Good game, nice to see a game go straight to penalties, loved the celebrations from roscoe and lionel. Lee Cox the man of the match by a mile, looked like the first player to get on the ball and the one to pass it wisely. as for the other new boys, stratford played well enough, always there to chase the ball, and always there to try to get it in the box. hayes was unlucky to go off and looks like it might be a long term injury as well, he had a couple of nice touches although he wasn't at his best. I think we can expect better things from all three and they all look as if they can compliment the squad nicely, especially cox. the team as a whole could and should have won by at least 5 today, they had one chance and finished it. A couple of under-par performances from the experienced players, just looked like a lack of match sharpness to me. seeing the back of the match programme we were missing dougie, eric, eagles and proctor (three players who form the backbone of our team). one thing i will say that seemed a little astray today was the dissent from some of the players. Butcher was going ballistic on the sidelines and it seemed like foran and mcbain loved giving it back, mcbain getting several verbals in the 2nd half. perhaps it is part of butch's gameplan, but it did seem a little OTT at times. Oh and barrowman was a heap of sh#t but thats every week, so all in all its only another pre-season victory and preperation for a successful season.

In all seriousness they are looking more like half a team, compared to our full squad. I am always amazed when seeing john stewart, have to remind myself that he is still in his twenties. With the 4 newbies, fairly confident of 4 derby wins. Don't think i have ever been so confident of an eventful (maybe not in the end successful) season.

bit off topic, but looking at the county team, i have seen them in action in pre-season, and they look surprisingly like brewster has had quite a large say in their tactics: garry wood up front as a lone striker, when he really shouldn't, and relying on big players to blast their way up the pitch, when they really can't.

good looking squad now. One more defender/goalie and we are all set. championship winning team, perhaps we can also sign bulvitis before tonight and get him signed in time for he cup game. Crowd should be boosted as well. good times at ict.

I'll be there, by myself looking foward to it, pars should be a good test of where the teams at, hopefully a couple of new faces around. away games on the train, seems like a loooooong time.

and i got a free pin badge. thanks from me as well.

good result keeps the momentum going, hopefully the two cup games will also keep the team spirit high and ready for the first. hoping we sign bulvitis, great news bout eagles as he showed his class tonight, and hayes looks a decent wee winger, give him a bit of time and he'll be a key player. crying out for a bit of pace down the flanks and he has provided just that. forres unlucky not to have scored, played well enough, stratfords goal a thing of beauty. starting to really look forward to getting to a football game on a saturday, challenge cup 1st round or not.

hope that injury aint too serious

guessing 6-1, goals from trialists (1 each), foran x 2, Tokely and Cox getting the goals, with someone from forres scoring. (is lewis mackinnon still with them?). perhaps a win will inspire the faithful to pack the main stand for the cup clash against montrose......

dundee, ross county, perhaps raith and partick and dunfermline, they would all bring more than 200. We are the big boys in this division now. Don't see how the away fans would fit into the main stand? Maybe if they went into the uncovered section but i can't imagine them agreeing to that.

i am imagining a crowd of about 1200 would be good work. although the first game of the season i cannot remember the last time there was a good cup attendance.

sounds as though there'll be a decent turnout. thanks for the directions, especially 12th man for his concise attention to detail, i'll be there.

cheers once again for the info, feck knows where i would have ended up. anyone else planning on going?

sorry to do this again, but does anyone know the directions to forres fc's stadium in relation to the train stop/bus station? also while i'm at it, anyone know the position regarding the trialists, ie whether they are still fighting for contracts or whether butcher will be playing some new guys?

david hutton, probably the best goalie in the 1st div, is also around the 5 10 mark.

really disappointed i couldn't make it, anyone know whether the club shop is open tommorrow for me to buy an away shirt?

got mine a while back, arrived last week, disappointed to find that once again it doesn't cover any cup games. At the very least a cis cup game voucher would be nice. 10% of some of the tat in the club shop isn't fantastic.

roscoe's last minute winner against dunfermline that deflected off two players before creeping in at the near post. Seem to remember we were on a pretty poor run from the start of the season, and that goal got us up and running. special moment. brewsters against killie, chested down and a quick turn, before hammering it into the top corner 25 yards out. Dougies free kick away to hearts. Rories lob against dumbarton in the cis cup. marius's first, and last against gretna. dargo's away to gers. any goal against aberdeen. morais's two strikes against the saints. juanjos finish against hibs, seem to remember it was the first midweek spl game at TCS. and plenty more.

reckon its alright, better than the 100 names crap.

have heard from several people that we now have a spaniard on trial with us now as well, perhaps Juanjo is making a glorioud comeback???? unlikely, what with butcher being in charge now, but that would be the best signing ever.

thanks for the info i'll look around, hope the game is fecking worth it.

any other options apart from the supporters bus (i like to be able to move when travelling)?

aye cheers for the info still looking at train prices, crazy costs for a return journey, and there don't seem to be any buses to dunfermline. looks like the supporters bus is looooming.

Looking on google for directions, found plenty for train and will be travelling down using scotrail. Can't find anything for buses though and i don't fancy waiting until 7-30 for the next rain back, and will get lost if i need to switch in aberdeen or something. Anyone know where the bus station is in accordance with east end park?

Why do you think that? Has Grant not shown the same loyalty and passion? What about Russell has he not? Do you know what makes a good captain? :P I would stick with Grant, unless he felt it was right for him to pass it on. Nope, grant has not shown the same amount of passion for the club. In several games last season Munro lacked a sense of fight or reponsibility, not exactly ideal for a man supposed to lead the players onto the pitch and lead them for the 90 minutes. Russel would probably be my second choice, once again not the best player but someone who can get the others rallying around him. Roscoe however has shown that he cares and when the chips were down and we looked like slipping to defeat, the amount of times the man has produced something to spark us into life is immense. (i'm thinking against hearts in brewsters first game and against st mirren away this year). Munro does not have these qualities.
