The South stand shop never has anything it looks like it's closing down. The main shop will be open after the match.

Mine got up to 9 amd sounded like a 747 on the runway so it's been switched off.

Once again the heat here in the core of the earth that is south Englandshire has caused my perfect draft to go into melt down. Helpfully though I've torn my calf muscle and codeine is doing the heavy lifting for my intoxication.

Cheers

Quick question on the replica shirts and the sizing as I am told they are tight this year. Last year I would be a size large in the training top and the 3 quarter zip top. Any ideas what size home shirt I would need is it just one size up or potentially 2?

I can understand trying Zanatta up front, he has got a good shot on him and he's a big strong guy with a bit of pace. Ultimately Murray is trying things out to see what he can do with what he has got.

More kits in the end of August is the official line.

Don't forsee any more signings until later in the month as Murray will want time to see the ones that have come in and have a tinker with them.

Can Easton play as a forward? Not an out and out striker but in a partnership with Gullan. Thinking a 4 1 3 2. Macdonald Millen O'Riordan Nolan Dick Brown Connolly Arnott Ross/Zanatta Gullan Easton. It could be very fluid with the front five and pote tially give Connel a decent amount of time from the bench depending which of the 5 are not performing in the match.

The marketing and promotion side of the club is half hazard in my opinion. There's no obvious structure to it and things are either publicised and promoted at short notice or you have to get hold of the club and do some digging yourself. This is for things like sponsorship, hospitality and the online club shop. I'll give an example the online shop says that the home shirt and other items have sold out. If you go into the ground yes they have sold out of certain sizes but they have plenty stock of these items and in popular sizes. Now not the end of the world granted but its a revenue stream that isn't being exploited especially in this day and age where people either can't get there or just don't want to but would happily spring for it and pay postage too.

How has this child ended up in the condition they found him in? Losing a child is truely awful, however nothing about this has involved anybodies dignity.

I'm going to hang off on the "knicker wetting" until we've seen a quarter of league games. I think a lot of us underestimated how big a rebuilding job it was from last season. I think Murray is the right man at the minute and he is trying to get players in but is in the same boat as most other teams in that they're simply isn't the player pool that we have been used to. Also we've had a poor pre season which doesn't help, the Berra situation is just ridiculous packing it in 3 days before the season starts. I think recruitment wise the 2 centre half's will be fine and both look like they will do a job once they've played a few games, more so Nolan is in desperate need of minutes. The Negenwya situation is a little but of an odd one and he didn't look comfortable on Saturday he may well be a decent left back if given a run. Millen for me is a less dynamic Liam Dick but it is what it is. Brown looks the best bit of business so far he is capable and gets wired in as well as playing a few positions. Easton I think will frustrate at times and be sublime in equ measure. Recruitment is ongoing so we'll just have to wait and see. As for behind the scenes I don't know enough about that but I don't see any real change from last year.

I think we will see a Millen Nolan Dick Ngwenya back four with brown in front of them. Think there will be shuffle of the pack further forward as well.

I sampled many pints of the T from a number of vendors last night in the cultural hub that is Kirkcaldy. I fear one of them might not have been as pure as the other 8, as I am less than radiant today.

I thinkmatthews and brown could be a solid midfield pairing that will do the ugly stuff.

Aye saw that 55 quid for a fucking Brolley

I'm in a similar situation English wife and kids. I've ruined the eldest by getting her to a few Raith games so that's a misery that will keep on giving. However she's been absolutely captivated by this tournament and has seen an England team free scoring and winning the thing so has jumped on that. I fucking curse Scotland had they qualified instead of Finland they would have played all 3 games within a reasonable distance of where I live and I could have ruined international football for her as well. I've not had the hugely awkward conversation about why Raith don't have a women's team.

Vaughan will have to be used sparingly. He plays at 100 mph amd twists and turns all over the place its just the player he is. That said there's no way we can be risking him.ayimg on some ploughed field in a cup game for example. The other issue is he may need longer to recover from games.

Is the "rumble" Queensbury rules or could one participate with some Brazilian jujitsu?

I’d buy Millen/Nolan/Dick/Young or Ngwenya across the back, Brown at DM, Connolly/Stanton/Ross with Easton at AM, and Connell up top alone. Use Coulson for whichever of Ross or Connolly needs subbed, Arnott in for Easton, Mitchell in for Connell and swap out Young or Ngwenya as appropriate, if needed. I agree with the defensive side of this and brown in the hole as it were. As for the rest I think it's very changeable, only connolly for me gets a guaranteed start these days, maybe even Ross the rest have to prove their worth.

This is not the place for rational and pragmatic approaches to the situation. You need to take a long hard look at yourself.

As a tournament it has been good to watch, France, Spain, Germany and of course England impressed with their performances and goal scoring. Iceland went unbeaten but out in the group stages which is classic Scotland for those of us old enough to remember those things. It will be interesting once the hype dies down as to how much this has raised the profile of the women's game when the world cup comes round next year. Personally I've enjoyed watching the games with my daughter who has been genuinely captured by it and asked no end of ridiculous questions but enthusiastic 10 year old do that. Did the best team win? On the day I think the Germans should have won it in the 90, however over the month England performed time and again, you can't ignore the home advantage but they still got the job done. As well as playing some really good football throughout the manager got the decisions right in every single match. As an aside I find myself strangely attracted to big Mary in goal but that maybe says more about me.

Popp would have won this for the Germans. But that's the breaks in football.

He was always too good for us, but we'll always have that demolition of the pars and the league one title.

Vardy off without a goal in less than an hour.
