Frank Sinatra once sung of Strangers in the Night. It’s a beautiful song. Now, a little known secret, this song was not written about love at first sight, but actually about the Saints back line playing like they’ve never met each other since the international break. But strangers can become friends, and Sam and Dan were once strangers, but now they’re the best of pals leading you into Episode 36 of Dogger Saints: An Unofficial St Johnstone Podcast!
We dissect Saturday’s dogged defeat to Celtic and from that try to answer the two big questions - where do Saints go from here, and what the fuck is wrong with Celtic fans?
We catch up with journalist Ed Hodge, the author of Our Day in May and the recently released Make Mine a Double, for a fantastic chat as we discuss following Saints, penning the story of a season on a deadline, balancing football with his work in golf, and much more.
After all this football chat, on a football podcast of all things, we know what you want...features! And boy we got loads for you! Romance is in the Royal air, the Club Shop of Shame takes us to the city of love, we get the juggling balls and curly wigs out for a trip to the circus in Theme Team, and a very special Alphabet There sees us pay homage to a bona fide Saints great.
Celebrity spotting with Dan! Sam on Tipping Point! A midweeker against Hearts and a Tayside trip to Thomas Courts’s Dundee United! We’ve got it all here, so get yourselves involved, join the boys and have a bloody lovely old time. Get there!
