    The fact that Yardley's goal against Morton wasn't filmed is both sad because I'd love to see it again & great because I'm adding on more players that he beat in that run every year. I think it's up to 15,438 players now.
    Seriously, what a brilliant goal by a brilliant player.

    Mallan's goal is superb and probably the best I've seen, albeit on video, but some of Ally McLeods in the early 70's were of similar style. Mazy runs and slotting the ball in the corner of the net were typical - particularly in the 4 he scored at Ibrox and I was there for that wonderful night to be a Saints fan!
    All the best to Buds for 2015 and our Saints Team.

    Scanlon v Clydebank was a beauty, Beckett v Celtic was top drawer and I also enjoyed Higdon's v Falkirk.

    I'd say that was easily the best Saints goal I've witnessed.
    Other goals not yet mentioned that I enjoyed were McGarry against Livy where he chipped the keeper.
    Scott Walker v Morton was special as he cleared the header at one end and continued to score at the other.

    I was thinking about that one as well. Brian Hamilton chips a ball into Ian Ferguson, he flicks a header into McDowall's path and he hits a 20 yard volley. Think it was the same game that Campbell Money fumbled a cross into his own net.
    Some great strikes and team goals have been mentioned, and I also thought about the one at Ibrox in 87/88ish when Ian Cameron beat 3 and slipped the ball to Billy Davies, who fired a 25 yarder into the top corner. But Mallan's goal on Saturday is out on its own as a piece of individual brilliance.

    Yeah we mentioned this in the pub on Saturday. I'm certain it's the best Saints goal I've seen in 20 odd years.
    McLean and Carey's 40 odd yard digs were good, but not as good as Mallans. Sheer genius. And at such an important part of the game and of our season.

    Graham Carey's goal of the season for us runs it pretty close I think

    Mallan's goal is the best individual goal ive seen in a long time, but my favourite goal is this team one:

    No idea but the club, via the facebook post that Gordon made today, say they only passed on season ticket details on one individual, ie; Josh.
    "We replied to the police when asked if you were a season ticket holder, nothing more. Nobody else's details were requested and none were supplied. You are well aware of this"

    Nothing much more to add to this that hasn't been said already.
    The police started this by contacting the club. I don't think the club did anything untoward in confirming to them that an individual was a season ticket holder.
    Did the club also pass over an address? No idea. Does it matter?
    I know the police sometimes ain't the smartest, but I'm sure they would be able to find someones address out without having to ask the football club.
    Having done that and made their home visit to Josh, which I personally think most of us agree was entirely wrong, they've opened up this can of worms.
    The police started this. The police. Not the club.
    And yet the club is getting the brunt of the anger on this, and it's spiralling way out of control.
    We now have a very unhappy W7 group trying to defend themselves against some of their fellow fans, we have a board that is under attack from some fans, and we have everyone else sitting in between wondering what the fuck is going on.
    Hopefully George can help broker some peace here and some common sense will break out. This is, to quote Renton, an absolutley shite state of affairs.

    Sounds like both parties need to get round the table and clear the air.

    If the banner was rejected beforehand and still displayed then the stewards have every right to confiscate but their does seem to be an air of double standards considering Celtic seem to have quite freely produced their own banner without similar repercussions.

    The W7 lads are clearly frustrated right now and by the sounds of it, justifiably so. I would certainly be demanding answers from the club if information was given out about me resulting in an unwarranted approach from the police regardless of whether the club are legally obligated to do so.

    Think we would rather have a sit down and talk about it to be fair, we have had problems in that past and managed to let it go once resolved.
    End of the day we all have one common goal and that is to support the team.

    Yeah he does well.

    The natural instinct for a player in that position is to lash at it and try score. Had he done that it would have likely been blocked.

    Instead he took a touch, composed himself, got his head up and picked out the correct pass.

    And cause of that we won; well done Ryan!

    I'd put the old firm in both the north and south stands. In the Sunday games they're are not many saints fans in the south stand and could be easily accommodated in the main stand where the language should be less course. Just need to lock the old firm in for 10mins after the game
