monkfish Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Brilliant performance, this is the best team spirit I've seen in a Saints team. If Lomas can keep them at that level for the rest of the season it'll be suitcase packing time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryangordon86 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 I thought there was around 700 fans yesterday but seeing reports saying that we took around 1000. Would be interesting to see the figures. Why do we always take a bigger crowd to tynecastle compared to other grounds outside Dundee? Hopefully this feel good factor will lead to an increase in numbers at games. If a day like yesterday didn't get convince fair weather fans to attend more regularly then I don't know what will.

YHallSaint Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Liam's finish looks far better on tv than it did at the game! Totally agree, seeing it on tv for the first time this morning his touch and finish were superb. I had thought yesterday he took it first time off a deflection from another player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deej Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Think that might have been my favourite ever away day. Left Aberdeen at half 9, didn't get back till twelve hours later. Totally worth it, when Encks saved that penalty we went fcuking mental Cant wait to see the highlights, to check just how good a save it was. Also to see a different view of their penalty, looked soft from the Roseburn. Looking forward to my next game, likely to be Septic at home. We could be third by then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dooj Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Fairly sure it is. If I remember correctly this is the last year Scotland's coefficent is helped by the season that Rangers got to the UEFA cup final, Celtic to the last 16 of the CL and Aberdeen the last 16 of the UEFA cup. We have 2 CL's place (so lets hope Rangers lose 25 points and motherwell fall away) and 3 EL places. One of the EL places is for the Scottish Cup, but unlike previous seasons you have to win the trophy to qualify for the EL rather than the beaten finalists qualifying if the winners have already qualified via the league. So potentially there could be 5 qualifying via the league if one of the top 4 win the cup. The table on the BBC website has a dotted line between 3rd and 4th - what does that signify? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/default.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So potentially there could be 5 qualifying via the league if one of the top 4 win the cup. I believe that is incorrect and that Scotland have 1 CL place and 3 EL places in 2012/13. That would mean that the team that finished 4th in the SPL in 2011/12 would qualify for Europe, if the Scottish Cup was won by the team that finished first, second or third in the SPL in 2011/12. According to Wikipedia (I know it's not always accurate): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_coefficient#Final_ranking_in_2011 "Current ranking The ranking at the end of the 2011–12 season determines the allocation in 2013–14 competitions" I think it's the same for 2012/13, but am happy to be proved wrong.

ex-montrosesaintee Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) 4th place is good enough for Europe, and 5th place if cup winners AND runner ups have already qualified. Just confirmed on another thread. Just saw the highlights on the Beeb and Liam's goal was world class. Enks save was also brilliant, and their penalty was very soft. Player backed into Cracks - I would've given it as a free kick to Saints. Not convinced about the foul on Muzz in the lead up to their goal. He lost control of the ball. Taouil's finish was brilliant though, i hate to admit. We looked a lot better than we sounded on the radio. Classy football. Nice to see Roddy in the stand next to Lomas too.

henryhallsdanceband Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Yup - agree - looked good. Tug on shirt - jeez - the shirt pulling that goes on at free kicks and corners - whatever - WE WON. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aitchy Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Yesterday was one of them days we will be talking about for years. My main feeling leaving the ground was that of pride. I was proud of the players who as usual battled and ran themselevs into the ground for 90 minutes. I was proud of the support we had and how vocal we were.And finally I was just proud to be able to call myself a St Johntone supporter. These are the good times people, lets enjoy them. SJFC.

Aitchy Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Off to Madrid with his missus apparently. In future you should avoid posting such scandalous nonsense, rumours like that dont help anyone. Great to see Fran sitting in the main stand yesterday supporting his teammates.

Jamie_Beatson Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Think people are getting a little bit ahead of themselves talking about Europe! If we stick another 15 points on the board by, say, mid-February I might start to think like that. Historically speaking, we'd have to double our points tally from what it stands at now to be looking at a fifth place finish. We've played less than half our games so far, so of course it is possible, but I do fear we are due for a slight collapse in form at some stage! Here's hoping that doesn't happen until at least the Celtic game of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever happens I'll be back for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
