Thu 06 May |
| After the joy and jubilation of lifting the trophy against Raith Rovers, there was still the minor matter of the final league game against Inverness Caley Thistle to be dealt with. A chance for a final win in the Highlands? Er, maybe not! |
|
|
Thu 29 Apr |
| Ten years ago, one of the most remarkable and dramatic seasons in St. Mirren's history reached it's climax. Beat Raith Rovers at Love Street, and the 1999/2000 first division title was ours. |
|
|
Thu 22 Apr |
| If there's one game that I'll always remember from our glorious championship season, it's this one. With the scores level deep into stoppage time at Ayr United, Paul McKnight struck again to make all our dreams come true - or so we thought. |
|
|
Thu 15 Apr |
| After the terrific win over Falkirk, it was on to face a Livingston side still pushing for a place in the promotion play-offs. By the end of the afternoon, their hopes were all but over as Saints moved three points closer to the promised land. |
|
|
Thu 08 Apr |
| The more things change, the more things stay the same. A decade ago we faced Falkirk in a crucial game, but this time both clubs were bidding to win the first division rather than avoid dropping out of the top flight. |
|
|
Thu 01 Apr |
| Ten years ago we usually made at least one late deadline day signing. Before the game against Airdrie we brought in no less than three new players, but it was someone who'd been with the club slightly longer who made the difference at New Broomfield |
|
|
Thu 25 Mar |
| So, you thought messing up when we're clear favourites was a new thing? A game against Clydebank 10 years ago proves otherwise. After hammering them 8-0, we struggled to a 0-0 draw a fortnight later - while wearing Morton shirts. |
|
|
Thu 18 Mar |
| Incredibly, it's 10 years to the day since we last faced Morton in a league game - and it was two players who loved scoring at Cappielow that helped us to three crucial points that moved us ever closer to the Holy Grail. |
|
|
Thu 11 Mar |
| After the disappointment of the result and performance against Dunfermline, the media seemed delighted that our bubble finally appeared to have burst. Fortunately, against Clydebank we proved it was as inflated as ever. |
|
|
Thu 04 Mar |
| After taking four points from two trips to Fife, we welcomed one of the kingdom's teams to Love Street. The game against Dunfermline was a chance to all but finish off their title chances - but we blew it. |
|
|
Fri 26 Feb |
| In May 1999, Manchester United provided one of the most remarkable endings to a football game you'll ever see to snatch the European Cup. Less than 12 months later, Saints performed an even more incredible escape job. |
|
|
Fri 19 Feb |
| When we last played Dunfermline at East End Park, we dominated the game but only picked up a point. This time it was the other way around - we were played off the park but clung on for a draw. |
|
|
Fri 12 Feb |
| After a dodgy patch of form, normal business was resumed at Love Street by beating Inverness Caley Thistle. As they'd just gone ballistic against Celtic, this result meant we were better than the Parkhead outfit! |
|
|
Fri 05 Feb |
| After an encouraging draw against SPL basement boys Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup, spirits were high ahead of a game against Livingston at Love Street. It wasn't to last. |
|
|
Fri 22 Jan |
| When Saints are on a dodgy run of form, the last place you wanted was a trip to bogey ground Brockville. Sadly, that's what happened in January 2000 and the inevitable defeat followed. |
|
|
Fri 08 Jan |
| It's fair to say Junior Mendes likes scoring against Airdrie. He once scored a hat-trick against them and before this game his only goal of the season had been scored against the Diamonds. By the end of it he'd taken his tally to three! |
|
|
Sun 03 Jan |
| To celebrate the start of a new millennium, Saints decided to invite the neighbours round for some fun at Love Street. Sadly, not for the first time, Paul Hartley managed to ruin the mood of most Buddies. |
|
|
Fri 18 Dec |
| As the second round of fixtures began, we suffered a feeling we hadn't had to endure for other two months as our last game of the year against Ayr United saw us end up with nothing. |
|
|
Fri 11 Dec |
| It had to happen sooner or later. After eight games and nearly two months of victories, a day where we didn't take all three points was surely just around the corner. Eventually, it was Inverness Caley who halted us with a draw. |
|
|
Fri 04 Dec |
| Saints entered new ground with this narrow win over title challengers Falkirk as the victory was our eighth league success on the trot - a new club record. |
|
|
Fri 27 Nov |
| Another Saturday, another win as the Saints juggernaut continued on a seemingly unstoppable route to the promised land of the SPL. However, we had keeper Ludovic Roy to thank for a fine second half display in goal at Livingston. |
|
|
Fri 20 Nov |
| It doesn't matter what form or division Saints are in, we have nearly always struggled when we are favourites to win a match. So it proved when we took on Clydebank at Love Street. |
|
|
Thu 12 Nov |
| As I've grown older, I've learnt to appreciate and enjoy a good Friday night out in a variety of places. However, I can safely say I've only had one such night in Airdrie - and it was all thanks to Saints. |
|
|
Fri 06 Nov |
| Making up for past injustices was quickly becoming a habit for Tom Hendrie's swashbuckling team. After writing wrongs against Raith Rovers and Airdrie, it was time for Morton to get their comeuppance. |
|
|
Fri 30 Oct |
| Going into this game against Dunfermline we were a few points ahead of the Pars at the top of the league. Despite that, their manager Dick Campbell seemed to think his side was far superior to ours. We soon showed him. |
