The "1997 New Year's Day Commemorative Gubbing" Award
for Best Home Performance |
|
Saints 5
Accies 1
(46 Votes)
(3-0 vs Clyde) |
75% of the vote went to the
cracking league win in October when everything seemed to go just right
and made up in a small way for the Challenge Cup semi defeat to Billy
Reid's side a few weeks earlier, as well as marking the time when we
realised we actually had signed some decent players.
Second place went to the 3-0 win over Brechin with other votes coming
in for the opening day gubbing of QoS, the 3-2 cracker against Stranraer
and the five goals we stuck past Raith Rovers. |

Performance |
|
Partick 4
Saints 4
(22 Votes)
(4-0 vs Partick (Dec)) |
A narrow win this over the
2nd trip to Dens but the thrilling cup-tie at Firhill wins through - for
those of us that were there it was a game that simply had everything -
late goals, bad misses, penalties and the resurrection of a certain Mr
Rutkiewicz.
2nd place was the Kelvin-inspired victory at Dens while 3rd was the
end-of-season champagne-spoling mission to Love Street. Other votes went
to the 3-1 win at Palmerston, both games at Broadwood, and the wins at
Hamilton and Brechin |
|
The "Let's Ban Sky" Award for Worst Home Performance |
|
Saints 0
Gretna 1
(32 Votes)
(0-3 v Falkirk) |
Receiving just over half
the votes and a clear winner was the 3rd round Scottish cup defeat to
Gretna (a name you'll see a lot in this years TOSSAs). Still at least we
lost to the finalists which is some consolation isn't it?....no? Suit
yersel
Second place went to the 2-1 defeat to the Midden while the goalless
borefest against the Scum was 3rd. Other masochistic moments remembered
included the 1-1 match against Stranraer and the Accies Challenge cup
semi-final. |
|
The "Ochilview" Medal for Worst Away Performance |
|
Dundee 2
Saints 1
(24 Votes)
(0-4 v Ross County) |
The game where Scotsport
condoned cheating as the tempestuous affair at Dens saw 10-man Saints
have their keeper stretchered off and go down to the softest dive we've
ever seen. Even the sight of them floundering near bankruptcy and
relegation late on in the season wasn't enough to take the bad feeling
away from this one.
Second place went to another bad-tempered game with the defeat at
Airdrie on Hogmanay with the earlier 3-1 loss to the men from Broomfield
in 3rd. Also mentioned were the defeats at County, Palmerston and the
goalless draw at Love St. On the plus side at least we didn't have too
many to pick from this year! |
|
The "Who Needs a Striker Now?" Certificate for Goal

Goran Stanic v Accies
(43 Votes)
(Stephen Dobbie v Partick) |
By far the biggest winning
margin this year, and Goran's 340-yarder (well it seems like it now as
the goal moves into legend!) rounded off a fantastic 5-1 win over
Accies.
Nothing came close to rivalling this one, but there were other mentions
with Jason's debut goal at Broomfield, Dobbie's neat shot at Accies and
Glennon's goal at Dingwall amongst the others nominated. |
|
The "Craig Brown Selection" Medallion for Save of the
Season |
|
Kevin Cuthbert at Love Street
(33 Votes)
(Allan McGregor v Accies) |
The first game at Love
Street finished goalless and the man to thank for that was the Cat. Now
this category doesnt usually get actual saves mentioned, more
goalkeeping performances but the double-save from Sutton to snatch a
point for us stuck in the minds all season - be interesting to see if
its enough to get the no1 jersey for 2006-07.
Other mentions went to Glennons save off Malones free kick and "Glennon
saving a point by scoring at Dingwall" which stretches the rules a
bit. Oh aye and 5 votes for a Mr K Jack formerly resident of Dens, who
is obviously considered an honorary Saintee these days. |

Not
winning the title
(25 Votes)
(John Connolly) |
Says it all really with the
good form shown for most of the season not getting the reward many
thought it deserved. Second place went to losing to Gretna in the cup
while 3rd was "too many draws" which ironically contributed
most to the winner.
Other nominations went to individual players like Mark Campbell, Dobbie
and Henry while the lack of youths breaking into the team also came in
for flak as did Dundee's ability to survive (financially and in the
league).
On a more serious note there was one vote for losing Drew Rutherford
which to my mind puts the rest into a very star perspective. |

