Hearts Away @ 4.00 - ta ;-)

We would be better with Ray Reardon in my opinion - at least he knows how to play a ball :-)

Definitely wouldn't bet against that happening ;-)

Those are the optimistic posts wait until the others get a hold of this. Will be interested to see where the majority believe we will finish this season. I think if we sneak 6th that will be a really good result as we definitely have the ability within the squad. At present though I more feel a dogfight may be more likely unless things drastically change tactically.

Sounds like an identical playing pattern to the Fleetwood match except this time we paid for the mistakes at the back. Frustrating to watch as you know the inevitable error will come and why the reluctance for wide play in the final third? Is it just a case of thoroughly good square pegs but never going to fit in round holes?

Not long until the season starts so whoever it is should really come in with some sort of pre-season training behind him. Could possibly be a player on loan if at all. Would like to see that position filled also as it does need strengthening especially since Toby was allowed to leave as he did not fit the bill.

Gabby - you're spot on - that was indeed a mighty thread.....definitely a top three of all time if not #1 for the pure comedy element.

Och aye the noo....

The socks are indeed boss :-) Very Kingussie Shinty. Now there is an idea - O'Neill's for the next kit deal. Looking to get into football more and offer a whole range of associated merchandise that is available quickly - now that would be novel ;-)

I would say so ;-) Also forgot to add I thought Tansey was quite effective yesterday and looks a vastly improved player from the one that left us a few seasons back. In fact in the midfield department we have several skilled footballers who can play some very good football.

Christie is definitely a player with potential. Many nice touches and has good vision. Doran looked like he was carrying some excess weight but maybe it is that new strip. Their number seven definitely outran him a few times when he tried to break with the ball. The passing game at times looks good especially when players find their man but at times it exposed us both at the back and when trying to find the killer pass in the final third after a multitude of short passes. It all nearly went awry in the first few minutes with Brill getting away with it and again a couple of times in the second half when passes across the back went astray. The most frustrating though is when the ball is played out and the break is on only for the ball to be played back - across - back - across - and then the opposition have got themselves all back behind the ball and reorganised. The passing game although effective at times will not work against all opposition and we need an alternative to be executed throughout games. There is nothing wrong with passes out to the widemen who can then run at the defence go past their man and put in a decent cross. I thought we looked most dangerous on the couple of occasions we executed that. Also the shooting routine being practised before the game was not put into practise during the match with the players continually looking for the next pass instead when in about at the edge of the box. Having said all that the team performance was far better than I expected and hopefully the new season will not be as bad as many seem to be predicting.

I am sure it will sell well. As our support is made up of more and more of the younger generation each year then a new top to be purchased is a new top whatever the design. Never been a big fan of Errea`s products over the seasons and having now seen it up close my opinion has not changed any - the socks and shorts are ok. Just out of interest is the Errea deal a year on year rolling contract or was a multi season contract signed up to?

Where is that 'shake the head' smiley. It was on the whole better than expected and as far as the Scottish anti-Scottish Journalastic world were concerned a damp squib ;-) As the Pythons once said 'Always look on the bright side of life....' or was it 'No one expects the Spanish Inquisition'.

Shorts and socks are ok ;-)

H-T 0-1

He apparently had an invitation but turned it down to concentrate on keeping his card in US. Right decision in the end. Just gone through the front nine in -3 but would have been a lot better if not for a double on the 9th. A long way to go though but would be nice to see him pick up one of those 3 Open spots.

Aye lettuce not get carried away with all this....
