Hope I can catch up on that via the iPlayer later this evening.

What are you going to do about it? Good question and one that is difficult to answer. I don't think boycotting advertisers/sponsors bushiness will make one jot of difference to the goings on on the pitch, dressing room and board. I've not bought a shirt for a number of years apart some leisure gear. My attendance has dwindled over the past few years. After winning the cup in 2015 and the break up of the team it left me feeling deflated and apathetic. It's a 700+ miles round trip for me to get to an away game and close to 1000 for a home game. For me to do that now it really does need a serious wake up call concerning events on the field.Yes, my home games coincided with a weekend away but a poor game would put a dampener on it so I (we) don't bother so much these days. I only went to two games last season (both glory hunting trips to Hampden). I had plans to go to a couple of others but these were scuppered by the fixtures being changed to satisfy TV. I haven't bought a newspaper for many years so the boycotting of those was in place about 20 years ago. Only paper I sometimes get now is the Metro but that's usually in the Winter months as it's good for lighting my woodburner. As mentioned about in this thread, we do have a voice via the ST. The more that join this the louder the voice will be. Those that haven't renewed season tickets or purchased merchandise could join the ST instead. It's only a fiver, which in some parts of this ruined country, is less than the a price of a pint - and it lasts a year (longer than some managers...except BD). To answer the question though, the only constructive thing I've done about is, I (We) have joined the ST.

Gringo Ayr Utd @ 1.85 shite odds but if Dodds can't get us at least a point here, I can.

Welcome newbies. Stick around for the rest of the season and suffer like the rest of us..well...until you run out of 'money' that is. Enjoy the pain.

Off to a flyer....as per 4 winners out of 17 'bets' just shows how hard this game is.

I'm going to need a bigger sofa if this continues.

There's always the Highland League. I saw some great games back in those wonderful Caledonian days. ...a place where, on the evidence so far this season, that we are heading back to. Agreed. I said the same thing a few seasons ago. The team (and club) seemed to break up after that magnificent day. Wow! If we can't beat an experienced 16 y.o 'keeper then we do have problems. Well done to the lad though. We are now five 'proper' games in to the season and no clean sheet. We struggled against a 2nd div side for our only win. Yes we can blame the short close season and late finish to last season but DD should have found his best side by now...if there is one. This will be a tough league this season. As mentioned in a previous thread we need a 'Pele' in charge with the attitude and playing style of 'we'll score more than you'. That isn't going to happen I fear. Looking at the next few fixtures I can't see where our first clean sheet will come from....or victory come to that. I just hope something clicks and we go on an unbeaten run. But, honestly, I can't see that happening anytime soon. But, it's football and anything can happen. I/We live in hope.

NPL Review for Game 05 Not the best of starts to the new season and still can’t keep a clean sheet. Ayr up next. Yes, I’m worried already for the new season. Welcome to the NPL noho and welcome back Immortal Howden Ender [IHE] No maximums in any section for this game. Joonya got the only Correct Score [HT] old caley girl got the only points in the First Scorer section (Opp) Robert got the Crowd Section bonus – 15 over. Robert now takes over at number one spot in the table.

I'm not even going to try and call this one. Having said that I'm not expecting too much. Mon the Caley Jags. The season starts here.

Very comprehensive and interesting. well done to all involved. Lets hope the club read it too.

Mrs Gringo Elgin City v Stranraer draw @3.40 Gringo Hamilton v Cove draw @ 3.75

Went to the last game I believe and you denied me an NPL and PL double. I wonder if we'll be close to the top again.

Likewise, I feel your pain Scotty and credit to you for keeping going.

Yes you can. There are NO restrictions regarding that. However, I'd advise against picking the same as me (when I post) as it'll be an instant loser

I'm not expecting a lot from ICT this season. Mr Dodds is still our gaffer and I respect that. Judging by the limited games pre season and only one clean sheet in those we will struggle. If we had a 'Pele' at the helm then I'd be more optimistic that 'we will score more than you' but, at the moment, that confidence is not there for me. Mid table at best I think and no play offs. Please ICT let me be wrong.

It's becoming a complete ball ache again right now. Updating the NPL is becoming tedious. I will Percy Vera though.

NPL Review for Game 04 Not too bad a performance from what I’ve read. Gives a bit more optimism for the season...maybe? old caley girl gets the first maximum of the season in the Correct Scores section. Robert got the Crowd Section bonus points – 8 over. Scotty is now the leader of the pack.
