East Lothian Saint

LOL. just read above, The players didn't know they had won on Tuesday night and were waiting on junior taking a sixth penalty.  I'm not sure whats worse the players not being able to count or the thought of Junior at the penalty spot.
Priceless.

Looking forward to the game tonight, weather sounds a bit ominous but fingers crossed.
If the games called off whether its now or 5pm lots of fans who who stay further away and have pre-booked travel and accommodation for a rescheduled TV game will be out of pocket but that's a risk we take, so feck off rain and feck off those messing about with Sat 3pm kickoffs.
Absolutely buzzing after first half performance on Tuesday. More again tonight please saints. It would be wonderful to wake up six clear of hearts tomorrow.

Trains back to North Berwick don't run late enough to get home from midweek games. Especially ones with extra time and penalties, so we stayed in Motherwell last night. Had a great time. The Motherwell fans we met after the game were all great company. 
Last night was a classic. Absolutely loved it. Second half was a bit scary but we hung on and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.
Awesome.

Correct. Someone also put their hands up and said they were absolutely delighted to be proven wrong about Cammy.
Same as first half of last season when everyone was on the case of Ryan Flynn. He'd have been first out the door in January and I was delighted to be talking shite there too (along with most of our support). 
Several Saints supporters online also continue to unwaveringly persist with the line that Obika is shite. 
Football fans, eh?

Still on way home but what a night. Cup games are magic and last night was something special. Got to agree with the pro cup posts.
 
Hopefully see you all at Hampden

Agree TC
 
In my time supporting I have witnessed 4 promotions( 77, 00,06,18) 3 relegations  4 Cups, ( SC 87, LC 13, B&Q 2006, Anglo Scot 79) I can remember fondly all Cup wins , the regular trips to Hampden in the 80s.
 
However could easily forget Gus keeping us up by skin of our teeth and last season in total bar the play off final...……..
 
We have a genuine chance to get to a Semi and then anything is possible as in 2013. Embrace it, its what its all about, after all we can get 17-20 k fans to Hampden more than triple what we get at home

Regarding Thommos comments about the league being more important than the cup last night, I completely disagree with him and I’m surprised he made them to be honest.

What we will all remember most from Thommo’s St Mirren career is those glorious goals in the semi and final of the league cup. They’ll still be spoken about in 50 years.

He was also involved in some successful relegation battles, but no one will remember them. Nobody will come up to him and go remember that time you were a big part in that team who finished 8th in the league...?

I could tell you the starting 11 that one us the cup in 1987. I was far too young to remember the game but they’re all club legends. By most accounts the team of the late 70’s and early 80’s was actually a better team than the 87 team. Don’t know anything about them though, cause they never even made a cup final.

League positions come and go. Sometimes we get relegated, sometimes we get promoted, ‘Twas ever thus. It’s the cups where true legends are made for clubs like us.

Our most important game of the season was last night. Our next most important game is the quarter final a week on Saturday.

How can Friday be more important than either of them? Even if you do think the league is more important than the cups (which I don’t) nothing gets decided in the game against Hearts. We could win and get relegated or lose and stay up.

Would be my player of the year if the awards were tomorrow.

First name on the team sheet every week, he’s a proper player.

Special mention to Cammy McPherson. Could not get in the team at the start of the season and ended up with the captain's armband last night. Really proving to be an important player for us.

Don’t even care that we were shite second half. That game was f**king magic! Who needs the champions league?

My feet are just starting to defrost, great entertainment from start to finish  

Just back from the historic game ( apparently we have never won a Scottish cup game on penalty’s) 
The 900 odd saints fans that made the trip to Motherwell got a much more than they had bargained for with the £12 gate price, they got excellent football and dire ,dire football in equal measures, the proverbial game of two half’s. To illustrate this, here are my thought bubbles from halftime: 
“wow saints are really starting to come together, this could be the game that turns there season around, they could easily score another couple of goals here” 
 
and from the 80th minute:
” for f#*cks sake, why the f#*ck did he take off Jakubiak and replace him with f#*ckin Morias!! , why did we decide to fall back to our box and defend for most of the f#*cin half? “

and after the penalty’s 
“ yaaaaasssssss , still in the cup, get it right up yeah Tony Watt “ 
 
so there you have it, if there is a difficult way to win a game stmirren will find it. Hampden here we come !! 

 

Just home, really want to slaughter the team but I can’t, we’re through shit happens, tonight was exactly what st mirren is about 😂 we will always do things the hard way, emotional rollercoaster, mon the fkin saints, work tomorrow will be tough 🙈😂

My brother was saying it and i stupidly said no chance... what a bloody game though, nerve wracking at the penalties and great celebrations at the end! It's a learning curve for Jim, perhaps better to not try and sit on a lead for so long, maybe revert to those tactics in the last 20 mins but were very impressive when we played on the offensive.

It’ll become one of those legendary games that we’ll talk about for years.... Were you there that time we were 4-1 up at half time and then won on penalties...?

Mental. That emotional rollercoaster, ecstasy, dejection, ecstasy, much more fun than drawing 0-0 and winning on penalties. Love it.

Aberdeen or Kilmarnock at home in the quarters then. We’ve beaten both of them in Paisley already this season so fancy us against either of them. One game away from Hampden...

He taught me everything I know.