(15 Votes)
(Dundee Relegated) |
Oh how we laughed as T&T's
favourite goalie's cracking blunder gifted us a win at Dens (and
surprise, surprise as Cilla would say, there's a lot more to come from
him yet). Joint 2nd place with 11 votes was beating Scumdee and beating
St Mirren in the last game - makes a change to see this category
reflecting victories on the park rather than gloating over others.
Other nominations (and there were plenty of them) included the
improvement in form, the 208 night for Drew Rutherford, "Operation
Kernaghan", Dundee losing 7-0, Dundee being pish, finishing above
Dundee (OK so maybe a bit of gloating), the OF domination broken in the
SPL, Jason at the World Cup and for the easily satisfied "names on
the Saints away strip". |

(16 Votes)
(Falkirk) |
It's fair to point out that
the winners this time weren't for entertainment on the park so much as
the financial shenanigans off the park as this seasons "gonnae go
straight back up" candidates had a sharp wake-up call. In order of
votes the other nominations were Accies, Ross County, St Mirren, Clyde,
PArtick, Airdrie, Brechin, Gretna, Stranraer and Raith Rovers. |
|
The "Boghead Drainage System" Memorial Award for Best

(15 Votes)
(Victoria Park) |
25% of the votes went to
the gardener-friendly Beech hedges of Brechin ("Mon the hedge"
as it was phrased!) with the home-made soup coming in for praise as
well. Second place went to Love Street with Palmerston in third, and
Accies New Douglas Park fourth. Votes also for Dens, Dingwall (well down
on last year possibly due to the less-than-memorable visits this
campaign), Cowdenbeath, Broomfield and Broadwood.
...nobody liked Stranraer...... |

Form
(19 Votes)
(Partick Relegated) |
For a change it wasn't the
Division One glories that attracted the most praise but the Tynecastle
Revolution which saw them split the OF for the first time since Oweny
was a wee boy and Chic actually went to Love St regularly.
Back to a more normal vote for 2nd place though and Livi's relegation
to a proper league won through (with one vote also for them getting the
lowest points ever and removing that record from Saints). The OF split
was voted for separately and in fourth place was Walter Smith and
Scotland showing some promise (just a bit too late to prevent the
Ingerlund dominated media fest we're currently enjoying in Germany).
Selected other nominations went to Saints signing Jason Scotland, the
Kirin Cup win, T&T at the World Cup, Dundee getting their
comeuppance and Kelvin Jack (with the latter trying to go for the award
for nomination in most categories!) |
|
The "Sacking of Totten AntiChrist" Award for the
Worst Thing to Happen to Scottish Football |
|
Gretna
(19 Votes)
(Old Firm) |
A combination of jealousy
over them making Europe and purchasing another title sees Brookes
Borderers win this category which might put an interesting slant on the
4 encounters we'll have with them next season.
Second place and well behind was the Potential SPL2 reconstruction
which was met with the common sense disdain it deserves while in 3rd was
St Midden's promotion (a wee hint of jealousy perhaps).
Plenty of other nominations as well including UEFA not fining / banning
Rangers, the ubiquitous OF Still here, Roy Keane, Vladimir Romanov,
Scumdee surviving bankruptcy again, TFOD doing well in Europe and the
general decline. |

The "Rolf Harris" Grammy for Song/Chant of the season |

Tiny

(8 Votes)
("Sweet Caroline") |
More than a few nominations
here but the new managerial theme tune wins through wth Sweet Caroline
dropping out. Other entries in the chart included a new one in 2nd place
for that man again with "Kelvin, Kelvin, gies a waive" while
another one-off was in 3rd place with the Firhill favourite "We
always score 4 goals"
Others included "Same old Savo", "We hate Dundee", "My
Garden Shed is bigger than this", "Are you Celtic in disguise"
from Broadwood with the most warped suggestion being "Anything
sung by Malone or Riordan" which says a lot more about the
voter than I ever could. |

