The Belvidere across the road...

Brings back memories!!!

Thanks 1884 - bang on you win the tickets for the Nolan's Concert...

From Official Site:

The short tour will start on Friday evening 20th July with a game yet to be confirmed and then on Sunday 22nd July we will meet Finn Harps with a 7pm kick off. The games in the Emerald Isle are completed with a game against Ballymena United on Monday 23rd July at 7.30pm.

Brilliant at last the king of pre-seasons is back. Remember when we filled two hotels Barrys was one of them. What was the other?

Tam Cowan has just informed me that Motherwell have sacked Maurice Malpas and aim to approach Saints about Owen Coyle. Has anyone heard rumours to this effect? Motherwell websites are also speculating heavily about Stephen Kenny.

BBC Pundit and former football agent Gordon Smith inherits the Chief Executive's role at the SFA tomorrow. An advocate of summer football, a 14 -team SPL, and play-off systems. Is he good news for Saints?

Well done the directors - now can we have promotion to the SPL, a ban old firm fans from the entire ground, a UEFA Cup trip to Monaco, pre-season friendlies in Dublin reinstated forthwith, and all-night raves in Muirton Suite.

I draw comparisons to a Keigan Parker.

Weatherston is fast, and his off ball running is particularly good. I thought he was the best player in the div 3 playoff first leg, scoring a goal and setting up the other.

youth on his side, which is good, but not tall enough and was a little light on his feet at times.

QUOTE]

Does his signing mean that Felipe Morais will now not return to Saints on extended loan?

These folk who post rumours! I don't know!

When does rumour become fact - the official site per chance? A Radders you are losing your predictive touch.

I understand DW is on his way. 18 goals last season. If he can make the move up the leagues - and no reason why he can't - a good addition to the squad.

Those of you with arachnaphobia turn away now a spider is coming.

Nope, Beatson & Dr Dev beat us to that honour!

Your forgetting Radford's love-in with Mostovoi

Aye the usual, dont like this, dont like that, oh i didnt like that but now i do (the strips ) then the usual who will we sign, who have we been linked with, jason's gone - big surprise etc

walking through Glasgow today and a jerk shouted 'C'mon Gretna' - not gone away yet Kev.

It seems an age since Saints have had pure quality at both right and left back. Goran Stanic is god, great going forward, and better defensively than some suggest. In fact Nakamura and Sproule are still in his back pocket. But right back is less convincing - stop-gap showings for Ando and Mensing, inconsistent selections due to injury and mixed-reviews for Andy Lawrie.

So:

Who can fill the right back slot?

And who makes up the greatest pairing in the club's history?

Walking along Byres Road in Glasgow this morning, I bumped into new Thistle boss Ian McCall, who claims The Jags will be too good for Saints next season?

Discuss.

hope the cowden game is a saturday, could turn it into a wee session

wee jimmys and the woodside braw

...sad its off had already booked a table for four at the Tapas bar at the posh end of Cowdenbeath....Bet you never thought you'd read that...

Had to be for the excitement when Martin Hardie scored in the last five minutes against Gretna to win 2-1.

For sheer desperate relief his goal against Clyde when we had to win felt good too.

The inevitable has happened, big Jason is gone. I wish him all the best down south he has earned his chance. Makes it even more important he is replaced with quality by OC given the injury probs of Savo....

All the best now and for the future and thanks for the memories, especially that goal at Motherwell.

Who says I am not oor Betty...................

Because her real name is Betty Haskins and she was born in Muskegon, Michigan, 1946. She didn't drink in the Abbotsford and the Muskegon Branch of the Saints Supporter club wasn't established until the Totten era.

I've just read the official site's explanation as to why there is so much white on the new strip, to accomodate the royal blue logo of sponsor George Wimpey.

Some fans won't like it but its a credible explanation and if we win the First playing in fair-isle cardigans I'd be happy.

It could be a lot worse - Livingston's sponsor the year they went bust was Intelligent Finance. And Ross County played with Aberdeen Asset Management as a sponsor, to my knowledge the only time that a team has played with a rivals' name on their strip.

I hope that Keillers of Dundee don't get ideas above their station.

Any more sponsors from hell?

Roddy Grant is one of the special guests on stage at the Concert Hall in the second half of Off the Ball Live. Thursday night 19.30 a few tickets avalaible, the hall has opened up the balcony for overspill crowd.

Perth Concert Hall

Stuart Cosgrove and Tam Cowan, stars of Off the Ball and Offside, salute Scotland’s national game. In an unmissable evening of hilarious comedy, football’s Odd Couple let rip with up-to-the minute topical material and reminisce about those unforgettable moments on and off the park.

Due to the popularity of this show tickets are now available for sale in the balcony. Tickets are also available on www.ticketmaster.co.uk Perth Concert Hall page

Call me a fence-sitter but I agree with both arguments. "Come on you saints" - he moaned.

I remember him being called Mary McPhee! Came from never having tackled anyone during his Muirton days!

Sad news indeed.

RIP Mary one of the great flowing passers - fond memories. Maybe the first modern midfielder in Saints history. The rest were mere half-backs.

i dont think oc can be blamed for not givin him his chances

he played Wullie when poss because he is/was the player for the foreseeable future

however, i do think Fil is a v good player and would love to seem him again next season. especially with savo back in the 1st team...

i think OC is keen to get him back. With so many games at the end of the season he didn't get the coaching and direction he deserved and is due another chance. Good addition to our squad - gives us depth and width.

Ok, there is a lot of controversy around due to season ticket pricing and the new strip and of course every one should be entitled to their opinions.

So, how about listing some of the positives which may negate the feeling on the forum at the moment that the club is not caring about the fans views. Which incidentally, I dont believe is true...............

cheaper going to see Saints than it is to wacth Betty lavette in concert - Betty.

New total is 11....

Will happily help with a small sponsorship if you can get this going. I'd love to sign up but work means I can't always get up to Perth. I can't tell you about my job as it involves working underground for the Saints propaganda department.

Probably true! We used to gub Airdrieonians (20+ league games undefeated) but the minute they became Airdrie United and took Clydebank's place in the league, we can't beat them!

Your showing your age Rads when I was a teenager we couldn't beat Airdrie for ten years. Even the great '71 team got humped 5-0 by them, probably our worst defeat in one of our greatest eras.

... not as posh as Monaco....
