garydavidson Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) There are a couple of games before this one but felt it was worth highlighting that the club are seemingly trying to keep up momentum on the promotion front. http://www.perthstjohnstonefc.co.uk/news/post/club-mark-anniversary-saints-day "Birthdays come but once a year and for St. Johnstone we celebrate our 132nd anniversary this month on Friday 24th February. The following day we're at home to Kilmarnock in another crucial match in our ambitions to finish in the top half of the table and to potentially qualify for Europe. To mark our anniversary we're going to have a 'Saints Day' for that match on the 25th February, a day for fans to remember and celebrate the club's 132-year history. We'll have blue and white balloons and bunting around the ground and will once again have facepainters for our younger supporters pre-match. In the build up to the game next week we'll have a number of interviews lined up with iconic former and present players featuring on the YouTube channel and on the website. Keep an eye on the website and social media for more announcements relating to this match in the coming days..." In another 'good news' promotion story Joe did a school visit recently to talk bout balancing his maths degree and playing football - http://www.perthstjohnstonefc.co.uk/news/post/saints-message-adds16217 Edited February 17, 2017 by garydavidson Chuchter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenrothes saintee Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) This will be my last ever Saints game in my 50's, as it's my 60th before I will be at another game.

livi saint Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Looking forward to this. Few pre match pints in town then corteo up to the ground to see a Super J victory. Happy Birthday SJFC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintJet Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Only Monday and the game thread is up - Excellent! I'm a huge Chris Kane fan, he reminds of Mark Hughes when he was leading the line for Man Utd. I hope he gets a start after his goal on Saturday. Got to assume that if Swanson is missing this week he is a goner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagerf Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Looking forward to a resounding Saints win.However we will probably lose following proud Saints tradition. Going for 4 1 win Chris Kane scoring a hat trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rik2304 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Craig out suspended for this. Will Muzz be fit? Will Swanson be available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Craig out suspended for this. Will Muzz be fit? Will Swanson be available? Saw Muzz walking down Rannoch Road this afternoon. Looked like he wasn't walking freely. Same team that played most of game on Saturday with Danny replacing Craig if fit or available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik2304 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Saw Muzz walking down Rannoch Road this afternoon. Looked like he wasn't walking freely.

south inch Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Saw Muzz walking down Rannoch Road this afternoon. Looked like he wasn't walking freely. . You have got to watch what you're doing when going down Rannoch road though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radford 72 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Challenge for TW to try and find a way to take a performance like Saturday's into a home game against a bottom six side. Form suggests that if we get the first goal, we'll win the game, so hopefully a focus on starting with the right tempo and intensity, something that is unfortunately often missing at home, when we let the opposition settle too easily. Not sure what the issue is with Swanson but I'd be content to see him on the bench and start with Alston and Wotherspoon out wide after their performances in Dingwall. I know there will be a clamour for Alston centrally and I do think he can carve out a future there but he's been playing well on the right too. Hopefully the promotional push will be as successful as the last one and we'll get another 3,000+ crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broon Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) I'd be happy to see us go 4-5-1 on Sat. I understand the clamour for two strikers at home but our strikers don't tend to play as partners. I think we're much stronger with a packed midfield and getting runners into the box.

This is another great opportunity to squeeze in to fourth place- how many times have we had a chance to do that and then got a nose bleed? Come on Saints we are over due a great performance at home.
