Actually one of the only fife derbies that all-ticket would make sense for. I was even expecting there to be a need to give a few days where season ticket holders would get priority, before general sale.

We are very vulnerable at set pieces, and that can't continue if we want to avoid having to score an extra goal every game to make up for it. Jeffries isn't stupid and I'd expect him to be working a lot on them tho.

I'm not a massive fan of cricket, but it seems to me England arn't even playing that well, but australia are contriving to beat themselves, they'd be as well after hitting 30 or so turning round and smashing the stumps.
They've been risky with the review system, and in trying to squeeze an extra run here and there. Test cricket isn't exactly known for rewarding risk takers.

Your calling the situation completely wrong, in 5 years time we will probably have over 50% of games played on plastic,give it 10 and grass will be a minority.It will all come full circle. Fast forward 5 years and we'll be ripping it up to be replaced with - grass. There is no debate, the old grass pitch was fine. Ask any player (as I have), if their being honest they will tell you they hate plastic. It is no way to play football.
In terms of how players feel there is probably a significant difference between a 35 year old and a 20 year old, quite simply there is a generation of players that have trained throughout winter on 3G (or worse) since they have been very young, they are very used to artificial surfaces. It doesn't bother them and we aren't far from artificial surfaces being as good or better than a grass pitch, we are probably at the stage that during the winter months playing and training on 3G is a better option.

I don't remember too much about him tbh, but I seem to remember him as quite quick and he was forced out wide quite often when he played( I believe he prefers playing as a striker). Nothing to make me desperate to keep him, but nothing to make me glad to get rid either.What was rory loy like for yous ? Hes playing as a trialist for us tomorrow and also played against forfar on tuesday and scored twice.
ETA: there were a few kenny era signings that I was keen to get rid of so , not bad not great at that time probably made him a decent enough player for us at that time.

Get used to it. We're a 2nd division club. What sort of signings are you expecting?
Well, i reckon Buffon will want to see out his career at somewhere quieter , oh wait he's over 21.
In all honesty I don't expect much, but he played at this level only a couple of months ago and wasn't rated. But its a position that experience is very much the key so finding a good u21 keeper would have been a massive struggle. It's more the fact he's on loan that worries me, there is nothing to suggest he is better than Hrivnak at the moment and loan players tend to be automatic starters.

Not a signing to fill me with confidence especially with id being a loan id expect him to be 1st choice. he isn't rated by either partick or Albion rovers fans but the only time I've seen him was his 20 spell against us where he did nothing. Can't remember the score that day, apparently it wasn't very good.
That said I will back him all the way. Hopefully he takes his opertunity.

Pointing out awkward truths is one thing, supporting very similar things that "your side" are doing is where the hypocrisy and bigotry start to display themselves.That made the LOL public enemy number one when they pointed out certain awkward truths on issues like education such as sending children to the same schools saves a lot of money and reduces the level of division. .
Using your example, a secular schooling system and pointing out that politions don't want it for political reasons would be a positive thing. Wanting rid of catholic schools but wanting religious observance(of a strictly prodesdent nature I'm sure) to remain in "non-Dom" schools is absolutely a negative. When one of your more positive policy's is so blatantly born out of bigotry it's easy to notice the OO are a despicable organisation.

Stereotyping should be avoided,I agree, but you can judge an individual for being a member of the OO and group them together, hell they've done that part for you. If you stand as a group, you get attacked as a group.Not in my experience. People should be judged as individuals, in my opinion, and stereotyping is something that is best avoided.

It's fifth generation 3G (if that's not a contradiction in terms but that's how they describe it). It's the fifth level of technical advancement since they went to 3G.
As discussed a while ago in the SPL forum and currently in Tonsilitis' thread this morning, 2 star rated artificial surfaces are absolutely fine for the top level in the new structure. They were also absolutely fine latterly in the SPL, this isn't anything the merger has changed.
I suppose in computing terms it would be version 3.5.
I thought the SPL always kept the "subject to board approval" line

We of course are not going to be hearing anything about a 700 year old battle next summer in the run up to the referendum, because that would be backward and bigoted after all. Another thing to bear in mind maybe is that Scotland had much the same conflicts going on internally that the island of Ireland did in the late 17th century and there were battles like Killiecrankie and Dunkeld that happened in Scotland at around the same time as the Boyne.
The main difference was that the pro-Glorious Revolution forces didn't need any outside help from William of Orange to come out on top in a Scottish context. The traditions of the Covenanters who won that conflict have been suppressed to a large extent by the powers that be and were largely replaced by all the kilts and bagpipes kitsch and Highland landscape fetishism of the likes of Sir Walter Scott as the underpinning of Scottish identity during the Victorian era to the extent that people have even started to believe that Culloden was a Scotland vs England thing.
One of the reasons a lot of people find modern Scottish nationalism difficult to take seriously is the way that it often all seems to revolve around a false cultural identity of pseudo-Jacobitism that was cynically promoted by Victorian era Tories to make Scotland fit in better with the imperial project of the 19th century. Hence why the vulgar and cringeworthy displays of the Tartan Army are a Scottishness that many people find it very difficult to identify with.
I don't know why your trying to bring Scottish nationalism into this, there is an entire tedious thread dedicated to it, this is about mocking hypocritical bigots. But don't worry about that rule Britannia eh.

