Satan

Another issue to bear in mind is with regards to the pre season he squad has been split in two groups for a lot of the early games. I think that does hinder the performance in the first few meaningful games with regards to players getting used to their role in the team, this includes the players from last season if we are trying new formations as well. Sounds like it wasn't very pretty 2nd half last night so hopefully the coaches can get stuck in and sort things out. Is Robertson still banned for Saturday???

It's only a mickey mouse cup, enough to sharpen us up and get the performances up to standard.

Aye, quite a few of them by all accounts.

I heard it didn't look good , historical knee problems...

I hear they are currently exploring a back door into the highland league...

Todorov injured last night?

We got two new kits last year, changing one per season is usually enough for most enthusiastic replica hunters, but three...gtf.

...off topic ?

Surely the new kit will be advertised substantially ahead of our 25th year to maximise sales before the season...Surely?? ?

? I'd expect Dundee to feature heavily in the tv schedule this year...expect a fair bit of jittery pokery with those Friday night's.

Gotta be looking at 9 pts at home at least, need to sort out our pisspoor home form asap. Set the tone for the season. A few draws in Dundee will suffice as them two will be focussing on each other I'll bet.

Todorovs been round a few clubs already for such a young lad - is he too young to be a journeyman?

We still need an extra player or two, would be interesting to see how season tickets have sold, if there is progress on stadium (and shirt) sponsorships etc. If we can finance a player with a little bit extra then it could bode well for the coming season. If not it could be that we struggle again, especially if we try to compete on every front, which as we all know doesn't work with a squad our size.

I think Roy's holding onto his dollars a bit more these days...unless it's paying off a management team or mid season transfer window shopping - the wallet is a not as generous as it used to be.

Sense, at last.

Could be very decisive if we haven't taken care of business by then. Anyway no point complaining yet - season hasn't started.

We'll find out next season how the new guys get on, but I expected more from Storey after he moved on - I guess he did well with good players around him here, but then that doesn't explain his dire spell at Aberdeen with good players. Poor with Partick in both leagues as well. I liked the guy when he was with us, but he's no legend, seems to have been idolized purely for his derby performances. There is a very small bunch of players I would take back - he's just not in it.

Think he'd do better on X factor, or maybe BGT!

Pi 's just not what they used to be.

A meaningless fixture against a highland league team will not do anyone any good, clearly. The HL team will not want to get any injuries to players in what is basically a kick about so there will be no real intensity - and this level of competition is no use for our youngsters, it would barely be enough for rehabbing injured players. I doubt they would be that happy to pay players for these games either as it's not really going to draw much of a crowd either is it?

I'd expect a new look squad with a few of last year's u18's. Get the new players integrated and the young ones experience. I'd hope we could win / compete on most of the games but I'd rather it was a warm up for the league season proper. Mickey mouse!

GIRUY. Justice is done.

The commentary team have noted this also...seems United have a guardian Angel looking after them in all 4 play off games.

Jakey boy starting at Hampden today.

Thought I saw two guys from dingwall eyeing it up for tatties.
