Saint@Johnstone

Two home games , lost 1-5 , one goal scored. Hardly proud.

Scotland are a bit like Saints. Nothing up front. I suspect they will scrape a win tonight and lose on Monday. Incidentally, if they reach the play offs I don’t think a home draw is much of an advantage, given the disastrous results in the Euro finals. Won’t be able to see tonight’s game anyway, as SFA have sold the viewing rights to PPV yet again.

Only heard bits on radio but seems we had majority of the play. As ever though, nothing up front ! Need to win next match to stop this bad run.

Even over the centuries, we seldom win in Perth. On a bad run at present, need to stop that soon.

Awful result and performance. Yet again nothing up front.

Glass of port and a revolver.

Saints had a good start but fell away in first half. Better team won but team wasn’t disgraced.

I see the date of this match has been changed, pity. I’ve a season ticket and yet again cannot attend. Only been able to be at 3 games all season. On reflection, maybe not worth buying a ST this year with restrictions and date changes.

Probably best to just put me on ignore. Anyway, regarding the game, I couldn’t stay up to watch last night and thought I’d try I player today. No coverage,lol. Don’t think I missed much anyway.The six points gained might edge Scotland into a play off position, so who knows they may qualify for the finals. Need a change of personnel if the do, mind.

Think I will skip the highlights later. Sounds like Scotland fluked this win, same as Saturday.

Can’t seem to find the game on my tv. Oh, hold on, it’s only on ppv. Meanwhile stv showing England game live. We really have no respect in this country.

Looks like it was played behind closed doors. Goal was pretty soft but I suppose any kind of win is fine.

Not seen or heard any reports from the game, but if the hyperbole from previous postings are to be believed then I cannot wait to see the two minute highlights.

Great result and looked like our best performance in a long time. Hope we can keep this up next week and move up the league. Plaudits to Ronan who looks like a good wee player.

Many thanks for your concern.

Hadn’t realised the date of the game had been changed until just there. Almost October, season ticket, only managed two games(missed 15 mins of one of them) , no goals and cannot make this match. Such is life being a saint. Hope the team improves for tomorrow. Forgot, don’t have Sky either. 😄

I will answer, despite your rude reply. McGinn had been isolating for over a week and wasn’t fit to play. He was removed after an hour or so. I saw the highlights as I don’t have Sky tv but listened on radio as well. The duds are the players who missed quite a few “sitters” and I include the player who has been the most unsuccessful captain for Scotland, ever. No one should be considered undroppable.

Firstly, why make an excuse for a player when he should never have been considered for this game. In addition, he is vastly overrated and spends most of the game on his backside. The blame lies with Clarke for persisting with duds time and time again. Watch out for his “ not a must win game “ for tomorrow. Laughable if it was not serious.

Was at that game yesterday, good show from both teams, makes a difference from rubbish like saints and Scotland,lol.

Just watched the highlights, Scotland are hopeless. Defence poor and nothing up front. Already out of the World Cup. Long past caring , quite honestly but still dispiriting. Manager should be removed after the Austria defeat.

Listening only. After tonight’s defeat, an excuse will be made( top seeds, any point a bonus etc etc) then possibly win next game against dross before defeat to Austria and elimination. Further excuses to spare the manager from dismissal and save from the embarrassment of extending his contract. It’s the usual story, been using it for decades. Serves us right for putting up with it. An apologists dream.

SFA confirming today that it’s not just Government Ministers who are able to fail upwards. Scrape through to the Euros via the back door and penalties, lose two home games by 1-5 , and by this time next month, be eliminated from the next World Cup. Outcome ? A contact extension. Just been listening to Scoreboard on radio and the apologists are mumbling something about “continuity”. I certainly concur. A generation of continuous rubbish. Same manager, mostly same players, same outcome.

Just saw the brief “highlights “ didn’t bother with the pundits discussion. Saints looked pathetic and the guy in charge could get a job in the government with his “nothing to see here, move on “ description of the capitulation. Assuming JG recovers from his illness, he has a big job on his hands trying to improve that lot before Sunday. I got a call from the ticket office saying my own seat was unavailable for the game and quite honestly I’m not bothered at the moment. That’s how bad it is.

Just back from Johnstone Burch game (won 4-2) , to be assaulted orally by the saints game on radio. Pretty shameful it sounds but thoroughly not unexpected. Relegation dogfight pending - yet again.

Sensing a win today as likely as a Cabinet Ministers resignation.
