Tommy Løvenkrands has his name
mentioned in the same sentence as the words "brother of Rangers
star Peter" (or something like that).

A bastion of professional journalism as shown below. Managed 2nd place
in 1996-97 but walked away with the title
last year before reverting to 2nd in
1998-99 and winning it again in
1999-2000. Their WWW site is
here

March 24th-Non-report on the Bradford game says that Jess played
last night. He didn't.
March 23rd- Fawning report on Petrov says he was injured in a
collision with Weir last Sunday. Methinks the Retard has its days mixed
up.
March 20th-Report on club fines says Sylla is banned for 4 games
and Bollan 2 - it's the other way round.
February 14th-MoMo is now from the Ivory Coast according to the
Pars report - same reporter same shite.
February 12th-MoMo is now from the Ivory Coast according to the
Killie report.
February 5th - Arabs report said that Kane set up Nathan for his
first touch goal. It was Pope and it was Nathan's 2nd touch !! 2 pts.

booking means he's suspended this weekend - wrong he was suspended
already.
December 8th- The StJohnstone stars have been added to Sandy
Clarks squad for THE TRIP to St.Mirren - the game is in Perth.
November 27h - Report from the Killie game said it was the first
time we'd been in the top 6 all season. Wrong. Thanks to
mailto:jim.dempsey@libertysurf.co.uk
for that.
November 13th - Report on the Sellik game confuses Kernaghan with
Dods at one of the goals.
November 6th - Report on the Pars match slags Kernaghan for
wearing gloves - ignorant of his diabetic condition.
November 4th-Preview of the Pars match says Frail and McCluskey

October 7th- Website article on Kevin Thomas' injury said he'd
signed for us 5 years ago.

August 26th- An absolute classic with the online preview of the
Killie game headlined...FOOTBALL: PETER: STAND BY FOR MORE MAGIC
followed by an interview with someone called Peter Lovenkrands
sounding suspiciously like our Tommy. 2 points cause it's that bad.
August 17th- Says that Paul Kane was skipper at East End Park for
Saints - nope it was Jim Weir.
July 29th- Preview of the new season shows Saints as still having
a yellow away strip and blue shorts on the home one. 2 points..

July 1st- Says that the possible signing of Paul Hartley will be
the first of the season - nope it'll be the second.
Falsehood League Standings
My daily read so expect a few entries here. Especially as they tend to
give some coverage to the non-OF teams. Excludes any drivel written by
Bill Leckie who has his own category.
March 14th- Iain "Total Wanker" Kings report on the TFOE
game credits Weir with a shot in the 2nd half when it was actually Father
Dougal.

Nathan Lowndes.
December 27th- Ibrox report mentions Saints winger Peter

penalty - it was Kernaghan
August 25th- Says that we play Hibs tomorrow. Nope it's
Kilmarnock.
July 29th-Preview of the new season throws up some crackers. Lists
Gerry as the player likely to leave first - he left last month. Nathan is
described as being a Cockney striker and finally they list of what the
club did in the summer says no work was done at the ground. So undersoil
heating doesn't count then? - 3 points.
June 29th- Article on Craig Russel's return with a pic of Graeme
Jones.
Falsehood League Standings
Sun columnist and reporter with a dodgy quiff and a
wonderful fetish about Barbour jackets. Thinks of himself as the champion
of the underdog but in reality is just another annoying wee shite.
Falsehood League Standings
Not a regular read but always good for some errors.
Falsehood League Standings
Another honest and fair paper. Excludes the page of McNee rants - he
has his own section (see here).
May 6th-Report on the St Midden game gives us 2 mentions of Peter
Lovenkrands.
December 31st- Hearts report has axed Dane "Peter"
Lovenkrands. Amazing how inept these people are.

Saints against Pars.
July 29th- Picture of Jim Weir captioned McBride.

Reasonable good coverage given that its a Scumdee Daily. Their WWW site

played since February. It must have been his clone that came off the bench
at Fir Park previous week then
Mach 21st- Talks of Peter Lovenkrands and John Paul McBridge!!!!.
- 2 points.
February 1st- Report on the postponed match says that it was
previously called off for torrential rain. Total Bollocks.
October 20th- Refers to MoMo as Guyanan.

Old Firm are Scottish Football so the rest don't matter - as you might
guess. Columnist Hugh Keevins has his own section
here. Their WWW site is
here
February 4th - Arabs report said that Kane set up Nathan for his
first touch goal. It was Pope and it was Nathan's 2nd touch !! 2 pts.
December 10th- Usual dose of illiterate copytaking in the St
Mirren report - let's hear it for Keigan (Kiegan) and McCluskie
(as in Stuart no doubt). Just as well we don't include the opposition
as well - the spelling for them is just as bad.
November 19th- Couple of crackers in the report on the Arabs
match. Confuses Russell with Kiegan in the first half and said Bollan
brought down Hannah for the penalty claim - it was McQ and it was well
outside the box.
October 28th- Apparently the first shot at Tynecastle was by Paddy
with the rebound falling to Kane - nope the rebound came to Kiegan.
October 1st (Pt 2)- Jones was replaced by Peter Lovenkrands

fouled by Zitelli for the disallowed goal and Kane's booking was for a
foul on Jack not O'Neil

Lovenkrands. God they've got it in for Tommy haven't they?

playing for us yesterday.

