"David Bates is now really good again and should be in the next squad"
^^^ all you lot on here

No point in him continuing to play at that level and he's exactly the sort of player we need. I'd hope we're at least asking the question about taking him on loan (although I'd imagine he'd have plenty options in the Championship).

Hoping for either Hibs or St Johnstone.

1 hour ago, FFC 1876 said:Well that was rank but winning ugly is the sign of a good team. Gary Oliver won't do for me, constantly finds himself too deep or out wide nowhere near the goal. He got an absolute gift today in the second half from their keeper and failed to lob it over Mclean. Alegria showed some promise when he came on, attacked that near post header really well and was unlucky to lose his footing a few times after good touches.
Still at least two players to come in so hopefully they'll sort our lack of attacking threat. Morrison again missing the final touch, head down and just fire it straight at the keeper.
I'm really trying not to be cheeky or rude here but if you think Oliver is poor and Alegria looked promising today then I think we're watching different matches.
We have conceded one goal in four games to win the group. Really solid defensively which is a great place for start. Worth remembering we were missing four through injury or suspension today and the club have said they're still hoping to bring more in. We're doing the basics much better already and should improve as the season goes on. Roll on next Satu

On today I'd be whacking Callumn Morrison upfront, let him run wild against the back two of Brian Mclean and Peter Grant. Quite interested to see how Rodden is for Clyde, I'm sure we had someone on here or the COYB page wanting us to sign him last season having watched him for the shire.
Morrison
Williamson Donaldson Mackie Mccann
McGinn Hetherington
Mcguffie Yeats Oliver
MorrisonGary Oliver's best attributes are holding the ball up with his back to goal and leading a high press of the opposing defence. You'd lose all of that if you shunt him out wide.

Nobody can criticise any of the players from now on unless they can do a better job themselves.

Another thread falls to 'Group Chat General Nonsense'.
@ The Mods - as discussed on The Hotline, please lock this topic since it has been compromised over the last few pages.

There appears to be a developing sub-community of posters - exclusively male and over 50 - who object in frothing terms to any discussion of current issues that includes pesky things like facts, evidence or argumentation. Apparently using these techniques on the GN section of a Scottish football forum is a claim to world-leading expertise that requires slapping down your CV and publications to back it up at every opportunity. Which seems strange given that the volume of semi-serious discussion has in fact massively declined on here in the past 15 years.
Perhaps the solution to this deeply held grievance is to set up a Da'snet sub-forum - a cosy safe space where you can just post puns, Kenneth Williams jpegs and scorching anecdotal/mainstream media regurgitated takes to your heart's content.
The insistence that everyone else must follow these norms is getting rather tedious though.
This echoes a lot of the discussion me and my mates have been having Offline.
I never thought I'd be one of those who ends up saying this but General Nonsense is far far worse than it used to be. Think it's a combo of "Group Chat General Nonsense" as I call them and the bores you've called out above.

Last week v hibs had the ball down the corner he fired a shot about 15 yards wide and hibs had a chance right after, nae brains sometimes.
If we can’t beat Clyde to get into the knockouts then we don’t deserve anything, 50k minimum prize money plus potential tv and gate monies on the line.
A draw does us on Saturday. Don't even need to win the shootout.

How many subs were Morton able to name today? Will reserve judgement on whether to give Clyde the tiniest bit of praise until I know.

Good to see HibeeJibee returning to the EoS forum over the last few days. The posters in the Pyramid sections of The Forum in general are largely excellent. Daily reading for me and it makes it so much easier to follow what's happening outside of the SPFL.

Quite happy to take someone on loan that's played first team games elsewhere prior to joining us. Too often we've taken players who freeze up and are used to kids football. Kennedy will have a good understanding of what's required. He's only 20 years old and about 18 months ago he was being linked with moves to every elite club in Europe. Gives us a degree of flexibility now across the four attacking positions.
Every McGlynn signing so far has looked good the couple of times I've seen them so I think he's already earned a bit of faith.

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it, but Morrison taking that wild shot in the 93rd minute rather than just keeping it in the corner was one of the most pea brained things I've seen in a long time. Very nearly cost us with Doidge missing the one on one directly from the subsequent goal kick.

I’m I correct in thinking if we qualify for the league cup 2nd round we get £50k share of prize money and also got £17k for TV money last night ?
50k prize money if we win the group. Slightly less than that if we were to qualify as one of the best second placed teams.

You'd have a point if you weren't the most utterly banal contributor to the entire forum.
I was voted in the Top 15 greatest posters in the history of The Forum. Were you?

Weston was one I was really hoping we could get in on loan so that's a bit of a blow. Scored for fun in the LL and seems to be really highly rated.
We're in a tough position in some ways but I feel like there's loads of players I'd been hopeful of signing that have either gone to clubs around us (eg Ballantyne), clubs up a league (eg Easton, Weston, Brown) or re-signed with their current clubs (eg Frizzel).
I'm hoping a few players get freed up for loans as clubs further up the chain complete their business. Our squad is really thin atm - tonight it's basically 11 players who can start, a sub keeper, Wilson and bunch of weans. Hopefully we don't panic and sign any old dross but we're going to have to twist at some stage.

Makes you wonder if all the disruption and the loss of pay by being on strike was worth it given that they could have had 4.2% almost 2 months ago.
For someone on £50k all the disruption has earned them just £33 a month before tax and NI.
Was it really worth it for under £20 a month net or just over a tenner a month net for someone on £20k ?
