No Shin Guards

I say, which of the chaps should get to put their feet up on Friday night and watch Coronation Street instead?

I know, I know : we'll beat 'em!

I say, Hopefully they'll plant their tatties on their ploughed field after we play them and not before!!

Will be at all the away play off matches! Really looking forward to it!

Arbroath will be the toughest one!

I say, steady on!!  We have to get past that chap Patrick Thistle first.

He’s been without a club since last May. Are you at the wind up or is this for real?

I say, the chap I spoke to before the Ayr game said he was Lewis Horner. But come to think of it he did look a bit like John Darwin. They both have similar accents. Would hate to think I was duped.

I say, a bronze medal being the worst we can get this season.

Not exactly the Scottish Cup, but remember, Lewis Horner is back with us next season

Welsh booked after 50 seconds after a poor touch gave the ball away and fouling the player who picked it up.

Waken up guys!!

I say, Welsh doing a Vigurs?

A difference of just over £28,000

 

I say, with the price of fuel just now I could fill up the Range Rover tank a couple of times with that amount!!

I agree. We might need to look at the coaching set up too.

However, first we need to negotiate the still extremely difficult task of getting there before we seriously consider what we might require to stay there.

I say, We (The Supporters) will be there, but will the players turn up though? 

That's the question as the chaps didn't turn up on Tuesday night to guarantee 3rd place, and some potentially earn a rest. 

Whilst finishing 3rd means the advantage of the second game of the Play Off 1/4 Final being at home, it also means more prize money than finishing 4th.

Well here goes .

The players I'd sell would be Robbie Deas and Roddy MacGregor if we get reasonable offers for them (and it has to be reasonable otherwise the club are well within their rights to reject the offers). 

Then I'd look at offloading Wallace Duffy (Itrulybelievewe can attract better plus he's been criticised a lot), Aaron Doran and Kirk Broadfoot (these 2 because they aren't getting younger).

Then there's the loanees going back to their parent clubs so that would leave plenty of wages available to get in replacements.

That leaves us with a squad of:-

GK: Mark Ridgers and Cameron Mackay 

LB: Cameron Harper, Aly Riddle and Lewis Nicolson. 

RB: Ryan Fyffe (can also play CB)

CB: Daniel Devine and Harry Nicolson 

Attacking Midfielders: Tom Walsh, Robbie Thompson and Harry Hennem 

Defensive Midfielders: Scott Allardice, Sean Welsh and Lewis Hyde 

Central Midfielders: David Carson (can also play RB) and Reece McAlear (if he signs permanently)

Strikers/Forwards: Billy McKay, Austin Samuels, Ethan Cairns and Shane Sutherland. 

Imho our first priority for next season would be to get Reece McAlear and possibly Logan Chalmers (though he's unlikely as I see him getting more games at Dundee Utd) signed up permanently. 

And yes I agree that DoofersDad makes a valid post but it doesn't make me feel any more welcome here, I can't help feeling that way.

No wonder I don't post very often   

I say, get rid of Aaron Doran?

Off with your head, that's Treason!!!

I say, Chalmers and his hair band strike again!!

I say, are the chaps jet lagged or something? 

I say, that would be spiffing.

As, 'Yes Sir, I can boogie'

Arbroath winning today makes it all but impossible for us to catch them for second place, they might even beat Kilmarnock to the title.

Partick's defeat to Raith Rovers puts us firmly in the driving seat for third.

In these circumstances, should we now be thinking of resting a few for the final 3 league games so that we are fresher for what could be half a dozen challenging play off matches?

I say, I posted in 'The Run In' topic Rd this as I thought that was more suitable?

Yes, rest some if we beat QotS would be a thoroughly cracking idea. 

I say, thank you to Raith Rovers for that 90th minute winner. Next time I'm in Raith I'll buy everyone a dram. 

I say, it's a funny old game. We were sloppy, poor and limping along until Carson and Doran came on. 

From hell to heaven just like that.

No Viagra needed tonight!!

We really ought to be approaching this game as a dress rehearsal for the play offs. 

I say, I am quietly confident of success tonight. Have to keep Kyle Lafferty subdued though. The man's an utter menace to all opposition he comes up against.

I’d not picked up on it before, but Ali Riddle and Ethan Cairns are on loan to Fort William. Both are in their starting line up tonight:

I say, good on them. Regular starts will benefit them in their development. Plus one can never get enough of the A82 and some Nessie spotting

I say, it's not the badge on the shirt but the footballing quality of the chap wearing the shirt that interests me.

I also say, same goes for the chapesses playing for the Ladies team.

That’s unfortunate if Aaron is injured again . As far as what else Logan Chalmers does as long as he puts the ball in the net is that not enough to keep him on the park ?That’s what gets points .

I say, I'd have him with us ahead of his other family members, Joe Chalmers and Judith Chalmers, any day of the week. 

I say, did Cammy Mackay think he'd give away a penalty if he used his hands to stop Ayr's second goal?  

Sounds fair enough to me. One thing though, should your name not be 'CELTIC1ICT3'? 

The trip to Ayr was a long one yesterday. Spoke with Lewis Horner pre match. He is rejoining us in the summer. I have high hopes for 22-23 season now.
