Nice development.
Not making the trip up tomorrow. Interesting to see if both teams can take up the available compliment of substitutes though. Even more so if they are out of their teens.

A lot at stake at Gayfield on Saturday.
My last visit was 7-1, after Scott Stewart scoring first. Several years back. Hoping for an improvement.

Afolabi's unsuccessful trial or not, he is light year's away from signing for the Diamonds.
Adding to my own post here, move on folks.

And he should be. Don’t know how much he’s even trained with the first team (if at all) but to start in holding midfield on the day you officially sign and do a reasonable job at only 16/17 is some going. Hope he continues to develop and we see him in and around the first team squad again in the future. He’s already no worse than some of the jobbers who’ve played for us over the years.
Like the look of the young man. At danger of cursing his future, there is a bit of a Billy Gilmour there I think.

From experience, don't rely on train schedules presently.
Had four service changes on the way to/from Cowdenbeath on Saturday and still ended up getting a taxi back from Croy after a staff related cancellation.
Today's announcement over drivers' apparent acceptance of a pay offer sounds good, but doubt it will change things soon.

Steady performance; 11 or 10.
Domestic Cup forum though?

0-3. Only had two subs, one of those a keeper . Played the last 15 with 10. Not under any threat really.

I concur Emma.
He had a few good performances and then tailed off. From what I recall, he was rather disrespectful after signing at Stark's Park too.

If Cole Gibson was the number 4 on Sunday, I liked what I saw. Young boy though.

Cowdenbeath v Diamonds on Saturday will be this Saturday's away match. Travel and ticket sorted.
Hope to see a few others including Arbroath, which is a favourite away day. No aspirations beyond a visit though.

top 4 will be Falkirk, Dunfermline, QOS Airdrie in any order.
Not sure we will hit last season's highs, sadly.

Brody signs for Hartlepool. Mass emigration act of 2022 conducted by Paul Hartley it seems.
Would have had some suitors in L1 and above maybe. Murray had him on trial or training with Raith I heard.
Scored in a friendly for Raith against Dunbar a couple of weeks back, David.
The lure of Monkey Hanger money too strong it seems. More to follow, perhaps?

It was mooted, but I doubted it would come about.
Nice to be wrong sometimes.

Not at his prices. Our pool to 'fish' in is somewhat cheaper, sadly.

Just looked at McFarlane's stats. Only played 29 games for Diamonds over two spells.
In 256 professional games, he scored 5 goals. A poor return, but 3 of those for Airdrie ; so acceptable for us.

Another Neil McFarlane in the making. Well more or less.
Bring it on.

it’s down to inconsistent skill, motivation or application.
.....and considerable cost/wage from the limited comment that has come my way.

A tad more credible, Sean but still speculative my friend.

They are quite select establishments, I think you will find.

we need a keeper…
A former custodian has been muted. No idea how accurate though. Personally, I would be happy with the signing if it comes about.

Just making my appearance from behind the 'playoff' couch only to be faced with this news.
Managerial lucky dip ensues.
Back to square one pretty much. Players on freedom of contract after expiry of their deals. Could even lose Callum Smith yet, if money is tabled. Chance of Salim limping into the box by the end of September? Maybe.
Back behind the couch I think, until it blows over.

Full bench for a change too.

Have to congratulate, as others have, Cove for their unerring march to the title. Fare well in the Championship.
