I suppose it allows Knox to get a run out...could be his last chance this season. Agreed on sibbald though...hopefully nothing serious as he's looked fantastic in the first few gamesThat's what I thought as well but our Twitter listing him as trialist threw me off, maybe they're just going by the team sheet though.
Sibbald comes off after 25 minutes. Hopefully that's not a bad injury.1 -
Probably Scott Robinson I'd imagineScott Robertson doesn’t have (T) next to his name on the team sheet.. does that mean we have signed him?0 -
Surely the appointment of Kenny Miller takes Livi up the table a bit in this sense...probably second or third

Halkett was at fault for the goal but Kelly did himself no favours by his positioning. It wasn't a long ball forward so he never had a chance of intercepting. From the highlights of the QOS game and seeing the goal yesterday he needs to be wary of being caught out in no-mans-land. Overall a good first half performance and shakier second. Thought the midfield was solid, in particular Robinson, and Lamie had a very solid debut. Lots of positives to take away and should be set for the season to come after the Betfred Cup action.
TBF we were in possession so he'll have been pushing up to make himself available for a pass.

Kelly wasn’t blameless but chance stemmed from Halkett’s mistake, simple as that. We need to sharpen up defensively and hopefully Tuesday will be a good test in that regard. A lot of chances created yesterday and on another day it could’ve been 5 or 6... Roll on Accies.
If Kelly blocks the shot it'd be seen as a great starting position for him...he was unlucky, Halkett is solely at fault I reckon, should have just put his foot through it and send it up for BSLM to contest. Missed the game due to work but watching the highlights and K. Miller seems to be dropping deeper almost like a 10 which is allowing Pittman etc to push forward into scoring positions...we've got great goalscoring midfielders and it seems Kenny has taken note of this. Think we'll see goals evenly spread throughout the team again this season. Also nice to see BSLM get off the mark early this season, the only thing he lacked last season was goals but that was overlooked due to his work rate and ability to bring others players into the game. We're going to have a great strikeforce when Hardie is back.

Quite a rubbish picture but what on earth is Kelly doing that far out. Resulted in a goal for Airdrie. Obviously not good enough and has lost us goals. Shocked we had Maley on the bench and not the new boy we just signed.
Some fans seem to have a bee in their bonnet about Kelly. Last season we had players who made mistakes and were left wanting defensively (some were even defenders) but the supports got behind the entire team...why does it seem to have changed?

You're not alone there...the site states the shirt is a throwback to the first SPL shirt. Would have been nice to see the black shorts too....saying that...two very nice kitsCracking kit. Think the home one would have looked better with black shorts. Don't know if that's just me though.1 -

The below is from an interview with L Miller on BBC. Not sure how i feel about changing it up. Was this not what everyone was worried about happening....
'Mix it up a bit more'
Livi made it back-to-back promotions via the play-offs, using long balls to good effect.
However, Miller suggested a move away from the direct style adopted by former boss David Hopkin.
"I think we're going to try and pass the ball a bit more this year," he said.
"Obviously we had a style of play last season under Davie that suited us, but this year we want to try and add to that
Against the better defences in the premiership, the direct game might not be as effective....I would imagine it'll still be there as a Plan B when the passing game doesn't work. We have players in the squad who are more than capable of playing a passing style as we showed numerous times last season. I think the part we as fans are worried about losing is the tireless closing down and harrying of opposition players when they're on the ball...if the energy and effort levels in that sense stay the same then I'd be happy.

Newport County continue with FBT, who also supply Livingston in Scotland, and Crewe and Doncaster in England. Their new home and away shirts are modelled on the tops worn from 1938 through the second world war. Very nice, although the bands across the tummy end rather abruptly. The third kit is a more modern affair, reminiscent of Spain's away kit of yesteryear (click to enlarge, you know the drill);
Would be more than happy for Livi's kit to be similar to, or the same as, this.

Just been announced that we've signed Ross Stewart (keeper) from you. What's he like?

Was decent at Livi...think his time at Hamilton was blighted by injuries though.

Robby McCrorie on loan from Rangers?
Behave...the daily record will pick that up as fact

Any idea of the lineup?5-1 win against Queens Park tonight, Robinson (2), Cadden (2), and Gallagher with the goals.0 -
That was my thought. I'm also assuming he's talking about future loans from Rangers as he's planning on staying around for a while...got ambitionAre development loans not considered a different style of loan?0 -
If they aren't gonna play halliday or dorrans I wouldn't mind them on loan until Christmas...you know...just to give them a bit of fitness [emoji6]So King Kenny is bringing in 2-3 players by the looks of things, maybe more who knows. Rumours floating about that he is going to try bring in a few body’s from Rangers. Who would everyone like to see be brought into the club and do you think we maybe need to try move a few players on ? If so who and why?

Yancy Madeiros out of 226, Paul Felder looking likely to step in and fight Mike Perry. I'm cool with that.
I'm more excited for the fight now...has the potential to be an absolute war

Bit of knicker-wetting going on here. Squad is looking good and pre-season training looks to be going well.
We will get our manager, the club need to try and make sure they are choosing the right one.
Agreed, if Miller gets the job it seems he might be in an uphill struggle straight away with some fans. Whoever it is we need to get behind them

Right, this is a joke!! Get Miller to foooook! D1cking us around big time. The board need to show some balls and tell him he's had long enough - clearly after a better offer elsewhere so why bother.
How sure are you that it's Miller that's holding this up?

Heard Stevie Lawless was training with you guys.
great addition if true...looked one of the better players in the playoff final.
5 hours ago, Mpire said:Getting slightly concerned about the manager situation - we keep pushing back the deadline and clearly K Miller doesn't really want it or he would have said yes already. Long it goes on the more disruptive its going to be when one does come in. If Miller says no on Wednesday now, then what? Holt? If he doesn't want it then we are in real trouble (or just give it to Martindale anyway)!
The club have said they weren't interviewing until Martindale was back from holiday which was only last week. Then sift through the candidates to find the suitable one and begin talks. There was talk last week that the rubber stamp would be put on things today with a view to announcing by Thursday.

It’s millers to turn down
If John Hartson was seen as not having enough experience I don't see what makes Kenny Miller any more relevant

Looks like we finished 0-0 tonight. By the snippets I caught from twitter we seemed to be under the cosh a bit. However, a clean sheet with Stewart and Maley getting some game time (the former making a few good saves by the sound of things) and an experimental defense is a pretty good result. We're still missing Hardie and De Vita who carry the goal threat we may have lacked tonight.
