Congratulations to Ali Nixon on being included in the squad for the forthcoming Centenary Shield Tournament, played between February and April: https://scottishschoolsfa.co.uk/boys-under-18-international-squad-announced/

Watching it back there on the highlights I think it took longer to trundle in than it did to actually get to that point

Big Dunc refers to 'our philosophy' in his post-match interview and I have worried that an overzelous commitment to playing it out from the back could be his undoing. But we were actually quite pragmatic today, playing the conditions well with Ridgers hoofing it when he had to. The second half performance was excellent and if we'd had Carson bombing into the spaces that Spoony and Shaw were creating on the right then I think we would've won. Their goal and the period after it showed that we still have a lot to do to improve at the back, and we also had nothing to bring off the bench. 2 good signings in January and we might be a half-decent side. And even if we're not quite there yet, the passion and some of the football mean it's fun to watch and be part of. *my opinions are based on 3 recent away games - I haven't seen a home game and appreciate that we might be pretty turgid when teams come up and sit off us.

Merry Christmas to all on the forum regulars and lurkers. I wish you and your families all the best for the festive season however you are celebrating hopefully with good food and wine or whatever your tipple is and I hope Santa is good to you

Thanks Gringo, we appreciate you doing this. A very Happy Christmas to you and yours and to all NPLers.

It would have been nice to get a late winner but we will have to save that for another day. An improvement from last week.

Delighted with that draw which I would have taken before kick off. Well done ICT we needed something from this game.With weather was listening to Celtic V Livingston but watching live score for our result.Now no long nails left on fingers.Hopefully ee can build on this result.

Family issues is the reason. And... Late goal for Dunfermline keeps them below us. Happy with point today, After the ***** last week its very welcome.

We actually have a good squad compared to last year's very injury hit squad. We can but hope they are motivated by our new Management Duo and at least grab a point.
