The previous purple patch would have been late 70s/early 80s when Weir, Munro and Thompson were all capped for Scotland. Since then there have been isolated instances like Roy Aitken, Gudmunder Torfason (Iceland), Paul Fenwick (Canada), Sander Puri (Estonia) and Duckens Nazon (Haiti) but never have the club had so many at the same time as now. McMenamin (NI), Strain and Bacchus (Australia), Greive (NZ), Gogic (Cyprus) and now Bwomono (Uganda). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witchfindergeneral Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 On 11/03/2024 at 09:36, Molotov said: From Cairters Corner “By this point in the month, the dark shadow of the coronavirus had moved onto mainland Britain, and talk of a postponement dominated the lead up to the match, however the SPFL decided to play the fixture and this would be the last before the indefinite lockdown was called by the authorities, or as I called it on Twitter, the final match of the old world. It was of course a big match anyway, but Saints knew defeat would put them bottom of the league and with the season potentially finishing early this would be more than problematic as it could result in our relegation. Thankfully, the football gods were kind to us and as we all know a club like Hearts are unlikely to bother us on such a big occasion as they are and always will be the biggest bottle merchants in the history of sport. Saints of course went into the match without captain Stephen McGinn, vice-captain Kyle Magennis and Ryan Flynn, three central midfielders with the latter two almost certain to be playing had they been fit. By the end of the night, we had also lost Conor McCarthy, Ilkay Durmus and Cammy MacPherson to injury leaving our central midfield as Jamie McGrath and Tony Andreu, as Sam Foley had to drop to centre back to replace McCarthy where of course we have serious cover issues after Paul McGinn and Kirk Broadfoot left the club close to transfer deadline day. The fighting spirit of the side was outstanding despite the significant losses to our team, and although there was a nervy end to the match, Hearts never looked like scoring. In fact, had Saints not have so many injuries to contend with on the evening, we would have won far more comfortably than we did, however the 1-0 win was most welcome due to the twelfth goal of the season from Jon Obika, who is proving all of his critics very wrong. On the evening, Hearts couldn’t handle the big striker, and he bullied the two Hearts central defenders before slotting home after a fabulous through ball from Ross Wallace. It was a well-deserved goal, but as well as Obika played it was Sam Foley who was the outstanding player on the field of play as he gave a masterclass in ball winning all over the park.“ TWELVE GOAL JON OBIKA - can't believe i've just read that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zildjian Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) Gogic annnounced for Cyprus just there too. Interesting match tonight Dundee Vs Aberdeen. If dundee loose it, it would give us a 9 point gap, with 4 games left. Would pretty much gaurantee top 6 for us.

djchapsticks Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 That's a potentially massive result for us. Given the choice in the 95th minute with the scores at 1-0 and 1-2 respectively, I'd have rather County equalised than Aberdeen for the reason that Hibs have got more or less a gimme on Saturday and will pick up three points whilst Dundee are more than likely to lose vs Rangers so I'm absolutely fine with Hibs dropping points tonight. Of course, we still need to do our bit on Saturday and if that happens, we don't need to worry so much about what is happening in 6th and 7th but it would be really nice to maintain daylight between us and whoever makes the last space going into the split. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munoz Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Easier said than done, but a win for us on Saturday coupled with a Dundee loss to Rangers on Sunday just about secures a top 6 finish (i think ?). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houston_bud Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 With 4 games to play we're 7 points ahead of Hibs and 6 ahead of Dundee. We've got quite a tricky run of games but even with that, Hibs would need to pick up 9 points from their 4 games to have a chance of catching us. It would take a pretty big swing for us to end up bottom six. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A win for us on Saturday, regardless of results elsewhere, would leave a quite unforeseen set of results having to occur to deny us a top six place. Even if Hibs and Dundee win, we'd be 4 clear of Killie, 6 Clear of Dundee and 7 clear of Hibs with 3 to play before the split. I don't think any side has ever missed top 6 on 45 points, which is what we'd be on with a win at Rugby Park. If we manage to break the RP hoodoo on Saturday, we should genuinely only be looking at staying ahead of everyone below us rather than fearing it may all implode in the following three games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Keanu Baccus is in the Australian squad for WC qualifiers v Lebanon on Mar 21 in Sydney (H) and Mar 26 in Canberra (A). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's now 4 players we have called up. Ayunga - Kenya Bwmono - Uganda Gogic - Cyprus Baccus - Australia I'm going to guess that McMenamin and Boyd-Munce will also make the NI squad and Strain would have been in the Australian squad but for injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering our performance at Dens, they must have been really bad. Thank goodness that was a one-off due to a sickness bug in the Saints squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
