Tractor_Saint

Folks Until I get caught (?!) I'll try and post up highlights from games off the tele for those that don't get BBC / ITV feeds. First one here from the MK Dons match yesterday (and check out the other vids on my account as I think there are some others there too) http://www.youtube.com/tractorsaint

For those of you abroad and those that can't wait for iplayer I've just put the highlights up on YouTube (shhh!)

Ordered my tickets on the first day they went on sale for ST holders. Just received them this morning, all 7 sat together and block 141 row 20 - woo hoo!

What a stupid question. Yes, there will be tickets on sale. From my perspective, depends on if we're in league one or the Championship From GS perspective he may be looking more at league two prices.

Many pages back but I've seen no highlights yet so am re-posting the links to a few vids in case anyone's interested / missed it cos I hardly every read a thread end to end that's more than two pages

http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/TicketNews/0,,10280~1992402,00.html "Those all important tickets for the Wembley Final on Sunday 28th March will begin to be posted from Monday. Tickets sold for the Johnstone's Paint Trophy showdown will be sent out all week from Monday 15th so please allow a few days for these to be delivered."

Started to write a reply along the lines of 'I'd have expected real fans to actually know what time kick off is, after all, I love pubs and don't need to ask when they are open' however, remembered that I thought I had you on ignore but must have clicked the wrong button so I'm now confused as to whether to hit 'Submit reply' or the big red button. Here goes, closing eyes now...

Was eating a very very tasty Chicken Balti pie tonight pre-match in Kingsland around 19:15 and a couple of guys said "Scuse me, what time's the kick off? Is it 19:45 today?" Um.... er.... um...

Just read that and it reminded me, their keeper was really rather good and a hellava lot better than KD today. If you think about the final 10 mins or so he made a few good saves similar to those that KD spilled today.... BRING BACK BART! tbh, why not? We're not getting promoted this season. We're not going to be relegated (Stevo, please don't bite) so let's get ready for next season and make sure all of our first team and reserves are ready for the year ahead. If we lost Lambert and Barnard now what would we be like?

No, no, not two posts in a row where I agree with Saint Stevo. Is it because I'm coming of age or is it because of a very nice bottle of Merlot tonight? However, (again, have to say something apart from agreeing with him otherwise he might have my love children), I think we did against Leeds what Swindon did against us. We stopped Leeds playing their usual game. Leeds game, we were chasing every ball, making sure if a Leeds player had to control the ball before passing we were on top of them and making them pass quickly and make mistakes. Today, it was the opposite. Not sure whether it was the fact that we didn't bring it to them and challenge every ball and we just sat back, or whether it was Swindon just knowing how to break that down and keep control of the ball. Very very frustrating but fair play to Swindon - they played a very good game tonight.

I'm ignoring his attention seeking No, seriously, I am so stop fscking quoting him

For once, even though I don't quite understand the second(ish) sentence, I agree with something Saint_Stevo has said! First half we should have taken the chances we were given, 2nd half was punt and see and we saw and lost. Only thing I'd say is we did have pace in the guise of Papa but he was offside

Swindon came with a fantastic game plan to really stifle our usual free flowing game. I hope none of our opponents left to play look at this game as it'll give the secrets away! We did have quite a few chances (a few vids attached at the bottom if interested). Barnard was definitely offside but Lamberts 2nd half strike that hit the crossbar had oooooodles of space the other side of the keeper had it gone there - knew at that point it was going to be one of those nights. KD had a shocker - no way his fault the goal but he had huge butter fingers throughout. Heard he got to the changing rooms and threw his head in his hands... and missed (sorry, couldn't resist). Why James? ffs, I would have thought he'd have had some crossing practice with his time off but, no. Great to see Connolly back and he really fought for the ball which is what we needed to do across the pitch. Too much standing back and letting Swindon play. Harding had another good game. Thomas was also pretty solid and loved the way he kept having a dig at the guy he was marking. Every opportunity, a nudge here, a push there. Finally - tossers on the roads tonight, big silver 4x4 - licence plate something like CIS 1M (more apt would have been GIS 1M) - wouldn't let me in to a huge lot of queuing traffic so I had to have my two penneth after getting out of the car about how much queue he must have jumped by nearly taking off my front wing. We can only assume he and his missus were in Corporate and not used to having to 'queue' in traffic. Got me wound up even more !! Vids for now:

Are you sure this is the edited version of what you originally wrote?

You think our TO is bad - check out this thread: http://www.hof.org.uk/showthread.php?t=2403

Stupid Sky HD box - thought we were going mad this morning when we watched the League show back. Took us 20 minutes to figure out that just before the Norwich match was shown our Sky box skipped that game and the Saints game and straight onto the Brighton one -grrr.

Um, where's you Norwich supporting other half at this point? Surely you've got a few brownie points today for taking 3 points off Leeds?

...

Not sure if it's that easy to see on this but we had a birds eye view of it - definitely a penalty and I was pleading with the ref and didn't actually see the ball go in the back of the net only to be disallowed!! (at time of posting "This video is still being processed. Video quality may improve once processing is complete.")

2-1 Saints - Harding to score first....

lol - along with Not sure about the last comment though on that - someone please add something more intellectual?

Did this get St Keith banned?? Who's gonna start the 'Free Saint Keith' thread

?

But they were right weren't they? You didn't have tickets but your Dad did because it was his bank account used?

?? The money was taken out of my bank account on 25th Feb - three days after I bought the tickets.
