  1. A VERY quick check looks like Musonda played 27 times for Raith in 20/21 then 23 times in 21/22.  I've got him down as 18 appearances for Ayr this season so doesn't look good to beat his best.   It's a shame as he is a cracking player.    

    Re next season - we will still have Frankie and can probably assume he will give us half a season.  I'd love to keep McGinty as the sort of '3rd choice CB but will almost always be needed' sort of role as this year.  Doubt we would get Kirk back but you never know.    

    I'm not overly bothered though, back in May I'd never heard of Kirk and only very vaguely knew Musonda so I'm absolutely 100% confident the scouting team will have folk lined up.  Their big decisions are at full back - that's where they need to be ruthless.

    92 would have been the last time at parkhead .would love too get a trip and tick another ground off .them or hearts ..

    Only time I've been at Tynecastle was 1998, was on the Valspar / Ayr Boswell u13/14s bus and we broke down at some point on way home.   Lost 4-1 to a very good Hearts side, Finbogasson in nets having a stinker for one of their goals

    Did we just wait until extra time until we started to play, or did Elgin just get tired and make mistakes?

    Both pretty much.  Elgin were absolutely burst from about 75 mins on but it still didn't look like we were going to score.

    We played a formation that barely worked for the last 4 months, with some players that haven’t performed consistently since October and performed as expected.

    We really need a shake and I thought the loss to Queens Park might have given us it but it doesn’t look like it did. 

    This 100%.  Set up the exact same today suggests he's sticking with it.  Makes us rotten to watch and totally ineffective up front.

    Having your away kit as a template that your nearest rivals use as their training kit is embarassing. Irrespective of who announced it first.

    It won a fan vote where anyone could vote. Not just fans of the club. Had everyone voted for the grey kit like me then it wouldn't have happened. 

    How can that possibly embarrass you? We wore a strip that we won away to Killie in and ur finding fault - would 99% of the fan base even know it was a Killie training kit?  I certainly wouldn't if it wasn't for folk on here. 

    Folk that get worked up about the strip are the embarrassment if you ask me.   We will always have a black and white home one and a different away one.  It's the players wearing it that matter.    5-1 win away at Morton in bright pink? Superb stuff.  Even though half the crowd probably hated it 🤣

  6. Interesting to see our lineup- we haven't played our strongest XI in any of the 7 Cup ties that we have played this season, with mixed results.   After Friday's let down against Queens Park I'd like to see us go strong and hopefully get back on track - last couple of home games were pretty miserable due to weather / scrappy performances so would be good to get back to entertaining ways.

    Yeah checked it. One match ban in specific competition so sent off in league, served in league. Only violent conduct, serious foul play or spitting at an opponent or official cross competitions to be served in next game . 

    Superb news, thank you for confirming.  Gives us whatever the opposite of a goal head start is that Graham would have provided.

    Absolutely, when you consider that we’ve only taken 7 points from the last 6 league games 

    Partick lost to Cove at home.  That's a David Bangala-less Cove.    That we beat 8-0 going on about 20-0 last week.   The absolutely 100% guaranteed Brian Graham goal aside, there's no way we shouldn't be pumping Partick in 2 weeks, especially as we should surely have just beat Elgin while they lose at Ibrox.

    My point is that the only reason he is being linked with us is because he's been here before. His ability doesn't come into it, he isn’t actually needed. We've got an abundance of midfielders. Even if Murdoch were injured (hopefully speculation), is he the right replacement? I'm not convinced.

    It's also not comparable to Moffat or Geggan at all. There was a need for both of them as we were building the 2017/18 squad in the summer and had just gone full time. I can't imagine any fan questioned bringing in either of them in at the time. Both having won League One and playing Championship football. If they did they had taken leave of their senses. No signing is a sure thing but that double signing of Moffat & Geggan was as close to a no brainer as you could get.

    We do have a lot of centre mids, however Kerr McInroy is absolutely miles better than Michael Hewitt who currently had a starting attacking CM role, so if Murdoch is indeed injured for a while then its an absolute yes for me if there was any truth in the rumour.
