  1. Na, the ref is bound to the rules. Bit of stupidity from McManus.
    I think the rule is to protect sponsorship and stop players hiding the sponsor at the moments when they are l most likely to be filmed and photographed rather than anything crowd related.

    That and ‘elf n’ safety. And there was that time when a player had to make a blind (literally) tackle with his shirt covering his face. Just come up with a celebration that doesn’t involve getting a needless booking. Pretty partial to a Ross Jack finger, or a Higgie knee slide myself.
  2. Tested on East Fife friendly which was fine (apart from wind noise - which is being rectified), but that obviously didn't test infrastructure at East End. The previous week will have tested that. Just hope that once we have 10,000 logging in it doesn't break it ;-)

    They tested it on an archive game and it seemed to go fine, but we haven't actually had any games yet where it can be tested live.
  3. I meant Caley Thistle TV.  I imagine it's a capacity issue for us as well.  I'd probably be interested in signing up for this game but if it's more than £12, I'm out.
    Match experience not the same but £10-£20 vs £50-£70 I can quite easily spend on an away fixture is not a biggie. Think putting money into the away fixtures with PPV is important to prevent clubs going to the wall. I'll be "attending" them all whereas I'd normally pick and choose. Its not like there a million other options for you on a Saturday afternoon currently either. TV on, feet up, beer in hand and not out in the freezing cauld. Whats not tae like?
  4. Falkirk should have a had a penalty, Keena should have scored, if either one of those happened the second half would’ve been completely different.

    We might have been awarded our goal we might have not have so many dodgy offside decisions given against us, your auntie might have had balls...

    Maybe if you’d defended better in the second half it would’ve been completely different...

  5. Maybe because 1. They can afford it, 2. It will provide early intelligence on how it spreads in football playing environment. All the more reason that their players should have been avoiding pubs and not going abroad.

    So the understanding is that government guidelines state outdoor contact sports up to 30 people on a pitch don’t have to be tested so leagues below the Premiership don’t have to test.
    Why are Premiership teams still being made to test? 
    I understand some players are concerned they may be at risk but surly they are in the same position as anyone else who is working in a non-tested environment.
  6. If you're not a DAFC season ticket holder that sounds a good deal, puts a little money East Fife's way too. Although if you're holding off buying a season ticket this is the start of getting value back on it, as much as not being able to attend can offer! Anyone who digs up the "friendlies are a waste of time attending" chat hasn't been hurting enough not seeing the team play for six months. Obviously.

    The Pars play East Fife in a preseason friendly at Bayview kick off 2pm tomorrow.

  7. I heard he was done and dusted two weeks ago. Not heard anything from Crawford for about two weeks either or any updates since training re-started last week. Very unlike the Pars to be fair. Other clubs seem to have had pictures of pre-season training etc.
    Why get everyone excited about the season starting when realists know that we'll be back in full lock down next month?


  8. You mis-understood I think, my point was that they wouldn’t begin to support a Scottish lower league team because they’d choose to watch something more glamorous at 3pm on a Saturday and never build an affiliation to their local team.

    I agree with a lot of your points though, I’d pay to stream a game that I can’t attend due to work or family commitments so the club would earn more from people in my position, and yes, the core support won’t chose to stream rather than attend.

    But that’s because we all know how good it feels to attend a game..... which brings me neatly back to my main point, a lot of impressionable youngsters won’t get that first hit that hooks them and keeps them following lower league toilet football, instead they’ll be lost to being armchair Man City or Real Madrid fans.


    “That first hit that hooks them and keeps them”. Spoken like a former drug baron on pushing smack? Lots of parallels to draw there though [emoji6]
  9. Just finished watching that Epstein thing Dirty Money.
    If Maxwell can somehow avoid a similar fate as him, is her only hope of leniency a guts-spilling level of co-operation? In which case, major problem for Prince Andrew. 
    Fascinating that Epstein basically applied the model of his financial ponzi scheme into the sex trafficking. Once you were in that orbit you were incentivised to get others involved and keep your mouth shut.
    Shut?
  10. I'm still awaiting anyone from Pizza Express Woking coming forward and saying they worked there around that time and don't ever remember Royalty visiting or of course someone saying they served him.

    Surely working in a minimum wage job serving pizzas you'd remember that time Royalty came in.

    Yes the chances of a waiter/waitress remembering the visit are 1000x more likely than Andrew remembering it. But I would reckon they would be unable to recall the exact date.

     

    If it had actually happened round about then.

     

    And that was what he was relying on that someone, anyone, came forward and said they recalled him being there. When questioned about the date, they wouldn't be sure so he could say "see, told you one was there!".

     

    Edited to use correct language for royalty.

  11. Prince Andrew went on at great length during his interview to play down his association with Epstein, pinning everything on having a mutual friend in Ghislaine. Where is he now in his friend’s hour of need?

    Surely air travel to the US is not cost prohibitive for him to visit and offer support?

  12. 2 minutes ago, RiG said:

    The worst decision was a handball he gave us in the first half. He let play go on for at least 5 seconds before seemingly giving in to our appeals and brought it back as Dunfermline broke forward to give us a free kick :lol: 

    I had forgotten about that - think that was when I knew we weren't getting any decisions. He obviously didn't see it and was swayed by pressure.

  13. There was a handball by ICT in our box (not given) just before the free kick (that wasn't) and subsequent goal (that wasn't across the line).

    Referee had a shocker, not helped by an assistant who was worse.

    Lots of other incidents in that game that were poor and most went against us.

    A flukey deflected goal to win, just to put the boot in.

    More seething as I'd fully supported ICT with their statement re Keatings red card incident citing "sporting integrity". Not that I'd expected any of their players to say to the ref "I didn't think it crossed the line, sir" instead of celebrating like they'd won a goldfish.

    Did Partick not have a ghost goal incident with us last season and fans commented that it balanced out the Doolan one they weren't given against Morton. I suppose our luck will balance out at some point, or are we still repaying karma for the Jimmy Sandison pen nearly three decades on... Not even a peep in the media about it.

    Heartening to see a fairly dece performance but still gutted.
