PELE

Bad runs come to an end eventually. We are looking better again, but you are due a win soon against us. Still feel confident for Saturday though.

Is that definite? I thought you were out by early August.

Is this our last ever league trip to Hampden?

Why do we sit so deep. All it does is make it easier for the opposition. Brechin are decent when they get going, but still give away poor goals.

Looks confident in his ability. Decent player. Strong as well.

He moved to Dunfermline area for work and was travelling up for games, which would have been a fair effort. Don't think Brora wanted him to go. Brora's loss and our gain.

The Ballingry special!

I was right in line as well and he was well offside when the ball was played.

Stupid again from Pyper, but very soft penalties. Coxy was well offside for the goal. Poor officials again. Valentine managed to let an easy ball run out right in front of the linesman and he just played on and linesman did nothing. Same linesman that got Coxy sent off.

Yeah. His kicking was just like Dabrowski's.

Think it was a trial for Atletico Madrid. He played well up at Cove (or should I say Abersneckie). Some good saves kept the score down.

I kept calling them Peterhead as well. Had to keep reminding myself it was actually Cove. I was just down from the incident and I don't remember Coxy going near any fans.

No doubt Cove were the better team, but there wouldn't have been much in it if it wasn't for the two stupid penalties, even though we didn't offer much. Why does Pyper barge into opposition players in the box? Just needs to stand his ground. Cove wouldn't have scored the first if Pyper had just blocked the player. I like Pyper, but he makes some bizarre decisions sometimes. Can't understand why Hamilton and Thomas don't start. Cox getting sent off was utterly bizarre. Waiting on the Cove player getting treatment and I thought maybe the linesman was telling the ref that Hamilton caught the Cove player and should be booked, then next minute Cox is off. Nobody knew why.

What's our likely line up tomorrow? All fit except Renton and Dabrowski? Only Todd suspended? Who will be in goals this week?

That's more like it, centre half. He always does well defending corners and is good at passing usually.

Pity Todd is missing. Could have pushed Swann further up and allow him to bang a few in.

It will be cunningly disguised as a pipe.

Ah D3. You mean the Third Division. The first trophy Rangers ever won.

Brechin look the part, but they give away too many sloppy goals. Stenny on the other hand just look poor. Brechin would comfortably deal with a team like Kelty, if it gets to that.

What is this D2 you speak about? You mean League 2 laddy.

When he is fit again, keep him on the bench. My worry is he comes straight back in and we resort to hoofball.

Connelly can step in for Smith. Assuming Bollan doesn't start playing Thomas again.

It would have been good to keep Smith and far better for his development as well. Hearts have recalled seven loanees. They won't play all of them, if any of them even get much of a look-in. Maybe they are recalling them to make a push for the reserve league title! In the old days, players like Smith would have been on the books of teams like Cowden. Nowadays, these players are basically hoovered up by the bigger teams to fill reserve and youth teams and only see action when they are loaned out.

Is that a Bollan tattoo on his arm?

Yeah. They were on loan until the January window, which is now. It will be tough without them, if they go back. Fife times mentions everyone available for tomorrow except Renton and Dabrowski. Fingers crossed.
