That just will not do, sadly. Hard to all “pull in the same direction” when something seems wrong.

No - his likes of comments on Facebook are proof that is not the case. Something has happened, and given he seemed a very well liked and respected guy when he was appointed, it’s natural to wonder what happened. A real test for the transparency of the new regime - this is exactly when the old board would have had the NDA’s and threats out.

Yes, exactly. Clearly something has happened behind the scenes. I have no idea who the guy is so have no thoughts on it at all. But would be intrigued as to the story, as clearly someone/something has upset him. It clearly isn’t just a time pressure thing.

Never heard of him and hasn’t scored many/any professional goals, but both of those apply to Jaze Kabia, who I thought was quality. Praying he’s another of those…

LIGHT THE BEACONS

You wouldn’t troll your fellow bairns, would you Chinatoon?

Think this game will come too early for our current squad. Very unlikely to score and Airdrie have enough quality up front to nab a goal or 2. That could obviously change with a couple of signings, but they’re far more likely to come at the end of august than this week

As Sir John McGlynn noted, you brought about 60 fans for an opening weekend fixture, it is a nice change for your diddies to turn up and not pump us rotten for the first time in a couple years

Telfer still to get a club?

But then again we went up to cove last year on the first day with about 7 fit players and bodied them, very unlucky not to win. Today important obviously but don’t think it’ll define the season

Without hope, we have nothing

Airdrie are a clear value bet there imo. Us and Dunfermline, probably not

Another disadvantage of the increasing number of "B" teams down in that league. Just cannot understand how these guys playing (mostly with other youngsters) in that division is better development than Champ/L1 games with all ages.

With our CURRENT squad, I’d reckon we’d finish 15 points off Airdrie come season end. There’s just not a chance Mcglynn doesn’t add 2/3 in forward/striker areas

Something being filmed at the stadium today.....

Paid in full up front. No arguments from me.

Took, I'd guess, 0.4 seconds. Must be the wifi down in the Clacks.

Mcginn is everything I hoped Hetherington would be. Was everywhere today and very unlucky not to score with that strike. A nice change to look forward to a post match managerial interview

Your posts never inferred that imo. Providing feedback that proof reading is maybe a very good starting point to social media posts is helpful, nothing more.

I don’t think Blame Me has his “sights set” on anyone. He’s just calling it exactly as he, and I, see it. Feedback about how social media posts shouldn’t have glaring errors in a large whack of posts should be welcomed - some of the responses to him make it seem like no feedback is welcome (a signature of the old regime and something that is the opposite of what we should be aiming for)

Won't change anything for us. Morton will get a 3-0 win, leaving them on 4 points and a +1 GD. They'll almost definitely beat Bonnyrigg, thus, we still need a point v Clyde

Our injury list for a year + has been a joke - we can’t blame the pitch anymore. Is it bad luck, or something to do with strength/conditioning/physio/inadequate checks before players sign? Onto last night. Hard to take too much from it. Pitch is a mess - the pitch on the “changing room” side had a massive slope, and was difficult to play too much football on. Playing Leon Mccann CB is hilarious and shows the extend of our injuries. He did okay second half but we struggled, obviously, with long balls and crosses all night. Again, can’t really take too much from that. He Probably won’t ever play at CB again in his career. Oliver held up really well, and I noticed when Morrison cut inside and fired his 11th shot over the bar, (Oliver was fuming), Morrison’s head dropped, and instantly Oliver told him to keep his head up and keep going. Yeats and Mcginn decent combo I think. Mcginn such a leader and Yeats engine looked top notch, charging around at the end of the game. Now for my MOTM - Mackie - can play any position across the back line, numerous crucial interventions, lots of headers won, good distribution last night - wouldn’t be surprised if he plays almost every minute of the season for us

It’s not nitpicking. They’re getting major details wrong often, which caused a real fuss pre hibs game, and now this Nitpicking would be incorrect grammar etc

That’s the wife’s ticket going to waste then

That is a disgrace of a challenge btw. Stick on red these days. Pleasing FullSizeRender.MOV