My God. When Rangers went bust we were in the same league...We are going to be in the same league this season hopefully but where will we be next year...and the year after that..and the year after that?
When your club needed your support more than ever you were posted missing.
They are not exactly like for like situations but if i was a Pars supporter i would be absolutely raging at my fellow 'supporters' and their complete apathy towards the whole situation
We wern't posted missing, we've added 2000 to our gate, have reached our fundraising target 2 weeks earlier than hoped, and got the supporters group as the preferred bidder, what exactly more could be done? Fan for fan we have done so much more than the last version of rangers did.

Why would he need to tell me?
I have made little comment on either Hearts or Dunfermline other than to remark on the atrocious attitude of their own supporters in their clubs hour of need. Only last weekend a game between the 2 club only attracted 5,000 FFS! How many did Hearts take to Hampden last season? They should have been trying to play the game at a stadium such as Murrayfield and selling the place out! With support like that i fear for both clubs
Sell out murrayfield for a friendly? Not exactly realistic. I think Brian Jackson would have been very happy to see 5000 turn up.
Our atrocious attitude is getting us very very close to safety. A passed CVA and a continuos history. Bet your gutted your fans didn't have our atrocious attitude, maybe they would have saved your club, and avoided having to create a Phoenix club to play in the 3rd division.

Herz directors did - it was them that made the claim. Not that I'm fussy how clubs like yours hit the wall - just as long as they do.
I'm just chuffed for the herz support that their club is in tatters. Pity for Dundee, mind, in the way that herz fucked them over - still, I'm sure all the integrity warriors will rally around them. Eventually. Mibbe the dolly support can sponsor a furry mascot as they did for Raith. Or they might have another of those 'sell out less than 50% of a stadium Saturday.' You know, like you managed so recently for the game vs herz.
I wish you the very worst of luck with your cva.
Directors scramble around for excuses when they've fucked up that's hardly new.
Our cva has a good chance of passing because pars fans have rallied round to save the club, unlike a certain club from Govan.
Are you that desperate to have company for Phoenix clubs? Are the likes of Gretna 2008 not enough?

Alright guys, just popped in to make a general enquiry, not to gloat or anything...
Anyway, will we be getting the usual away stand on Saurday? Seems pointless if we are as we'd be lucky to see enough to fill any 1 stand.
Yes usual stand behind the goals, could possibly put you in the north east but that has issues with disabled fans.

Doncaster's land of milk and honey speeches have really touched you I see. But, nae love or respect for the fife losers.
Herz are away - can't wait to see who's next!
Good job were not looking for your love or respect then isn't it.
Do you really think our or hearts problems have anything to do with you?

Take it to the casino and put it all on black IMO.
This is why we will be moving forward no longer risking our future, We have a system, which equals profit.

AFJ would be way more clued up on the details than me, but it all revolves around walking in from Unionist areas on the edge of the city to the city centre in the morning to join up with the main Belfast area parade and then back again in the early evening once that's over and done with. Most of the route is non-controversial and through predominantly Unionist areas, but North Belfast has a complex patchwork sort of geography when it comes to who lives where, so at one point they wind up going past rather than through a hardline Republican area. The Crumlin Road is one of the main arterial routes in that regard, so the argument on the Unionist side is that it's a shared space, while obviously the resident groups from the Ardoyne put a very different spin on things. The ruling from the Parades Commission this year was that the morning was OK, but the evening wasn't, which seems a bit bizarre to me.
So their marching to a march/ parade, seems kinda pointless, especially when it's known to cause so much trouble.
If they can't find an appropriate route (which apparently they can't) then simply don't have the march, they can get on buses or drive into the city centre do there thing and f**k off home. Problem avoided.

Lets put it down to a mix of delusion and retardedness.
Whether that's the players believing it or you believing them, I'm not sure.
Back their ability, have a word with yourself. No way do they think they will finish above Rangers. They'd be delighted if they got in the play offs.
Have a word with myself? Really ? They are saying we could maybe challenge them, it's very unlikely and we have a good chance of being in a relagation fight, but nothing wrong with abit of optimism.

No I'm sure they do actually believe it. Apart from maybe Ryan Thomson, who thought we'd stayed up after we lost to Airdrie.
I think the players back their ability, besides I don't think there is much demand from the fan base to challenge rangers so its not exactly telling the fans what they want to hear.
Oh and there must be some form of grant we can get for employing thomson, he has zero chance of earning a wage outside of football.

It doesn't really help when the top bigots basically said that the flag riots were good and that they needed to do similar over the parades commission.

I'll probably get used to it, but it's very disappointing.

That was about as enjoyable as a friendly can be, made me feel semi-optimistic for the season ahead. Don't think I saw enough of the young guys/ ferguson and buchan to make a judgement, they played well enough but didn't get too much game time.

Well that means we need a striker to complete Jeffries wish list, I'd hope to add an other player on top of that, either a winger or a striker.
