    Can see fans of both teams are unable to contain their excitement for this one.

    Craig Levein and St Johnstone choosing the perfect time to (appear to) get their act together. We're finished in this league but until it's mathematically confirmed we'll probably pick up the odd draw or win to make it seem like we can go on a run; hopefully get one of those here but who knows (I do, we won't).

     

    Fun fact: the only time I've seen Livi win at McDiarmid Park was the Challenge Cup final against Alloa. I've never seen Livi score against St Johnstone in Perth.

    Where's the best place to get parked?

    If you want free B & Q  Crieff Road or £5 gets you a spot at McDiarmid.

    Sandford wasnt signed from AIK, despite the club claiming he was. His previous club was some 5th tier Swedish outfit.

    Unsure if compensation was needed.

    Sandford and Dailly - development fees were due to clubs but they were signed without due care being taken as to what the fees would be.  Believe it was not cheap  .  Development fees due to any club player was at from 12 to 23 as I am sure you are aware.

    Accounts say £550k spent in the previous 2 seasons.

    We definitely spent money on John Mahon, Cammy MacPherson, Theo Bair and Nicky Clark. Potentially spent on Bobby Dailly, Dan Phillips and Ali Crawford too.

    Its not a great reading.

    Also had to pay money for William Sandford from AIK Gothenberg on 1 year contract as he was 20 year old.

    Him and Dailly would be the bulk of the money in current accounts hence the comments regarding cross border transfers.

    Any other manager now will now know they are second choice. Not ideal 

    Saints asked for permission to speak to Martindale about the vacancy.  This does not mean that they have not approached other candidates to discuss the vacancy with and then arrange interviews and make a decision.  Just like any other job, short list for interview then offer job to best applicant.

    At the last minute I can make this one! I’m sure it’s been asked a million times before (sorry) but:

    - can I buy an away ticket at McDiarmird Park today? (None available for sale on OS)

    - what’s the best way to get to stadium from Perth train station? (#1 bus?) Cheers

    Usually a cash gate except old firm matches.

    I wonder how much is tied to the club's recent commercial focus. Not only is the manager under pressure to cut the wage bill but perhaps also to get academy 'product' into the shop window for future sale.

    Maybe it is because there is a Fans Forum Open Meeting on Monday night and Alistair Stevenson - Head of Football Academy is guest speaker!!

  7. Thought yesterday it was a bit harsh substituting Parker at half time - he was not the worst centre back on display in yesterday's match.

    I would persevere with him and drop Captain Gordon and replace Considine with McLelland.  This parnership cannot be any worse than the one they are replacing.

    It also give us the weapon of the long throw into the box and with VAR the potential to get penalties.

    Aye that rings a bell. Probably too late for him to play himself into a new contract, so do you give him a year extension in the hope that he returns to anything near he was beforehand or do you cut your losses? I’d be hopeful he gets one but that could be heart over head stuff. 

    Best would be contract to January for both club and player to evaluate progress.  That of course owuld depend on incoming manager wanting Kane and also Kane's agent agreeing to deal.

    Noticed wee Davie at Livingston having a chat with him when we played them at Livvi - hopefully just asking how he was doing and not chatting about a deal.
