  1. Are we going to see Carroll back in time to play on the other side from O'Donnell?
  2. His attempt to cross with his left foot from the bye line after beating his man had me laughing / tearing my hear out in equal measure.
  3. What are the options for non-season ticket holders to watch this (apart from behind the sofa)?
  4. We sold Elliot to Hull and also sold Eric Delomeaux to Aberdeen but yes, the administrators didn't just let players go if we thought we could get a fee for them.
  5. Good luck to Adam but I have to ask, is the photo they're using for publicity from the game where he came on as a sub and get taken off again because he was cramping up? Not his finest moment.
  6. Yip, we've got a game to concentrate on. How long before the papers start coming out with boyhood heroes shite though?
  7. Wouldn't bother me if it is one of the defenders or even Trevor Carson! Seriously though, with our signings over the summer I thought we were shaping up to be quite a tall team that could be dangerous at set-pieces but it really hasn't turned out that way. Admittedly the injury to McGinley hasn't helped.
  8. We've done nothing this season to inspire any confidence at all. I'm just hoping we can snatch a goal somehow and avoid an embarrassing defeat.
  9. Where does the money come from in Cyprus? Is there a reason behind it?
  10. The flexible working arrangement allows you to be furloughed on days (or even hours) when you don't have sufficient work. Does that mean the reserve players who don't have games to play can come in and get paid for training and then be furloughed for their down-time? At a real stretch you could apply that to the first team but that would surely be abusing the system.
  11. Me and my big mouth. We've had so many corners and done nothing from them then lose a goal from one. Taking Campbell off for a forward left us short in midfield.
  12. That's miss of the season stuff from Accies. They're looking likely now.
  13. Another great Accies chance. I think we've all seen this story before!
  14. Accies really starting to look stretched now. Surely we've got to take something.
  15. Long on for White but I'd have Watt on instead as it's really not the game for Long. No room for him to make runs.
  16. Which is one of the main reasons we've been Premiership fixtures and clubs of a similar size (and bigger) have spent several seasons in lower leagues. When resources are similar it really does boil down to making the most out of them.
  17. Cheers. So he was right when he said they had doubled their money by getting through to the next round and meant qualifying for the group stages when he talked about a million euros.
  18. Not a great game but the weather and pitch didn't help although I thought it seemed to stop HB playing football more than Glentoran. Lovely finish to win it though. Strangely, I've turned over to the Coleraine game where it actually looks quite a nice night and the pitch is i great nick. I don't know if anyone heard the commentator say after the game that qualifying for Europe is worth half a milliion euros to Glentoran and winning tonight doubled their money! Surely some mistake.
  19. I watched the first episode of Mini Disco Divas on the BBC Scotland channel with my daughter last night. Quite an entertaining and eye-opening look at the kids' free-style dancing scene in Scotland. I was more disappointed than I should have been that the wee brother of 10 year-old twins Brooke and Taylor in Greenock isn't called Tim.
  20. Nice finish for the goal. The co-commentator is someone called Scott Young who played briefly for St. Johnstone and Dundee before becoming a Glentoran player and manager.
  21. I've put it on after half an hour and the ball is sticking in the puddles - summer football eh! There's a Scottish co-commentator but I have no idea who it is. HB look the better team from what little I've seen so far. Scrappy game but I don't want to say too much because I did see our game against Livingston.
  22. I've seen very little of Accies but gather they were perhaps a bit unfortunate to lose against St. Mirren. I can see us having lots of possession but struggling to score never mind create chances if Accies defend in depth. Could go either way as could most games in the division - would be really pissed off if we have most of the ball but still manage to lose to a poorly defended goal. Certainly wouldn't rule it out.
  23. Do Accies pick up a sell-on fee from Docherty's move from Hull? Undisclosed fee but doesn't stop you from speculating how much is coming your way.
