As it said on the edit, there was little left to the imagination. Keep it to banter without the extreme abuse please.

Must have been me then, I just can't remember it............

It's official anway that the far side lineman is nuts. Richie Foran revealed this tonight with his Irish drawl after being flagged offside..... HEY, YOU'RE FORKIN NUTS LINEMAN, YE FORKIN ARE YE KNOW, NUTS. Crowd of around 200 at the game tonight. Lots of people with three heads and eleven fingers, no faces, that sort of crowd. Oh that reminds me, LG was there.

:P

Really, is that who I am, thanks for that.

2-0 going on 10-0. Struggled in the first half after a bright opening and Foran was ineffective, right up to half time when he scored after good work on the right by Ross. Foran tapping the cross home from a suspiciously offside position. The only other moments of note were a couple of reasping shots possibly both from Gavin Morrison, he seems to pack a good punch. From the off in the second half we started to pass the ball crisply and to be honest if it was boxing, the ref would have stopped the contest. We cut Clach open every time we went forward and everyman and his dog had a pop at goal, except for Roy who was rather shot shy, but he was my MoM for the effort he put in and twisting runs and numerous crosses. Little bit of afters from Foran and a Clach player in the first half but came to nothing. Nick Ross scored the second converting a Shane Sutherland ball from the left and he did well to hold off the defender to plant the ball behind the keeper. Clach's keeper was the only thing preventing a landslide as Morrison on at least three more occasions was thwarted by the outstretched legs of the Merkincher. Rossco sat up a deep cross from inside the box and Gillespie headed over. One way traffic and the lads were queuing up to score but were denied by great saves and Adam Rooney like finishing. Great save from I think a Gillespie rocket kept the score at 2-0. Roy my MoM, but he must learn to shoot. Morrison good game and Gillespie good going forward. No shouting at any of our players.........how refreshing. Easy win after a turgid first half and into the next round for ICT.

Zogg met him at the stadium, but could not make out if it was 6 months or weeks he was saying and never asked him, but he was convinced it was 3-6 months, although he still had to see the doc again, so maybe things will get better. However, if mfr have reported 6 months then maybe he now knows the full extent of the injury. Thats a pity as, if the real Dougie Imrie turns up, can be a match winner on his day.

:P I must have been made different then. I could'nt care less how many other people turn up, as long as I am there and see a game.

Fair play to you mate. Did not think there was any need for you to be pulled up, it's not like having the old firm fans in our midst. Cheers for the kind words.

No

Why?

Yes, somebody must know.............why do people want to know these things, it takes all kinds I suppose.

Imrie took a sore one, he may be out for 3-6 months, he is hobbling badly just now. First tackle was the one that nobbled him.

Grant did have a solid game on Saturday and saved a certain goal just before half time. He was my MoM ably assisted by Bulvitis. Your header is a bit misleading though.

Must be following Strathspey Thistle in the Highland league.

Aye aye OK guys, keep it clean please, enough of that at the weekend.

Oooh I think a modicum of shouting juice always helps the voice to project from the North Stand. The big definite though is the grouping together of the like minded fans. Having decent stewards and polis is also a consideration.

There is swearing and swearing. I can swear with the best of them. What I heard, warranted or not, was an extremely foul mouthed and aggressive tirade directed at an individual and I was surprised the polis did not intervene and remove one or two of the perpetrators. Kyle Allisson would be a very foolish lad indeed to get involved in this sort of behaviour and I am sure the club will take a dim view of the alleged events that led up to this. I don't think we have heard the end of this and I would be very careful what we write regarding this incident.

Queen of the South in Dumfries. How big was away support............all over six foot I believe............well apart from Johndo.

It was only a pre-season friendly, but did Caff not bulge the roof of the net with an angled drive from six yards at Dingwall to win the game for us, 2-1 I think about three or four years ago, he did the same against the Dons in injury time, before they kept doing it to us.

I reckon we only have three proper strikers 1. Foran.................Numero uno, target man and box predator. 2. Barrowman.........Surely this season. 3. Sutherland..........learning his trade, and coming along nicely. 4. Rooney as a makeshift targetman, he has proved he is no box striker. Odhiambo and Sanchez are surely wide men or foils playing off the targetman.

ESSON ;) Despite Pars long range shooting had surprisingly little to do, but still our number one. PROCTOR Had a torrid time from a lively David Graham, but considering it was his first competitive game he coped well and put in some important challenges. BULVITIS He looks the business. One shaky moment in the first half when half the defence were looking like the keystone cops, but he cefrtainly got involved and will be better before the season ends. MUNRO My MoM as well, two crucial challenges and his general aerial ability kept the Bayne threat at bay. One of the blocks in the first half prevented a certain goal. Well done Grantie. LIONEL Almost capped a great first half display with a shot that shaved the keepers far post. Sliced one clearance high and mighty but his overall play was Brazilliant. IMRIE One stinging shot is hardly likely to release the purse strings of the SPL clubs. Dougie back to his inconsistent bets. COX A lot quiter than I thought he might be, but trust me, this lad will be big news by the end of the season. Keogh like winner at the end gets him that fourth smiley. STRATFORD Disappeared and I thought he should have been replaced, we don't need two invisible players. EAGLE Started brightly but flattered to deceive a little. Always looked busy but not direct enough although he kept possession well. SANCHEZ He has all the tricks and could have scored late on but was crowded out and saw his effort deflected off target. Maybe not yet match fit but will come good methinks. ROONEY One paced, not a reaction box player and lacked the guile to beat the keeper on more than one occasion. Battled hard as a target man but got little support. McBain Not on for too long but showed his worth on the left side. Hayes Nice little cameo from Johnny, much more direct and looks like a good signing once he gets in shape. Sutherland Not on for long either but could be a better option than Rooney although Foran will usurp both of them. Away Crowd Fantastic effort lads, but lost the full house for the tirade of abuse directed at one of our own players. Tannoyman Inaudible at half time. Maybe they have the same system as us. East End Inn Great spread put on for us, cheers.

Just viewed it after adding active x add on. Good quality.

Hold on hold on, you are only provisionally top of the league, you might have to play Livi yet for the points, or will you just toss a coin or something similar, maybe the shortest peg out of the bag...........

I'd rather see a picture of the blonde......... Anyone else rather see Sutherland starting ahead of Rooney. Bit like Gary Wood, he has some neat turns up his sleeve and is big enough to be a pest in the air. I also thought that the introduction of Johhny Hayes made a difference, he is more direct that Eagle and should be an asset when fully fit. We can't complain really, three points, an away win against one of the better teams in the division and no goals conceded. Great singing from the ICT crowd, the Pars boys never started until near half time. I did like the look of David Graham the Dunfermline left winger, he seems to be able to drift past players with ease, like a younger Barry Wilson. All in all, we maybe rode our luck a little, but we had other chances, maybe a draw would have been justice for the Pars, but hey ho, we are off and running so far.
