Edstar101 Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 I think it says a lot about how TW rates Thomson. His directness and pace could've been handy, but his crossing is pretty shite aswell. That gives him two attributes over those that played then! If he doesn't rate him, why is he moaning about his squad? Move him on, free up a wage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move him on, free up a wage Watson still to be offloaded. Don't know if Coulston is away yet. As you say if he is not going to play Thomson then he should be away. Hurst the goalie & Hurst the striker will probably go on loan Tanser was a waste of a signing. We probably need the 3 young centre Half's so don't see them going on loan. Anyone else we can offload to bring in this quality player or players. Don't know where are going to get quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move him on, free up a wage I don't know. TW has a history of stocking the squad with backup players then complaining we don't have a strong enough starting eleven though.

Center Half Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 To be honest, In this thread now I am only interested in story's after the game. Did SLF get home and was he pished.? Who went to the strip and steak supper? Photos of the march to the stadium? What happened about bottles being thrown at locals (Terrible if true).

Wendy Saints Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 I always feel proud of our wee team & supporters.. however I am vexed reading some reports on social media of fans booing Cummins before he's even stepped on the pitch.. booing our side .. sorry not on.. especially not in Europe & not away from home! I know folk will say you pay your money etc but I like to think Saints fans are better than that..nobody was more disappointed than me watching us crash out of Europe.. some people may want to remember what it's been like in a lifetime of watching Saints! Certainly they should see the irony in booing the team after crashing out of Europe.. especially when you can look back & remember what life was like in the 3rd division .. not to mention cup defeats at Stenhousemuir etcetera ;-) templeofsaints, blueheaven, Stumpy1949 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afro Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Got home 9 last night : thoughts on the game ,Saints put a hell of an effort in against a team that did to us what we have done to teams . They sat in and hit on the break . I'm proud of the boys for there efforts not just in the match but in what they achieved last year in qualifying for Europe . The travelling fans we're awesome And took over bars with good natured singing and fun Vilnius is a great city with cracking bars ( good local beers ) and resteraunts ( cracking food ) excellent trip .

Templar Saint Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Oh well home again at the end of another European adventure that sadly was too short. On the bright side, still funds left in my Europa League kitty for next years assault to parts unknown. To all that I met, and probably do not remember meeting, thanks for a great time and hope you all got home safely. If only the team could have been as good as the fans we would have skelped Trakai nae problem. Havana Saint and south inch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50yrs a Saint Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Had a great couple of days in Vilnius and met lots of friends, groups of other Saints supporters and friendly locals. Other than the result a great trip overall. One disappointing thing for me was the group of Saints fans who left the Zuvine bar and restaurant, just beside Town Hall Square, on Thursday afternoon without paying their bill of over 50 Euros for food and drink! We paid the bill rather than leave the young bar staff, who were great to us throughout our stay, having to pay themselves out of their meagre wages. If those who left without paying did it by accident, through drink or whatever, then I hope, if you are reading this, and it jogs your memory, that it gives you a pang of conscience. If it was done on purpose then you are a disgrace to St Johnstone, Perth and Scotland, and should stay at home in the future. If it was you , or you know who it was, I am not looking to be repaid, but the guilty individuals may wish to make a donation to Saints Youth Development in lieu of your free food and drink in Vilnius! garydavidson, afro, Broon and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MySpazz Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 (edited) Heads Burst Amazing 4 "daze" in LT We drank 71 Kegs in Republic on Weds NightZuvine can suck a wet fart fae a dead pigeons arse... miserable robbing fuqs (I paid for my coffees as i went). "Shut Yer Hole, Shut Yer Hole" - best song The young team singing "everywhere we go" in time with the Hari Krishna's chanting in town was Britain's Got Talent quality. The FK Trakai ballboy selling the match ball for 10 euros .... SLF nearly dying.... The legend who had his hand down FK Trakai's captains wife's kex at the bar in republic.... Loved it all - the match too.... unrivaled time with football family, old and new pals. What a trip....... just spare a thought for this guy..............

That is absolutely brutal, well done to you and your group though. Was drinking there for the majority of the afternoon, would like to think whoever did that did that out of drunken forgetfulness rather than malice, and judging by the state (for want of a better word, not judging, wasn't sober myself) of several fans at that bar on the Thursday that's entirely possible.

babychunder Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 For me we had lots of possession but no penetration. Kane doesn't make the angles runs and the crosses were poor. I keep thinking ball into feet and slotted into the channels was the way to win that game but we just didn't do it. Hugely disappointing but a very enjoyable trip none the less.

No one would have meant that.... the bar was a shambles, they had no glasses, were taken by surprise (understandably) by the number of us that showed up (D Fleming to blame!!!) and then didn't like when someone stood on the bar to put a flag up ....

I was in the group that allegedly didn’t pay their €50 drink & food bill and am amazed at how gullible some people have been. The facts are that the bill was indeed paid as I paid it! After the first couple of rounds I ordered some food and they requested I paid €21 for the drinks we had drunk before they would bring the food which is what I did. I then paid €9 for the food - mini dumplings in white wine sauce stuffed with fish which were excellent and a bowl of chips - and then a further €21 for drink. So you will no doubt be pleased to know that you have boosted the black economy (and the young waiters meagre wages) by €50 ! Perhaps next time you are feeling generous (or sanctimonius) you should just donate directly to the Saints Youth Development instead of Lithuanian Youth Development. How does the saying go “ a fool and his money……….” I too had a really enjoyable trip but one disappointing thing for me was to hear how readily some Saints fans believed locals of fellow Saints fans “dishonesty” without checking the facts. Yes the Lithuanians were very friendly, however they were also very adapt at making as much money out of visitors while they can. This was evidenced by the wide range of prices charged by taxi drivers for the same airport trip (€8 to €25).
