Balhousie Blue 1884 Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Essex I know how you feel when you say the missus is turning anti football. Mine absolutely detests the game and I`ve really been able to p*ss her off the last few weeks. She can`t understand how I got so excited about Saints winning the cup! I don`t even try to explain to her - if you need an explanation you can`t be a Saintee! essexsaint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOODLUM65 Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Balhousie, that is exactly the same situation in our house. She said it was bad enough between the semi-final and the final, but since the (epic) Cup final it's got worse. If you get an ailment, do not complain, as you will probably be told "don't tell it to me, tell it to St. Johnstone, as you think more of them than you do of me". Women..........................oh don't think I'll go there...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balhousie Blue 1884 Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Aye Hoodlum, they are indeed a strange breed! we even asked if my missus wanted to come on a European trip but even the thought of her visiting a foreign city with us Saintees was enough to put her in a rage! Strange, strange breed!!!!! HOODLUM65 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintscotty Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 My son and i have the same problem in our house. My wife hates football and was constantly moaning at us for talking about Saints 24/7 in the build up to the final, truly doesn't understand that Saints run deep through us.To be fair she did phone us at full time and was genuinely pleased for us that Saints won, she even came down to the parade on the Sunday. Now talk is of who we'll get in Europe and where's our season ticket forms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abernethy Saint Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Mine has taken to it big time, but has a way to go. There was an embarrassing moment in the bus on the way back from the final when she announced "well that's us done a final; won't need to do that again". I still can't explain to her satisfaction what "passing into space" is. And the only reason she (thankfully) hasn't asked what "off-side" is because she appears to remain blissfully unaware of its existence. uphallsaint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daanaemac Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I found my friendly regular Arab today who in his defence did hold his hands up and said let me have it I've been on holiday since the cup final ( that we won) so got a bit of post match enjoyment out of that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sainties sheep Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 When my wife said "You love St Johnstone more than you love me." I maybe shouldn't have replied "I love Scumdee more than I love you!" Sometimes rhetorical questions should just be left as that with women. Like "does my bum look big in this" ( the true answer would be:- don't blame the clothes, it's your poor diet and lack of exercise that does that) but best just to smile and say "thats fine dear. Just like all football and Saints related rants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) My wife watched the semi final at home and was crying cos she was so happy for us and knew what it meant to us. She came to the final wearing a Saints top and scarf and loved it, but she was worried about me cos I'd had two heart attacks 14 years ago and was going so daft with excitement she thought I would keel over. She even came to Perth and went round the pubs with us after the game. If I did I'd have gone deliriously happy. All this stuff about after my wedding day or the birth of my child.......just be honest, winning the cup is at least equal, if not more.

sleepless Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 it's funny - normally I can't wait for the close season to be over, to get back to the action, but this year I want it to go on. It feels like it extends the moment. dunkeldneil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edstar101 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 I find myself closing my eyes and trying to recreate that feeling when the ball broke to Macca, then the fleeting moment of uncertainty of what happened when he and the keeper came together, then seeing the ball heading towards the goal (quick check towards ref and linesman) then going feckin mental dunkeldneil and Wendy Saints 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
