  1. With reports that Carl Tremarco is back n the squad, any thoughts on tomorrow's team? I like McCart but he is best in the centre, and he and Donaldson could well be our best pairing. But is tomorrow a day to experiment? If Carl is not fully fit, I suspect an unchanged team. What is the story with Austin? He rarely appears off the bench, despite our lack of experienced players. Anything going in behind the scenes, or is he not fully fit. If Carl is fit, my pick is: Ridgers Rooney Donaldson McCart Tremarco Welsh Chalmers Doran Polworth Walsh Oakley

  3. No one can condone such behaviour. It is good that the club acted quickly and responsibly.
  4. The next three games could set the tone for the season: we have the top two and also Queen of the South, out closest challenger for a play off place. We are unbeaten in 8 away games this season, with four wins, so need not fear County. Where we need to improve is at home, with only one win in nine to date. That is holding us back. There is little between all the teams. When we play is fast we are as good, or better, than anyone, we just don't do it often enough. We have raised our game in the two games with County so far, and been as good as them. I really hope we can come away with three points on Saturday. Soubds like the first goal yesterday was well crafted by Oakley and Polworth bEfore Walsh finished it. More of the same, please!
  5. If that's who we are interested in, if there is any truth to the allegation, we should steer clear. On left sided players, any update on how long Carl Thremarco is out for. I was talking to a Hearts fan, who indicated that a fit Beith could be what we need to toughen up our midfield. Last I heard he was a couple if weeks away from being fit, any update on him either?
  6. I was in front of the person in the main stand who shouted abuse at Polly and prompted the reaction. He was on Polly's back all game, clearly missing the assist and his positive efforts. It really frustrates me. Polly is our best player but, as others have said, polarises opinion. We'd be much worse off without him: is that what some want? He is a local boy: will Mackay and others be getting similar treatment in 3 or 4 years? I really hope not! If we lose him in January, we can say goodbye to any play off hopes.

  9. I'm looking forward to this one. I hope big Coll gets cause to celebrate like he did at Tannadice last season. I'm meeting a United fan for some drinks before the game, we will part at the ground and meet at full time for some more refreshments. I really need the bragging rights!

  12. Is my I-pad playing up? This says the topic was posted in 2013.
  13. Interesting comments. I couldn't make it as flying up from Gatwick, but BBC credited Polworth with a couple of assists. I really hope this gels the squad and we build from here. My only gripe was I predicted 5-1.... Is Welsh injured? Subbed on Saturday and missing tonight. Big game at Ayr on Friday so hope he is back then.
  14. I never thought I'd be upset with a Caley Thistle goal, particularly from Doran, but I hopefully predicted 5-1 tonight and was looking forward to bragging rights....

  15. I'm at a loss as to how we lost yesterday. We had a great start, with a tremendous pass from Polworth that set Walsh up, and he took it well. Falkirk's two first half goals were soft. Ridgers should have claimed the cross that led to the first, and Rooney seemed favourite to deal with the ball that resulted in the second. We started the second half well, and looked hungry, even moving the ball fast at times. Too often, we played it square, and other than Polworth and Rooney seemed reluctant to take players on and drive forwards. Oakley came very close before he scored, and Chalmers had a shot that looked close from where I was. I didn't expect Welsh to be subbed, but Trafford had one of his better games when he came on. He gave the foul away that led to he goal, but it was a very soft award by the ref. How the winning goal got in at the back post I don't know. I think it was another soft goal. Falkirk showed no desire to win the game, and we should have won it quite comfortably, but our defence suddenly seems frail or error prone. Ridgers seems below par, Rooney is better going forward, and we had a back three for most of the second half. Donaldson and McCart were ok, and I'd pair them in the centre of defence. Polworth was the pick of the midfield, but there was little directness from Chalmers, Walsh or Doran. Welsh was fine. Up front, Oakley was trying, but had little service. In some ways, losing the unbeaten tag may ease some pressure and allow us to kick on. Time will tell!

  17. Given the new Austin is out, can I change my first scorer to Oakley, please. Thank you.
  18. Subject to not knowing who may be injured, if we have the same squad as last week, missing Tremarco, Beith and Doran, I'd go with: Ridgers Rooney Donaldson McCart Chalmers Mackay Welsh Polworth Walsh Austin Oakley
  19. I would have gone but we are away next weekend. Hope he youngsters get a great crowd and put on a good display. Is their league table available anywhere? They must be near the top.
  20. A brief stint in Brora then off to Texas! I hope it works out for Nick.

  23. I'm following the text commentary on BBC. Two chances so far, Austin missed one and Polworth had one saved.
  24. Interesting selection. Presumably Doran is injured? Will Chalmers stay left back or be back in midfield? If left back, does that mean Mckay is in midfield, or possibly right back with Rooney pushed forward? A bit harsh on Oakley that he is not one of the front two.
  25. Definitely! Assuming we don't mess up tomorrow, great to have a home draw against an opponent we don't normally come up against. Have we ever played either Edinburgh City or East Kilbride before?
