Playing Charlton down in London on 29 July.

Don't usually bother with pre-season friendlies, but that one could be interesting.

Also going to Portugal for a week long training camp (Aberdeen are, not me). 

"More friendlies to be announced" - I imagine once the League Cup draw is made we can pick up teams who have a free date.

Robson was giving Morris game time towards the end of last season. Suspect he has always seen something in Morris. I still have no idea what though. 

A contract until 31st May 2026 😉

Seriously maybe, just maybe there is something there or was he just at his true level last night.

Same with Polvara.

Meant to ask did you get full refund on your Preston tickets or did they try to charge you an admin fee?

First half last night was a decent contest, second was rather farcical after Turra tired.

Made me think how difficult it must be to get defenders and keepers properly ready for the new season as we play only two testing games before Livi. Last night and against the Broch the defenders basically just walk about and we could probably manage without a goalie. Must be hard to get up to speed for the likes of Williams, Roos and co.

No sign of Anthony Stewart anywhere last night.

Full refund and it was surprisingly easy and quick as genuinely thought it would be a battle.

What about you ?

Allegedly still recovering from injury 🤔

Not done it yet as not officially cancelled and still living in denial.

Aye was training by himself when pre-season started. Don't think it was anything serious though so might make an appearance against the Broch.

Fuck that sounds like a threat 😂

I really want him to be a success. Seems a really decent bloke. Was just never captain material - the more you think about it the more it becomes such a bizarre decision by Goodwin.

Get him in against the Broch.

 

Goals from last night. 

Have to say, from what I could see, Ngenwya (sp) impressed, likewise morris. Was a decent finish. Sokler (oddly autocorrect says dollar) had some good finishes regardless of opposition. Interested to see how we fare against stronger opposition. 

That’s my train officially cancelled for 22nd. Refund has been processed. Avanti are apparently confirming which trains are running at some point today but have said there will be some trains between Glasgow and Preston. 

Cannot remember if it’s been posted already and too lazy to check but there is a live stream for today’s game for those who cannot attend.

£8 🤔

Worth a look me thinks 

 

Pretty decent looking quality of picture

Expect a closer game than Wednesday evening

COYR

is the stream worth 8 quid?

Highly debateable.

For first six or seven minutes the camera man must have been having a serious shite as the camera never moved at all.

Regarding the game, hope to fuck next weekend's game is a bit better than this one has been so far 

Alfie 1-0

STEWART'S BACK IN RED 😉

Sokler 2-0 (PEN)

A win is a win I guess.

At no time did it look like we could repeat Wednesday's scoring exploits.

Liked the look of Marshall, Polvara strolled it during his 45 minutes, Morris has pace to burn just needs to learn some more football basics, Bavidge gets a goal which won't do his confidence any harm and a defence that had Stewart & Richardson as part of it kept a clean sheet.

Worrying that Williams didn't appear as a half time sub. Fucking hope he's not injured as well as MacDonald.

Credit to The Broch who kept going to the end and never looked like getting a serious doing,

Apart from that, not much to add but hoping for a tad more excitement a week today at Preston.

Defence not looking too clever without MacDonald or Williams.

Interesting (perhaps not that big a surprise though) that Milne preferred over Stewart.

Morris definitely being given a chance to impress. Sokler picked over Miovski. No Duk in squad.

 

Not seen the Preston team yet so dunno if Calvin Ramsay is starting.

Game is being streamed by Preston. £5 which is pretty good value.

 

Ramsay on the bench.

Freddie Woodman - once on loan at us - starts.

Ben Woodburn (ex-Hearts), Ali McCann (ex-St Johnstone) and Liam Lindsay (ex-Partick) also start.
