Ayr United v Raith Rovers
Heid_The_Baw replied to AUcal's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
I wont be down for the game. I love Somerset too. A proper football ground. Always good pre match too. However, I refuse to go. Not been for about 10 years and prior to that I had been down there over 20 times and saw us win there ONCE. I'll keep the jinx away. -

Relegation thread - who's going down?

Aye me for a kick off. Was a glorious day when we shunted the rapist signer. Most over rated manager in decades. L1 is deffo his level. Glad we've got a decent young manager now that while he is finding his way and making some errors doing so, is looking like taking us up possibly this season but certainly will within 3. -
Right, positive heid on. Tough one to call, as its do or die for Rovers, and a draw suits them better. Hopefully the week off last week did them the world of good. United don't concede many, and it really depends if our kamikazee defending has been put to bed or not. 1-0 win to the Rovers. Super Sam to score it on his return!

Look forward to the home end of the railway stand being converted into a safe standing area. Rail seating to be fitted (not that the seats will ever be used lol) but the crush barrier built in. Been like this for a long time in Germany and is very successful. The concrete will need to be removed and regulation width terracing built to accommodate the rail seating as the current concrete is rotten and also not wide enough steps to accomodate safe standing. I will be moving into there with my season tickets when it opens. I have hated Starks Park since they removed the terracing and replaced with the monstrosities behind each goal. It will be brilliant to watch the game how it should be. Standing up and from the side of the pitch. Another bonus will be pressurising the linesmen like used to happen, especially be good when that Tory 'leader' b@rsteward is running the line.... -

The FFP are probably still running with our 2nd game of the season they are so much 'up to date'. -

I work in IT, and trust me - the amount of numpties that print out every email they receive is astounding! They are kept on the M365 server you nutters!!! More likely is the latter. Bad show if it is true. Also, point 2, accessing a laptop that is not yours is a sackable offence in most employers. It is misappropriation of IT equipment, and goes down as a GDPR incident which the club would then be obliged to report itself, and accept a fine because of it. Incidentally, at my employer, if someone used someone else's laptop, both the laptop 'owner' and the one accessing it would be sacked. The 'owner' for leaving it open and not locking the desktop, and the accessor for breaking GDPR law and company IT policy. -

Bored at work so been on Transfermarket. It seems that there are a few players without clubs. One notee is John Frederiksen. Released by Armden or whatever they are called - they signed him after we released him. Not much of a helicopter after all. Anyway, as we still need defenders, thought I would have a look at what are available on a free, seeing as we only have that option or loanees from the Premiershit. Richard Tait RB 34 Was St Mirren. Been at Motherwell, and bounced about lower leagues in England. Jake Carroll LB 32 Irish, Motherwell and lower league England Matt Penney LB 25 English, was Ipswich, previously Motherwell Darren Brownlie CH 29 was Dundalk, formerly Partick and QOS Never heard of any of them, but might be short termers till the end of the season as they all are looking for clubs...... Anybody any insights into them? -
Best away day in the Championship.
Heid_The_Baw replied to DiegoDiego's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Got to be Arbroath. A PROPER football ground, watching football from a terrace. Decent supporters who you can have a chat with. Decent pie. Grab a few smokies for taking home too. The rest don't even merit a mention..... Worst for me would be Ayr. Don't get me wrong, a decent proper football ground, but over 2 hours to come home with a beating as usual......? (I've been to Somerset over 20 times and saw us win there ONCE). Not been for a few years. -
Sibbald is an animal right enough. In the game at Tannadire he was going for legs rather than the ball and eventually got booked. Could have been more for persistence. Anyhow, speaking of animals, the Rovers are a wounded animal right now, and animals are at their most dangerous when wounded or cornered (both apply).

That was the last time we had 5 defeats in a row....... In 2014/15 within last 6 games of the season. Grant Murray in charge. Unsurprising the last time we were 6 or more defeats in a row........ When we were due to become Scotlands 3rd force. Yup, the ANELKA dark ages. When we went 7 defeats in a row!! Season 2004/2005 Anyhow, it is what it is. We now have to look forward, and back the team. It's not our defenders faults that they are really not good enough for top of the league, but the manager seems to think so. We all know we need to strengthen CH and FBs but what can we do. Unless its going to be a youngster from a Prem club our hands are tied. Not telling e its better to play another clubs youngster than Corr, who has never had a bad game that I can remember....... -

I was being toungue in cheek, while also highlighting a point that the club could make money... They could call it the sexy big tits arena I would still always call it Starks Park though. -

What a difference in the numbers tbh. Just shows how things can change for the better when you have the right people in the right jobs. Good on the board. The Fife Gretna nonsense quoted by our rivals can get shoved right up their collective arses. Now, what about a defender coming in before 1130pm guys????? Sort the pitch issues too! -

Also wonder why Corr isnt getting a game. The lad is tall, and strong. I honestly cannot think of him having a bad game when he has had the chance. Bit of trivia - he is the son of Barry-John Corr. Ex Celtic player from a wee while back. He is also my bosses nephew.... -

Announcement 31st January 2024 Starks Park will now be known as the Skoda Stadium after the club agreed to a sponsorship deal with the Czech car manufacturer. -Like Skodas, every winter we choke, breakdown and need a push start. -

4132 for me. using what is available now, and assuming we sign Rudden). Dabrowski Millen Watson Murray Dick Byrne Connolly Easton Vaughan Hamilton Rudden (if he signs, if not Smith) Yup, means the captain is dropped for now but thats also assuming the scarlet pimpernel Watson is back. Watcon wont last 90 anyway so Broonie can fill in there after Watson comes off. -
