I’m going to give you a piece of genuine and well intentioned advice. You’re making a James Hunt of yourself, most of us have on occasions been there so I’m not singling you out, but just need to switch off P and B for the night and come back tomorrow when your heads not gone.
How, exactly? You’re the one going around making delusional comments like “natural order maintained” and deploying armchair psychology (“you’re embarrassing yourself”) against random people on the internet.
If you don’t think that’s “too invested” or embarrassing then I really have to question your grasp on reality.

What's in the air in Perth that makes their posters on here so fucking boring?
Seriously?
I don’t think you’re in a position to evaluate opposition supporters when supporters from your own side fill threads with tired banter like “you are seething” or “natural order maintained”

He’s the one here playing PnB bingo trying to get bites with his old firm and Dundee United barbs. Infantile and tedious and clearly not taking matters too well.
No, just being honest. I’ve been on here numerous times when we’ve lost and you’ll more often than not receive a few comments from opposition supporters who are gracious in victory. It’s usually appreciated and I like reading insight from fans of other teams.
Of course, there’s always one or two opposing fans with crappy banter and delusional remarks, but your rabble are uniquely dreadful. Kind of reminds me of interacting with Rangers fans.

Oh come on. If we had scored the winner on the 88th minute we'd be doing exactly the same.
“Both sides are just as bad”. Don’t do that.
Even when we win I still see a bit of grace and humility from our supporters, but there’s never any in sight from Dundee fans.

Seems like you're seething at natural order being restored
Dull.

You are a lot like Rangers fans though, aren’t you?
At least you can get some humility and decent banter out of Dundee Utd fans, but Dundee fans just seem delusional and tedious.

I did say ‘hard luck’ but you’re clearly seething so much you might have missed it.
Ah, we got a “you are seething”.
I think you’ve just won mediocre banter bingo.-1 -

There’s a theory in our workplace that Dundee fans are among the worst in the league, however I tend to give them the benefit of the doubt because I know some gracious Dee fans with some decent banter.
However, this thread really helps clarify why so many people believe Dundee fans are the worst in the league. There’s quite a few gracious comments from Saints fans (e.g., “Dundee were the better team”), however there’s no sign of any Dundee fan with even an ounce of grace or humility (you’ll usually find one or two from opposing sides).
It’s pretty weird considering they’ve been the third team in Tayside for over a decade. They’re almost as bad as Rangers fans (not quite).

There's really no argument to be made about this St Johnstone squad because it's incomplete.
The biggest problem is we have no pace or width. A lot of the signings we've made will only perform under appropriate conditions, and a team without pace and width is not conducive to effective football.
We can evaluate this new crop of players until we're blue in the face but it's all a bit redundant because we have no pace or width and very little creativity.
I suspect they'll only come good once we field a full football team and allow them to do the job we signed them for.0 -
Next three fixtures: Celtic (A), Dundee (H), Rangers (H).
We won't take anything from Rangers or Celtic so it's highly likely we won't have a single point after five games unless we get a result against Dundee.
I suspect this season might see us set the record for the lowest final point tally of any SPL club in the 21st century.

However... the reason why I think this is a particularly key match is looking at Saints fixtures. If they lose here, they theh have Celtic away next, then a derby with Dundee (that Dundee will be totally up for!) then Rangers, then Hibs away. If they don't get many points from those matches, Steven Maclean will be under real pressure especially as Saints fans expect to at least be near the top 6. Injuries or not.
This County v Saints match is a big one for sure!
I'm yet to encounter a Saints fan who thinks 10th place would be anything less than a good outcome for this season. We're going through a complete rebuild, largely because Davidson spent two years building a house of cards.
If he was the manager of any other team in this league he'd probably have been sacked a year earlier. We tend to give our managers a chance; that approach usually works well for us, however Davidson was the exception.1 -
If you're going to play a lone striker then:
- He needs to hold the ball up;
- He needs to be fast; OR
- You need fast/capable wingers.
We don't have a fit striker capable of 1 or 2, and we don't have a team with capable wingers. This is why I feel it's shortsighted evaluating Jephcott at this stage; we lack the requisite personnel to facilitate or supply a striker like Jephcott.
Actually, I suspect this is partly why Bair failed as well; our style of play sets him up to fail. Evaluating Jephcott in a team without wingers or capable attacking midfielders is like evaluating a bicycle without wheels. I suspect Clark would create a more suitable enironment for Jephcott to flourish, but you'd still need a more consistent and effective supply from the flanks/midfield.4 -
The current defensive problems really make me question the decision to let Mahon go in January.
It’s all the more bizarre when you consider Bair played 33 times last season and Mahon only played 3.

