SPL Fanzone: St Johnstone

With the international break upon us there would normally be a massive lull in talk on the Saints messageboards because so few of our players are in action.

In fact, I reckon there is an international conspiracy to keep our players out of national squads, particularly Scotland’s. Ok, it’s a bit historic, but how did Alan Main, John O’Neil and Allan Preston fail to win caps in the late Nineties?

There hasn’t been a lull, though, because there is no shortage of hot topics to be discussed. We’re riding high in the league, only four points off second-placed Motherwell. Derek McInnes is still in the manager’s seat despite reported interest from Bristol City. And our chairman, Geoff Brown, has revealed that the club is considering demolishing one of the stands at McDiarmid Park. Frankly, it’s exhausting being a Saints fan right now.
