Hi John. I help coordinate a foodbank collection at my local club, St. Johnstone. Crates full of food and toiletries donated by fans on Saturday. We’re just one many clubs that do this too.
But aye, doesn’t play as well as just baselessly saying football fans are jerks eh?
Is waving goodbye to this cat Jason Kerr’s greatest moment, including lifting two cups and that penalty in Istanbul? That’s not for me to say, but yes.
Everton boss Sean Dyche confirms that Scotland right-back Nathan Patterson will require surgery and has been ruled out for the rest of the season.

Imagine knocking a woman walking on her own to the ground, for the purposes of stealing a drum. Just pathetic. They need to grow up, as do the folk defending them because they like the same team.
The fact said woman is a friend is irrelevant. Some folk’s heads need a shake.
@tommygorman26
Imagine firstly forgetting why old grounds are in working class areas in the first place, secondly not realising that’s a big part of the reason they’re great, and then calling the area a dump and advocating bulldozing it so your club can have better coach parking. Minging vibes.
I honestly reckon that, as a society, we largely let Charlie Adam off the hook for that time he went full kit wanker to watch the final round of the Masters in his own house.
Fuck the wanker that posted this, fuck all the (far too many) wankers that liked this and, most of all, fuck Mason Greenwood. We all saw the pictures and we all heard the recordings, he leathered that girl and tried to do even worse. He’s scum, as is everyone who defends him.

Yer man Jarvo is a prime example of why you don’t laugh at dickheads when they act like a dickhead, because it just encourages them to engage in repeated dickhead patter.
I’d imagine they don’t have to ask permission to use something from our Podcast given it’s out in the public domain, but needless to say had they asked or even given a quick heads up, they would have been told to direct themselves immediately to the nearest fucking bin.
I could live to be 150 years old, and I will still never be able to wrap my head around the fact that everything that’s happened this season began with a 1-1 draw away at this mob.
- Got the first goalscorer wrong.
- Did a (dreadful) second half welcome AFTER kick-off.
- Announced the wrong player going off.
- Then broadcast my whole inner-monologue correcting myself.
-Swore.
-Went to say ‘man of the match’ at a Womens game.
A truly polished performance.
Have to say today was a first for me.
In over 40 years of going to the football I've never heard a stadium announcer swear whilst on the mic.
Cheers

Fair made me laugh 😂😂😂
Christ, 35 year old, what an absolute sin. The poor soul. Probably also a good reminder that, as much as we all piss and moan about football, folk are going through stuff in their life that none of us know about.
Oh aye, one more thing before I shut up. These boys gave us one of the all time great thrills this year, the likes of which we’ll probably never see again. No matter what happens next, that never gets taken away. Go easy on ‘em, it’ll be alright.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If you’re enough of a pain in the arse on the internet towards your football team, you can achieve all your dreams. What a day. What a glorious day.
Andy Murray, Dougray Scott, Irvine Welsh, that small child who makes YouTube videos, eight-eyed hit-parade ticklers The Proclaimers, Andy Murray’s brother….can you hear me Andy Murray’s brother?! Your boys took one hell of a beating!
Dunno what they’re offering him by way of a wage, but he should reject it. There isn’t enough money in the world to make a sane person want to live in fucking Wigan.
Big Johnny Mahon, btw. A collective total of about 25 minutes football since he came in, then comes in last night and chucks in that performance. Whatever the side looks like come August, and it will look different, I will be astonished if he doesn’t come up big for us.
Absolutely wild that St. Johnstone winning a perfectly normal game of football in perfectly normal circumstances is such a not normal feeling. You know what though? I like it. On yourselves Saints, you sexy shower of bastards.
They’ve a bloody good manager who’s pulled together a bloody brilliant team. Can literally, literally, count on one hand the number of domestic competitions they’ve not won since 2016. Like, are they just finding mad shit to get vexed about because they’re just bored now?
Celtic are the only team home and away that gets every single goal checked by VAR.
Every single goal.
They try find anything possible not to give a goal.
Take away your conspiracy nonsense it’s clear as day it’s happening every week.
Tell you what, Matty Smith is a genuinely terrific footballer. If we can sort out anything that resembles a competent midfield around him, and complete day one of schoolboy football learning to mark up at corners, then we have half a chance.
Also, and I know I’m biased because I like the guy, but the abuse Elliot Parish got yesterday, and gets in general, was fucking embarrassing. Sarcastically applauding one of your own players is absolute virgin patter too.
A few what might have beens, but ultimately we just got outclassed at key moments. No shame in it, that’s the game. They replaced Arda Turan with Ryan Babel for fucks sake.
But to still be level in the tie after 135 minutes, Christ alive, what an effort. So proud of the boys.
I once saw Babyshambles live when Pete basically overdosed on heroin backstage. Two hours late, failed to get through a single song, someone bottled their manager when he pleaded for calm, and the drummer quit mid-set.
Still better than this Robbie Williams set at Isle of Wight.
Things I was doing at 16: trying to convince the lads at the offie I was 18, trying to convince girls to look past the acne and braces, listening to a lot of My Chemical Romance.
Things Franny Franczak is doing at 16: Being the absolute universe boss. What a performance.
Right, that’s me logging off for a few days. I’m alright and starting to feel better, just taking a few days. If you’ve got in touch and I’ve not replied I’m so sorry, but it’s so appreciated and I promise I will. Might re-emerge if United or Saints do a real funny. Much love.
I’ll be entirely honest, for a massive gobshite I was unusually quiet during the semi-final. Last 24 hours or so haven’t been the greatest I’ve ever had personally. It’s been fucking stinking tbh.
Perth St. Johnstone, though. Talk about snapping me out of it. What a team.
For a number of reasons - other commitments, the World Cup and that weird spell I had where I couldn’t leave Perth without shaking like a shitting dog - I’m off to my first away game since, Christ, August today. And I have to tell you pals, I am BLOODY EXCITED about it.
Fergie got a lot of things right down the years, and his distrust of social media might be top of that list. Imagine scoring a fucking stupid own goal in the derby and then plastering pictures of said oggie on your own Twitter feed. Tinpot antics.
Such a blow losing him but Christ, you can’t even be pissed off when he writes something like that, can you? Go and absolutely rip it up down there lad.

