Think I may just head back down the A9 myself tomorrow to cure the football hangover from last night. I'm sure we'll get a look at the boy Brown and the Easton twins as well, among others. I just hope they've got squad numbers and names on their backs so I know who's who.

As a neutral let me first say it was an absolute privilege to be there tonight to experience that with you all.  I could tell just from the sizable crowd how much it really meant to them all.  Drove a 190 mile round trip on a spur of the moment urge to watch history in the making tonight and it was worth every effeing penny.  25 quid at the turnstile with the missus and I don't grudge it one bit, absolute value for money .  Hopefully this gives the Saints a little financial boost and you guys can go on and upwards.
 
Met some tremendous fans tonight and thought the Rosenberg fans were great aswell, the atmosphere was superb and I just hope that the FC Minsk is just as thrilling.
 
All the best, I will certainly be trying to make a few more Saints games this year.

Just in and giot the result - Surrey Saintee goes aaaaaaaape - yeeeeeeehhhhh

Celtic fan here coming in peace 
 
Just felt like you guys deserved a massive well done i watched the game and got right behind the  saints i only wish more scottish teams could pull off results like this and get our league more backing and our co-efficient back up 
 
Big congrats to the team and the amount of saints fan who were there was awsome you guys did your club proud along with the players and i really hope you guys get behind them at home and stuff them and go as far as you possibly can  
 
Again big well done 

Carlsberg don't do best results in a football club's history, But if they did..............

Just been in and paid mine. First time ever bought a season ticket for any club. Looking forward to next season.

If there is the slightest suggestion that this rumour of 6,000 Hearts' fans coming to McD is likely to be true then Tayside's finest will insist the game be made all ticket.  We should then give them the North Stand, the North end of the West Stand and say 500 tickets for family groups in the Ormond Stand.  If we can sell that lot we will be doing well and I would not jump through any more hoops for Hearts.  If this game really does become "hot" then surely we can pretty well fill the rest of the ground with Saintees especially as hospitality packages should sell well.
 
Personally, I would put the likely crowd at around 7,000 unless something sensational happens like Tynecastle being sold off as a separate item from the Football Club.

Lunchtime well spent on photoshop

He looks the part to me. He's ready to be a star.

Following Jean-Marc Bosman's success at bringing about the re-writing of the football transfer rules, we now refer to an out of contract transfer as a "Bosman".
 
I wonder if, in years to come, when some little jug eared scrotum fails to honour a PCA he'll be referred to as a "Bawsack"?

==== Don't give them any ideas. They might claim he has died and then will be risen again. DA loves that stuff.

Really pleased with these appointments delighted Callum is staying on as a player too as he is still a class act.

Can't say I ever particularly warmed to Lomas. To me he always seemed like a bit of an odd character - often saying what felt like the wrong things, getting involved in various controversies and not really fulfilling the brief of being a people person who would be able to sell the club to the local community.
 
But - and it's a massive 'but' - his achievements with Saints (albeit from a strong starting point) have been phenomenal. To get this small club into Europe in two consecutive seasons, and also manage a third place finish, is borderline miraculous. He also seemed to be able to get the players really, really up for playing for him: rarely have I seen a Saints team so hungry and so driven to push each other over the finish line. The players we have at the moment are nowhere near as gifted as the 98/99 UEFA Cup team, yet they've earned themselves an equal footing in the club history books through sheer spirit. Lomas deserves a huge amount of credit for that (and I think Wright does too, which is why I hope he's going to stay).
 
So thanks Steve Lomas - I think it's a helluva difficult job you've accepted, but I hope it proves to be a good decision.

Sad to see him go...liked the way he had a never say die attitude! Feel he still had a job to do. If the rumours are correct & TW is the manager? Will he have the same connections? This is my only worry...Saints did well with the likes if Abeid, as much as it is annoying to have on loan players, at least SL attracted good quality. Not like the usual end of career moves we have had in the past
Good Luck Mr Lomas! Well Done!!

Yet again it is necessary to remind people about the rules on here.
 
We do our best to keep a hands off attitude to moderation duties but at the moment we are getting a rise in abusive posts again.
 
Can you all please try and not to respond in an aggressive manner to posts you don't like or agree with and especially keep away from the personal abuse.

If he gets sent to the stand at Millwall will that be considered Capital Punishment?

I for one will be disappointed to see SL go if indeed he does go as after a shaky start thought he did an OK job. Think the key here is to act quickly re new appointment and perhaps look to involve Callum as player/coach if Wright goes too for some continuity, plenty of contracts still to be sorted. Whoever is appointed need to get behind them and the club frim day one.

Jody would be a backward step. Or sideways. Not forward thinking.

So many times Saints have gone into a big game (frequently against Motherwell) and completely bottled it. Not yesterday though - we were absolutely superb. We played some fantastic stuff and to a man we were tremendous. I thought 2-0 flattered Motherwell and we probably should have scored 3 or 4. Great day to be a Saints fan and now I'd like more than anything else to see these players sign on the dotted line.
