Played well in first half and probably deserved to be ahead at half time. Second half we sat too deep and gave them too much space. Felt a goal was coming for them. Stewart sold the jerseys with a ridiculous challenge. No question it was a red card. Hopefully means he is suspended for Wednesday. Won’t happen but Goodwin has chance now to strip the Captaincy from Stewart and give it to Shinnie.

Team as I was expecting/

The thought of Taylor and Stewart in the same team…….

I think we need another striker that is a different style to Lopes and Miovski. Give us a plan B if they are not working in certain games.

Jack Milne going out on loan. Getting short of centre backs at the club.

I would like to think we would bring in another striker if Ramierz was sold. Big risk to rely on a youngster as main back up.

Now 3-2 down and down to 10 men.

Running to weekend for some reason.

Semi final against Buckie Thistle is tonight. Buckie are doing a stream of match for £10 if anyone is bored enough. If anyone is can they keep me updated as I am at the pantomime tonight.

Assuming wasn’t getting enough game time at Cove. Not a great sign that he is progressing.

Clarkson is undoubtedly a good player but as yet not consistent (why he is with us) or physically strong enough to play at top level. Good luck to him if he does go to the Championship in England as he will get battered up and down the pitch down their as it is a very physical league.

He is and not sure we have offered him a deal so can leave for free.

Would guess some of those junior cup ties will have had some decent sized crowds as well. TIme before mass car ownership meant folk went to local games or so Big Al tells me.

Going to head to this despite the warnings about being in Ayrshire after dark.

Thought he might have robbed a wage from LAFC for at least another couple of seasons. Would have loved him if he was Scottish but he wasn’t and never forgiven him for pumping us single handed in Cardiff in 2012.

That’s him appointed. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64211118

0-1. Well worked goal by Barcelona. Spoiled by 3 minute wait for to decide if there had been a foul in the build up.

Been decent first 10 minutes. Barcelona in particular playing some nice football.

Won the penalty for the equaliser as well.

He’s probably on VAR.

Nick Walsh confirmed as referee for semi final. That should kill off any enthusiasm you have.

In case anyone missed it ITV4 showing Atletico Madrid v Barcelona tonight at 8pm.

Also no mention on McCrorie. Does that mean Goodwin does not see him as playing in midfield going forward?

Polvara needs to go on loan to get some experience of playing in adults football. We signed him staright from equivalent of a development league. Lad has no experience of playing full time football before now.
