Satan

Sounds good... Who is paying? Considering the budget shortfall for players, lack of decent match highlights package, not enough pies at big games, etc etc. How do we cut our cloth to properly address all these issues Kier? 🙄

Confirmed 4th July. Now we need a starting 11...

Think we are hosting Uncle Roy's team the following week.

There will be a lot more options available in the coming days, hopefully our recruitment is casting a wider net than just re-signing everyone who's ever played for us. Sure there might be some options in this regard, but are they the right ones?

Decent section on the latest 'wyness shuffle' regarding this. Scott Young spoke well and admitted they got it wrong with the security and policing - lessons to be learned there. Accounts of some fans attempting to self police some of the pitch invaders was encouraging, but the sheer numbers involved made any kind of action ultimately futile, there were hundreds on the park in less than a minute. With the attendance figure over 5k due to the occasion along with the various discounts leading up to it means there were likely some infrequent visitors or lapsed supporters on the day plus a fair number of those just turning up for some 'entertainment '. Embarrassing or shameful, call it what you will but as well as the awful aesthetic unfolding in front of fans and media alike, there was a real danger to staff, players and fans alike of serious injury happening on the pitch. As touched upon in the podcast, this has been creeping into the game of late, little groups of masked idiots causing aggravation to people (and bus windows) at plenty of lower league grounds over the past few years. Is this a football problem? I'm not sure, it's just a handy vehicle for these types to fulfil their violent fantasies. Perhaps more input from the SPFl is required before too much longer.

Championship football is arguably the toughest, most competitive division in this country. Assuming we can retain a decent core of last seasons squad we will need to add some real strength in all areas. I felt at times in league 1 we lost out physically too often for my liking against average but experienced pros. Whoever comes in , rumoured or otherwise will need to have plenty left in the legs to make the grade. It'll be a test of whatever budget is available to get the blend of experienced but still capable and youthful and fast players from what's becoming available. Again, some wise loan moves will be critical too.

Hopefully any talk of G.Shinnie returning can be nipped in the bud, he's well past it now.

What's that? Near 5000? That'll either inspire us to a great victory or the team will freeze in the headlights😂 Make sure those seatbelts are fastened, could be in for a rough ride.

Eyes have just stopped bleeding. We really are believing our own hype. Gonna be a long week.

It'll be good to see the ground full for this one, hopefully the free tickets will be completely taken up by those Fifers...

Kellacher (with a c) just failed the job interview, didn't respond to Naysmiths changes and could have cost us all the points. Ref wasn't bad, apart from the penalty I thought he gave both sides dubious calls. The longer it stayed one nil the more I saw the resulting draw.

Having finally dared to watch the game on Tuesday I couldn't really fathom how we were so bad. First half I have seen a few times this season where we don't get going and takes us until half time to waken up. We did however pick up towards the end of the half and I felt confident we would get a reaction in the second half...how wrong was I? Not sure if SK takes much blame for the performance, lineup may have been altered here and there with certain players looking completely lost through the game. Found it hard to watch the control , touch and simple passing skills seemed to have deserted our better players - ***** pitch didn't help but Raith coped OK. Pundits repeated the line 'raith were setting traps' which doesn't mean they were outclassing us, just that they were about us in good numbers waiting for the mistakes. I think that's probably the easiest 4-1 they will ever have. I still can't believe that scoreline. As for Kellacher ( with a c) I think he's reached his limit, he could probably achieve more with better players if he got lucky, and there's a decent chance he will be asked to continue if we go up as champions, but I have a feeling he may not accept the offer. I think he's feeling the heat now, and it's showing.

High percentage of our passing today either missed the intended target or was intercepted with costly repercussions. Players off form or the tombola selection preventing vital partnerships developing? Who knows, a poor performance to go with the terrible (but justified) result. We don't have the time for an extended period of navel gazing. This needs to be put behind us quickly, time to focus on the week ahead.

Only one team in it in the second half, how did SK hold off on the subs for so long and then play Willox, who has barely featured since the stenhousemuir Cup game.

From what I could see he was just putting his head down and belting the ball into the box aimlessly in the hope of finding a team mate.