My family owe them everything, and I’ll never forget that.
VAR is inevitably going to bite us on the arse at some point in the near future. For now though? You snuggle right into your lovely Perth home, our new banter overlord.
I know I’ve said it once already, but thank you so much everyone. I’ve had messages and support from friends I know and friends I don’t, and they all mean so much. I’m not ok right now, but that’s fine. I will be. I’ve a road ahead, but I fancy the walk.
Shankland the real star of this. Standing on the edges, making it look like he wants in by pretending to shove folk out the way, but actually moving absolutely nowhere outside his happy place of being a total fanny.
If someone told me six months I’d be getting called out by a football club over a pie, I’d have laughed at them. Lesson is though, folks, if you stick at it and really want it, you can achieve all of your lifelong dreams.
Absolutely heartbreaking that these clubs have been diddled over by the closed shop of…a meritocratic league structure that features promotion and relegation. Total, miscarriage of justice that they’ve fallen foul of the structure by virtue of not being very good at football.
That’s some effort. Just underlines the need for league reconstruction. Pars, bairns, Thistle, Dundee etc should be in the top flight. This closed shop pish does no one any favours

To be honest, Grant Hanley turning into the second coming of Alessandro Nesta was absolutely not the plot twist I saw coming into this tournament, but you can’t argue with what’s in front of your eyes.
Think everyone who knows me is aware that my old man isn’t too well at the minute, and had a spell in hospital this week. Thankfully he got home yesterday. Watching the reds in the cup final today meant a hell of a lot. Winning it was just the cherry on top. Up the boys in red.
Loads of plaudits to throw about tonight, to Hendry and Brown in particular, but Stevie May, hells horses. Absolutely grafted his bollocks off. Tremendous.
So, yer old da’s achieved a bit of a lifelong dream by appearing in
@FourFourTwo
. I will admit this dream was based around being European Footballer of the Year, but I’m shite at football, so doing this season’s season preview for Saints will more than do.
On the shelves now!
I’m going to stick my head above the parapet here. I would genuinely much rather we put a nail in that absolute wasteman Malky Mackay’s coffin this than we did Dundee United’s.
Thanks everyone for being so nice to me about this, and taking time out to drop me a line. Bloody touched and overwhelmed by all of them to be honest. I promise I’ll get back to everyone at some point today, but I really do appreciate it.
Otherwise engaged next Sunday, and now have no guilt about not schlepping up to Dingwall midweek, so that’s me done for the season. A bloody long, at times bloody difficult season, but today was magic. See you all again next season for more delicious cinch.
The boys in blue 💙
Goes without saying, but thoughts with the fella knocked down after the match. Didn’t see it, but from all accounts sounds awful. Also, speaking from experience, seeing someone get knocked down is bloody traumatic so hope everyone who witnessed it is holding up ok.
This is what this football club’s about, by the way. Ordinary supporters making donations out of the goodness of their own heart to help out those in our community who need a helping hand, game after game after game. So proud to play my own part in it. You’re the best in town 💙

What is your "sliding doors" moment in football?
The biggest "what if?"
I wrote about Everton playing in the 1985/86 European Cup, do you have another example?
Right, I get some of the reservations about old Nadir. Fair dropped off the radar. He’s still only 29 though and has gone at around 1 in 4 through his career, which would give us a shot. Plus, and this is very important, he’s a massive shithouse and it’s going to be box office.
For once this isn’t because one of us has taken the huff and called the other one a twat. Alas, that also means we won’t be back in a few weeks once we’ve had a hug.
We hope we’ll be back, but that’s not for now, so from the bottom of our hearts thank you all so much. Much love.
Well the time has come. ⏰
It’s been a blast but bigger priorities have come to the forefront recently and have to be put first.
We will hopefully return but not sure when.
Anyone who donated through the coffee app will be refunded asap.
Thanks for listening.

Came up big for us time after time, when it mattered most. Also, perhaps more than anything, the lad was just absolutely box office. All the very best to you, you big lunatic

I never like playing the “ref did us” card, you have enough time in the game to account for any mistake.
Fuck me though, this and the free-kick that led to it. Might as well have bent us over and slid it in.
I’ll always be incredibly grateful to Callum Davidson for that nine months or so from February to November 2021. It was an absolute buzz and I loved it. Alas, football’s brutal, it was only going on way, and you can’t survive off sentiment and former glories. He had to go.
I’m so proud of this group of volunteers and to be a part of it, and I’m so proud and grateful to you all. Last night was genuinely incredible. Got awful dusty inside McDiarmid all of a sudden when that banner got unfurled too! Thank you all so much.
I’m assuming that literally everyone saying Spoony would have notched that pen, even as a banter, has forgotten the one he stuck half way up Newhouse Road against Preston.
“First person to ever score a hat-trick in a World Cup Final when all three have been over the line.”
That is every art form going in one line from Ally there.
