Scobby_SJFC Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 So its here the BIGGEST game of the season a SEMI final of the Scottish league Challenge Cup, yeah ok just the challenge cup just trying to add some excitment, but wouldnt it be nice to reach a final for a wee day out? Same again, after reading about the great team performance against Accies? How many of us are heading through, I Will! C'mon The Yellows!!

SaintSam1884 Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 This is their big game. The atmosphere will be formiddable and their players will once again spend most of the game on the ground feigning injury. I don't see us beating them. We didn't deal with Stevenson or Templemen at all well in the league game. We'll horse them when they come to McDiarmid Park though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezza70 Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 the momentum of yesterday's win would be a great confidence boost for this game lets hope the boys are up for it and even though it is a diddy cup, it has been way too long since we won some silver ware mon the yellow submarines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scobby_SJFC Posted September 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Hopefully we play better than we did when we met them in the quarter final last year, though Mensing did score two crackers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 We didn't win there the last two times but we won the one before that which happens to be as far back as the 5th April 1997. It's good for the players to get another competitive run out to keep things ticking over and keep the improvement going. Have they lost Paul McGowan? It should be a good game and good atmosphere.

stu Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 I'll be heading through from Edinburgh, probably on my own. I'm confident we'll absolutely thrash them - if Morton were Saints' best mate, it would be the footballing equivalent of sleeping with his sister while his mum fed you her home-made flapjacks. Then putting it on YouTube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Somebody asked me yesterday whether I'd like Saints to win the Challenge Cup or catch Dundee by Christmas and I obviously said both. However I think I'd take the latter if I had to choose. On the other hand the Challenge Cup would be the first national trophy Saints won apart from a lower division title and promotion, certainly the first national cup win. Mind you Ross County won it last year and got relegated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Mind you Ross County won it last year and got relegated. On the other hand St.Mirren won it the year before and got promoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perth-Saint Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 In the each of the last four years the winner of the cup has either won promotion or been relagated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noose76 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Im extremely confident about tomorrow night after Saturdays result. Should be a half decent crowd and good atmosphere so lets see how it goes. Do we get a choice of terracing or seats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford 72 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Do we get a choice of terracing or seats? It'll be the same as last Saturday, we'll be in the stand only. I want us to win this game and this competition but not at the expense of our league form, which could be impacted by missing players through injury. Anyone carrying a knock really as to sit this one out IMO. Would think Rocco Quinn might be struggling for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't risk anyone and if anybody is in need of a rest they should miss the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Mc Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 For those travelling down to Morton by car can I suggest that you cut off at Stirling and head over to balloch > dumbarton > erskine bridge. You still have the A9 roadworks to contend with but you miss all the ones in and around glasgow, its a much nicer journey too. C'Mon the Saintees!

St Mikey Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 we're long overdue giving them a pumping! they have given us a few defeats in midweek games and I'm sure this one will be sweet for us. I hate Marco Rajamaki! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
