I've watched so many clips and seen so many memes. Honestly, it's been a great week. The misery about their own shitehole vs the national shitehole, then not filling it because its a shitehole and hard to get to. Irony is as expected, lost on them Should remind them of this when we next play there. They don't deserve half the ground.

The traditional single thread, now officially Rico approved given we're out of the league stages for this weekends game against Queens Park. I don't think their name will ever not given me the fear from all those years ago. Still blame some of the Globe Reds for convincing me it was a good idea to go after work ! They scored plenty during their league cup mini league, so goals aren't an issue. They have dried up a wee bit since they started their league campaign though, although maybe a bit harsh given they've played one of the favourites and Livi in their first two games. I'm expecting nothing but professionalism here and tbh just want us to progress. Interested to see if either of the recent new signings make an appearance or we stick with the winning team. I'd hope with the latter and phase them in accordingly. Given it's at home, we probably have a bit more leeway than playing away. Regardless, i'm excited to see what they can bring. Any idea on ticket sales for this one? Out Bed Bed (hopefully) Snowboarding (hopefully) 2-0, Shinnie and Mackenzie

Issue I’ve found with dhgate (not the new away) is that they seem to not have the badge?!? I can’t afford the postage let alone the shirts themselves on the official site so this is what I’ll be going for. Aiming for the kids full ones. They seem grand. the site got taken down at the time of the euros and seems like they’ve lost some of the quality they had.

Topi Don!

Really hope you're both right, and I think it's absolutely fair to say it would be weighing on him. But it is his role to take. He needs to grab it as we can't afford to have a misfiring no.9 when the subs aren't all that or ready either. Fingers crossed the helpful run we have, helps him build the confidence levels.

Sums it up well, Reekie. So sounds like a few others are coming round to my thoughts that sokler isn’t going to be up to it. It’s hard for him that we’re comparing him to Miovski rather than say, Duk, but that’s his job. He needs to step up. The good thing is, is that McGrath knows where the goal is and we’re actually scoring across the team, so buying him time. I’d rather we get someone else in though.

Desperately trying not to get excited by this guy. When I see the scarf above the head shot, then I’ll start believing! id still be peeved at £4m for miovski, but aye, as long as the sell on is mega, then so be it. He grabs the likes of Reals attention and who knows

Be interesting to see how the saints cope after their European qualifier this week. Didn’t have any impact on them last week, but the team were considerably shiter and valur weren’t that flash either. Regardless, saints come into this fixture with decent confidence, likewise we should have taken plenty of heart from the majority of our performance on Monday. Molloy was unlucky with his own goal and we really shouldn’t have conceded nor made Monday as nervy as it was. Any news on sokler? Wonder if Miovski will be gone as is rumoured. The subs may be key here, but that’s another concern in itself. Scoring early too as saints seemed to go up another gear after half time on the weekend. injuries permitting, can’t see much of a change to the first XI. out bed bed work 2-1 dons, think we might sneak this one. Shinnie and McGrath

Definitely slower than other places but hey ho definitely positives for it

Wouldn’t begrudge him, but think a year under a competent manager wouldn’t do him (or us) any harm at all.

A loan would do him good. Feels like we need to manage him carefully to ensure he doesn’t go the way of shankland and anderson etc when they were with us. 6 month loan to see how he goes in the championship would be ideal. Definitely not done anything wrong so far but he’s still very young.

I figured this is what you meant and agree.

Amazed that they did this, especially given his record appears to be worse than Beales? But I guess he’s won a cup?

@tom_widdows will you be doing this seasons one?

Pleased for the saints. Killie mate was raging at their result, complete fuck up from McInnes in his eyes. Wrong line up, winnable tie and didn’t lay a glove. Sounds very familiar

I’m guessing this’ll be the same starting XI as the Dumbarton game providing there’ve been no injuries since. Keep forgetting we’re playing after the weekend though! No idea what to expect from this. The cup games whilst competitive, didn’t provide a high level of opposition, but u know there are swings and roundabouts to that. JT was able to test a couple of things. Really had hoped we would have a new striker by now though.

Will sort that out

I’ll bloody take that, but was 4 no? Anyway, I’ll restate that I want to see mcgarry played at LW. Granted I only saw the highlights, but he’s always been better going forward. He’s a confidence player and I hope it gives him the confidence he needs to show what he can do. anyway, onward and upwards, good to see sokler bag another brace. Still feel we need another forward and a right sided winger.

Daugava we’re done for match fixing weren’t they?

I’d happily see them lose and drop down into the conference league qualifiers

Was great seeing the turnaround after the first half of pish against Airdrie. In theory this should be an easier task but nevertheless I think Thelin will take his professional approach. Another few days of being under his stewardship, the players should have a bit more of an understanding as to what he’s trying to achieve. It is concerning that it took miovski coming on to turn it around though as Sokler didn’t seem up to it, but he should have the confidence from his first game or two. Really hope that if we are to lose miovski it’s sooner rather than later as we’ll need to unearth someone better than sokler. anyway, they’ve lost all their games, albeit they were unlucky against airdrie but we should win this comfortably. out bed bed day of birthday parties 3-0, Rubi, Shinnie , sokler

I would actually like to see us try McGarry on the wing. He was always better going forward than defending (hence why I was surprised we got him as a defender anyway). This would free up space for Hancock.

Hope so, i'm sure he was as disappointed as we were with his season last time out. No doubt there's a player there.
