Stick this in here. For quarter final Gyamfi (whatever happened to him), Keskinen, Milanovic and Palaversa are all one yellow card away from a suspension in the cup. Yellow cards are zeroed after the quarter finals.

If it’s deemed serious foul play or violent conduct then it’s automatic ban for next game irrespective of the competition then next game in the competition the that the card was recieved in. So I would think Geiger will miss the Dundee league game and then the Dunfermline Cup game and Shinnie will be suspended for Dundee league game As an aside trying to find the list of suspended players is a right pain in the arse these days. SFA used to publish a list weekly but guessing it must be something they put on the player registration system these days.

According to Pars fans they would expect us to get the East Stand (usual away stand behind the goal) and half the North Stand (one opposite Main Stand) to start with which is roughly 4,400 tickets. Think that should be enough with the game live on TV.

Basically what Orlando said.

Glad to have called this one wrong. Carried a bit of luck but take it.

Sadly lost 3-1.

How many yellow cards is that?

I would say not getting the Leicester gig is dodging a bullet as they have just been docked points under financial fair play rules and likely to be having to reduce costs for the next while.

Adidas strip deal is up at the end of this season. I like adidas gear in general so would not be against extending with them again.

Previous games against Motherwell felt we were always in it (admittedly out my tits on morphine for one) and maybe unlucky not to get more from them than we did. Sunday never felt we were winning at any stage. While we created some half chances and Olusanya hit the post I don’t remember Ward making a save and Motherwell were in control. I think we are now further behind Motherwell than we were before January window. Really hope I am wrong but I cannot see us getting through tonight.

Thought Sunday was more comfortable for Motherwell than the previous games against us and struggling to see what we can do to change that. Milne is free from suspension so would expect to see him coming in for Morrison who has looked well below required standard. Olusanya did not impress again on Sunday. He does not offer much going forward and left us exposed defensively on the right side so would look to drop him. However not sure who replaces him as don’t think Milanovic has looked good enough and Bilalovic gives the same problem defensively. Not sure what Lobban has done but he has not featured since Thelin departed. Thought he looked our best option at right back this season. Was not as impressed with the new keeper as others seem to have been as don’t remember him coming for many crosses and he seems to have a habit of pushing shots into the middle of the goal. I would be instructing my strikers to follow shots in just in case he does it again. Thankfully work means missing this again but will be home in time to watch on TV. Pretty sure our cup defence ends tonight. Oot Work Couch Couch 2-0 no Dons scorer

Despite being down to 10 Arabs beat Spartans 2-1 to progress to next round.
