    It's the UK with the complicated relationship . Finland has been in the EU since 1995 and uses the Euro. Norway is the one that's not in the EU but in the EFTA, EEA and respects freedom of movement from EU Countries under Schengen.

    Good lord. That's pretty much as good as realistically hoped for. McCann back to his usual self, Muzz being the destroyer in midfield. Rooney has in fairness had questions about his defensive side, and he couldn't get into his strength, attacking. But Babel & v.Arnhalt getting subbed showed he put in a good shift against quality. Special mention to Devine- only his second pro appearance at top level. Whatever happens in 2nd leg, this result gives us massive confidence, whether we play Randers or (likely LASK).

    I cant believe that result.
    Was honestly expecting us to get smashed, and that wasn't because i believe we are a poor side, just that the incredible gulf in supposed talent was SO big, it was a foregone conclusion.
    I was there in Norway, and thought that had to be the pinnacle of european results in my lifetime. 
    But that has eclipsed it.
    Going to istanbul (and barring the 1st 15 mins) competing toe to toe with a supposed euro giant?
    And bringing the tie back to perth very much alive!
    Achievement of the century so far.

    The subbing of Babel and Van Arnholt really changed it. They were giving Rooney a really hard time first half. Without them, they never threatened as much until the latter part of the game.
    Pity away goals don't count any more.

    Yes. And whenever someone looked to stand out it was all about how much they would be sold for and where to. Foster even trying to say 1-1 against 10 men would somehow be a bad result?!?!

    It wasn't bad but for a tiny lapse in judgement it could have been sensational.
    Some absolutely superb performances but Ali McCann was one of the best on the whole pitch. He won't be here long.
    Not to be negative but the set plays were awful.

    Yep considering how it was for him in the first part of the first half, he did really well to continue to be effective.

    £3million + i'd say. Zander and McCann a shoe in for MoM. Zander also a shoe in for Scotland keeper. I thought Davidson was pretty good too.

    Worked their socks off . Might have gone for it a bit more against ten but Callum probably got it right as usual.

    What a result. Shame we couldnt hold the lead for a bit longer as I truly believe we would have won that. Cant really fault anyone, great result and fantastic performance.
    Lets get them on our turf. Theyre beatable.

    Don't know what the temperature was but what a shift everyone put in .
    Hope the effort & travel doesn't effect them on Sunday.
    Think they would have got the same result against 11.
    Pity Devine got done by one mistake after having a good game.
    Ref didn't give in to the Gala players , management & crowd. Unusual in Europe.

    One game in and we've got McCann labeled shite and useless and the manager getting criticism for not having players fit enough in their first competitive game to match a side who've been playing them over the past month.
    Great stuff. WAP season 21/22 starts with a bang.

    I don't think so. You have to consider that it is now easier to qualify for the tournamnet, We took the back door into the competition on a penalty shoot out.
    Once there only 6 teams out of  24 don't go through to the knock out rounds. As it turns out all we would have needed was 3 points and a 0 goal difference. Also, England only scored one goal more than us.

    Sheldo got a reaction from Melbourne Saint in Streakers at McD   
    From memory, this one was in 1997 on the day we were presented with the 1st Division trophy (possibly against St Midden?) after we had won the league by 19 points or something. I was in the Ormond stand (aged about 13). He completely floored 2 stewards and a cop I think and made it over the big gate into the car park, which is no mean feat. I seem to remember the PA announcer at the time saying something like "Substitution for St Johnstone: No 1 Alan Main for a Streaker" as Main stood pissing himself laughing at it, then made another announcement saying Tayside police were looking for a donation of a spare pair of trousers.  I doubt an announcer would get away with that these days.
    I remember another one a couple of seasons later against Killie which was also a guy, but he didn't put up quite a fight against the security.

    I always thought we missed a trick by not getting Durex to sponsor us. We could adopt the nickname of "The Johnnies". Great marketing opportunity on all sides!

    Yes, agreed. Tierney is perfect in that left centre back position. I think you have to get a system to get your best players playing in their natural positions. Exactly like Saints did last season..

    He had at least 5 centre Half's in the squad yet he played McTominey & Teirney at centre half. I don't think that Gallagher who was a stand out in the play offs & I don't think he even made the squad in the last 3 games. Not that I was advocating Gallagher who I don't think had a great season.
    He has to stop trying to squeeze Teirney & Robertson into the same team. I don't think it works.

    Was probably the best 0-0 I've ever seen. In fact, it's the only time I've seen a team (England) effectively get gubbed 0-0
