Amazing find! thanks a lot. I have great memories from what was such an upsetting game.

The problem with the Lowland league is that it'll be set up with a bunch of East of Scotland and South of Scotland sides. It has been proven time and time again (more so the south of scotland league) that the East and West Juniors are superior. Auchinleck or Linlithgow should be in the lower league or it's not worth having IMO. The last 4 HL sides that Auchinleck met in the Scottish they have beaten, that to me shows they have one of the best non-league sides in Scotland. The Lowland league should have 2 or 3 South of Scotland teams only, they really are garbage! Fill it with more teams from the Juniors and set up a pyramid system below that but in regions like it is just now.

From the shoulders and neck above Foran looks like he has been stuck on and is wearing a former home strip.

I like it, one of the best away tops yet but i would have have liked white instead of the blue.

Yeah i'd buy one of them they look decent!

I agree that we shouldn't be bigging him up too much. I'm not overly convinced he'll be a great player for us but i am optimistic he can come good in the future very much like Connor Pepper. Last season when we signed Gary Warren i was one of the few that stated he wasn't good enough before he even played for us and now i rate him as our best defender since Darren Dods. So lets just forget everything about where the players come from and just focus on what they do on the park for us. Its a fresh start for some of these players that are trying to get their football back on track. I'm sure some of the players from lesser known clubs will outshine those from well known teams.

Only having 3 established Scottish players does dishearten me a little though. But if the English and Irish boys are good enough then you can't really complain.

Auchinleck talbot v Linlithgow rose today at almondvale in livingston. Also being shown on alba live I believe. Kickoff is 4.05. Going to be a cracker today, Linlithgow from the east region are undefeated all season in all competitions and won their league very convincingly. Auchinleck have won the junior cup more than anyone else and also finished the west region league on top with no defeats. Junior standard is actually not too bad and seeing as these are the two best teams around it should make for a really good game. . There's a few ex caley thistle players in the juniors these days. Hissy is at Bo'ness united and just scored 33 goals in his first season. Paul Ritchie was also manager of lochee united.

It didn't seem to do much harm this season did it? Actually we had no wins in our first 7. Was this to do with the part time opposition? Who knows. Playing a variety of teams should be the priority though, a couple hl games, a couple sfl games against challenging first division sides and a big home game would suit me nicely.

Realistically we will get to the 4th round or Quarter Finals, that's where we normally end up anyway. Every now and again we get a good run but as Mahonio says it depends on who we get on the way.

Apart from it looking Ross County esque i really like it.

That isn't it but its a nice effort. This seasons home top in those colours would look decent too i think.

Knew Shane was away, Rory McAllister springs to mind. I wanted Hogg away a few months ago but seeing as he actually did make his comeback and has done well i'd have given him another year.

who won the caleythistleonline award?

You sure it isn't on Sky Sports 4? Could be wrong but i thought the League 1 playoff final was on 1.

Well my guess was between 8th and 12th and would have taken 11th if we got to a cup semi. Now with the chance of Europe i'd be dissapointed with finishing 4th and a cup semi, crazy how a season can go.

St Johnstone need to win, a draw just won't do them. We'd need to lose by 6 for that to happen so I'm confident we're already there and we're just playing for the highlands on Sunday.

Slightly demeans the award IMO. Queen of the south a well established first division side wins the 2nd division. Not exactly a surprise although well done for the way they managed it at least. McCall or butcher should have received it. Or if county manage the unthinkable and finish 3rd then Adams.

Good top - another theme on the Crystal Palace classic. Unfortunately unless we switch to adidas/nike et al is not going to happen. Too much like a Rangers top....reminds me of Dado Prso for some reason. St Mirrens Black and Red away top is decent, something like that would be good.

Why is the highlands always so backward and old fashioned when it comes to these things.

I think you should be able to merge clubs in football manager...

and when we lost 6-0 to celtic in the league cup.

Andy Shinnie needs to start this one, its too much of a gamble not to play him.

Not a bad season for Rooney actually. Although he's been on the bench for the most part this year he's scored 9 goals for Swindon in 9 starts.

Unless we change our kit supplier it'll be the Away top only that changes. It is usually released just before the start of the season. Sometime in July possibly.
