andrew Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Recent results and performances have seen us lower down the league than we’d all like. Some of us have a feeling of impending doom, others are confident. Surely a squad this good cannot be so poor as to merit a haunting. Lots of our fans are too young to remember the ghost of relegation past. None of us want to encounter the ghost of relegation present or the ghost of relegation yet to come. We always hope they visit some other unfortunate club. Maybe some of those old enough could spread some more misery at this most wonderful time of the year by recalling their memories of the ghost who used to visit St Johnstone regularly and why he came. By confronting those dark memories we perhaps may be better prepared to contend with the spectre that, for some, is currently looming over McDiarmid Park.

Funny that Sixties, I saw us lose 3 - 0 to Scumdee at Muirton in 1962. We tried to put Gordon Smith into the stand at one point! We got back up again in 1963. Still what's a year between friends.

ejksjfc Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Were we not unfairly “relegated” after the second world war. Also anyone who thinks it’s bad just now should have tried watching Saints anytime between 1976 & 1988. Some highlights in that era but a helluva lot more lowlights.

Wendy Saints Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 As someone who has watched Saints up and down all the divisions I can confirm watching your team relegated or just lose out on promotion on goal difference is the worst! We certainly don’t want relegated as DU can testify it’s not easy to bounce back! We have a rookie manager who deserves a chance.. I think I’ve said the same thing on this forum about Lomas & Sir Tommy. We all know that the only folk who want Saints to succeed are Saints & Saints fans! In general and I realise I’m being a paranoid Saints fan when I say this but we get no favours from refs SPl/SFA/media so have to work twice as hard to win/survive.. so the last thing we need is a manager not getting our support.. we aren’t too good to be relegated as often said by folk who watch 15 mins of our games every week, the best we can do is get behind our wee diddy team.. a couple of wins are all that are required to give us a kick start..

THE LARK SAINT Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Where to start Seen us relegated from Premier 75/76 Premier league with 11 points.For the younger viewers you only got 2 points a win We Got off to a flying start with a win against Utd . I've also seen us go from Premier League to right to 3rd in successive seasons when we were really crap Also the Agony of being relegated at Motherwell by a goal We have suffered more than most by re construction.

Wasn’t there a rumour that we had agreed on a draw as that would be enough for Dundee to win the league and us avoid the drop? Then the match started and a Saints player put in a hefty challenge and Dundee stuffed us in response. Anyone able to comment? I wouldn’t know, I was born in March 1962.....in Dundee.

Coming from 2-0 down to Rangers in the cup in 1981 to lead 3-2 before Redford’s last minute equaliser. Replay at Ibrox we lost 3-1 I think with some of our fans calling Willie Johnston a junkie for his 1978 World Cup drug test failure. A few burly bears headed over and that quietened our fans down a bit. Not bad for a lower league team. As you say, some horrendous times too. Losing at home to teams now in our bottom two divisions.

I can remember the Press certainly made a thing about a draw suiting both teams. I doubt there was any agreement though, Muirton was packed, close on 30,000 I think, with a huge Dundee support. There was certainly a hefty challenge on Gordon Smith but I am sure we were already at least 1 - 0 down at that point. Dundee were out to impress their support and I have to admit they had quite a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D’you think the young ones will have as many great memories? Even though we were garbage for years there were some highs in amongst them, as you say, beating St Mirren. We were a yo-yo club for a long time. Sometimes the yo-yo broke and stopped at its lowest position :) THE LARK SAINT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Grieve Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Was it 91 when we needed to win at Motherwell and we did, to much celebration, only to find that Killie had pulled off a result at Easter road? can still remember the players throwing themselves onto the pitch in desperation.......

McCarry One Nil Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Killie drew 0-0 at Hibs. During the game in Motherwell there was the famous tranny man with "Hibs have scored" which reverberated round the stand we were in, GREAT support that day, it was Hearts who had scored against Partick!!! John Inglis scored our winner that day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
