For an hour we were very poor. We improved substantially when the youngsters went on. Honestly how we played is virtually irrelevant in the context of this game. All about knocking some of the rust off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Fitzgerald Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Couldn’t care less about performances and results in friendlies, I thought Dallison was an absolute baller in one of those so goes to show how useful it is to judge players on! (Okay, only one example). However I wouldn’t write the league cup off as pre season. I’d be using these competitive games to boost our finances where possible and give us the best preparation to start the season with. Do agree with most we are clearly missing a right back, a dominant defensive midfielder and a proper striker. But it’s early doors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 On another note, we’ll have some live games on BBC Alba this season. Only issue is that they will be late Kick Offs on a Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night it really didn't until they tired in the last 20 mins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 It was a bounce game. It means nothing. You can read absolutely nothing into it. It gives you zero indication one way or another as to how the season will go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they were there, but it was more a case of new people getting to know the kit and the setup. Strollers have highlights out which were filmed from a high vantage point in the scaffold tower. Our guys were at the back of the wee enclosure and I noticed there were fans standing in front of them so much of their footage will be unuseable. This is from Strollers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it’s 10 in league one throughout the season and can go to a ground twice. Imagine we’ll feature a bit so could be a few 5:30pm Kick Offs.

I'm not saying we will have terrible season but looking at the game in isolation. We looked rather pish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm an accies fan didn't know that was a thing tbh will be good though expect us to feature a couple of times as well if that is the case. Wouldn't surprise me if the league is between us and Falkirk this season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little unsure of the exact details but BBC Alba are doing Leagues 1 and 2 in favour of the delayed Premiership transmissions they used to do every weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't matter a f**k and we can see more what he's about. Carroll should feature of course. The Viaplay Cup offers around £70K for getting out the group, so it matters financially. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Was disappointed there weren't any trialists in the squad last night especially considering we've not signed a right back this summer. Tumilty was rumoured, Hamilton announced him as leaving and have now announced him signing a new two year deal which is a bit strange. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yous will be up there I think. Friendlies don't matter. The League Cup is when we start finding more out about teams i think Accies and Falkirk will be the top 2 in league 1 though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
