19th September The football coverage includes the full 90 minutes of an SPL game on a saturday evening (a replay of a 3pm ko). It'll be one of the SPL games that Setanta don't go for, so probably the other side of the Old Firm. Hopefully they'll consider us for plenty of games as well, since Inverness is closest to the Gaelic community.

Gaelic TV might take it on as their delayed full game coverage?

Didn't like it when I first saw those pictures yesterday; but when I saw the players walk out with it at the press launch I changed my mind for some reason. Similar to what happened with our new kit!

Surprised Elgin City have taken McNulty on loan, when they already have Ally Ridgers on their books... Going to see them play against Montrose on the 30th Aug, so will be able to report back on how they are getting on.

All of the clubs you have mentioned are top heavy with strikers. I'm pretty indifferent about this to be honest; wouldn't be delighted if he came to us, wouldn't be disappointed.

Shudder? Take your pick... :thumb04: :018: ;)

This is the team i'd like to see line up against Arbroath in the cup; with maybe Wilson or one of the new signings coming in as well. Also delighted that the Dons new signing Tommy Wright had a blank against our young center halves. Brilliant to see that we're carrying on this winning feeling throughout the squad.

I really think it has something to do with the performances of Jamie Duff.

Which one? Rooney? Elliot? or... Bechan? Also is Guy Kerr's loan move to Elgin City confirmed? I heard they were wanting Dale Gillespie on loan?

Currently watching it hoping that they get a few injuries and red cards.

I found it extremely hard to decide who to give the points to, as I would've had Munro, Black, Imrie, Duncan, Barrowman and McBain all as MotM. But I decided to give my 5 points to Barrowman. Had an absolutely fantastic shift on his own up front which was a huge improvement from his performances in pre season. He held the ball up magnificently, chased down a lot of play and importantly took the chance that came his way. I'm glad it's hard to pick one MotM out of many candidates, rather than the likes of Aberdeen struggling to decide on the best of an awful bunch who gets their MotM. Mark Kerr

Quite fancy getting one blown up for my wall Preferrably one that's really large, so it'll be good quality when processed. Would love it to be of the players celebrating the first goal :thumb04:

Arbroath have started the season well in the 2nd Division. Hopefully we'll be going into this match with 9 points in the SPL, with squad players like Sutherland, Wood, McAllister, Lionel, Kerr, Duff and Vigurs all champing at the bit for a full 90mins against Arbroath. Won't be able to make the game myself, but it's my birthday on the 29th; so hopefully the team give me something extra to cheer about, with a comprehensive win.

The night out in Aberdeen was a corker afterwards Looking forward to the new term next monday and seeing a lot of Dons supporting staff and pupils!

Delighted that Brew seems to have settled on a 4-5-1 away system format. Barrowman's performance was nothing short of spectacular in my opinion, playing as a lone striker. Huge improvement from his preseason games!

I just read it online, as it saves money

Are there any facts to back that up? When he was announced as ref no alarm bells went off in my head. To be honest, it's a game against the Dons; we're going to concede a penalty and get a man sent off regardless who's ref ;) :018: :thumb04:

I'm going to guess that we'll have around 400 there. Any more would be a welcome surprise.

In full agreement. Great post.

I like the cut of Barrowman's jib; some positive comments To be honest i'm quite looking forward to seeing the likes of Garry Wood and Rory McAllister pushing for a starting role. It gives me more hope than relying on Callum Elliot and Stevie Crawford anyway! Who knows, maybe even Shane Sutherland could take a place on the bench? *Disclaimer* I'm in a rather good mood and really looking forward to tomorrow. There's a chance i'll be back to being miserable on sunday*

I remember that game. It was hogmany and Rory started his first ever competitive match for us, with Wyness on the bench. Can't remember much else about it, apart from the Aberdeen cheerleaders looking freezing!

Here's what my thoughts are, which i'd posted on another forum: If Brewster puts out the right team, we are more than capable of getting the 3 points. I don't think he will, however. My choice: ---------------------Fraser--------------------- Tokely-------Duff--------Munro------Hastings Cowie------Black------Duncan--------Imrie ---------------------Wilson--------------------- ------------------Barrowman------------------ Brewster's probable team: ---------------------Fraser--------------------- Tokely-------McGuire----Munro------Hastings Imrie------Black------Duncan--------McBain ---------------------Cowie--------------------- ------------------Barrowman------------------ These are the players I think can win and lose us the game.... Winners: Andy Barrowman: scored some fantastic goals in pre season and looks lethal in the box. Decent height and speed. Imrie: If he plays wide left he'll cause Foster problems. Quite tricky and has a wicked left foot. Wasted up front or on the right where Brew has tried him in pre season. Black: Fantastic first touch and range of passing, along with finally starting to keep the head. Needs to move forward with the ball more though. Cowie: Incredible workrate and scores some sweet strikes. Losers: Tokely: Has been rotten all year and doesn't look like improving. Time for him to move aside I feel, but unfortunately Proctor (our other RB) is suspended for the first two games of the season McBain: Does nothing going forward and is painfully one footed. Never liked him. McGuire: **Abuse Removed** started off really well with us, but after his injury became complacent and prone to mistakes. It was no surprise that our defence shored up every time Jamie Duff (Under 19 captain and allround good guy) came on to replace McGuire in pre season games Hastings: Another who's had a bad year. I expect him to cost us a lot of goals by not stepping up with the rest of the defence at offsides. Brewster: Won't make any subs till the last 15 minutes, no matter the score. He'll stick to players like McGuire and McBain because they have experience rather than giving better players like Duff, Sutherland and Vigurs a chance. Game Prediction I fancy us to concede at least a goal, but we are more than capable of getting a few against the Dons. So I predict it'll be a nervy 0-0 half time; with the Dons scraping it 2-1 in the second half; Miller and Smith for you guys, Barrowman for us. I'd love us to get Rooney on loan from Stoke City in time, so I can see him play in the flesh. Let the abuse begin

I was on holiday when week 1 passed. Any chance I can start now? If so, i'll go for East Fife @ 2.25

I think the confusion may come from rehashing Black's Interview in Denmark last week; then printing the story a week later. Perhaps??

A home game for me so i'll be there