Stuart
Dougal
(15 Votes)
(Willie Young) |
Proof that miracles do
happen as ole "Saintee-hater" himself wins though from John
Underhill in 2nd place and "None of them" in 3rd. Other
nominations included Alan Freeland, Kevin Toner, Wullie Young (and yes
the entry did point out they knew he was retired!), Craig Thomson and
Kenny Clark with Mr Mackay and Mr Frickleton not mentioned.
Weirdest nomination went to "Anyone who pisses of that clown
that sits at the back of the East Stand"! |
|
The "Aw no him" Award for Worst Ref of the Season |
|
Craig
Mackay
(16 Votes)
(Charlie Richmond) |
Another easy winner as his
performance in charge of the slaughter at the first game at Dens wins
through. Never mind the injuries we suffered but awarding that penalty
for cheating Lynch means we've got a new replacement for Stuart Dougal.
Second place was Ian Frickleton who ruled over the 3-2 defeat at
Palmerston while Iain Brines was a surprising entry at third despite
what I thought was an ok performance in the Gretna game.
Not too many other names with McDonald, Freeland, Dougal, Richmond,
Winter and Conroy all in the frame. Best vote though was for Hugh Dallas
("I know he's retired but he's still shite") |
|
The "Fergus hates Farry" Medal for Most Loathed

Old Firm
(11 Votes)
(Old Firm) |
The narrowest of wins for
the Bigot Bros as they come through by one vote from Gretna (and we
didn't even get the chance to face them in the cup this year).
Elsewhere we had Dundee in 3rd place with the SPL in 4th. Plenty of
interesting nominees though including Brookes Mileson, Rowan Alexander,
Jim Traynor, QoS (!), Simon Lynch (understandable), Neil McCann (not so
understandable), Paul Lovering, Andy Millen and Billy Reid.
Closer to home we had a vote for Owen Coyle which stinks of a ringer
but additional votes for both the Saints board and Stewart Duff
reflecting some strong feelings. |

Goran Stanic

(Peaso) |
Almost half the votes
clinched this one by a mile for our favourite Macedonian who showed the
consistency and fitness to put some of the younger members of the squad
to shame over the season (and scoring a cracking goal helped as well).
Second place went to Jason Scotland with 10 votes, one vote in front of
Kevin Rutkiewicz while others nominated were Sheridan, James, Mensing
and a single vote for Sheerin. The real surprise being the small range
of names mentioned - no nominations for the likes of Savo, Dobbie,
Stevenson, Anderson or either goalie. |
|
The "Andy Brannigan Understudy" Award for Worst

John Henry
(15 Votes)
(Paul Sheerin) |
A comfortable victory for
one of Owens pals whose impact at midfield didn't exactly set the
heather on fire (or even warm it up slightly). Still he's away now so no
point in going overboard.
Second place with 11 votes was Steven Anderson with inconsistency and a
delay in signing a new deal polarising opinion on oor Pamela. Elsewhere
and we had votes for Stephen Dobbie, Mark Campbell, Mensing, Hannah,
Rutkiewicz, Savo, Owen Coyle, Ryan McCann, Neil Janczyk and Ryan
Stevenson - still at least some of the more popular ones have left
(whatever happened to Mark Paston!?!) |
|
The "Vinny Arkins £5m In A Few Years" Award for
the Most Improved Saints Player This Season |
|
Kevin Rutkiewicz
(28 Votes)
(Steven Anderson) |
Another resurrection as
Rustybitz form and loyalty wins through. For a player on his way out and
looking so far out the picture you'd need a zoom lens to even spot him,
the return to the fray at Firhill in place of the suspended Mark
Campbell marked the start of a wonderful season for the defender and saw
him first choice by Xmas and get a new contract at the end.
Second place with 22 votes was Sheerinho as well as the midfielder
regained his place in the team after a poor start and waded in with
goals galore during the campaign. Other votes went to Mensing,
Stevenson, Cuthbert, Dyer and Anderson. |
|
The "Fat Keepers Memorial Rolex" Award for the Best

