Aye, Holt is a good signing for us at the moment. Rio Ferdinand moaning about getting rid of McTominay as every side needs a player that turns up and does the dirty work. Not flash but gets the tackles in , move the play along and gives their all. That’s the midfielder we need right now.

Ayr and Perth… the two big Scottish race days

At Perth races……. Can’t concentrate when everyone else is having a bet. Hampden is where the heart is….

Really like Raymond. Not the best at stopping crosses but boy can he deliver them. He puts them in early which then gives him the option of beating his man next time which he has the talent to do…. very unconventional

McPherson starting today both for footballing reasons and code of conduct is ridiculous. Levein is stubborn. Stubborn people on the right track can be good. on the wrong track, they are a recipe for disaster

I’m not complaining but I’ll take your point that unless it happens, and since it hasn’t happened for the duration of their time at Saints, then there should not be too much worry. I do not follow footballers social media for the reasons I’ve stated I’m glad to hear Keltjen’s is pretty clean. There are plenty of Jews in the UK that campaign against what is happening in Gaza etc, but the majority in Israel are pro. That is a red line for me. I see too much every day. Max is young and has been out of Ukraine for a while but that doesn’t mean , out of ignorance he could post support for many of the insidious groups operating and glorified in Ukraine. A Putin talking point or not, it doesn’t matter, they are there, have a lot of power and are way worse than Tommy Robinson’s sick crew. Some have even been to the UK parliament. There are levels of awareness, knowledge and current cultural acceptability on different issues as Random alluded to previously, all of which are divisive in some nature. Just get get all the players to shut up so we can concentrate in berating them for their footballing ability and not their moral decrepitude or intelligence

Interesting.. I’ve had 3 reds on what I wrote last night warning that controversy like this could happen with some of our other players. I’m wondering why? Everyone has different ideas on where boundaries lie but surely considering the backlash against Cammy we should be aware that there is potential for worse. There is also potential for accusations of hypocrisy which has been alluded to. Webb has to set his house in order and make sure the players know to keep quiet. There is a lot of divisive views on many issues at the moment

Would be pretty happy to see Cammy leave. His performance on Monday night, for someone who doesn’t get to see many games, solidified everything most on here said about him. I also think reposting Robinson in the current climate was thick as mince and appalling. No time for that shit. I actually don’t care what views the players of St Johnstone have as long as they keep them quiet. Football is my escape from politics as I spend way too much time on the latter. We have two other players where we can have controversy, Max and Keltjens. What if Keltjens tweets in support of almost anything Israel is doing at the moment, genocide being the main one, torture and rape of prisoners the others. What if Max shows support for Azov, Pravy Sector or Aidar? Zelensky has tweeted at least three times pictures of soldiers with Nazi patches. I hope not. I just want to watch some good football and forget about the world

BBC reporters have us as favourites for the drop. “losing key players such as Gordon and Philips” For me, Ross County losing Murray and Dhanda is far more crucial. IF…. Levein can make us a cohesive unit I think we’ll be fine. That don’t really happen last year though

Liked the strip when it was presented but it isn’t until on the pitch with the whole team one you get the full impression. when paired with Cameron’s strike it’s going to be one sexy season! ….glass 3/4 full

Actually think it’s white and their at a blue light disco..

My first ever game at Muirton we were all pishing against an outside wall. My only real memory of that game

Haha, apart from the collar I actually quite like it. maybe it was all the years adjusting to Hawthorn Aussie rules jerseys

Could actually see Motherwell jumping above Hibs and Dundee for top six. That would be a laugh

Incredibly, we actually have a chance of breaking into top six tomorrow ….
