  2. I am not going to post it in here but will make sure it gets to where it needs to. You can guess what Ralston was being called several times over after he scored.
  3. I don’t use Tiktok but received a link from a Rangers fan telling me that our young team know the craic. Maybe they don’t know any better, maybe they know exactly what they are saying but the video on tiktok of them after Ralston has scored is disgusting and sectarian. Not been this season since Mackay was appointed, not going to associate myself with this kind of nonsense from our supporters either. Would not have them in the ground if this is how they think and behave
  4. Racism issues aside, was he even that good a manager anyway, don’t think his record was that great. Yes Cardiff, but did he not leave them in financial trouble. I can’t really comment too much as I stopped going to the games (my money won’t contribute to his wages), but I read and hear the same stuff every week. We are a shambles, not overly surprised, we were terrible last season, let a lot of players go, replaced them with kids on loan and a couple strikers with really bad scoring records.
  5. Fair play to Rangers. Swift and correct action taken. [emoji122]
  6. Joseph Hungbo, Watford player, season long loan (surprised, not like us to go for a loan signing). Yes, 6 games for Aldershot when on loan there last season.
  7. Am out, as long as he is there, club ain’t getting anything from me.
  8. 100% decision time for Roy, we were lucky last season, it’s not happening again this season. Time is up.
  9. That was shocking tonight. I can only see relegation unless changes are made.
  10. Gutted to only take a point. Zlamal does not like a high ball coming into the box at all.
  11. The only one still open is The Cottage. The Viking was turned into a coffee shop, now closed. The Drouthy Duck, my pub of preference back in the day, loads of good memories, sadly lies empty and has done for a good few years now.
  12. I have been told by more than one person that both GMS and Stuart Armstrong where up regarding loan deals, is this correct? If this is true and we can pull this off, would be absolutely delighted.
  13. There is a lot going on that really makes no sense to me. I know I am not alone but I really despise this formation/system we are playing; don't get it, don't see what it brings us and it appears to be solely for the purpose of fitting players in. It is the main factor for our defeat today and any team that are direct and attack us with pace will score for fun; Caley Jags next week for one. The back 3, decent players, but to have 3 slow 30+ centre backs playing together is suicide. Are we only playing this to have all 3 playing, I don't think Jim knows which one to leave out if we were to change to a back four Same can be said for the front 3, (all be it Boyce does drop slightly deeper) the 3 do not appear to have gelled, very little link up play. Again it appears as just fitting players in rather than making a decision on who to leave out. Everyone has seen that our midfield is weak. I am not convinced by Routis, he does play the odd decent pass but today gave away so many stupid fouls (leading to his eventual booking) and misplaced a lot of passes. We really need to find someone to strengthen this past of the field Our wingers/wingbacks today appeared lost at times, not sure whether to drop back or stay up field. Gardyne had a decent enough second half but he is no defender and in this system needs to be at times, same can be said for Franks, (Kenny the opposite able to defend but is not a winger) without the protection of a full back behind them, we are exposed. McShane showed last year that he is able to take a free kick, yet today was over-ruled by both Routis and Schalk. Neither of whom even hit target, I saw McShane gesture to the bench after the second one - quite right, I would have been annoyed also. Schalk, dives, he really annoyed me, twice in the first half made opportunities for himself but chose to dive instead shooting. This just led to him getting nothing out of the ref even when he was genuinely fouled. A lot of shouts for a penalty around me, but it was definitely not. Graham, needs to time his jumps better, goes too early, I am not sure if he connected once today with anything that came his way in the air. Jim, surely must see that the system is not working, would love us to go back to 4-4-2 for next week and be a bit more rigid, fear for us if we don’t. Would bring back in Fraser/Cikos and Foster at full back with Quinn and Mceveley at centre half. Mceveley could be moved to left back to accommodate Davis however for me Foster was our most consistent player last season and Davis a month ago did not want to be here; Foster deserves the start. Either or at right back out of the other two. Up front, Curran has to start, we look so much better with him playing, I would drop Schalk. Difficult decision in deciding who to play with him out of Graham or Boyce; Graham in recent times could be seen as our most in form striker. Boyce has been well off form but we know that he and Curran link up well together and hopefully starting together again would rekindle this pairing. For that reason, I would start Boyce. Would love to see us take in a winger (GMS? Not sure if this is true now) and a central midfield player before next week, other than playing Gardyne on the right the midfield will continue to be a problem. Fox Cikos/Fraser Quinn Mceveley Foster Gardyne ? ? ? Boyce Curran
  14. Why are St J fans always so bothered about the state of our clubs finances and budget? Always commenting on it.
  15. Has this been confirmed? Read about him coming on trial not heard much since.
  16. Would love us to get Schalk signed up on a longer deal. Enjoy watching him play, good work rate, gets in about defenders, gets into good positions and his finishing is getting better with each game he plays.
  17. Boyce signing an extended deal is a tremendous bit of business. Absolutely delighted.
  18. Hate, hate, hate drivers that give up the right of way when there is no need, for example when I am turning right at a junction and for no reason an oncoming car slows to allow me to go.......don't do it, it just causes confusion and leads to both cars stuttering forward wondering who is going to go - angry typing about it. Should only happen in a queue situation where allowing one out as you pass keeps traffic flowing, for example road works or coming away from an event where loads of cars have parked.
  19. all about the game
