Name that game...
As the previous chap said, it was against St Mirren. Our last home game of the 1996/97 First Division title-pissing season. We were presented with the trophy at full-time if my memory serves me correctly. I had a season ticket in the Ormond Stand that year. Some view that day as the bold boy in the photo sprinted across the park. Seem to remember he made it over the perimeter gate to freedom too?

Alright lads, I recorded a podcast with erstwhile Saintee David Weatherston. He's a great guy and a brilliant talker and this 40-minute episode sees him talking exclusively about his year at McDiarmid Park.
Some great stories and insight in here, especially about his problems with anxiety. Very honest and open.
I think you'll like it.
Really enjoyed that. He comes across well. Philosophical about the difficulties he faced, which is admirable. Really feel for him over the Challenge Cup Final snub in particular.
The Dundee United question will always be an interesting “what if” for him - and fair enough too - but United were signing players at an insane rate at that time, and plenty of them found themselves cast aside pretty quickly, so there would have been no guarantees at Tannadice.
He was a player I wanted to see succeed at Saints. Bags of pace and loads of potential. It’s a shame he didn’t get the kind of breaks he needed.

They could blow us away in terms of wages, if what they're paying May is correct, but I can't see him thinking it's a step up worth taking just now. He'll be looking down South.
No idea what would happen if Aberdeen bid a substantial amount though. I'd like to think we'd reject it.
Wages would certainly be a factor from Kerr’s perspective.
But if Aberdeen punt McKenna for a substantial fee they’ll feel themselves well-placed to say to Steve Brown that they could get a bigger sum a year down the line for Kerr than we could. Chuck a 33.333 etc.% sell-on onto the deal and I could see that being tempting.

We shouldn't accept anything less than £1m for Kerr, we're not desperate for money. If he could get over the giant McLeish shaped roadblock and get a cap, we should be looking to break Calum Davidsons fee.
McKenna is stronger and quicker, but the gap isn't a huge one.
Jack Hendry - £1m
Scott McKenna - £5m
I'd say Kerr is closer to McKenna in terms of ability.
I’m not advocating a move to Aberdeen for the boy. I agree Kerr’s better than Hendry.
I do wonder whether Aberdeen could convince with a mid-six-figure offer next month and the promise of an obscene sell-on clause though?
If McKenna goes, I could see them making a move.

I totally hear you and from what I've seen of McKenna, he is a different type of defender to Kerr so it's tough to completely compare like for like.
I just think it's to easy to say because a player plays for a bigger team then he is better.
If Scotland had any sense they would be getting the pair of them playing together in some friendlies real soon.
But we know that won't happen as bates plays in Germany and porteous the next super star plays for Hibs etc.
Kerr will make saints a heap of money.I certainly hope Kerr does make Saints a heap of money. I’d like to see him stay another season after this one, playing every week. If he gets to this stage a year from now, still in the team, he’ll be even better for it, and it won’t be the likes of Celtic and Rangers looking at him. He’ll be out of their price range. Much like McKenna is now.
incidentally, in order to help that whole “making Saints a pile of money” scenario along, I’d love to see the club get him tied to a longer contract. Ideally any day now.
If not, it actually wouldn’t shock me if Aberdeen chucked a bid in next month.

In my opinion he is a better all round footballer.
McKenna toiled badly to get any game time any where on loan including the levels that Kerr Excelled at with east Fife.
McKenna is good I just feel Kerr is better and will get better due to being more comfortable with the ball.
If Kerr was at Celtic or rangers just now they would say he was worth many millions.
We need to stop down playing our players and talk them up.
They are in no way any less than rivals from Aberdeen, hearts etcI hear what you’re saying. And as I said, Kerr is great. I love the guy. He’s got bags of potential beyond St Johnstone.
At the same time, I’ve seen a lot of McKenna over the past two seasons. He’s an absolute beast. A unit. He’s also got a great football brain and a wand of a left foot. Very comfy on the ball. Uses it well. Strides out of defence with confidence. At this stage, he’s a level beyond Kerr.
I’m not saying Kerr won’t get there. He’s got great attributes. But McKenna’s seriously impressive at this point.

Kerr’s great.
But you boys need your heids examined.

I quite liked it.
It’s a funny story. But I felt guilty for posting it on a public forum.
That said, like all the world’s top shaggers, I wear my hypocrisy on my sleeve, so I will absolutely roar it into the face of anybody who’s interested should we ever meet over a pint or two.

Sounds like a title for a sitcom. Hartley moping about being shite at stuff, everything going wrong. Burning the toast, stubbing his toe, slipping on a banana skin. He doesn't talk, he just becomes increasingly miserable until it finishes with a close-up of his pus for one final weary sigh and slump of the shoulders. A jingly theme tune comes on as the end credits roll.
Poor Paul.
That's got legs, for sure.

St Johnstone are in Europe. That's my main concern.
But I'm far more upset for Falkirk fans than I 'm happy for Inverness punters.
Simple as that.

So f**k. Hartley wants to remain at dens.
f**k Cardiff
Ken, aye.

Something fishy about this story IMO. Hartley has "turned down" the Cardiff manager's job before Solskjaer's even oot the door? Aye right.
Wouldn't surprise me if Cardiff stick a statement of their own out before the day is done. They've been made mugs of here.

Right enough. It was the other boy. And he's not a bad guy. Just an idealist.I'm not.
Let's just forget it.
Christ, I'm nervous.

The pricing of the tickets is down to the SFA. Wendy is clearly suggesting that it would have looked better on TV if the North Stand was full. From what I hear, so far you have only sold 1,000 out of the 4,000 allocated in the lower tier, which will look pretty crap.
I'd have liked you to sell the sections of the North, one by one, so United could've sold more North stand tickets if you couldn't sell them.
I don't think you should place too much stock on what you hear about how many tickets Saints have sold in the north stand.
Regardless, you can hardly advocate for United fans - specifically the elderly, the disabled and those who want to take kids - to be able to attend the game at a more affordable price while denying Saints fans the same opportunity purely because there's a risk of it looking "crap" on the telly.

It was a rather convoluted way of name dropping the boy who does the programmes for the SFA.
Full body minter.
Quite. Allied with having a mean-spirited as f**k, snidey dig at folk.

What a colossal smart arse you are.Fair enough, I take that bit back then.
That's just daft. All you need to do is email the guy editing the programme, ask if a tribute is planned for Redford, and if there isn't offer to do one.
You really don't need to garner support or start a petition to have something written in a programme. What an over the top reaction.
Edit: Here's his twitter, send him a simple message, sure he'll be happy to help. https://twitter.com/RonnieEsplin
If it's not him editing it, it'll be Darryl Broadfoot. Just e-mail the Scottish FA in that case.
Coincidently, the League Cup final programme (obviously edited by the SPFL) was a mighty 92 pages.

I will bow to the superior knowledge of others, but is FIFA Statute 64 not bordering on being unenforceable?
Hypothetically speaking, say a national body such as the SFA does something which although in compliance with their own orders, constitution, rule book or whatever, contravenes a member club's rights at law, what recourse does the member club have other than taking court action since it is expected that FIFA has approved the national body's rules etc. to allow it to have membership of the world governing body.
FIFA recognises the Court of Arbitration for Sport as the judicial authority in such cases. Under Statute 64, Rangers could have taken their case there. They instead went to the Court of Session, in breach of the rules.
As a member of FIFA, the SFA must punish them.
