First team games for preseason:

Saturday 27th June v Cove Rangers FC, Balmoral Stadium, KO 2pm

Saturday 4th  July v FC Twente FC, Sportcomplex GFC, KO 2.00pm (local time)

Potentially another game on the 11th plus  couple of close door games. 

1-0

Lyons the scorer

Stream froze before the goal🤷‍♂️

Missed the goal because the of the feed.

Lyon's wearing the armband despite Devlin listed as captain?

Preseason and a friendly, but good to see afeez looking a lot sharper and fitter. Good start from yogane too.

Olusanya off the bar after good work from Nesbit.

I’d say we’ve created half a dozen good chances so far, free header from lyons at the corner should have been better. We look quite good, or are Linfield shite?

They are playing a weakened team as they have the second leg of a European qualifier coming up mid week

A bit of both. It looks like Linfield have made 10 changes from Thursday night so I don't think they're at full strength.

But, the only debate is how many points we're winning the league by this season.

2-0

Dylan Lobban

Want to share champions league dates for next season?

Two up now. Considering we play Tuesday I guess not a bad run out so far.

Decent showing in first half but looks more like a training session. Yogane is roasting the FB, Lyons and Ronan getting into good attacking positions, Aremu strolling midfield. Nisbet position good but lacking in sharpness with ball at his feet. Olusanya doing Olusanyay stuff.

Happy with that so far. Moved the ball well, aggressive on and off it and new signings getting involved. Looking forward to heading up to Brora now which is not a sentence I ever expected to say.

Did the crowd think it’s a 3pm KO?

Why no Briedl in the squad? Looking forward to seeing Mouloua. Pinning my hopes on him this season

Decent half against shall we say limited opposition.

Good press

Good movement

Crisp passing

Decent on the break

Yogane has looked good. Get someone to complement him on the right that’ll be an effective threat.

Oh Lasagne misses a sitter

What’s not to like…

Couldn't have summarised it any better

Linfield left back is going to be having nightmares about Yogane tonight

Sitter? He hit the bar on one and keeper had a good save on another. Closer than last week.

At times it looks like we essentially go into a three at the back, Lobban pushes forward as a winger, Olysanya moves central and we essentially play a 3-1-4-2 which is overwhelming Linfield.

Towards the end of the half it looked more of a 4-4-2 out of possession with Ronan playing as a forward and Olusanya moving wide.

Think the whole stereotype that Robinson will play boring unattractive football is misplaced. He's clearly trying to get the wingers involved and generally have two players attacking the box. Can see Lyons scoring a few this season.

Linfield are really poor though. Expecting a tougher test v Brora tbh.

Would like to see yogane given a run on the right, with Guinness on the left, but at the same time like that yogane does go on the outside on the left.

Hoping to see our new Moroccan second half!

Just the one change at half time

Frame for Yogane

Notable that it's youth Robinson has gone for with the cm midfield changes and not Palaversa.

Kind of feel it is all a bit flat and boring in the second half tbh.

All a little flat and blah. Would have been nice to score a few more, we’ve certainly missed chances.

Stream finally kicked in just in time to see Olusanya's stunning overhead kick smash in off the flying pig

think this heat is getting to both me and the laptop
