Not sure he did too much wrong on Wednesday apart from picking up the "pass back" that I doubt many refs would have given. I wonder if Parish hadn't signed would we have signed him as he is out of contract at Hearts. For that matter now we are in Europe will we not need 3 decent keepers.

Either way, 8 european games will be incredible for you all in Perth, should bring back fans, on top of pent up demand from success in the cups. What a time to be a saintee.

Most teams would have put JET up front with 2 wide men, He actually looked good. He was asked to play a few positions (midfield, upfront at end). Everytime he got the ball, he looked like he could create something in what was otherwise a dour outfit. Can see why Aberdeen may be interested. Kabia is a wee diving minger.

HOODLUM65 Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 Watched the game on Alba. Observations , 1st half Livingston didn't look like they came to win, constantly passing along the back and to the keeper. Thought the ball would be covered in snow when it was lumped aerially ( by both teams). Liam being one of the main culprits When you play Livi you know it's gonna be a battle and won't be pleasing on the eye . Rooney caught in possession , trying to dribble out of the 18 yard box, when Brown gave a pass to clear , could have been costly. Forwards in both sides never stood a chance , such was the poor service to them. However the bottom line is , the result counted and we Are in Europe. Get the passports looked out. C.o.y.s.

I read a lot of Saints related stuff online and only found out late afternoon on Friday that it wasn’t 3pm It should've been better publicised, I got my notification through Google news (or some other stream) on Thursday (Australia time), so would've been late Weds UK time. In fairness to the club, there's the Covid outbreak (I'm guessing they've applied WFH, or some limits to admin staff) and a lot going on in general with the cup/ seating during the week. But I would have expected a notification email to subscribers. Maybe some did. I think there was also posts on FB, if I recall. But not everyone chooses to use FB for whatever personal reason. Basically, the season is bonkers in many ways, let's just enjoy something that we'll never see again. COYS!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be wrong, but I'm assuming it's the money clubs get from UEFA just for playing in a group stage. Doesn't include other potential revenue from crowds, sponsorship, TV etc (I'm not sure we'd actually be shown on TV all that much?). Also I believe in these competitions you get more prize money depending on whether you win, lose or draw your games, so a good performance on the pitch if we get there could make it even more lucrative for a small club like Saints. Of course, no doubt Steve Brown will also be thinking about the extra costs of travel, player bonuses, improving the squad etc. There's also the issue of how much money will have been lost due to Covid and how much of that windfall Saints would want to use simply to replenish what's gone.
