    Imposter Syndrome

    I feel like a fraud and it is only a matter of time before I am found out.

    This might sound silly and irrational as I have got to nearly the end of university. However, I can't shake the feeling that I'm not actually good enough. 

    I still feel like this. I think its normal and tbh i think it is a good thing to have a little. From when I was at University, to job interviews in my industry, to day to day at work - I felt huge imposter syndrome.

    The important thing is that I definitely feel it decreases. After a while you realise you've been doing what you do for a while and you're good at it - and you think, why was I worried? I'm fine. If you're committed to what you're doing, and you make yourself someone that is decent to work with - it all goes fine and you realise that the feeling of belonging increases.

    From having read some of your posts on threads about your choice of course and your reasons etc, I have no doubt that you are in a very good position to commit to, and work in, the field that you are currently studying. I wouldn't worry too much.

    Only issue i can see with that is toilet/catering facilities for away supporters.

    As i presume with the mirrored toilets/pie shop at either end of the new stand, the ones nearest the railway end are to be used by away supporters..

    Yeah thats my assumption too. 

    My thoughts on it are, with the club having already stated the intention of developing the other corner of the railway end (we were rejected for the grant i think) - maybe a possible idea for that corner would be to eventually add new catering and toilet block as part of a development. It could serve as the facilities for the away end - meaning that the North Stand could exist independently as a home area.

    Edit.  I am of course getting ahead of myself. I'm just very excited to get back out on the NT tbh. SRE does my nut in quite a bit.

    One of the other things i've thought for the switch of ends is Brown doesn't want the away teams shooting towards their supporters in the 2nd half?

    If that is the thinking, I'd love to see him get behind the idea of having home fans use all 3 sides of the terracing when the away support is relatively small, once the NT is open and we can all move round.

    Not possible in games against clubs that'll bring more than a couple hundred, but I really like having the away support in stand / enclosure and having the terracing being used for home supporters - feels like an extra advantage. 

    In the grand scheme of things it might not make much difference, but from a fans poitn of view i think its great.

    Second half was better viewing than the first, that wouldn't have been hard though. Glad to take a point although we really did have some chances for a winner that would have been huge.

    Not much fun to watch but a 4 point gap to 9th and we just have to be winning on Saturday. 3 points and we are getting very close to being safe.

    Still just looking forward to this season being done. Thought Amartey was our best player tonight, was surprised to see him subbed instead of Bryden tbh.

    Can I be the first to thank Ayr for the 10 (TEN) points they’ve kindly tipped up this season?

    More or less kept us in the division.

    Thanks lads.

    You're welcome. Thanks for allowing us 1 at least, may prove important.

    That reminds me, really should say something nice about Airdrie seen as the 12 points they've given us have kept us up...

    Nah, f**k them.

    I distinctly remember being absolutely baffled that David Hopkin loaned him out when we only had about three midfielders at the club. 

    I seem to remember it had more to do with Miller deciding he really wanted to go part time so that he could do a uni course while still playing and maybe having another part time gig outside football. Might be wrong but it was something like that. 

    It did leave us horrendously short in the middle.
