John Boy Saint

Does it have a sub section Stat of "promptly gets it back and faffs about with it while the oppo defence resets". I'll wait for the update in April before getting moist over it.

But in Brazil it’s normally just the Samba drums - adding a bit of rhythm and tempo to the team.

Blimey!................. if only there were just 2 players on the pitch for a game .............:-)🤪

I agree, every time I have seen him, I've been suitably impressed, very neat and tidy and bloody quick - that sprint up the pitch first half Saturday he got near the 18 yard box glanced around for someone to pass to almost "errr where is everyone". He seems keen to hit the goal line which opens up the corridor of uncertainty - which does get little use.

Its a no brainer that someone didn't think about it before, especially as Saints Brass have played outside the stadium for quite a while now - and they do get quite an audience, especially when tootling out a popular tune.

A mate we went with tagged me in a memory on Facebook, when it popped up on the iPad I had a look - I was greeted with "memories from this day". Just looking at my posts the over riding thought was "What a fantastic away day" - and our superb road trip from Geneva and back just added lustre to it all. Yes it would have been nice to have won - but anyone who was there (and not stupidly drunk to have obliterated recall) must hold it up there as one of best away days ever - just for the sheer adventure

Tempted as we were all set to go in March last year - Tickets - Hotel - and a new car collected on the Thursday before (so looking forward to a nice long familiarisation drive)............ then the world stopped.

Celebration slide with it too - he went miles!! What a filthy night down there

Exactly what’s on my going up the chimney playlist. 😇 Thought Saturdays rendition was spot on and the majority were I getting into it. Weirdly the players were mithering a while ago that us fans weren’t firing them up before kick off and the answer has been right under Saints noses for years.

I didn't watch the game as I was working till half time - so he got absolutely nothing for that? Because of an earlier offence being whistled for seconds before? How does that work? - So you can be a right nasty bastard mere seconds after the whistle and kick an oppo player up in the air without recourse?

You might find Ralph will be easing him in. I thought Diallo was rusty on Saturday first few touches, and like that Listerine mouth wash Ad bang he was in the game. Stuart when he came on looked far more rusty, Burnley are a rufty tufty bunch, if you are a tad off your game and you get caught even unintentionally you could find yourself back on the treatment table - that said another full week of training and he could well be up to speed.

Cracking first post, welcome to the funny farm For a player who was a bit Meh season before last - to get a standing ovation from a very large number of the crowd when he was subbed speaks volumes about the majority view on his shift on the pitch.

One thing that was striking on Saturday was the amount of headers he won against bigger players than him. Very neat and tidy - certainly has got stronger.

Said to Mrs JBS as he snuffed out yet another building attack “it’s ok pinching the ball off him in the first instance - but then you have to work out how to get around him - because he is huge” “and while you are thinking about that he’s nicked the ball back”. Funny moment in the first half Leeds player went to challenge him came in at pace and just bounced off him like a rag doll - sat on the floor not sure if he was pleading to the ref for something or to his team mates to say “what else can I do?!”.

….it would be one way to get the toilets refurbed.

Post match entertainment at both ends of Britannia road was mildly amusing. Down by the ground windmills and swinging handbags from Leeds fans who looked easily old enough to know better - They even had a Harris from football factory, complete with cream bomber jacket, over seeing the high kicking arm waving can can girls. Down by the traffic lights the action was done with the Rozzers sat on one or two naughty boys, with a big onlooking crowd from both sides.

@The Cat didn’t take long to get one on the hook 🤪😜😂🤣

More like the annual team photo eleven darts and a blindfold. But you never know.

Not seen elsewhere - David Coote is on the whistle, he’s a funny picky bugger, who’s short changed us a few times. That scabby pen Son conned him with in the cup tops the list. Has the persona to step to our favourite refs boots in the future. Lee Mason watching the TV for him, getting in his ear.

That’s what I said in answering Turkish’s question with a loose example 😳😁🤪😇😄

Me too - I was 14 stood on their notorious South Bank - I got a ticket from a Reading supporting School mate who couldn’t go. One of couple of other lads Dads took us to the game, and I was pointed in the right direction to get in, with “we’ll met you at the players entrance after the match”. Looking back those were the dark days of football fans - as a teenager it certainly got you street smart going to games with a 2-3 mates without an adult. We were catching the train from Basingstoke to Southampton, going down was fine, coming home there was a chance of Neanderthal away fans on the same train to London to transfer north!

That’s a petty cheap stat on the BBC website Whats next burnt at the Stake drowned on the Ducking stool.

Good man - good save - good reaction. 2 more Ingerland goals than Grealish

Beat me too it 😀

…….then she lets herself down with that elbow
