Tbf for anyone interested in going a day trip by ferry, leaving Stranraer at 11:30 arriving 13:45 and leaving Belfast 19:30 arriving back 21:50, parking the car and walking onto the ferry is only coming to £25 which isn't too bad, hearing the ground is only 10 minutes away from ferry port, but a hell of a long day.

I've already looked at flights, flying out Saturday morning flying back Sunday afternoon £80 add accommodation, match ticket, food and drink you're probably going to hit £200, there really has been no thought for the fans whatsoever by these donkeys incharge of our game.

fwiw I've heard that Gallacher has made it clear that if Livi want him when he's available he'll sign for Livi, he appreciated the support of the club and fans.

Lewis Allan, was on loan to you I believe, we just signed him on loan, thoughts on him would be appreciated ?

Two goals we lost against St Mirren where absolute peaches, and the other a total fluke, we played fantastic against St Mirren. As for the Edinburgh game you've got to beat what's in front of you, it's the kinda game we've struggled in in the past and we eased to victory that night. Listen I'm not and never have been a Hopkin fan but I think it's very unfair to judge this team after losing to Ayr Utd, it was a bad night at the office, players wouldn't be playing at this level if they where consistent all the time, from the pre season friendlies and the two previous cup games there are a lot of positives to take. The league is the most important thing, we where basically 4th seed for the league cup group and will finish 4th.

What utter utter nonsense, you clearly didn't see much of us last season if you don't think we've improved anything. Warranted we struggled tonight but after 20 minutes I bet u where sitting there saying Livi are playing some really tidy stuff here. If you've seen any of the pre season games or the st Mirren or Edinburgh games you'll know we will be up there challenging this season, don't forget Ayr are in a higher league than us. Who gives a duck about Alloa beating Ross County.

Prices for the cup game are £12 and £6 which is quite reasonable. no student gate that I know off.

It doesn't matter what he was offered the compensation goes on what he was paid, like I said I don't know if it's true but from what I was told he was on around £65 a week which means around 3, 3 and a half k a season so we aren't likely to offer any more than 5k. I don't disagree, Airdrie will ofcourse be challengers alongside 3 or 4 others clubs I'd say, from what I've seen from Cadden so far I'm absolutely delighted to have him here at Livingston.

Out of interest what do you think Cadden is worth ? From what I've been told (no idea if true) he was on £65 a week, so a seasons wages would be around £3000 odd, is the compo not based on what the clubs paid in wages, so yeh I agree £500 is ludicrous but it's not going to be much more than 3 or 4K is it ? Cadden has easily been the best signing we've made, looks absolutely menacing, ran St Mirren ragged today, actually thought Lithgow and Crighton had a decent game today but yeh I'm still to be convinced, although they handled today well and we won't come up against players like Sutton and Clarkson in league 1 anyway should certainly make for an interesting season anyway.

We are constantly being told we are insignificant in Scottish football by others (no Livi fan is disagreeing btw) but yet they all find the time to post shite in this part of the forum rather than concentrate on there own team. Best of luck with your season, how's Hugo getting on ?

Why are Airdrie fans obsessed with us ?

Thanks lads, sounds promising then, it's a position we've been screaming out to sign someone so that'll be us just about complete with transfers now. Should be plenty balls into the box with our two out and out wingers so we will create chances for him.

Is the lad any good, 4 goals in 20 appearances on loan at East Stirling doesn't fill me with confidence but seems quite popular with you guys.

Agree with the above, we've steadily improved over the three friendly games and looked pretty good last night. Josh Mullin looks a different player already with half a season full time and pre season, and Nicky Cadden looks excellent too, both should cause plenty problems for league 1 clubs this season. Min the middle I was well impressed by Sinclair and what and Miller had his best game too, all look solid, and bearing in mind we have Knox, Pittman, Byrne and Currie too we certainly have strength in depth. I agree about the two centre backs although again they've got better over the 3 games, and we shouldn't come up against the quality of opposition in league 1 as we have in the 3 games. We are bare up top though, we desperately need another striker. St mirren will be a tough start to the season, but will show us how close we are to having a championship side, I don't think we can judge the teams chances until we come against Ayr Utd and Edinburgh City though.

I don't mind the black it's the yellow I have a problem with, I'd have liked to have seen a little more yellow on it, well I mean Amber, how hard is it to get Amber, the fans have been screaming out for years about it. It'll grow on me, still unsure about it yet.

Another friendly last night. Much better last night against opposition that will be more akin to what we will come up against in league 1 and we more than held our own. Again Cadden looked excellent, a proper winger, Josh Mullin looks more confident already maybe helped with a full time pre season under his belt, Watt also solid again and the big lad up front could really cause problems, it's likely he'll be signed up soon. Still a big doubt about the centre back pairing who I'm nervous about, I wouldn't mind us trying to bring in a proper Right back and putting Halkett back to centre back but I'm not convinced that'll happen. Still to be impressed by Mikey Miller too but think he'll likely be back up for Shaun Byrne. One things for sure, we have an abundance of options from middle to front, Pittman still to come back, Sinclair also looked handy we should definitely be up there challenging, I think our bigger squad may just prove the difference, but as I've said could do with tightening up at the back.

Keaghan Jacobs is twice the player Kyle is, excellent ability, vision and has a decent shot on him. He'd be a cracking signing for you.

Did you really think Crighton looked good ? I thought both him and lithgow looked like absolute bomb scares

He was played in midfield, moved to Right back late in the game and looked out his depth there too.

So what did we make of that today ? If I wasn't worried before I am now, yes it was just a pre season friendly against a very decent Dunfermline team but it was far too easy for them today. There was a couple bright lights, thought Cadden and watt looked useful and Knox looks like the player all these clubs have been going on about but the rest looked badly off it. Hopkin has signed these centre backs to rectify our defensive problem from last season, he may have made it worse and if truth be told on that performance today they are both bomb scares, appalling defending for all 5 goals today especially the fifth. Miller and Byrne I hardly noticed and Longride was well off the pace. I know it's only our first pre season game but there wasn't a lot to get me excited for the league season, maybe an improvement on Tuesday will change my mind.

Training tops are sky blue with neon green flashing, yet to see it but sounds horrendous.

You've got to assume he's been told to find another club, deleted "plays for Livingston FC" off his Twitter page.

Excellent, just what I wanted to hear haha

Id expect him to be played at RB tbh, I think his versatility will come in handy, maybe good enough for league 1, only time will tell.

Mikey Miller just signed for us, don't know much about him. Ok for league 1 ?
