We drew 1-1 on our last visit on what was very windy if my recollection of the livestream is correct. The last time our fans visited Arbroath, we got hammered 3-0. It will be a tough start but hopefully we can scrape a win.

This could spell the end for Fort William: http://www.hflhub.co.uk/index.php/2753-fort-william-to-play-all-matches-away-from-home They have always had issues with the pitch in wet weather, but this seems harsh to me, and could spell the end of the club which has always struggled in a shinty community.

For me: Mckay Walsh 3rd MacGregor

And I see there is a livestream too mentioned in their post. I’ve had a look but our game is not there yet, just their Saturday game against Kelty: https://arbroathfc.tv/payperview/

What was Gardyne sent off for? How did our back four perform today, particularly Broadfoot? Are those who saw it feeling more hopeful about the season now?

Given McDonald is no 17 in today’s squad, presumably Billy Mckay will have the no 9 shirt this season. If so, AaronCoganShogun gets his wish this season!!

Goals I noted yesterday were Jordan White for County, Andy MacRae and Ali Sutherland for Brora, Jack Brown and Shane Harkness for Rothes and Kieran Chalmers for Strathspey.

Have we ever actually qualified from the group stage? The current format started in 2016/7, so this is the sixth year of the group stages. I’m struggling to recall us ever getting out of our group: anyone know for certain?

HT 1-0 FT 3-1 Hearts Boyce ICT Duku But I hope I’m pleasantly surprised and proved wrong….

He was subbed at half time. May have been tactical as Hibs were down to 10 men by then. Scott Allan had already been subbed following the red card.

Maybe we should play our Under 18s on Sunday…… They kept a clean sheet! https://ictfc.com/wick-academy-0-4-ictfc-u18s

FC Santa Coloma. Never heard of them, but I doubt many in Andorra have heard of Hibs!

That’s me signed up and week one predictions made.

Josh Meekings on the bench for Brora tonight for their game with County.

Another two for Austin tonight. Meanwhile Dean Ebbe is playing in Europe for his Welsh club.

I’m glad I didn’t fork out for the livestream. Sounds like we were good on Saturday compared to tonight, and that’s saying something. I was encouraged last Tuesday with the performance against Peterhead, but Saturday dissolved that and tonight it has totally disappeared. Interesting comments about Broadfoot. He seemed to stroll through the Peterhead game, but I was less impressed on Saturday. Hopefully Dodds has the bottle to drop him and restore the Devine / Deas partnership that did pretty well last season. Sounds like our wide players need to remember to defend also. How did McAlear do tonight?

You’ve a different vessel to look out for on the freight sailings between Ullapool and Stornoway for a few weeks: https://www.calmac.co.uk/summer-timetables/stornoway-ullapool

Cheers Scotty. I will sign up before the league season starts.

Watching the goals back from a different angle, I’ve maybe been a bit harsh on Duku given he had a part in the build up to both, controlling awkward balls and setting the scorers up. It confirmed my view that we had very poor penalties from Walsh, Carson and Sutherland. I can’t disagree with Bughtmaster’s view of the game at all! The club’s report is now on line, putting a more positive spin on things than my experience of the match: https://ictfc.com/match-report-ictfc-2-2-stirling-albion-17-07-2021

Two for Nathan Austin for Kelty and one for Toddy for Dunfermline in their League Cup wins today.
