I'd be happy with a point. I genuinely don't know if we will be fired up for it. Post match Stevie said that taking a point from Station Park was a decent result, and he kept mentioning that it was still pre-season (which is evidently untrue, but there you go). The one thing we've got in our favour is that we are a totally different side at home. It's bizarre. Last season I watched us get pumped 6-0 by QOTS, lose 1-0 to St Mirren having started with no strikers and genuinely look like relegation sticks on away from the rock. Then the following week we'd have a home game and put in a performance that must have made the people who only attend home games wonder why we were sat in 8th place! The first 50 minutes of the 3-2 win over Hibs was sensational - some of the best stuff we've played for ages, whilst we finally broke the Queen of the South at home duck sticking 4 past them a few weeks after they stuck 6 by us! To me the manager seems quite fine to do the same this season, he's been fairly open about saying anything we pick up away from home is a bonus if we win most of our home games. Major downer as watching us away from home is an expensive and pretty miserable way to spend every second Saturday. I shall predict a 2-0 victory for Annan ourselves tonight, with the Toddfather scoring both. P&B will then break in Dumfries and Galloway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleslie99 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I think I might head along tonight given my lack of sons games due to work, if it was anymore than £12 I'd be patching it tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Well judging by the os Todd will be playing despite all the carry on about his contract status. In fact it's not even mentioned. Craig Charleston is the referee tonight everyone will be glad to know. So it won't be dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Struggling to muster up a fig of enthusiasm for this new cup format, particularly where the matches fall so early and you can't play trialists. Guess that might change if we can get a win on the board here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's found that we need to pay compensation then that's what we'll need to do. We won't rip up his contract if we're forced to pay for him.

east fife for life Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I think teams should be able to play trialists in the group games and also increase the amount of subs that can be used to allow fringe players more game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I wondered if he might get a brief mention either way. Along the lines of "Whilst new signing Josh Todd is inline to make his home debut" to sort of calm everything down, or something like "red tape issues could prohibt Josh Todd from making his home debut" - though if he's signed now then the deed is done, and we might face having to cough up for him as you say. 2 minutes ago, east fife for life said: I think teams should be able to play trialists in the group games and also increase the amount of subs that can be used to allow fringe players more game time. Agree on the trialists front though I think the subs being increased would make it feel a bit too much like a friendly for what is (still) a fairly prestigious cup competition. Also, we don't have more than about 2 subs with senior experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played against Forfar so if we'd broken any registration rules it would've been flagged up by now I'd have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking to a guy last night and mentioned just that, you'd think if the SPFL/SFA/Whoever had an issue they'd have issued a statement about it, or charged us, or something along those lines. Imagine missing a home Betfred Cup group stage tie with East Fife because you are on holiday. I'd be absolutely gutted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamA Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Josh Todd says East Fife were a physical side last season but they could play! Physical! We never laid a glove on anyone all season, best disciplinary record but we were physical! Wonder what he made of Clyde? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Did anyone else quickly glancing at twitter read the sons v fife hashtag as sons v life and find themselves asking rather deep and profound questions for a Tuesday afternoon? No? Just me then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
