bughtmaster

yeah he had a knock

and Brad 0-2

Thank you DD you confirmed many issues I was wary about, Seems we may not be out of the woods as yet.................however there can be hope!

i know it is extremely difficult with what is all going on now and what has come before in the last while but i cant help feeling we have yet again to exercise patience a great deal of patience i'm afraid but strangely over the home games we have definitely seen signs of improvement albeit not consistent but there is a bunch of players out there gradually becoming a Team. confidence is still lacking in many areas especially up front. Polworths best attempt for instance was about three quarters of what it should have been, he looked scared 'he would miss the target, two seasons ago he would have lashed it past the Keeper, instead of aiming at him without the proper force. Gaps in midfield where we should have been stronger lead to their goals on Saturday, that too seemed a nervy reaction. from our players . Warren's return made a difference in our box, the inclusion of Raven's experience in there would have been a big plus too. I look forward to Tremarco and Dorran coming back in, Mulraney will learn a lot from watching their play, running, positioning and shooting and Mulraney will, if jhe takes notice, become a very much better player Ridgers weaknesses I mentioned after I watched the Broara pre-sweason game, Slow improvement there still a bomb scare at times but I am slowly gaining confidence in him, he pulls of some really good saves but still has to work hard on the basics, his clearances and clutching the ball. No, patience it needs but I'm sure we will come good and yes the Board have got to get all issues settled a s a p and concentrate on giving as much backing to the playing side as they can. We do need real good performances

You have got that one right C B I agree entirely.

see above

We can always win the Scottish cup lol

I would be quite happy with that and my post could then be removed

I do not think a comment such as that latter half was called for, it is in very bad taste and should be removed immediately.

Falkirk St Mirren Dun U ICT Morton

Graham Rae Former RA student..............isn't that a negative for a start lol.

we have an excellent full back sitting on the bench.

radar working at last keep the echo going

Are we signing McCallum next

thanks, hadn't heard

What is the story about Seedorf..... a notable absentee today.??

The idea is really good Caman, something along these lines would not only be enterprising and forward thinking but essentially beneficial to our Club. I hope that someone will think deeply about trying out something like this, Given the right site, management, staff and a great deal of research there is every chance it could succeed. Of course it would take a lot of money to get it up running and established but nothing is impossible in an entrepreneurial world. There is a real business opportunity there, one that could be a great asset to both Club and Investor. Good thinking Caman I really hope something transpires from this.

Is his scar there to prove it !!!!!!!!

Little to say as most has been said, For me an enjoyable game to watch, some excellent distribution and passingthe ball on the ground, some really good running into space. Who made the biggest impression? for me Seedorf. Really hard worker, clever awareness, good speed and great interception ability I was definitely happy clapping because we were bossing the game, now I want to see this happening against the full time playing squads, the promise and ability looks to be there and with the incoming 'Susan' to strengthen the goal rush we could be smiling a lot more this season. I was hedging my bets too ( I. H. Ender) before the game started, I will be a lot more positive thinking towards the Falkirk match. .Well done ICT. Pity my coffee was lukewarm when I bought it though.

Can't stop laughing at that, you are probably right I was just hoping we had a spy in the camp.

Is there any chance we will learn the new squad numbers before Saturdays match ? With so many new faces I would think it would be of great value to the fans if we do.

I was in a similar position to you Dan, only I had called at the stadium before the tickets were released, I was treated very cordially by a young lady named Kristine who explained the situation and was kind enough to take my voucher with the intentions of leaving my ticket for collection closer to the match day. No complaints from me I was impressed. I do agree however that there should be a simpler system available for us out of town Fans, it isn't always easy to make two trips and after all if you inform the Club you are attending the match then provision should be made to ensure your seat is reserved for you. The ticket / seat, in theory, belongs to the voucher if the Club has been notified by the season ticket holder.

I notice that Dean Brill has been released, what a pity we didn't bring him back, I am very concerned about Ridger's handling and feel we may have rushed into signing him. Hopefully I will be proved wrong though!

As we all know a footballers future is fraught with dangers and uncertainty, I am sure Ross will be weighing up all the pros and cons and will not make a hurried decision Certainly under Foran's regime he looked rather unsettled at times, on the other hand he knows just how valuable he is to the Fans and how much we appreciate his being on our side. It's, as pre-mentioned, the personal terms and his own feelings that are most important and whatever decision he comes to I hope will be the right one for him. A niggling worry to me is whether or not the Board are putting pressure on Robbo to make the sale, so many 'out of character' issues have been happening with the Board recently. Hopefully not and the that as his costs have already been factored into the budget could rule that out.

Watching the first half at Brora the doubts in my mind were synonymous with what I felt last year at the same match. even in the warm up the lack of cohesion and ambition was obvious, however It did pick up when Rice went across to them and got them organised . notables in the first half were Raven, Draper Baird Mulrraney ( though his play was sussed out and made to obvious at first) Oakley showed some promise but ran offside too often. Ridgers I am afraid filled me with dread with his mishandling of crosses in front of goal, flapping personified I would call it , positioning and drilling were much better .Esson however will have to find a solution to his handling of crosses, Ridgers is a tall lad and should be able to do an awful lot better in removing danger. Second half for the team was a different story organisation and cohesion came into play and we suddenly looked a very much better side, confidence grew as the goals went in and we started to look hungry. All in all comparing last year and this I am more confident of getting something out of this season, whereas last season I could not see any promise. Draper must be kept unless he himself is not happy being with us ' He is going to be the goalmaker and came close on two occasions to scoring #himself, I wont pick out notables from the second half because there was a different aura about the side and each contributed. That is, whatever it is worth, my summary of the way we played at Brora and the possibilities I could see for us this season.
