We should make an effort for Jim Magilton. Saints shirts and meet up beforehand, all sit together at the ground someshere visible. a few choruses of 'One Jim Magilton' and try to get him over after the game to sign some stuff and a few photos?

Sounds like a plan, i'm in, where to meet, somewhere in caxton st?

Well went to the roar last night, dissapointing result but being a saints fan you get used to that, never mind.

 

If the guy who tapped me on the shoulder is a member here, sorry mate didnt get the chance to chat, next time. Looking forward to the Next game and a Jim Magilton reunion.

 

Hi mate, that was me... :-)

 

Crap game on Saturday night topped off a crap week all round.

G'DAY BOYS..... Just wanted to let all the Brissy Saints that I'm going down the Pig n Whistle tonight with Pete from Southampton to watch the CCM game, plus it's my Birthday weekend. Hope to see some of you down there if you can make it on short notice. 2 tough games this weekend, lets hope it's a win on both sides of the World. If not, I'll be at the MV game to give JM a shout... COYS....COYR....

Hey lads.... Hope someone gets to read this. But ive got "1 grand final ticket" for sale... Ive already got a ticket with a couple of mates from work and am selling mine for the same price of $53. It's in section 331, row 12... If anyone wants it, they will have to meet me b4 the game on sunday and collect it with the money at the gates near the statue... Go the roar... Hope to hear from some lucky person soon. Cheers

Live stream of tonights game against the Skates on Bet365 if you have an account.

 

I signed up and watched that - thanks (I was doubly annoyed as I put $5 on Saints 2-1 !!!!). I wondered what everyone's strategy is for the Middlesrough game, think it kicks off 2.30am. Stay up and write off Sunday, risking falling asleep before it starts? Get an early night and wake up at 2 - bit too early even by Ozzie standards. Or maybe just the usual, sign in first thing and see what the score is - at least the UK crowd will still be awake if all goes our way!

Yeah been in two minds about this one. Last couple of times ive got up and watched live 1 loss, 1 cheats draw so think i might record it and check the score when its over. then i can decide to watch it or not. COYR

Brisbane have done it 2 years in a row! Amazing to see a full Suncorp in orange once again. Very brave call from the referee to seal our victory!

 

Now on referees.... it was a pleasure to turn up at a local football club to fulfil my refereeing appointments only to see a game on before hand that was being refereed by an unnamed Saints fan wearing Saints shirt and all!

 

Got to say the effort was there and it was a great performance, but I would advise not getting into a verbal argument with your assistant referee and letting the game get to a stage where the coach has to come on the field to restrain one of his own players!!! ;)

Instead of being a Brisbane Saint I turned into a Sydney Saint over the weekend. Was too nervous to watch the game and it seemed as though Fox Sports 3 was showing the Hammers game in any case. When I woke from my slumber in my hotel room at around the 70 minute mark the missus told me we were already 4-0 up. Happy Days! I went for a walk down down by circular quay this morning and what did I see - a Saints shirt. I would have hugged the guy but he looked about 15 and was out with his mum and sister!

Back in the UK in early June for 2 weeks so already planning a visit to St Mary's - I guess that's too soon for the new PL kit but I'm sure there'll be some decent stuff to buy and then wear at the Pig 'n Whistle come August.

Maybe try posting this date on the Facebook page as the number of members has doubled in the last six weeks. In Melbourne we are leaning towards a Sunday afternoon in late May for our promotion party so any Brisbane fans in Melbourne at the time feel free to drop in. I will update the date and venue on here as well as Facebook when it's confirmed. We're also looking at getting a website set up for next season as not everyone has/wants facebook. Would probably need someone that would be happy to update events/pictures for the Brisbane part of the site but we have months to work on that. O and one more thing..WE ARE PREMIER LEAGUE SAY WE ARE PREMIER LEAGUE!!

The facebook page has been a great tool for the Melbourne group to enjoy there passion for the saints together.Once we get a wed site going every state will get bigger through a place to catch up on what`s going on and the old fashioned way,word of mouth.

 

The Saints are coming.

How about a time then Matt? And a rough idea of cost for a light lunch - beers paid for over the counter - we can all wear the stripes and I'll bring in the flag again. Pop some videos on and sing a few songs? You'll have to let us know on that one - ambience an all!! Lets see if any of us can get a Twitter RT from some of the players or Tiss to mark the occasion!

Looks like my refereeing for that weekend could entail a trip to Wolves on Friday Night and an afternoon at Lions on Sunday afternoon.

 

I gotta course to attend Saturday morning in Annerley, should be free from 1.

 

May well be able to come along! Very rare I get Saturday's off nowadays. Afterwards there's some good local games on for anyone interested.
