[Nomads Player Sponsorship]

Hi All - the pledges which flooded in have now became a trickle. Thistle already have £330 extra and David Rowson has a sponsor for his Away top. If anyone wants to contribute to the attempt to sponsor some boots then please PM for details. If we don't raise the full amount then it will be down to a pop quiz on what we do with it. I'm thinking a small donation to One Thistle to help with any of their attempts but it will be down to the majority.

 

Anyway one final push to new and current donors. PM me for my paypal details to give you the chance to win David Rowsons Away top and a pair of players boots TBD. £10 = one draw.

 

£10 more paid by me there!

[Nomads Player Sponsorship]

I'll add in an extra tenner over the weekend!

[Team For Forfor]

With Paton and Balatoni suspended I think Sinclair will come back in at left back allowing Bannigan to go into midfield.

 

………………...Fox…………………..

O'Donnell ……Muirhead…Archie……. Sinclair

…….Welsh……Murray…….… Bannigan

…………Lawless........Erskine

……………….Doolan

 

Subs:

Scully

Campbell

Halsman

McGuigan

Craigen

 

Sorry for spelling Forfar wrong in the title!

 

I think it will be this but with Murray playing very deep, occassionally filling in in defence to ensure we continue to get width from full back positions which is clearly key to the way we are trying to play

[Nomad Player Sponsorship 2012/13]

These are the only tops and boots that are left which is good news for the club. All Home tops gone. For those who paid their money lets take a vote (1 person 1 vote) on the Away top to sponsor.

 

AWAY TOPS (£275 plus Vat) – Aaron Muirhead, David Rowson, James Craigen, Brad Halsman. Ryan Scully, Jackie McNamara, Simon Donnelly.

 

BOOTS (£100 plus Vat) – Scott Fox, Brad Halsman, Aaron Muirhead, Ryan Scully, James Craigen.

 

My vote is David Rowson. Whoever has donated please add your vote asap so we can get the player we want. Still taking donations for boots as we have £340 now so extra £10.

 

Jackie Mac for me!

[Predictions For Today]

The last time we opened our season to Clyde I remember feeling similarly optimistic...

 

Still today we'll win 3-0

[Team For Saturday]

I think we will go for something like

 

Fox

 

Murihead Archie Paton

 

O'Donnell Bannigan

 

Murray Welsh

 

Lawless Erskine

 

Doolan

 

The way we played in the Cup last weekend was very flexible and it's hard to fit the way they played into a conventional formation but think it'll be those players.

[Just In Arr Craib Cup Final]

Delighted to have made the trip up the country for those two performances! Decided to treat myself to a First Class train upgrade in celebration

 

Thought we were just as good, if not better than yesterday, which is encouraging considering it was a totally different front three we played. Really enjoying the fluidity the team are showing with people looking comfortable in various positions.

 

As for the players Welsh looks like he will be a very big player next year; he has a very good footballing head on his shoulders. Bannigan, in the second half especially, is really impressing me and its hard to see him not starting the season in the first XI either in midfield or left wing back. These were the two stand outs for me but elsewhere Elliot again looks like the player we hoped he would be when he first arrived, Doolan showed nice touches, Craigen slotted in comfortably and didn't look out of place at all whilst Hugh Murray and Paul Paton deserve credit for two solid performances.

 

Was nice to see Kenny Arthur and Johnny Tuffey take in the game and in an unrelated note Steven Naismith appears to be sitting across from me on the train!

[Just In]

Really happy with that performance today. Kept the ball extremely well at times and moved it across the pitchwith some fluency upping the tempo at the right times.

 

Agree with others than Bannigan was MoM, not seen him play since beginning of last year but he has come on massively since then it seems. Also thought that Elliot was fantastic, looks a lot stronger than last year. Lawless looks a right handful too!

 

Can't wait for tomorrow now...Cos when the Jags go up to lift the Arr Craig Cup we'll be there

[New Signing - James Craigen]

Looks a decent signing and gives us another option up top.

 

I am still a little worried that outside Doolan we don't have anyone with any experience of scoring goals in this division in our team (except perhaps for Erskine).

 

To have a successful season you feel one of McGuigan, Elliot or Craigen will have to really step up and get us 10+ goals

If yer mad, yer out. If yer no' mad, yer in.

Are then any size restrictions for this? I have an image that I have been trying to upload (~1MB) both from my local machine and after uploading to ImageShack and each time it fails to do so

[Arr Craib Cup]

I'm going to be up in Glasgow for this and have managed to rope in a number of Celtic supporting friends to join me.

 

I've told them that with the the nature of the event they would be welcome in the Jackie Husband and be able to openly support Celtic (within limits of course!). Does anyone know if this is going to be the case or will all Celtic fans be moved to North/Main Stands and Airdrie fans moved to the North End of JH?

[Nomads Player Sponsorship]

I'd happily join in!

 

Do you need to be a member of the Nomads and if so how does someone go about this?
