Sorry and i know i will take a lot of flack for this but talking about the issues does not deal with them. We had 120 fans there and approximately 100 of them let this behaviour carry on. They did not personally challenge the behaviour, identify the individuals to police or stewards or get them kicked if the bus for the return trip. Fans were removed from the stadium were the ejected from the return bus or allowed back on? This is the equivalent to walking by a mugging as you dont want to get involved or watching a girl get plied with drink and not making sure she got home safely. Responsibility means we have the ability to choose our response and not just observe and bitch afterwards. Was at a game down south in 80s when a fan threw an object from amongst about 400 people. To a man everyone behind him pointed at him and identified him to the police. The poor behaviour is a breach of your personal standards and if you do not directly stand up to it at the time you become complicit. Can i break the red card record with this post?

I am very wary of being negative as we need to be more positive but the biggest issue with polly was the manager. Foran took a comfortable premier league team and played people out of position and destroyed their individual confidence. You are starting to see the shoots of players confidence grow . The issue is the hugely negative crowd will impact this improvement in polly especially at home where every mistep is magnified and vocalised. I was embarrassed to be a caley fan sitting near to pollys wife and small child last home game. After the best 20 minutes i have seen him play with brilliant runs his first poor pass was met with criminal levels of abuse. I think he might play best away from home for the next couple of months until he feels loved and supported as the negative pressure currently tells.

Tie in to north coast 500 by using the rear extension car park for motorhomes. Need a little work but might be an option. . . .encourage away support.....

I normally want all the north teams to do well but........ this is so funny.

The post from canada talking about season ticket holders being give the option to buy a team roster number and purchase a numbered named shirt at a price made interesting reading to me.

Whats the formation is cooper left mid and polworth in the hole

How is polworth doing ? Is he making great runs like last week.

Is oakley injured then . Still looking good for 11 points after eight games...

Yup

Its not for the away support its for the people online to keep their fifty fifty as weekly payment. Doubles revenue from online subscribers . Would never isdue paper tickets at someone elses ground.

50/50 draws to be electronic as well as walk up. Subscription with number of lines as per lottery. That way the club generates money home and away and the ticket sellers are dealing with less cash . Alter prizes to include a caley unique items from that game. A signed program with comments from team or manager for away games as well. Costs little builds connection. Mom shirt signed instead of ball sometimes. Ball signed by goalscorer with times date of goals etc. Use the uniqueness of the prize to drive appeal and subscription if always a ball people get tired.

Have we signed someone else after Trafford? Heard rumours but not seen anything yet.

Thanks rig thats great.

Which way you going past perth?

If hes a tremarco replacement.... Thought he looked much better as part of three and although he had two bad passes and could have done with better positional sense for a new formation he done well. Maybe a better centre than full back and that is our weakest position.

Great chris if its underway then thats brill. Just in current climate we can help give the club what we want or we can sit and whinge.

Dont want to be grateful for highlights we know footage is taken and we need a team to edit. Can that team not come from here. I am sure a certain canadian supporter would like to watch the whole game and help trim it and with other people supporting i am sure we could produce something decent from it.

I think the players that have come in are mixed. Seedorf calder trafford oakley better than the stopgaps last year. Chalmers ridgers baird undecided Elsdon currently a bombscare.

Ok i think/ hope we will perform like this, Win qos, dumbarton, brechin, One point from stmirren and livi to give 11 points. Any better results shows team gelling better than expected. Less and we are in a different fight. Livi is now the key game for me as a team in form with lots of goals can we hold strong and compete? Think st mirren away is a game to far and too early for current team. Any points there big bonus.

Not given my view on the morton game although it was one more point than i expected at this time but did want to comment on chalmers. A lot of people praised him for being a lot better as part of back 3 and i think that is fair but the biggest difference for me was pace. There was two incidents where he kept up and tracked quotonga? At least a yard and a half faster than when he played in the preseason. Comms from warren kept him correct and he seemed tactically comfortable. His distribution was better with two wild passes but otherwise good. Just wondering if any one knows where he parked the caravan he was towing in previous games. Huge improvement and interested if others see the change in pace. Something to watch in future games.

Is there any reason we can only get to see the goals on the tv coverage? Is it contractual or just a time and resources issue. When you think about the players we are buying and their ambition and hopes would it not be a big bonus to them to have good quality footage to show off later. I would like to be able to analyse the tactics movement and touches etc from the footage. Maybe pull together focus footage of each player to show off good and bad points and help balance some of the more acerbic views. Do we have access to all the stats collected by duncan shearer during the match. Surely in the digital age video editing could be done by a small team from here based anywhere the submitted to club for approval . Even at a subscription cost the value for the players and team profile would be value add. Any hope of justice and repatriation for the caleyd? Can you give any advice on this?

Sorry i thought he had been coaching the u20 etc before he became manager.

Remember the youth team was managed by ritchie before he got the full job. If he can take tough winning professionals and turn them into frustrated and confused losers how do you think the kids coped. It would probably take them a while to recover. It will take three years to rebuild the youth crop but we now have a manager who has spent the last few years at a very successful youth academy. They will come back and with john they will be encouraged and they will build into the team. Unfortunately we lost the youth players from last two years due to the management. Look at the current subs bench and see the kids are trusted and will come.

As per other post wait for 8 league games under robertson. That will tell us how we are actually doing and indicate what is possible for the rest of the season. The draw with morton was the start but brechin and qos become the real places wins required to get our points tally ticking over.

Everyone has such short memories we slated fisher on here for a long time until he got his streak. We need to give all our new players a chance. I think oakley has been great at linking and holding up play and defending from the front. Biggest issue with the front three yesterday was poor supply in the 18 yard box caused by v poor decision making. They all went to the same positions to did not commit to attack the ball. One notable example was when bell took ball down right and whipped a ball between back pedalling defenders and goalkeeper but polworth had stopped on penalty box waiting for a pass. The gel between the team is not there and the commitment to gamble on your teammate and attack space is not consistent yet.
