Saintly Child Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 On a side note Stuart I missed the game but listened to your show on the radio due to work, well done for giving it tight to Rowan Vine and to Mr Spiers. Love it, you should have just given him the malky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ghost of Jim Morton Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Spiers is a fecking zoomer and if I saw someone punch his puss in the street I would intervene and demand that the guy did it again and again ( and again........).

Never herad the show but glad you got him "TELT" Saintdunc, AthensSaint and MySpazz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ex-montrosesaintee Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) I turn the radio off when Sportsound extra comes on, because I fear I would lose the plot completely if that Spiers wankstain 'caveated' another great Saints' performance with a dig at the size of the crowd.

angus-saint253 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 This type of stat is fantastic and a reflection on the whole team rather than just those getting the final touch. I've no doubt Maclean would feature on the same list if he hadn't missed the last few games Wendy Saints 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cristo Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Bigger talent than Sally? I want to say yes, but you've just made me sit and think of some of McCoist's big moments, and he was a helluva talent. Greedy? Yes, but he scored goals. May. Greedy? Yes but he scores goals. I think May will go on to be a better memory for me. That's if he ever leaves, of course Wendy Saints 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born2Bru Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 That was 1970-/71 ..... sorry. That's what I guessed, but your scores are all wrong for that. Check here: http://www.statto.com/football/teams/st-johnstone/1970-1971 Our goal difference in finishing third was 15. Celtic (1st) was 66, Aberdeen (2nd) was 50 and Rangers (4th) was 24. Obviously a lot of high scoring games away from Muirton as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greedy? Yes, but he scored goals. May. Greedy? Yes but he scores goals. I think May will go on to be a better memory for me. That's if he ever leaves, of course At 27 I'm far too young to remember a young McCoist. I also think it's impossible to analyse players accross eras because the game changes every 5-10 years. I remember McCoist as the Polar opposite of May. I think of him as an old fashioned poacher. A guy that acheived nearly all his success inside the opposition's box but I only remember him playing in one helluva CB team in his 30's and at Killie in his later years. I'd be interested in hearing opinions of guys that watched him during his time in Perth with regard to his playing style compared to later in his career. Also how did his scoring record compare with that of May? I know players change as they grow for better or worse. Keigan Parker being a prime example. His work rate was second to none when he first broke into the team. I remember him chasing lost cause after lost cause, harrassing defenders and generally giving them no peace for 90 mins and we quite often reaped the rewards from that. Maybe If he had continued to work like he did when he broke into the Saints team instead of believing the media hype and gaining a Billy Bigtime attitude he could have went further in the game. He maybe wouldn't have acheived the success of a Kenny Miller but you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Christmas Jones Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 http://youtu.be/-H4tmpq3AFo As you can see from these highlights he liked to shoot from any distance as well as being a poacher Ryzo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He maybe wouldn't have acheived the success of a Kenny Miller but you never know. Seen him (fat sally) play at Muirton and he was a quality striker. Aye a lot of his goals were poached (ala Jimmy Grieves stylee) but he did score from outside the six yard box on the odd occasion. The main difference between them for me is Stevie May has more in his locker as far as making his own chances most of the time and his assists. And May wants to be here Sally couldnae wait tae get away. Oh.. and they were/are both greedy wee bastards at times.

cristo Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 He was much more than just a poacher at Saints, Ryan, scored some great long range efforts and wasn't frightened to run at defences, often running rings round them and scoring or setting up a goal. Remember, he was a hungry teenager when he played for Saints, in later years chances were just set on a plate for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
