I'm not telling you. However, I can spill this info Our Development Squad played their first pre-season match today as they beat Lossiemouth 4-0 Shae Keogh scored a hat-trick and Archie Kerr got the other goal. Work rate was brilliant and some very good football played. U17s players Rhylen Harkness, Mark Sutherland and Will MacGregor featured and did well

Definitely robbed of at one pen. Never really in the game until the last 20 mins or so. Hopefully you'll get an unlikely point against Brazil who seem to be turning on the style right now...even it was Haiti.

Do you nnow the line up? Were there trialists or was it all the youngsters?

Man - what a shitty ref! 2 penalty claims that could and perhaps should have been given and a clear last man challenge early on. Seemed to let a lot go but then not consistent. Definitely favoured Morocco. VAR ref I notices was also one of the worst refs in MLS so I knew we would get no benefit or consistency there either. On the plus side, Gannon-Doak was good when he came on and I thought Christie also had a good game. Might have preferred Shankland to Dykes.

Half Time at Lossie and the Dev Squad lead.

I’m sure I wasn’t the only one to be delighted at only being 1-0 down at HT! Looked somewhat out of our depth initially, but had a much better 2nd half and competed well. I fear only scoring 1 v Haiti will be our downfall in terms of qualifying, but you never know.

Oh well, 2 minutes in and we were up against it!

Come on Ryan! Come on Scotland! And I’m ready to mute Ferguson whenever he’s speaking! Why did ITV recruit him?

Very sad news for caley but maybe good news for the alfies. It will hurt if they are loaned to a different championship team.

No mention of Billy in this ,are we keeping our options open in case we haven’t recruited at least one centre forward (preferably two) in the next week or so. A couple of more defenders for cover wouldn’t go amiss either.

Straight from the horses mouth

Sam Nixon has joined Brora.

All four promotions we’ve had, we’ve always struggled early on but finished strongly and well clear of the drop.

Usually open to all. Maybe that will change with bigger boys coming up in the Championship. It used to be those that had bought tickets but think its now open to all.

Is Bar 94 open only to Supporters Trust members or can anyone go in? I am a member, and will be renewing next month, but am considering attending a match in August with some non-members. Is there an age restriction on entry?

Fixtures are what they are - we have to play everyone home and away twice, but to start at home, finish at home and be at home for the new year fixtures is good news.

Aberdeen saying they’ll look at what’s best for both, which may include a loan to a Championship club. We can only hope.

📅 2026/27 Fixtures Our spfl William Hill Championship fixtures will be released today at 12pm Last time we entered the Championship (1st Division) from League1 (Division 2) we were pumped 4-0 by Dunfermline at East End Park and had a man sent off. League Match Saturday, August 7th, 1999, 3:00 PM at East End Park, Dunfermline Attendance: 4,865 Referee: S Dougal The reality of the First Division hit Caley Thistle hard in this opening league fixture as they slumped to a 4-0 defeat. They were hit by an early injury to Barry Wilson and Andrew Allan was ordered off in the 66th minute for a tackle on Brian Reid. Caley Thistle were only one down at half time to an Andy Smith penalty, but were overwhelmed in the second half. A Brian Reid low drive in 61 minutes made it 2-0 then came the ordering-off. Scott Thomson made it three in 81 minutes and Stewart Petrie completed the rout on the final whistle.

Best we can hope for is a loan. Bavidge more likely than Stewart I reckon.

Now there's something I can get on board with! Indeed, my head this morning is telling me that I did participate quite fully at the pub last night.

I've watched more than I had initially intended and am thoroughly enjoying it. Apart from the Scotland and England games, I have watched the full game of Canada v Bosnia and Netherlands v Japan. As a neutral in those games I was able to just sit back and enjoy game. The key thing to enjoyment is to fully participate in the hydration breaks.

I get nervous when they play that way, but it's a question of balance. Yes, they are likely to get caught out from time to time but the advantage is that by drawing in players to press them, it leaves the opponents stretched defensively. You've got to be good to execute the tactic successfully and England were good last night. England have good attacking options down both wings and through the middle. I think it is a good tactic for England but it was a bad tactic for ICT when big Dunc tried it.

No return for Bavidge and Stewart. Signed new deals at Aberdeen.

I tend to agree with this. No, probably not. But, with the bloated tournament such as it is, the next game against opposition of the quality of Croatia or better is not likely to happen until the last 16 and momentum by then might (or might not) give the confidence to overcome. Personally, I'm struggling to get into this WC so far. As yet I've only watched two full matches (England & Scotland) and the second half of Brazil v Morocco. I've seen the goals from maybe half a dozen other matches. Maybe when the group stages are over it will grab me a bit more.

They will get caught out pitty-pattying around in and level with their own box. Came close to calamity a few times last night. Are they always going to be able to score more than the opposition?