£25 a ticket is not affordable for most folk and would stop many going to as many games as I think we’re already starting to see this season with lower away crowds.
Had to laugh at Hibs’ Christmas ticket so called package deal of £44 for two matches. What in the blue hell do they normally charge for a ticket if that’s meant to be a good deal?
It's not the affordability issue that gets me, it's the quality.
On the whole Scottish football simply isn't good enough to warrant £25 entrance fees.

Much of a muchness. All of the players we all know are woeful are still woeful. Likewise, Davidson still lacks the requisite aptitude to organise a piss-up in a brewery.
Really, the only thing we've learned from this experience is we may need to set up some mandatory training on how to operate online forums for that andrewh guy. He seems confused.

Dross. Extremely stop-start. Next to no attacking threat from Saints and basic errors being made all over the park.
Our midfield is anonymous.

I genuinely don't know what it will take for him to be fired.
Of course, we're all missing one thing: there's no guarantee that whoever replaces him is going to be up to the task. With a couple of additions, a few departures and some tactical nous I feel like we could be a mid table side, however will it look that way to a prospective manager?
Every game that passes doesn't just increase the probability of relegation, it makes us less attractive to any prospective manager capable of turning turn things around. If we wait much longer we'll likely put ourselves in a position where the board realises:
- it has to get rid of Davidson
- no suitable candidate wants the job
Part of me worries Davidson's stench permeates so strongly throughout the club that it might take more than a season for a new manager to get rid of it.

I think you can be both understanding of the players want and need to be closer to family and also from a fans perspective, be frustrated that we are letting a player who we signed not long ago walk away from a 2 year deal and by the sounds of it sign for another club within 24 hours.
I don't really want to know whatever the family situation that it is, that has meant he needs to be at home, its none of my business and I hope he and his family are all well.
I think that's the key point: it's none of your business. However, his business has become the club's business.
As far as how I conduct myself, I don't expect business associates to care about or burden the consequences of my personal problems, irrespective how severe they are. They hired me to do a job and that's as far as our relationship goes. None of us show up to work out of kindness, we do it purely for self-serving reasons (money), yet we all expect employers or clients to show kindness to us.
It's a different world nowadays though, one which expects me to make all of my personal problems the problems of my workplace, employer or client. It definitely isn't a reciprocal relationship (ie, the avg. modern footballer has no loyalty to their club).

I think the worst thing about Davidson is he makes me feel like a suitable candidate for manager. I genuinely feel like I could do a better job than him.
I've never really felt that way about a Saints manager before. We've had poor managers, but we've never endorsed complete strategic and tactical incompetence before, at least not in my lifetime.
The only reason he remains in place is because the club is concerned about PR and contractual obligations. I doubt those concerns will disappear over the course of the season.

I think we should invent a new metric called "cost of Davidson" (COD).
I feel the COD for this side is at least -3 league places relative to a competent manager.

Davidson now claiming Hallberg was substituted because he was ill. https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/sport/football/st-johnstone/3318375/callum-davidson-st-johnstone-missed-chance-to-put-ict-play-off-to-bed-but-will-bounce-back-in-second-leg/
He certainly didn't look or play like he was ill. It's almost like cautious Callum has read the reaction online and is manufacturing a pretext to disguise his incompetence.

What an utter arsewipe you are... this time last year you would have demanded Callum Davidson be appointed First Minister.
Now.....the hard work gets down and dirty where are you?
Hope St Johnstone arent populated with so-called supporters (gloryhunters) like this arsehole.
You seem to be mistaking this thread for a place where people give two f***s what a Morton fan thinks.

Davidson: "Two really poor decisions let them back in the game. They got a little bit of momentum".
Yeah, the first of those decisions was substituting Hallberg and the second one was substituting Middleton.

You’re telling me I spend too much time on here yet you’re sitting watching as I type?
Firstly, unlike you, I’m barely ever on here (see my profile). Secondly, I just posted an honest remark which a lot of Dundee fans reacted to, and probably because what I said is true.
