Look what I found whilst browsing YouTube this evening... 😭

Thank you mysterious stranger, whoever you are - been on repeat for the last hour or so..... 

Excellent video.

Yes we were great, and we'll be great again.

We're just giving everybody else a break in the meantime.

Yeah so I was playing around with editing some video stuff and ended up getting side-tracked into creating a Saints montage, just for a bit of practice with the software really. Hope people enjoy it!

The bit that really gets me each time I watch it is the size of that crowd and sheer joy in the celebration at the Luzern game when Tam Scobbie runs over to the East Stand after taking his winning penalty. It's one of my all-time favourite moments watching Saints and still get goosebumps every time I re-watch it.

Take a bow Sir - had it on repeat for about 90 mins last night 👏

Yup, everyone has moments - the Tommy goal celebrations in the Final in 2014 genuinely brought a tear to my eye. Similarly, the second last shot of Spoony crossing for Rooney. 

If anyone has an email for Tommy, please send it to him with the one line - "Look wot you dun" as almost every player and every moment has a link to him. 

Terrific stuff.

The crowds that we are able to get should be inspiration for the owners to get some serious marketing done. We can be massive if we want to be.

Some of my favourites...

St.Johnstone 4 Rangers 1. No explanation needed.

The last gasp equaliser by Zander/Kane at Ibrox. I totally lost it.

The ultimate Spoony Chop for the cup winning goal. A thing of beauty.

Going 1-0 up at Galatasaray. I was just thinking, "What on earth is going on?"

Knocking out the Norwegian champions.

The Stevie May goal in the semi final. Again, lost it.

I was right above where Steve MacLean ran to after the winning goal, so for so many reasons, that one is obviously special.

Tommy giving it the "get it roond ye" after Anderson's goal.

And of course, all the rest. What a time we've had.

Someone who really got a hard time from the fans having them all celebrating was a beautiful moment. An underdog in an underdog team.

As you said earlier, we'll be great again.  Hopefully Simo is alerted to the video (thanks BH) and plays it to his new coaching staff and squad as a motivational tool.

Without dispariging BH's editing skills at all, I assume (music has been going downhill since Orbison died 😂 ) the soundtrack is the infamous Coldplay, which, I believe, cannot be construed as uplifting or motivational in any sense of the word 😂 🤣 

Sorry BH 😇 however, I do understand Mr Webb is in possession of a copy of your masterpiece. 👏

Just turned the sound down and played Feels Like Heaven behind it. It works well.

But from personal experience, I don't know how that would would work with it being allowed to play it on YouTube etc.

You can get your video banned fairly easily.

It allowed me to upload with the current song but who knows if it'll get taken down at some point. It's credited to the artist so perhaps the clicks benefit them in some way - honestly I've no idea. The footage is all owned by various other bodies too so it's a minefield really.

I've still got the original so could always re-upload it if it ever gets taken down, but if I was to change the music I'd want to re-edit it to fit as there are bits in there where the visuals are timed to the lyrics, beat etc.

Thanks BH for the montage and memories.

I understand. It's a great edit, nice work. 👍

I've had a few taken down in the past, and when you ask why, they don't give you specifics, only that it violated terms and conditions, or some other spiel like that.

I'm sure they make it up as they go along.

Really enjoyed it.

Still feels too recent to be referring to it as 'the golden age', but I guess that period of success has been over for a few years now. Hopefully, within my lifetime, we can start talking about 2007 to 2021 as the 'first golden age' as opposed to the second or third golden age 😀
