Been playing around with editing some video content and ended up making a little Saints montage so just thought I'd share this. Hope people enjoy!

Tonight marked the end of a journey that started over 20 years ago, when on the 15th of April 2005, Owen Coyle took charge of a club who'd just finished 8th in the second tier, just 7pts above relegation.
First few years laid foundations which the later success was built on.
In the context of today, was there a bit of an over-reaction to the Hibs result last week? Hibs on a strong run and won at Ibrox yesterday. Remove that one blip from our last six games games and we've won three (including beating Celtic), drawn two and only conceded one goal.
Absolutely fine with that. A win would have been sensational but the vital thing today was that we did not lose under any circumstances. Lots of football still to be played and sense there's plenty more to come from this Saints side.
League and cup double? π
Really enjoy watching this Saints team. Hard-working, agile, confident on the ball, full of heart and fight to the end. Things perhaps not quite clicking in an attacking sense just yet, but lots of good things to work with. A exciting few weeks potentially ahead of us now.
Amazing how controlling the game also turns luck in your favour.
Maybe just coincidence but feels like the more we keep the ball/dominate, the more balls drop in our favour and/or deflections go our way.

Come. On. You. Saints.
I like this signing a lot.
I think so yeah.
Squad left with just 1 CB, whole country telling you your relegated, 1-0 down after minues in a must win game, 4 mins left
To drag a win from that is special, and well beyond footballing ability
A great man once said St Johnstones heart was it's power, today we saw that again
Actual goosebumps today when we were awaiting the VAR decision on the second goal and the whole Saints crowd started singing for the team. That's what it's all about. Brilliant support.
Just updated our Saints fans starter pack for the first time in a while. If you're a St Johnstone supporter on here and haven't been added yet, just let us know.
Imagine being the organisation that thinks VAR is good and that Eremenko is bad for football. Deary me...

Excited to see more of Victor Griffith. Tired a bit in the second half but looked very assured and positive on the ball, with great movement. Curtis and Fisher looked the part too. This transfer window might not be the disaster that some have seemed very keen to paint it as.
That first half hour or so was the best I've seen Saints play in a very long time. Turned into more of a battle as the game went on but that's exactly what this team's going to have to be good at in the coming months. Teeny tiny green shoots of promise.
I know it's not the worst thing about what's happened so far this afternoon but that Rangers goal music is horrific.
There was a Saints game at Ibrox years ago where the Rangers TV commentator said, "Paul Sheerin or, as he's known to the fans, Stevo." Still think about that every day.
So this is where year after year of half-arsing, backwards thinking, tight-fisting and all-round mismanagement get you. This has been coming for a long time.
January shopping list just got a lot bigger. That first half is one of the worst Saints displays I can remember. Total shambles. Only Sprangler deserves to be kept on the books.

Happy 7-2 Day, everyone. π₯³
Alarming collapse since the St Mirren game and in the space of just a few weeks we've gone from looking relatively comfortable to suddenly being four points adrift at the bottom. As has become customary over the last few years, a helluva lot now hinges on what can be done in the January window.
Full-time whistle immediately please.

100% this. It's as if some people's entire opinions are only ever based on the most recent game. Win a game and we're incredible; lose a game and we need to sack the manager and write off all the players and we're definitely going down.
I'm getting the impression some people thought everything was rosy after the first couple of strong performances and are now lashing out because it hasn't stayed like that. But no new manager was ever going to properly turn things round that quickly. He definitely needs time.
I never understand how people can be to certain we're going down when it's not even January yet. Especially after the last few years where they've all seen with their own eyes that you can be dreadful in this league and still stay up.
