Ambrose looked sub league 2 standard on Saturday. I just cannot see how we can continue with him as he looks well off the standard required. Nisbet looked okay with Gueye earlier in the season and scored goals previously in this league for us. Until we get a replacement in think we have to stick with Nisbet.

Halbeath is about hours walk from Dunfermline. Do not think there is a bus that gets you there in time for first bus but probably the second. Games should be at times it is easy for fans to travel to not one that requires leaving the house at 6 in the morning. I will probably just head up on Saturday and visit/freeload on in laws and stay over.

Public transport options are not great. Only one train from Edinburgh that arrives at 1147 that Pars fans would need to get to Kirkcaldy to pick up. No direct bus either to Aberdeen from Dunfermline but by changing and walking to Halbeath there is one bus that arrives on time. No train from Glasgow or Inverness line gets you on in time for kick off.

TV picks for 5th round sadly includes a half 12 kick off on a Sunday.

A few?

Didn’t think we played particularly well last Saturday but hopefully win will have lifted the confidence of the players. Would assume Gueye will start and Ambrose to be replaced by Nisbet. Hopefully Keskinen is fit and can start. St Mirren are big physical side so if MacKenzie is fit I would be tempted to play him at left back and move Jensen into midfield to provide a bit more strength and pace. Still not not sure if going up yet. Hopefully the worst weather will be through and doesn’t affect the game yet. 1-1 Gueye

From what my Sunderland supporting mate says probably a lucky escape. Been shite for them.

You have clearly forgotten as it still makes me shake with rage.

7 days since a signing what are these lazy bastards in the recruitment team are up to.

Have to be happy with home draw against lower league opposition.

Think Hibs will beat Ayr but Hearts could well be in the shite.

Full draw

I was meaning that neither team is close to standard of opposition that we will be playing in qualifying so seems a bit pointless.

Two friendlies announced for June. Not sure what’s to be gained from games against Iceland and Lichtenstein.

From the highs of trips to Dinpro, Madrid and Munich to lows of losing cup game to Dunfermline, Queens Park and Queen of the South it was never dull following Dons under JC. Lost count of the number of times the words what the fuck were uttered when folk saw his team selections. Dementia is horrible disease and football needs to start looking after former players who are suffering from it. RIP Jimmy.

3 Dons players scored in this round. Morris and Duk for Dons and Adam Emslie scored for Cove where he is on loan.

Raith Rovers get past Falkirk 2-1 aet and Tribute Act beat Fraserburgh 5-0. Last tie is Dundee derby tonight and draw for next round is after that.

Even that angle it’s hard to tell if the whole of ball is completely over the line. It’s one of the rare occasions where I sympathise with the ref. Would not have been that upset if it hadn’t been awarded.

More dropped points for Barcelona after it finishes 1-1. Apparently Barcelona have not won in last 5 visits to Getafe.

Getafe v Barcelona on ITV4 just now. Getafe just equalised. 1-1 with 35 minutes gone.

Today’s 4th round result for 3pm kick offs. No real shocks. County losing to Livingston maybe counts as one but given Livingston were top flight team last season it’s a stretch.

Ambrose? Probably about his level I suppose.

Decent game between Adelaide and Melbourne Victory. Currently 3-2 with 15 minutes left.

Jambo cunts through after a bit of a fright in 1st half.
