Sadly not. It would only change the ranking for conference league qualifiers. We're looking for Chelsea to finish 5th and then win the CL.

Crossest Man In Scotland Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Can't wait to get to pub this afternoon and point out to my Dons supporting friends that Saints have won same amount of trophies in past 12 weeks as Aberdeen have in the past 32 years. dave mc and MySpazz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes things are just meant to be. Seems unlikely we will be able to properly celebrate this fantastic season this year. Even first home game of next season will probably have a small crowd. Hopefully they can get maximum crowd in that they can. Have the Hibees scored yet? dave mc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 I held off posting yesterday, mainly because I’d had a few drinks, but also because I want to reflect on what we’ve just achieved. I know there are many St Johnstone fans out there who’ll write better than me, portray feelings better than me, have watched saints for far longer than me, but I’ll give it a shot. Yesterday was the greatest moment in St Johnstone football clubs long history. We’d already been dubbed the second most successful team on the last decade, I’d wager pound for pound we’re the most successful team in Europe over the last decade! Every person to a man who’s involved in any way shape or form with this magnificent football club can say they’ve played their part in getting us there. Yes we’ve had ups and downs, but my god I wouldn’t trade places with any other fan. This is a squad and club built on humble thoughts, hard work and an amazing ethic. Whether we play Kelty Hearts, Dunfermline, Clyde, Rangers or Hibs the players give the same 110% each time. The management gives them the tactical respect they deserve and whilst we may admire and respect many opposition teams and players, we don’t ever think they’re better than us. As fans we’re all the same. We go into every game expecting not to win, but secretly every one of us knows that right now this team isn’t going to let us down or go down without fighting tooth and nail. It makes you proud to be associated with this unbelievable football club, proud to wear the badge, proud to say you’re a fan of a diddy team. That’s something so many fans of big clubs around the world will never feel, when the world is against you and the team comes out swinging, the pride and emotion that it can generate is like nothing else. I may not be from Perth, I’ve never lived there, or even particularly liked the place. But my god it will ever have a place in my heart for producing St Johnstone and playing home to them. I just hope all the players and people around the club know how badly we’d all want to be there celebrating with them. We may not be large in number, but we’ve got a hell of a voice. So I just hope that to a man, whether you’re a lapsed fan, a die hard, a newly found fan that when the time comes, that 20 man squad and their management team get the loudest reception McDiarmid Park has ever seen or heard, because by god we’ve all missed it, this season especially. And I for one cannot wait to be surrounded by my fellow fans cheering this history making club on to further adventures and success. We are St Johnstone Football Club and I don’t think anyone is going to forget that any time soon! dave mc, ex-montrosesaintee, henryhallsdanceband and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueheaven Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Feeling so incredibly proud of everyone at SJFC today. I don't think it's possible to put into words what this means to all the fans, but what I also found very, very special was to see just how much it means to the players. I'm not sure we've ever had such a hard-working, energetic, spirited and passionate group of players, and it's all perfectly tied together by the manager whose organisational and motivational skills have made this Saints team so, so difficult to beat. I said this yesterday, perhaps in the heat of the moment, but in the cold light of day I still stand by it: is there a more impressive achievement in the history of football, anywhere in the world, than what St Johnstone have just done?? california_saintee and Shaggy Jenkins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Center Half Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 All the plaudits go to spooner and of course big Shaun for the finish! But as a lover of a good tackle, Calum Booths double tackle made that goal for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheYellowBox Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 What can you say that hasn't already been said about saints. While I dont think we played the best we have all season, we just wanted it more. All the more incredible when you consider the disruption caused by covid over the last few weeks. The ability to did deep is such a testiment to the way they are coached and how the players all feel about the club. 2014 felt like destiny had been achieved. 2021 cup final win sort of felt inevitable from the moment we scored. The belief in the team is incredible and every player turned up. Small aside for Boyle, what a cheating b%$tard. That could have broke our hearts. Hope he gets dogs abuse from saints fans for evermore. Bruno Strasser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got to be one of the biggest unsung heroes of our season - he's been absolutely brilliant since he came into the team. Given that he was really only brought in as short-term cover for left-back, what a fantastic signing he's turned out to be for us.

The block by Bryson was also part of it all but Booth was solid in those two challenges, been a great player in these huge games when you consider some of the players he has faced off against. henryhallsdanceband 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 Can't be arsed checking but have any of the much lauded 45 goal forward line scored against Saints. Their right back scored 2 goals late in a game & they got a penalty with a dive but I don't remember much more in the SIX games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs have been at it all season. In our first game against them Portious through himself down when Gordon was pushed against him to win a penalty. Boyle tries it in every game when nearing the end of the game & they are not winning. I am sure they have gained more points than they should have through penalties. Saturday summer them up when they claimed a hand ball & even in slow motion it was nowhere near anyone's hand. Good game by Nick Walsh in his first major cup final. Well done. garydavidson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you look back at it there are a lot of similarities with the Dundee United team of 2014 and how we completely nullified them. dave mc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
