Center half

Yes seems to have been the tactics from kick off for about 35 years TBH. first time I remember it being used was Alex Totten era, Ball played to Paul Cherry long punt towards the opponents corner towards Roddy Grant and hopefully a sclaff of defenders head for either a throw in or corner. repeat every game for next 35 years.

Wonder if the Mackie Motors guy is buying into Saints ????

He might be the best of "Not a Lot" so what can you do? Mabey be a Steve Clark moment like what he did at Kilmarnock.

Not too sure! I did hear he was acting as an adviser in the process? It is a bit "Duck arse tight" any leaking information though.

The Pull of Perthshire compared to Bradford FFS.

Any swings in the Bookies odds tonight.

it was a few weeks ago TBH. I was at a factory visit in Livingstone and it was mentioned then when we having a discussion on football matters over lunch!

Also do not have much of an idea of the NI league however the same could have been said of Tommy Wrights managerial career at the time he came as coach. So Lomas to return and Dean Sheils as his assistant. I away to give big Stan a call the now to make it happen.

It does seem a strange set up there at the minute, even talk of Martindale paying players out of his wages?. I would think it will depend how bad the Board of directors want him and how much they are prepared to spend to get him. The regime in the St Johnstone board the now are back again to not really spending money on transfer type fees i personnaly cant see any movement on that front.

Was that your party piece tonight Bonzo! how much did you make? Not a Perth forum correct St Johnstone forum.

Yes it probably is how it normally works! I do get the sense that here is it different Martindale looks to me a bit like he needs the board to tell him to go/speak to others ! i don't think he will do anything on his accord TBH.

It was always going to be rejected by the board, no one would allow a manager to leave to a rival so simple answer is to reject it! Ball is in Davie court if he actually wants it however i do not think he will as he has previously said.

Thought this was a busy night for you Bozo. Chapping on doors up Ardler! No on a St Johnstone fans forum!

They rejected the chance for St Johnstone to speak to him! Davie has previously said it would be the boards decision if he was told to go so not really anything to suggest he would have said no! Anyway I'm not to bothered TBH , hopefully a "Rabbit from the hat appointment" to come!

Was our Tam there!

I agree with your reasoning, however it depends how much St Johnstone are prepared to spend to stay up. Buying out one of your rivals management team may send them into a freefall and we may improve enough to get to the play offs a cheaper option than in binning the dross we have on contracts just now. Also we could throw Chris Kane and Ali Crawford into the deal to help the situation! We did try a similar move last season and buy a Player from Ross county at the last gasp IIRC.

It is St Johnstone we are talking about here not Dundee Krusty

Yep Robbie Holden! Not only has Swifts in the next round of the Scottish cup he moved from Luncarty last season who are still in the Scottish cup also although their game was postponed on Saturday against Boness Utd ! I don't think if St johnstone Played Elgin on Saturday they would have beat them.

Not in anyway wanting Martindale! But think he needs to eventually move away from the Livi Gig to get away from the Mr Livingstone/ do everything he carries about hm! Mabey a chance to be just a football team manager and see how he gets on! Also some murmurings Livingstone's new investors have missed a payment!

Baws oot Robbie Holden !

Get Big Jones back up the road! he not up to much these days just a back seat coach at some Prem league team!

TBF i drive past training pitch a few times most days now and generally between 10.00am and 3.00pm i never see no life!

Wonder if something kicked off at training? Both Macca and Liam are a bit fiery!

Roddy might not be available for a few months though allegedly!