Owen Coyle
(20 Votes)
(Jim Weir) |
In a surprising turnup for
the books Jim Weir's domination of this award is finally ended as the
new manager's PR skills and ability to talk the club up wins him plenty
of votes. Jim Weir was forced into 3rd place with skipper Kevin James in
second.
Other nominations went to Jason, Sheerin (for that interview he did),
Kevin Rutkiewicz, Goran Stanic, Steve Brown and a couple of votes simply
for the fans.
Stewart Duff wasn't nominated again..... |
|
The "Marble Staircase Story Revisited (Again)" Award
for the Biggest Embarrassment for Saints |
|
Mark Campbell
(9 Votes)
(John Connolly) |
Plenty of nominations to
get through but again another of Owens pals gets the nod by a single
vote over "Losing to Gretna". Still he's away as well so let's
carry on with the others nominated.
In third place was Stephen Dobbie (a man who has a lot to prove next
season) with other nominations for Steven Anderson, David Hannah, Losing
to St Mirren / Dundee, Kevin James own goal at Palmerston, John Henry
and Owen Coyle for "hassling referees instead of getting on
wtih the game"
On a more serious note we had a lot of flak for the board with votes
about the Inverness 22 as they're known and the deterioration in the
relationship with the fans. But on the other side we also had a vote for
""Those 22 idiots getting themselves banned and then
whining endlessly on about it as if they're angels and the rest of us
are supposed to be remotely bothered " which seems to hint at a
difference of opinion.
Two strange votes - one for "our pitch" and another
for "The clown who sits at the back of the East stand and
abuses every single linesman" |

spell-checkers by conveniently getting a decent nickname early on.
Second place went to the similarly named Rustybitz while other votes
went for Le Freak, Gordon fae Letham, Wizard, Scrappy Doo, Gunther,
Dobbin, Savo, Pamela, Mad Mental Martin and The bulldog. |

Aw come on, what did you
expect it was going to be? Yup the butter-fingers moment of the season
wins by a mile as Kelvin's generosity in gifting a goal to Saints wins
over half the vote and entry into the role of Honorary Saintees
Second place went to Matt Glennon's goal at Dingwall with Dundee's
title challenge in 3rd with 4 votes. Others nominated included Mensing's
fluke goal against Raith, OF excuses for bigotry, Dundee losing 7-0,
Livi's relegation, Bobby Mann's own goal and surreal vote for "Dobbie
wearing a Pink Panther head" |
|
The "Fererro Rocher 'With These Players You Are Spoiling

Glennon,
Mensing, Rutkiewicz, James, Stanic, Stevenson, Sheridan, Hardie,
Sheerin, Scotland, Milne
(Cuthbert, Baxter, Dyer, McCann, Anderson, James, Stevenson, Sheerin,
Peaso, Dobbie, Coyle) |
The orthodox 4-4-2
formation wins through. Matt Glennon gets the nod over the Cat in most
selections with the defence fairly consistent although Mensing is
occasionally replaced by Anderson in some vores. Up front Scotland is
the striker of choice with Savo in partnership although there are some
votes for Dobbie / Peaso.
Midfield has the most controversy with Stevenson in a lot of selections
but just as many saying "a decent right winger".
Sheridan, Hardie and Sheerin were popular choices but some votes went
for Scotland dropping back to the hole and the introduction of the
Mooner with Johnny Black the other nominee. |

Reilly, Colin Marshall, David Hannah, Andy Millen, (you might spot a
pattern there), Lee Wilkie, Eddie Malone, Mehmet, Wake, Tam McManus,
Gerry Britton and "the Brechin defence". Well at least

votes going to Forth One, Talksport, Sky, Radio 5 Live and Clyde FM. Oh

fans, more community involvement, "Sack Stewart Duff", "Sack
the board", foreign players, selling the strips in the club
shop, dumping Rock Steady and interestingly enough "Stop

Interestingly enough most of the suggestions point to activities off

Oh Christ, you know what
they say about pride coming before a fall?!?!?!?!?!
To the league first and despite what looks like being the tightest
division in decades, 3/4s of the votes say our name's on the trophy this
year, with only one person daring to suggest a finish below 3rd (and
even they went for 4th).
The League Cup is a bit more realistic - only two folk expect us to win
with the majority going for a 4th round departure.
As for the Scottish Cup, past performance seems to stick in the mind
and a one-game appearance expected for 2006-07 although one deluded soul
expects us to win it.
At least there's a bit more reason to be optimistic about the Challenge
Cup and 3/4s expect a trip to the final with 28 folk looking for a
trophy at ther end of it. only one person expects our involvement to end
at the start of August. |
