    Who have we borrowed from non league? I know we signed oseni from Gateshead and hopefully he can kick on this year but struggling to think of who else to make it a trend

    Richardson signed from non league as well as Oseni. I was mainly generalising but unconvinced of the likelihood they will succeed. Latest signing today I put in that category. We need a goalie and a centre forward desperately.

  2. I’m rather more concerned with the recent trend in signing, or borrowing, players from lower or even non league in England. Not just by Saints it has to be said. It reminds one of the Stubbs era when he assumed that the standard here is so low that non league players from his own country would suffice here. Similar to what I think the new rangers manager is going to try. As for a goalie, I dread to think who we are going to sign or borrow.

    i went down to the ticket office to renew our STs. Easy as pie and no need for proof of age. And they had no issue with my grandson's new name as he had changed it by deed poll. Fantastic service.

    Me too. Very nice helpful staff, all done in a couple of minutes. 

  4. Missed chances cost us winning, at least two sitters. Game changed when Mc Menamin came on, keep him for the next game. Rangers goalie was hopeless but the no 49 was good, didn’t recognise him. We definitely need a goalscorer up front and whilst Mandron has a bit of football in him, the other one cannot even control the ball , far less score.  Nevertheless a draw against Rangers is usually decent. A win next week would be good.

    Ayunga is only now starting to show what he had a couple of seasons ago before his injury. I was talking with some cellicfootballclub fans who were waxing lyrical about how he played against them then and how he played on Saturday. Albeit the latter was probably on the strength of what little highlights they saw.

    Ah, patronising Celtic fans, how kind of them. Must be just me but Ayunga in my opinion is slow, has poor ball control, rarely wins a header, is easily knocked off the ball and this season has scored 3 goals, one of which was an own goal. Sorry, but well  out of his depth at this level. 

  6. Great achievement in reaching the top six, no disputing. The performance was pretty nervy though and at one point it looked like Ross Co were more likely to win. Battled on, however, and it turned out fine. One observation, Olusanya was very poor and looks to have chucked it waiting for his big move. Might well be a hit in the English fourth division. The relegation scrap is one well worth avoiding for the nerves, I genuinely wouldn’t have fancied that. It seems more or less impossible to advance from sixth position as others are so far ahead but who knows. Well done Saints. 👍

    I thought it was a 5:30 kick off so missed first twenty minutes or so. Scotland were never in it at all. Greece could have scored half a dozen. We have absolutely nothing up front. I know Adams has done well in Italy but he has been very poor anytime I have seen him. Hirst and Conway do not look much better. Christie.who is a  good player , was very poor tonight. McGinn and Gilmour were also poor. Could go through the whole team as no-one played very well. Thought Clarke should perhaps have gone after the European finals and nothing tonight altered that view.

    Thoroughly concur with those views.

    I'll assume you know nothing about Adams scoring in the Italian top league? 

     

    Exactly, don’t see the Italian league, unlike you obviously. Adams has already missed two good chances, he’s very poor. 

  9. Decided after all to watch the highlights and hadn’t realised at the time that it should have been a penalty for saints and a nasty tackle by the Celtic full back. No VAR check either. In addition, Olusanya missed two sitters and Mandron one. Might have been oh so different but Celtic have bought class players. One other thing, are the majority of Celtic fans good singers ? They certainly enjoy exercising their vocal chords. 😁

  10. After a reasonably good first 70 minutes or so, Celtic took control and threw their wallet at saints. Worst offender was Olusanya who missed a couple of sitters, he wont be missed when he leaves, headless chicken. Our home form is dreadful now and big trouble is looming if we don’t get the finger out. Would settle for 10th place now unfortunately.
