Already quite a different line-up from last season.  Maybe Dodds still hasn't found what he's looking for.

This appears to be the most fervently anticipated game for a long time. Last time I felt like this was Lossiemouth away on a Tuesday night in January.

It is noticeable that the amount of discussion before and after games has significantly decreased.  

Scotty will be along soon to prove me wrong with the posting statistics 

And it was Rothes in February...

If things don't change and the level of disillusionment continues to increase what are the chances of some form of organised visual protest at a home match to demonstrate the strength of feeling and push for positive change?.... 

I have twice drafted a suggestion along those lines, and twice deleted it.  The problem is that anything like that is confrontational, and could well make relations between the club management and the fans worse.  Could also damage the relationship between the management and the Supporters' Trust, even if the ST wasn't involved (I am sure they would NOT be).

But, yes, a demo outside the ground before a game, or something inside before a game or at half-time - having tipped off the press beforehand - was what I was thinking of.  If it's outside, talk to the police beforehand to make sure that it's legal and that you won't be done for obstruction or something like that.

But have such actions ever been successful in any way?  I'm thinking about Man U here, and Newcastle.  Dangerous, too - if the management has other things lined up, then they might just get up and leave, putting the club into a worse position than it is now.

Other than continuing to press for better communications, especially via the ST, I can't see a way forward.

Quite the opposite.

AI keep seeing folk saying 'we've no money' yet we have money for sporting director and video analysts etc. Have we seen any notable improvements on the pitch since their inception? 

Quite the opposite.  We have become worse.

We do still have Robbo.  But do we still have - did we ever have - a video analyst?

Unfortunately missed this game as on holiday. Can anyone confirm if we have an injury crisis yet please?

Yes - Dodds is still uninjured.  

30 minutes.  0-1 down, and the BBC reckon that Queen's have had 73% of the possession.

The only way is up!

From a quick skim, it is a very thorough and professional piece of work.  Well done!

I hope you are preparing your PowerPoint slides, because I am sure that the Board will be requesting a presentation from you...

It's now possible to view the report without registering, as we realised some people might be reluctant to do this.

Thank you for doing that.   Your realisation is correct - I looked up your Privacy Policy and your Terms of Use, and saw that I was giving you permission to try to sell stuff to me 

To finish off, let's go from the sublime - wouldn't Citroen Sublime have been a great and appropriate model name? - to... well, maybe not the ridiculous, but certainly to the other end of the "sublime" scale.  Two very different Fiats.

After four games in which all we achieved was a one-goal win over the team that was 3rd bottom of the whole League last season? 

I don't have expectation - I have trepidation 

Confidence must be at rock bottom just now.  If we continue our current form into the early league games, then avoiding relegation will be the prime objective.

No prizes here.  I simply love Citroens!

It's an Iso Grifo.  DVLA thinks it was made in 1968. This article - https://www.classicandsportscar.com/features/isos-awesome-v8-family-grifo-rivolta-lele-and-fidia - thinks 1967.

"... Andrew Yaras’ green ’67 Powerglide Grifo.   It’s one of eight that were built with the two-piece removable steel sunroof panels...",  which you can't see in my photograph

One of the worst on record, full stop.   Sorry, mate, but this troll thinks we have serious problems.

OK, here's something to keep you amused while the match is on this afternoon.

Just one hint - it's NOT American!

I seem to have photographed mostly American cars this time.  McLarens and Ferraris are simply ten a penny, my dear 

Don't know what model of Cadillac this is, but if you fancy putting in an offer for it, give Mark a ring - his number's at the front of it.  Might need a bigger garage though.  And I'd advise keeping clear of the Rose Street multi-storey....

As well as the football, I'm sure that I remember Jackie as an officer in one of the BB companies, around 1970.

And my mind may be playing tricks on me, but wasn't he also involved in coaching at the Harriers as well?  CB would know...

Something for the weekend, sir?

"She had fun, fun, fun, till her Daddy...." .   Though I'm sure that hers would have been a convertible.

A few years younger than my late father, but definitely one of the same generation.  They all seemed to know everyone in town!

Is that Colin Baillie on the left?

What is the interesting blue one next to the Capri?

A Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray.   I didn't take a photo of the front, but but you can find them easily.

Every time I try to post a picture along with text, the text disappears!  I then have to edit it back in

A bit trickier, this one.  Will leave it for a while before telling you what it is.  No peeking at the DVLA! 

Here's the rear view, then

Look again!  I said "No points off..." 

And of course, you, Bodie and Doyle weren't the first to have a Capri...

That’s a Vauxhall Wyvren convertible which I didn’t know they made. 
Now you better tell me the twist!

It's actually a 1950 Vauxhall Velox.  No points off for saying Wyvern.

The twist is that this open-topped model - the Caleche - was only produced in Australia. Vauxhall shipped the chassis out, and the coachwork was built by the the Australian company Holden.

This one is probably more recognisable, though there is of course a twist!
