ancientsaint Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 SFA dont want Saints in European football again. I dont think Saints will be playing in Europe next and to be honest I think it might be a good thing if we do miss out this term -Particularly when the squad is unsettled- with guys moving on and the potential of a player ripping up his contract after discussing it with the Chairman -I dont think we are ready for Europe and would rather have another tour of Ireland instaed and take it from there.

Sorry ancient but I don't think it's ever a case of being ready or not.. the simple fact is we have a chance this weekend to equal our highest ever league position, something we've only achieved twice before in our history!

Ancient you are usually the most sensible dude on here.... European football, 2 years on the bounce would be fantastic for Saints. Might even attract some more fans back. Lets not forget that it was Euro footie that attracted the likes of Tade to us in the first place...........on second thoughts, mibees Ireland then.

Wendy Saints Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I can see both sides but as I have said before if you have no ambition you would be as well watching football doon the inch. Wright's ban stinks on so many levels! 1. Let's win this one for EVERYONE connected with Saints, players,manager, fans! 2. Let's hope we DO qualify for Europe, it would be a right 2 fingered salute to everyone out with Saints. 3. Let's give Craig, Muzz, et al who are leaving a whale of a send off, and prove that unlike some other teams playing, not just in our league that we are a team of integrity. 4.

ex-montrosesaintee Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Wind up or not, Ancient raises a big issue here. If we make it into Europe, we will have an unsettled squad, but that is the norm for teams outwith the OF - one year deals being the standard, and players seeking better deals each year. While we have a handful of players with undecided futures, so do every other team, and the lure of Europa League football will undoubtedly put us at the top of the list for players who want a new challenge/experience. It's a huge incentive for us to get behind the team for Sunday IMO. MySpazz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastered Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 The changeover from one season to the next will always result in an unsettled squad to some degree or other for a club the size of Saints. Therefore if you believe Ancient's reasoning, Saints will never be ready for Europe. And that would be one hell of a team talk by Lomas prior to the Motherwell game - "Ok lads, throw the game, but don't make it obvious, because we just won't be good enough for European games."

MySpazz Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Lot of people bashing the guy who questioned our chances. Gonna go on record as feeling the same. I looked more than 4 times at flights, and genuinley considered attending the match. My reasons for not attending: Kick off time is ridic We "always" lose to 'Well (my experience, rather than fact) It'll be on TV somewhere I have to me Lark Saint! My reasons for even considering the long journey up: The club has done a FANTASTIC job of promoting this match, and shout out and mad props to Cunningham Video. I still #believe but .....

ex-montrosesaintee Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 He has been speaking about budget cuts again. I see that now - sorry. I would suggest that the budget cuts apply across Scottish football though, and not just Saints. All of the out of contract players in the SPL cannot go to the OF or down south surely? I mean times are tough. I work in the housebuilding industry, and have to accept that I look for work in another industry, or accept poorer remuneration to keep doing what I do best. How should football be any different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not slagging him in anyway. Its realistic. His pre match interview is much better than reading it in the press. Its not a moan from Lomas he answered a question honestly. ex-montrosesaintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex-montrosesaintee Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 completely agree. However, it suggests that we overspent this year, either through an unrealistic budget or by spending more than budgeted on players. I suppose its a problem of not knowing what reconstruction will mean etc too though. Players are on short contracts, and we can't plan for next season. Very frustrating.
