    Sorry for taking so long to get the flag out to Barossa for folk to pick up.
    Primarily due to me expecting to make every away game and actually managing none since Dundee in December.
    Love that it's currently unbeaten on the road. Let's hope it stays that way.

    I think that's very possibly the harshest thing I've ever read on here.

    The Inspiration got a reaction from Kyle in Top 10 complete Saints marketing fails..   
    Biggest marketing fail ever for me was not getting season ticket forms out for 2014/15 after we won the semi-final. Handing them out with cup final tickets at the ticket office and putting them in envelopes to those receiving their tickets by post.
    I often wonder how many ST holders we could've had that 14/15 season (and subsequent years due to habit) had the club been on the ball

    The Inspiration got a reaction from 541ntees in Andy Murray - Scotland's (and Britain's?) Greatest Ever Sportsman?   
    Sad to hear of his impending retirement.
    Seems to have started a debate across the media - social and print - as to where he ranks amongst Scottish and British sportsmen.
    For me, he ranks highest in my lifetime. Chris Hoy comes a close second for me.
    The names of Lewis Hamilton, Anthony Joshua and Ronnie O'Sullivan have all been mentioned with regards to current competing sportsmen but Murray shades ahead for me.
  10. Thanks

    Delighted to have finally caught up with both Joss and his brother Saul to present the match ball, embroidered captains armband and some signed programmes from Midges testimonial. Just like to say thank you  to all who were involved  on behalf of Chris and all my fellow testimonial committee members for your sponsorship and  also to Jason for  organising you guys and John Walker for kindly donating the ball to the family. There will be an article hopefully in the next issue of the Saints magazine. Probably should not be using this photo  but hey ho..  Cheers everyone.

    Any Exiles in attendance tonight? My brother and I are going to collect the match ball from Midge's testimonial on behalf of our grandad (kindly donated to him by @john.w, the winner of our raffle) at 6.30pm tonight.

    Apparently Hearts game will be Tommy's 250th game in charge since his appointment in June 2013.
    Let's hope the players make it a pleasant memory for him.
    C.o.y.s.

    Just to let you all know, SS/AS/PS was cremated in Panama last week and his ashes are home. We're having a memorial service for him in St Matthew's Church on Tay St, Perth at 11am next Friday 13th July. Invite extended to any friends or family who would like to attend. Thanks, Joss

    THE EXILES HAVE REACHED THEIR TARGET !!! 
    Thank you to @Jad and @stanley saint for their contributions, which with them takes us over the line to £500.00 collected for the match ball sponsorship.
    Off the top of my head I think there are 17...18 Exiles (from far north Arctic Canada to the Falkland Isles!) who have made the match ball sponsorship possible.  - including @The Inspiration repping for Captain Marnoch.
    'll post a full list of names in the coming days.
    @The ghost of Jim Morton can you PM me with details of how you want the money paid (Cheque/Bank Tranfer/PayPal?)
    MON THE SAINTS!

    Hi everyone.
    Found out the news about my dad on Friday. It was very sudden but as none of his family were in Panama at the time details are few and far between at the minute. Expecting a call from the Embassy in the next couple of days and will know more then.
    He was a great Dad and loved nothing more than telling me on a Saturday morning who he’d been winding up on WAP over the last few days and who he was beating in the predictor!
    Being away from Perth for many years meant this place gave him an outlet for all things St Johnstone and enabled him to have debates and conversations, which many of us get in the pub on a Saturday afternoon, with all of you.
    Thanks to anyone who berated him, nibbled at his bait or rised to him any time he put up a nonsense post as he thrived on it and, while he often came across as abrasive on here, it was always in jest with a tongue firmly in cheek and his way of still being involved with saints from a far.
    My brother Saul and I (Joss) would like to pass on our thanks to everyone for their kind words and for humouring him over the past few years
