    Whilst I remain firmly in the give him a chance camp, if we have been neglecting the defence to concentrate on the midfield and attack, it's even more of a concern that it took until injury time to get a goal from only our second shot on target against part time Cove.

    Which is a reason, despite these two terrible performances, we should cut the players and head coach some slack for now at least. If, by this time next month, things are looking no better that might be a different matter.

    We are notoriously slow starters and I am beginning to forget when we last emerged from the League Cup group stage or were rapidly out of the blocks in the league. I am increasingly convinced that a pre season consisting almost exclusively of kick abouts against Highland league teams is a large part of the problem. I accept that, these days, a trip to Italy or Spain is financially beyond us but surely 10 days or so in the North of England with two or three friendlies against Championship or League One clubs is not out of the question. It would get us far better prepared to start the season and would give a fair few long suffering fans an opportunity to plan a wee Summer break into the bargain.

    I agree.I am as unhappy as anyone else and I agree that there is a great deal to be concerned about. However, we are talking about two poor performances, albeit abysmal poor, It is far to early to be calling for a newly appointed head coach to be dismissed or to be condemning two experienced professionals who have signed for the club before the, all important, league campaign begins. There needs to be vast improvement and it needs to be very soon but, especially with fans back in the ground, there needs to be support for the team too. Dodds has indeed much to prove after those two shocking displays but give him a little bit of space and a little bit of time to do so.

    .and we have our, now traditional, end of group stage drubbing at Tynecastle to come.

    Let me know which match you are talking about and I'll risk a fiver.

    Shocking and an embarrassment. Outplayed and outcontested in every department. Our League Cup campaign is over for yet another season before it has properly began. That is immensely disappointing and hugely worrying but not a disaster. What would be a disaster would be to take anything like this form and this attitude into the league season The Championship is going to be highly competitive this season and this form, or anything like it is relegation form and not the form of a side competing at the right end of the league table. We can't afford a slow start to the league season. Billy Dodds, the board and the majority of fans put their faith in you only a matter of weeks ago. Get it sorted and get it sorted without delay.

    For the second game in succession, we find ourselves two goals down to a part time team from a lower division. I was prepared to look on the Stirling game as an aberration. Unless we turn it round in the second half, it is beginning to look far more serious and concerning than that.

    The referee was not brilliant but the loss was absolutely not down to any failings on the part of the officials. We played poorly, we took penalties poorly and got what we deserved.
  11. Kingsmills
    Obviously disappointing and unacceptably slack and complacent in the first half hour. No doubt a bad day at the office with the defence being exposed for more than just the two goals that went in. However, it was only our second competitive match after a disrupted pre season so I am not inclined to read too much into it regards our prospects for the season. Much better expected next time out though.

    Speak to a pharmacist. I am sure that they will recommend something to alleviate it.

    It's great fun. It costs nothing. Come on in, there water's lovely.

    Closest to a home game for me and I could have got tickets through a Cove fan but am respecting the rule that only home fans should attend for now. However, I am reasonably confident that that rule will ease at some point in the season.
  16. Kingsmills
    I agree with Mantis.

    We had a poll on here which, at the time, demonstrated overwhelming support for the appointment. I am certain that had a further poll been conducted by mid season the result would have been rather different.

    Although, the vast majority of posters on this site, including myself, were delighted when Ritchie Foran was appointed as manager. Sadly, the vast majority of us and the board of directors were entirely wrong.

    I don't want to jinx it but personally I am more optimistic and enthusiastic about the season ahead than any time since our relegation. There are probably half a dozen teams in the division capable of winning it and we are, without any doubt, one of them. We have a decent, well balanced squad with just about the right mix of youth and experience and a head coach who has made a very promising start to his time at the club both towards the end of last season and the beginning of this.

    I am double vaccinated and have no health issues that make me particularly vulnerable to Covid. I have no personal fear. Others are not so fortunate. The people being referred to were not being asked to do anything onerous but merely to remain in their seats for a few minutes more. Not much to ask and actually a condition of being permitted to attend the game. Utterly selfish behaviour.
  21. Kingsmills
    Thank for the comprehensive summary helpful for us only able to view on stream or not at all. I would disagree somewhat with your last comment. Perhaps the club does need to tighten up stewarding but the main fault lies with the idiots too impatient to leave in breach of very clear instructions in the face of a still accelerating global pandemic. If they are unable or unwilling to obey the rules they should stay at home for the foreseeable future for the sake of the responsible fans who do care for the safety of their fellow human beings some of whom, through no fault of their own, may remain particularly vulnerable.

    We need to sharpen up a bit in front of goal but that is hardly surprising given the disruption to our pre season. That apart, a dominant performance and a solid defensive display. Considerable grounds for optimism and Billy McKay still to come.

    The First Minister has today confirmed the maximum number for crowds seated outside will rise to 2,000 from next Monday 19th July. With a further easing, possibly to full capacity, due on 9th August, the signs are that we will all be able to enjoy almost a full season much closer to normal.

    I don't need him to play for the shirt. I just want him to play with commitment and to the best of his abilities which, as a seasoned professional, I have every confidence that he will.
