I wouldn't want to be a member of a club that would have me as a member! But then again I'm a right knob, so looks like I'd belong in the Barossa!

Go on then, just for shits & giggles - Tommy to SevCoGers - Ally McCoist back here. Although not till after the QOS match in Feb, we want to win that one! And yes I am temporarily insane.

Used to live in Dumfries, so will be going up with the missus from Coventry for the weekend. Only 488 mile round trip. It's the wife's birthday the week before so if I sell the trip as a romantic getaway, then casually say on the way up, "oh, I didn't realise that Saintees are playing there this weekend- shall we go?"

I realise that it wouldn't raise enough revenue to sign players, but it's a real bugbear of mine that there is precious little Cup Winner merchandise on the website -a couple of t-shirts, a polo shirt and a 60 quid photo album (that has gone online today). I'd have spent at least 100 notes in the afterglow of that amazing day on the usual stuff- for myself, friends and family. Campus has a few (and only a few) things on its website, I ordered a mug last week from Campus but was told today that the one I've chosen won't be available for 2 to 3 weeks. No problem, I chose another. But why can't the club put more stuff on their online store? Surely they're losing out on some extra revenue.

Well I ordered my Cup Winners mug (not really much choice for other merch) last week from the Campus website. Received a phone call from them today saying that it would be about 2 to 3 week wait for the mug I chose, but they had the others in stock. No problem, I chose one of them and it's on its way today. The chap from Campus said that they only do the merch as a favour to the club and don't make anything from these sales. Great service.

I don't know why he's got such a bad name - how many times have we all said we'd love Saints to sign a player because he's hungry for it, and you can't deny that he doesn't lack bite. Cannibals get a bad press in my opinion. Suarez's favourite pre match meal? Spleens on toast! Badoom-boom-tsch.

A cake starts off soft then goes hard, a biscuit starts off hard then goes soft. I do both, depending on how much I've had to drink- Fnarr-Fnarr, Badoom-Boom-Tsch!

Easy win against the Swiss, I'm sure their defence has as many holes as their cheese.

I've noticed that the online shop isn't selling much Cup Winners stuff, only the t-shirts and polo shirts. I live too far away to just pop up to Perth to visit the Club shop or Campus. I got my cup final scarf/t-shirt and cup winners t-shirt from the Teamwear website. I emailed the Club in the week after glorious win to ask whether any merch was going onto the online shop, but didn't receive a reply. In the couple of weeks after the final I probably would have done £100 easily on winners stuff, but as the post winning glow undoubtedly will begin to fade, and we move into next season (£40 on new shirt etc)- I'm going to get less and less interested in getting any. I can't be the only Saintee who lives in foreign fields who would spend some dough online. It surely can't cost too much in either cash or man hours to get the Cup Winners merch on there.

This last week i've watched the 10 minute BBC highlights on tinternet, Sportscene highlights, the whole of BBC's Saturday coverage, SFA Defy The Odds, plus various YouTube vids. I've even watched the semi against the Dons! Loads of great pics to see too. Well done everyone. I emailed the Club today about something, and in the email I also thanked ALL of the staff who work behind the scenes to help make the club what it is.

Here are some pics, a few by me and a couple from Facebook... http://s1290.photobucket.com/user/wazeroonie/library/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-05

Got back home to Cov at about 6pm, did all the usual stuff (cuppa, put stuff away, dinner etc)- but all the time my head and heart was back in Glesga, re-living it all from about half past two onwards. What a day. It's been great sharing it with you all. Here's to more memories.

I thought that lots of Arabs hadn't held cards up, but the I saw that they were black cards to try and show the animal thingy on their badge. Would have looked god if it had worked. Their day didn't get any better. Ha.
