Boston Red Sox Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 Went up to Perth tonight to watch the game. Have to say that I was so bloody envious of the saints, a club no bigger than ours in terms of fan base and potential, looking around and seeing a stadium full of fans supporting a provincial club (with some obvious hangers on and neutrals like myself). Atmosphere was great and at half time there was a genuine hope. They were beaten by the better team on the night but they gave it a shot. Rooney's footwork for St Johnstone's second was sublime and the laddie McCann has a massive future in the game. Came away praying that project Germany comes good and we can be there in the future, with a well structured club developing organically and living within our means.

Teuchter Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 I recall over on the other place, there was one poster would often question the point of a club like St Johnstone. What did they bring to the game? Even before they entered the current golden era of their history, I had admiration for the fact that they were run responsibly. The fact that responsible stewardship can be combined with success is a real inspiration. The Masterton family would do well to take a look in the unlikely event they want to know where they went wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, glad it didn't bring back traumatic memories of our last time in the UEFA Cup up there 😂 Ali McCann is Lewis's brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsidePar Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Given we twice made an absolute **** up of decent chances in the UEFA cup 2004 and 2007 then St Johnstone deserve credit for putting up a fight against a much better side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superally Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Cant say i like St Johnstone but they have had probably their best season ever last year and probably never have another like it again. They deserve a massive amount of credit for that and have provided the template that clubs like ourselves have to aim for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deutsch Par Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Ross McArthur very often holds up St. Johnstone as an example of the way a club should be run and tbh you can see why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
