Hibs v St.Johnstone
saint pogo replied to Lyle Lanley's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
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 …. -
The A9 Derby, Stags vs Saints
saint pogo replied to Pete the Jakey's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Agreed. There will be steps forward and some back but as long as we keep safe and competitive then that’s what we needed from Levein. Anything more than that this season is a bonus. It is certainly possible -

Had to do one cut with the grinder on Wednesday and couldn’t be bothered finding the safety glasses. Disc shattered. After trying to show ‘good practice’ to the young lad helping I showed how not to do it. “don’t ever let me do that again” Only takes one time, especially with eyes. Must really hurt! Nasty, hope it heals well! -

My Hearts pal calls Connor Smith a ‘creative winger’ and rates him highly. Doesn’t know why he hasn’t made a bigger impact on the first team. Also talks a lot about Mackenzie Kirk. Signed a one year extension and gone on loan to Hamilton but with our connections could be a name to keep in mind -

St Johnstone's Next Permanent Manager 23/24
saint pogo replied to Ludo*1's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Would be happy with Levein. His heart is in the right place with his players and regards to youth development. As a central defender surely he’d be a good calm influence on Gordon as well. Many positives for this StJohnstone team as it stands and not many negatives -

I spent the afternoon sitting in the Hearts support with a mate of mine, who happens to be an agent, at the guest of parents of one of the Hearts players. All three know Nick Montgomery and have high praise for him especially as a man manager. Saints and Hearts have gone down the route of advancing retired players/coaches into management, with Saints doing it now twice in a row. The football on offer has been dire. Of course finance plays its part, as well as maybe knowing the character and abilities of those that are being promoted but especially with Saints I’ve thought it was laziness and lack of due diligence. Our scouting and signing policy speaks to that as well. Hibs have have gone for a manager who in two seasons has managed a side to two grand finals, losing the first and winning the second 6-1 . Got a feeling they will do quite well. Brown looked shocking in the highlights by the way. Agree going to a 5-3-2 make sense with the players we have -

That could actually convince me to get my second ever Saints top after the cup final one the other year. Very nice -

First game I’ve watched since Calum. As that was too depressing. Hats off to you boys who do it every week, it’s not exactly value for money. Didn’t see much different to any one else but thought Phillips was great the whole match. If Smith gets up to speed there could be a good platform to work from. There was only any intensity for the last 15 minutes in which we scored 2 goals and hit the bar. Kane was a breath of fresh air taking the ball in and laying it off. Not all doom and gloom. -
Got one out of two.

I am very flat about Macca given the job as much as I love him. I made comments about Postecoglu recently not to defend him as as he doesn’t need that with his record, but that I was also frustrated that the talk, very early in his tenure was whether Macca should get the job or not. The arguments that a manager should know the club, or the league are in place of whether they have a track record of doing well at other clubs. Football is football wherever it is played. There are managers of Postecoglu’s ilk but they need to be found which takes time and money. Like it or not Scotland is a stepping stone to plying their trade in England and that is for most Scottish managers as well. I feel this is a lazy, money sensitive appointment. That said because of who he is everyone will be willing him on to get it right and most will have patience with him. Will the new owners, whoever they will be? -

What a load of rubbish. I watched Ange take an awful Roar side with Bob Malcolm in it, to probably the best and most exciting team the A league has ever had with youth and home grown talent. The chance for him as our manager has long gone unfortunately… -

Jody as manager would feel similar to Stevie May coming back…. The timing is impeccable you must admit -

Nice! I had just moved to Australia that year and there is a whole block of Saints football that I missed. All I could get then was the international Daily Record once a week with mostly old firm articles but I could at least get the scores. Good to watch -

Aye maybe. Shows you how quickly things change as he had taken us from the second division and only a year before won manager of the year. Arguably Calum should have won that too. He though got almost two years of regressing before sacking to Totten’s one …..and who is our Baltacha now? -

Was more shocked with Totten’s sacking to be honest . that hurt more than Calum’s -

It really was! I remember the excitement driving past as the building was taking place, the big crowds at most games and the good football that was played. The Airdrie game will always be my favourite and then beating Aberdeen 4-0 early in the season after promotion was dreamy. -
22/23 Premiership Kits
saint pogo replied to jamamafegan's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Our double winning kit is easily our best and pretty much our only decent kit. What was better was the Scottish cup version and the only Saints top I’ve ever bought. -

Saints v Saintees - Wednesday 9 February
saint pogo replied to codfish's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
After seeing the line up I’m almost regretting not going. I always like to see a player compete against his old team especially when there’s a point to prove, so happy with Cammy in the starting eleven. Is this a new Calum? -
