up late thinking , will just be watching now. How many times of late have we questioned Mikey and his commitment level. Prob knows he is going to have to return to the Rangers and wants to return fit . Transfer window is going to have to be used well !! -
Targets for January in our budget ? Swanson on loan after Mikey returns to the Rangers, maybe not everyone's favourite,but can be a match winner something we are sadly missing. Would he be available on loan is the question , not happening at Hibs - going a mistake on his part. Some unknown from England on loan , we all hope can do a job will prob be what we get . Denny Johnstone back down the road . Replaced by Kane and hopefully McMillan . Will he - won't he sign?

We are St Johnstone not the F####n old firm . I have heard it all today .internet full o moaning gits that need to get a reality check . Moaning about the poor support but watching it on tv. Maybe if you turned up it would help to finance and attract better players. A bad run , the team and management team need the fans to get behind them . Hibs away then Killie at home Coys. I remember years stuck in the first division.

Poor again . Gift from Mannus and after that Dundee were better. They looked stronger won all the 50/50 balls . Glad to get in just 1 down . 2nd half they were better till the crazy last 20. Anderson disallowed goal would like to see that again . Mikey well marked and then injured . Johnstone not overly effective, Cummins was better when he came on . Striker position is a worry,Macca sadly needs a runner to play off him . Johnstone and Cummins don,t look likely to score many for us . Hendry be worth a game and offers a different option . Good to see midge on the bench

Partick Thistle (H) - Betfred Cup Round 2 - 08/08/17
full steam ahead replied to dave mc's topic in Saints Chat
I think Alston has something to offer if played in the correct position , we used to stick midge out on the wing . Our midfield is decent plenty options ,sadly offer nothing in front o them . Cummins did not lift his head just thrashed it as hard as he could in a forward direction . Kane is not the answer . Macca sadly is about done. Transfer window will be use ? -
MOTM Kilmarnock 1 - Saints 2 - 05/08/17
full steam ahead replied to ex-montrosesaintee's topic in Saints Chat
2 great goals . Spoony was excellent today. Mikey can,t get near the Rangers first team , they must have some players to pick from. -
Scougall our big signing to replace Swanson , Tanser looks a bomb scare at the moment to replace Scobbie . Scobbie who could play right across the back 4 . Young midfielder and forward question being will they , are they good enough for 1st team . O'halloran could we, would he come back ? . We need someone with pace that Scougall could link with and make runs for him . The budget - surely there is enough left for a quality front man ?
-
What is happening with Scobbie and Mannus ? Thought me might have got a idea at the end today . Both went straight up the tunnel . Replacement for Danny required someone who can make something happen see a pass. Another striker but who ???

MOTM Hamilton 1 - Saints 0 - 01/04/17
full steam ahead replied to ex-montrosesaintee's topic in Saints Chat
Cummins for effort 2nd half . -
After what had been a poor first half , then the fight . Nine players giving there all and unlucky not to take a point . The nine players showing what St Johnstone are all about. Fight, Togetherness , 100% team effort . The reason we are where we are . Pates looked gutted at the end . Cummins Put in a shift , young lad from Preston looked decent. Swanson big player when he wants. Foster far better than most fans had expected . Think the club will terminate both players contracts.
