    OldPoster got a reaction from Shibbydoo in Game on Hibs TV   
    Ok people thought I would share
     
    The game is being streamed live on Hibs TV for people living outside of the UK, It costs £5.99 per month and you can cancel as soon as you sign up
    There are a couple of things that need to be done
    1) Change you DNS to Anywhere outside the UK (Unblock.us is a site I use)
    2) Sign up at an address outside the UK (Use a family member who lives outside the uk or your favourite hotel)
    3) Make sure you select Worldwide Monthly
    4) Switch on at 14:45
    5) Say thanks to me

    Emm.. On his Wikipedia page, there's a link to a newspaper article in which he describes himself as a left winger. I'm going to stick my neck out and say that this information is probably more reliable than the opinions of fergiefootball on WeArePerth.

    OldPoster reacted to Pat McGroin in Semi Final tickets   
    I went to the effort to write out a response as to why I couldn't make it up for a ticket (for which there are several valid reasons, excluding the 3hr journey) but decided it's actually none of your business. 
    Never in history have Saints tickets sold out on the day they've gone on general sale. It was perfectly reasonable to expect to be able to buy one going on past games. 
    Excuse me for not wanting to fork out a premium to sit amongst a few hundred fans in a stand that hasn't been fit for purpose in my life time.

    Imagine having two job offers and taking the one with highest salary to support your family. Unforgivable.

    Dow was the best United player by far in that final, and clearly frustrated by the shite around him. Always thought he was a quality player and hate when he plays against us. That's always a good reason to want a player to sign. Unless it's Scott brown. Then I hate him playing against us because he's a walloper.

    I suspect that Livestream, UStream, Periscope and Meerkat are not viable as they wouldn't not meet UEFA broadcasting criteria
     
    However there is no true way to police this and if someone can get a plug and wifi they could stream it all through any of these mediums

    Step up the adventurous saintee to strap a cellphone onto a key vantage point, log into some free event streaming software such as http://www.ustream.tv/ , hit start, send link to known conspirators, and sit back, take the glory as the pioneer of Saints TV!! Step up that man!
     
    I'm ****ing pumped for this game but will be dead in the water in terms of any decent live information. How absurd that we need to play in Armenia before we get television coverage.
     
    As an aside, I've written to saints twice about the webTV market, possible revenue, but no response yet.

    Why is it strange to play a team from another country who are at the level of who we would play in Round 1? We are also playing Aberdeen and we will play them another 356543 time this season!

    What's wrong with just two leagues, a Prem of 20 and a Championship of 22 ? I've always though this split shite is a bit banana republic especially not playing equal home and away games. What next, be like formula one and award a shed load of points for the last game of the season !

    I Don't really think we have done well this season because of what Steve Brown has done. We are in the position we are in due to the miracles that the coaching staff and players are performing.
     
    Brown has
     
    1) Cut wage budget
    2) Fannied about at the start of season regarding budgets
     
    These 2 points for me are things that have not helped and we are lucky that the harmony of the squad has seen us through
     
    However I will recognise that he has put money into the infrastructure............... But for me this would has only been done to increase the value of the CPO
     
    Can anyone actually list what "Infrastructure" has been put in place?
     
    Anyway - for me this is a Well done to TW, CD & AC

    Depressing.
     
    Ditch a wonderful player with great feet, vision and awareness and ability to score and create goals for a player who relies on brute strength and has very little technical ability.
     
    Granted McFadden let us down with his 3 match ban but he's been terrific for us in the time he's been on the pitch.
     
    I do see what Tade brings in terms of effort and being difficult to play against but I'd rather pay my money to watch genuine talent.

    How do you gauge a good youth setup?
     
    If you get 5 players into the first team and get beat every week
     
    or
     
    you win every game of the season and get 1 player into the first team?
     
    I know as a youth coach its option 1 for me every time i'm asked as I am not there to win matches I am there to develop "individual players" not the team as a whole (which would be great)

    I will not claim to have a complete grasp of all the ecomic and social implications of how the vote goes, or understand what it will mean for us in the eyes of Europe / the world. All I know is that it is not the rallying call of the YES camp that is swaying my decision, it is more the condascending attitude of the NO camp treating us like we are second class citizens who should be happy with our lot, regardless of how shit it may be.
     
    It is also the fact that Westminster is clearly only interested in themselves, and London. The majority of MP's there, from all parties, are nothing but self-serving, cheating, lying a**eholes. Will our politicians at Holyrood be any different? Maybe not, but at least they will be our self-serving, cheating, lying a**eholes and we will have a lot more power to try to make things change should they really stuff things up. Just now, we are powerless over our own fate. Even devolution (for which we should have kissed our master's feet for the privelidge) comes with massive caviats.
     
    We are a stronger, prouder nation than England and we have let them drag us / keep us down for too long. We are a more adventurous, forward thinking and inventive race than them and going it alone with allow us to flourish. If we fail, we fail because of us, not because somebody in London failed on our behalf.
     
    I hope we vote yes, and I hope that those from south of the border who live here continue to do so.
     
    Hopefully we will truly be able to answer the question of what country we are from as 'Scotland'

    Which is the exact way a provincial club who is trying to protect their assets should be doing, It doesn't cost a lot to tie up and 17 Year old for 3 years, but if he becomes a player and you try and renew his contract in a breakout year he might be looking for 10x what that deal would have been for and you may lose him for next to nothing
