patsy Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Can't see this anywhere else but if it is please feel free to delete mods. So saints have managed to get hearts for andos testimonial match. How exciting. I for 1 can't wait for such an exciting match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Rave Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Putting the sarcasm to one side for a minute. I am a tad underwhelmed at the opposition. There must be reasons for who it is and why we couldn't attract a bigger team. We don't know why so there's no point moaning about it. At the end of the day, the game is to raise money for Ando's testimonial, not to watch the opposition. Granted a higher profile team may have sparked more interest and probably a bigger crowd, but it is what it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstar101 Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Echo above......very underwhelmed by the opposition......would love to know the thought process behind that decision and also what other opposition were considered (and perhaps approached - but declined) Is there a chance that Hearts will perhaps have 'special guests' making an appearance in their team.....and maybe same for us? Needs something like that to add a spark to the event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsy Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Apparently there will be thousands of hearts fans coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abernethy Saint Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 There obviously a bit more excited than us then.....Mind you, it's not every eek a diddy team gets to play the cup-winners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Did Ando grow up a Hearts fan? If so, it makes perfect sense for us to play them. If not, then I'm sure they'll bring up a reasonable support and the Saints fans should turn out in great numbers to appreciate a true legend. He deserves it for years of excellent service to Saints, not to mention his cup final goal. The ghost of Jim Morton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AthensSaint Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Steven Anderson, the first St Johnstone player to score a goal in a Scottish Cup Final. If it was Errol Rovers U16's he plays against, I would hope all those that can, would make the effort to attend. Please, please don't start bickering about this The ghost of Jim Morton, gertiesaints, Edstar101 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deserves it for years of excellent service to Saints, not to mention his cup final goal. There's no doubt he deserves a good turnout and I would go even if we were playing the under 21s but hearts? Come on surely we could have got someone better than that? I'm not talking a massive club but someone we've not played about 18 times in the last 5 years. But I'm not ITK no point in me having an opinion Edited June 13, 2014 by patsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhq Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 As Das Rave and Athens said, it's about Ando and his service to the club. As many Saints fans as possible should be getting along to this. AthensSaint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ex-montrosesaintee Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Maybe Roddy will play and they needed the most pedestrian defence they could find? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsy Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Why didn't you volunteer for the testimonial committee and organise something better then? Was there ever an option to volunteer? Because if there was I can't remember. As far as I can recall the committee was just announced. I wasn't asked so I must no be a good enough saints fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't asked so I must no be a good enough saints fan I'm not sure tbh. The point is that the aim is to raise money for Ando. The last 2 Saints to get testimonials were Roddy v Coventry and Main v Man Utd youths. I'm sure Hearts will bring more fans than either of these so called bigger names did - and that's what it is all about. john.w, gertiesaints and AthensSaint 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I understand it's all about raising money for ando but would it not be better to have more saints fans there than opposition? Who are the fair weather fans/people of Perth more likely to turn out to see hearts that we play all the time? Or somebody more glamorous?

AthensSaint Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 I am sure there will be a few "twist" in this to make it a great day. "Biscuits" playing a half for both teams ?? Levein getting a sitting and silent ovation for being the worst Scottish Manger since Bertie ? Levein to play a 4-6-0 formation because he is so shit scared of Stevie May. C'mon, it will be fun. franco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
