So where's the link for the obligatory 'sneaky feed'...?

Sounds positive, without being over optimistic. Credit to all those involved.

Matching them fairly well, their right wing is testing Harper. And we have our first injury... More composure in the final third and we'd have more chances. Hearts will take control when we start to tire.

Literally a young team.

I wouldn't expect too much after his comments from before the friendlies, we're still not up to speed and the team is still to gel. No injuries is probably higher on his wish list. Hopefully we get an idea of the best 11starting to come together.

His agent must've been peddling those rumours hard.

Maybe we have , who knows.It's not normal practice to announce every player we ever approach. Usually an agent will indicate whether such a move will bear fruit anyhow...not everyone wants to play for us.

Was that the rangers kid who went through us like a dose of salts last year??

Rated Mullin very highly when he played agsinst us for County, strange how he didn't seem to get the games in the premier...would be a very useful addition with his goals.

Never been to a movie theatre??

Aren't the cinemas open again? Isn't that an indoor performance?

And that was just Kane Hester!

The positive is we are back into training & playing, keeping the squad healthy and injury free while we aim to reach a level where we can begin to see how our team will shape up. Everyone will get game time, often out of position just to get the squad rotating successfully. Without being there it's hard to get any idea of performance aside from second hand reports...which will be very strange once competition starts. Will there be a commentary set up?

Just a kickabout in the park, as JR pointed out, don't read too much into this pre season fare...a lot more of the same required to get the bodies back into the rigours of increasingly repetitive activity.

That's a bit harsh on O'Connor , considering the well publicised demons he has had to deal with since he shot to fame. Fighting addiction and dealing with suicidal thoughts isn't quite what comes to mind when you call someone " least disciplined " . At least he is involved with trying to help others now, something I'm not sure Stokes would bother with if and when the wheels come off his gravy train.

Despite all the above he still gets the odd gig, I suspect he has a top agent...wasn't the same one Susan had was it??

I sat beside Steve Ferguson before he signed and he had nothing but good words for him...obviously not a favourite of the forehead shaving freak Kettlewell.

Good signing for Ayr, managing to prise one of the integral parts of 'the Ross County way' back down south.

Well that certainly bucks the trend, getting clothing and school kit for my kids was a challenge as the 'average' 11 year old had a waist size that my 15 year old only now struggles to get into. It was always a massive operation to find the right leg length with normal waist sizes. ...and they say there's no obesity crisis in this country, ha! We're just a step or two behind our American cousins.

Stokes had several chances to make it as a good professional, but his attitude and application has let him down so many times - it's no surprise that he is one of the journeymen of the game with so many clubs in his career already. He has/had the talent , but is always a big risk as to what you will actually get out of him.

No hate on here, farcebook might be different, but as I don't use I can't comment...

What was the big deal about pre ordering if you can just go pick one up from the stadium now?

So Toshney is fourth choice??

Pretty underwhelming signing tbh. He'll probably do okay but we will no doubt be seeing a few clangers over the course of the season. Thought we may have tried a loan deal for an experienced cb or even rb. Still think this is a good option for a midfielder or forward who can do themselves and us a turn for a year. Here's hoping JR can still pull us a few winners from the lucky dip of the free transfer market.

She will be a lot more worried by losing the potential votes of a lot of 16-18 year olds after her sqa shambles...