- nope it was an attack on Kiegan.
July 23rd- "Russell Craig" played for Saints against
Carlisle - back to front as usual.
July 16th- Tells us that "Kenneth Cuthbert" played in
goal for Saints v Norwich. Apologies to Kevin due methinks.

The Dundee radio station, famed for Dick Donnelly and George
Duffus - don't take it seriously
Falsehood League Standings

Lovenkrands.

signing as "Peter" Lovenkrands.

August 26th- Mentions Saints winger Peter Lovenkrands.
August 19th- Arabs match report twice mentions Main as the Arabs

Aberdeen-based daily with some good coverage of the East Coast teams.
Falsehood League Standings
With Saints in the Premier some coverage is guaranteed to be minimal as
last season - see here
for details.
February 5th - Says on the headline of the match report (3/2/01)
that it finished 2-1 to United, not 1-1.
July 14th- Say that the season kicks off on August 29th -
Christ and we're playing the Huns as well so the error is twice as bad.
Falsehood League Standings
Mainly Radio Scotland. Excluding Chic the Pric (see here)
but including On/Off The Ball and the related websites.
December 23rd- Well match line-ups apparently includes Martin
O'Neill in the Saints subs - and they say they're not obsessed with the
OF?
November 28th- Aberdeen match has Mark Guidi (major arse) talking
about how Saints beat TFOD 1-0 - nope it was 2-1. Also there was the
announcer saying how it was "St. Mirren against Aberdeen at
McDiarmid". 2 points.
August 19th- Arabs match report has Jones shot against Main !?!?.
July 29th- Off the Ball website has the Pars has signing "Tommy,

November 20th- Arabs report has a couple of good ones. Says
Hartley took the corner for the goal - it was Kane and that Parkers shot
in the first half just went past Mains post (that'll be Alan Main who was
standing at the other end of the park then)?
July 29th- Two classics with the Rangers report giving the score
as 2-0 not 2-1 and saying that Sylla was signed from Le Mans - nope it was
Le Havre.
Falsehood League Standings
Including Extra Whine - again unlikely to feature much as Perth isn't
in Glasgow and they're too stingy to pay Sky for the rights to show the
matches. After missing out on the start of the season the STV show is back
with Jim "hes a right" Delahunt and Alan "Bankrupt"
McInally 1998-99 champions. This also includes
the digital S2 channel.
August 30th- Carling Stats have us as having only scored 1 home
goal so far - nope it's 3.

more!!!!

against Celtic the previous Tuesday - it was Kernaghan.
Falsehood League Standings
Edinburgh daily that will be lucky to mention Saints outside of the Old

here

Falsehood League Standings
Saintees everywhere's favourite ex-Scotsman journalist. Amazing tunnel
vision since based in Embra he seems incapable of dealing with anything
other than the Wegie Unwashed. New for this year since hes bound to cover
some Saints games. Now writing for the Sunday Mason as the replacement for
McNee (some honour eh). This man is the MOST LOATHED journalist
amongst Saints fans.
December 17th- Article on Kiegan says he made his debut in the
1999-2000 season at Easter Rd. Nope it was the season before at Rugby
Park.
Falsehood League Standings

has 3 errors stating that Rangers scored a penalty (Keegan Park)
and that Saints scored 2 (Charlie Miller and Momo Siller). Classic. Thanks

for the Ivory Coast.
August 13th-Despite saying that the Pars match was "shorn of
incident", the report missed out on Kiegans booking.

Manchester based but what the hell. Their WWW site is
here
Falsehood League Standings
As found at

- normally a fairly accurate site.
August 19th- Preview of the Arabs game talks about "Neil
Hartley" playing for Saints !!.
Falsehood League Standings
Free paper distributed in Edinburgh and Glasgow. First year under it's

expect a few scores.
April 2nd- Report on the Hibs game refers to "Ghanian"
MoMo Sylla.
June 9th- Picture of Danny Griffin and the Story was about Keith
O'Halloran. Thanks to chris@croebuck9.fsnet.co.uk

snatch Lehmann from Hibs. Classic crap.
April 22nd- Crowd for the Well match given as 3105 - it was 3195.

they mention John O'Neill (they mean Michael). Then we're told a
win will put us into 6th place - we're already there.

Kernaghan) and says our keeper was someone called Maine !!!! 2 points.
July 29th- Saints haven't one on opening day for 25 years - nope
