Melbourne Saint

.... In hindsight gives you the biggest satisfaction? 
For me, it wasn't just winning the double yesterday.
I still remember Utds fans singing "you've never won f-all" at McDiarmid about 10 years ago. That rankled. Then 2014, the cup. Amazing, put that to rest. Then the league cup, which I admitedly was not particularly focused on until we beat Hibs in the Semi, then out of no-where, a final. That LC win was great. I thought "well, that's 2 cups now, shows the Scottish cup wasn't a one-off".
I also thought, "that's us done now. We've won everything realistically we can".
But there was still a nagging doubt. 
That we hadn't beaten either of the Uglies on the way to lifting those cups. Somehow, the only real measure of achievement was not simply winning a cup, but knocking one of them out on the way to lifting them.
So, I still felt a bit like we'd won those cups by avoiding the toughest test- the OF. In the back of my head, for years to come, I could hear voices saying "yes, you won the cups, but other teams knocked out the OF".
So, it would take the gloss off them.
Then Ibrox. Against the team that would end up unbeaten in the league. It wasn't the nutty manner in which we won, but the future importance of it.
I was delighted- to knock out the H-ns at Ibrox, and in a crazy way. But I also thought that the victory meant we wouldn't lift the cup again, merely made the path massively easier for the remaining teams, to fall as others had done prior like Ross County, St.Mirren - beating the OF in the LC, but failing to lift the trophy.
Then yesterday- the double. Amazing. Simply amazing.
But that win at Ibrox makes it so very, very sweeter.
No-one can claim we fluked cup wins now, won by avoiding the OF. We have a double, and in achieving that, beat the Invincibles on the way.
What..... A....... Team.

Ha,ha!!!! Another Saintee!!!!

It's hard to look at the game logically... The penalty miss, thought we were going to pay.... But then I thought, "Hibs aren't creating shit". We had easily the best chances, should've been 2-0, Hibs beaten fair and square.
AND THAT GERRARD AND ALL YOU WEEGIE "JOURNOS" IS TACTICAL MASTERPIECE. ROLL OVER ROMMEL, PATTON, ZHUKOV, KING ARTHUR, MONGOLS, ROMANS, GREEKS, EGYPTIANS, SPANIARDS, ALL HAIL GENERAL DAVIDSON!!! 

Never been interested in Chelsea or Villarreal results. Normally looking out for Motherwell results (or worse). Bizarre times indeed....

Rooney 33rd minute v Livi, 32nd v Hibs. 
Synchronicity.

Hello Saints fans, sometime Perth resident and Stoke fan here, once again, to celebrate another fantastic achievement!
I wish I was still up there and able to join in the fun tonight for a quite superb season. Thankfully, the pubs are open again and you can celebrate in style!
I watched the final and, as an 'almost neutral', I can safely say that Saints thoroughly deserved the win and were by far the better and more attractive footballing side.
Two cups in one season, just fantastic. Delighted for my old town and the many Saints fans I used to know in the 90s back before three cups were safely in the trophy cabinet! 

Go on the gaffer.

Boyle never in the game & resorted to his usual five in the box.
Hopefully refs can see through him now & not even give him stonewallers.

Absolutely made up for The Saints, my late father worked briefly in Perth in the early 70’s and made me aware of the fact that St Johnstone were formed from a cricket club like my team Sheffield United and you’ve always been my favorite Scottish club due to his memories of his visits to Muirton Park. Enjoy your day and all the best. 

Credit to the ref btw, 3 huge decisions, all spot on.

All the best everyone....

I need to drink what you drink very very deep apart from the last bit

I have to say all this stuff about what competition, seedings, £3m, playing to Christmas etc is all a bit nefarious to me right now.
Let's just try to win a really tough game and let the UEFA shit sort itself out. We're in Europe. Let's get the double. End of.

You get stars in McDonald's. "You've got a star, why can't I have a star?"

McIntyre's was most excellent. Closed down by health & safety due to rat infestation. Looking back, I'm not sure if we were eating rolls or rats. But they still tasted braw.

You should go back, guaranteed to get the same glass you had last time you were in.
