    There was a discussion about developing youth players on Sunday's show 

    Not once were the B teams in the Lowland League mentioned. This does not surprise me given your average Scottish football commentator's ignorance of anything outside the Cheeks but it led me to wonder wtf are the two B teams doing stinking out the LL if it's not for youth development 

    Three*

    Presumably carries over? I don’t think player contracts have much to do with it, unless it expires and the player leaves for free, of course. 

    Price of Football podcast covered this a few weeks ago. Concensus seems to be it depends transfer to transfer, but if you’ve got decent negotiators at the selling club you’d push to make sure they are for length of time the player is at club not length of contract.

    I heard the worst story ever about the 3 amigos at saints. It's absolutely gross mis management and I'm actually seething about it. 

    The damage SB, CD and IF have done reputationaly and financialy is off the scale. 

    Sickening the way the club was run under them.

    If it’s the same story I’ve heard it’s so dangerously negligent we’re lucky that the club is still here.

    Definitely the case. You only have to see the joy amongst other clubs’ supporters on here as we looked to be dead certs for relegation. Expect they’ll all be back if we go on another poor run.

    Have to say it’s very understated in Scottish football how big a failure clubs like Aberdeen, Hibs and Hearts are. With their supports and budgets, for all three of them to win so little for so long is an achievement in itself. No one’s realistically expecting them to challenge for a title or anything, but surely they could stand up to the OF in a cup semi or final once in a while?!

    Since we’ve been back in the top division, the 15 year non-OF roll of honour is:

    St Johnstone    3

    Inverness CT    1

    Ross County     1

    Kilmarnock       1

    Dundee Utd      1

    Aberdeen          1

    Hearts                1

    Hibs                    1

    st Mirren            1

    Especially when Hearts & Hibs have both been relegated during that period. Hearts twice.

    I’d been a fairly regular viewer of A View from the Terrace up until recently. They’ve obviously done very well and therefore this won’t bother them at all, but I listened to a couple of their podcasts earlier in the season and it has completely changed my viewpoint. I’d always assumed they were anoraks with an all-round knowledge of Scottish football, but their takes on St Johnstone have been so off the mark that I pay absolutely no attention to their content now. It’s a shame really. 

    They’re generally pretty good, and I’m a big fan of the podcast(while not actually being that into the TV show) I think they’ve just genuinely seen much less of us this season due to various members jobs/lives changing and we’ve been pretty abject on highlights etc so they’re understandably not getting the subtly of us not just being shite. I think the format changes they’ve introduced have made for better coverage of teams they don’t support generally. Jamie Beatson and yer man Sean from the courier have appeared in the last few seasons covering us in depth.

     

    Joel is def on less and he seems to have an active soft spot for us. I may be totally wrong but think he’s pals with Spoony’s brother.

  6. I really enjoyed that from saints tonight. I know we threw it away, but a Davidson (and this season’s MacLean) side are not looking for a winner at the end there.

    some great individual performances, Smith, Sprangler, and and Clark in particular were outstanding throughout. Thought Philips was too in first half, but as someone else said strength in depth is gonna kill us in some games!

    How the fu j does Cammy Macpherson look the slowest/least reactive at the end there?! 😩🤯
