Alan Butterworth from Margate, SA has a job for you.

We have Benni Macarthy banging in the goals for Blackburn at the moment and Quentin Fortune is coming back from injury for Bolton. But we need to know of any SA players or anybody who qualifies. Let me know and I will tell Carlos Parreira, the new coach.

Oh yes. Arrive in your droves. Drink the cold cheap beer and watch the greatest show on earth with the sun on your back.

P.S Nice to see Scotland here.

Cheers

Expectations vs dreams

Good subject and post Luddite,
The timing is right as whilst predictions about how ICT would/ could get on the CHPS when we won promotion was in full swing, we had no idea what the player pool would really be come August.
I’ve not seen any match so far but the posts back from those that did indicate we are a bit away from being at the level required to compete (and importantly win) in the CHPS. Have we enough quality to replace or improve the player level from last season ? - Far too early to say however I still expect a couple of players to come through the door. Personally I believe we will be tested a lot more defensively, and whilst the goalie and back four will do the heavy lifting here, strikers and the midfield cannot go missing in this task.
Kells roll in having a good season will be important. He has had 20 odd months under his belt now and gained enough experience to take the players he has to come up with the best tactics and game plan to get results, (ideally a few draws away and victories at home).
Ultimately I’m optimistic we can secure ourselves in the ‘middle-pack’ knowing promotion ain’t going to happen, but get results that keep the threatened two or three relegate teams 4 - 6 points below us.
A good season 26-27 season for me is fifth (think it’s possible). A poor one is eighth.

I've been looking at the tdams in the Championship and thinking about what I'd cinsider a good season to be and tbh any finish from 8th upwards is a result to me. Consolidating a position in the Championship and moving forwards from that has to be taken as positive given our recent history. I don't expect Alan Savage to turn into daddy Warbucks akin to Brooks Mileson given his history. I wish for a new owner with deep pockets so Alan can enjoy his success without constantly topping up our balance. "Welcome to the Longman" has a nice ring to it. Come on Deadpool!

Why is our highlights package so bad? You can barely see the players. You look at the East Fife one and you’d think it was filmed on another day.
Their commentary gives it that extra step up also.

Our lads showing Messi and Mbappe that scoring from the spot really isn't that difficult. 5 really well taken penalties. Shame about the 90 minutes preceding them. Credit to East Fife who were very well organised and committed.

Here’s the ict version from the other side of the pitch.
Pressed pause as EF player plays the pass, looks offside to me.
Watching game again, the settings have 0.5 speed. Played at that speed and hit pause, Devine playing EF player on.
Decision :ONSIDE.
