I got emailed the winning numbers at time but without details of other winners which they published yesterday. Would be sensible to put both together in email and on site at same time.

I wasn’t aware of that keeper ruling so wonder what we will do for Sunday then? Got youngster Luis Cameron (only 15 i think) or will we list an injured Mitchell or register Kenny Arthur again? Lets just hope Mason McCready does not pick up a knock or get sent off.

Me six (is it?) re Mcbeth at centre back.

And if we are suggesting signings here thinking the club may take on board like Megwa and Grimshaw then as far as I can see Kakay is still a free agent and would be a cracking addition though not sure if wage demands could be met (maybe less so after Clyde loss). As far as goalkeeper goes (though young) I thought Josh Clarke looked decent at Ayr last season when on loan from Celtic so maybe worth a look if available for loan.

Fans are under no illusions what travelling to a friendly entails though. It is a novelty factor of maybe seeing new ground with a chance to see some new signings or trialists etc and at end of the day the scoreline does not really matter or serve long in the memory. Also they will not travel in same numbers compared to a league cup match. To apply that same thinking to a competitive cup match with prize money at stake is chucking in the towel. We still dine off the league cup win over 50 years so are we to accept that will be it for ever more and we will never do a St Johnstone, St Mirren, Kilmarnock etc. I do however agree with you though that the current format starts too early and is also heavily biased to the ugly sisters allowing them their ‘glamour’ friendlies then into knock out round, however thats the same for all the teams who have to play in group stages so who are we to mess around/experiment when teams like Clyde boss us?

Whilst based on what I have saw of him Megwa would be a decent signing have we actually been linked with him as looks more like a forum wish signing. Just over a week til league starts and we have no right back or keeper so not sure the recruiting well over the summer theory is watertight and we cannot afford panic buys/loans as these are key areas even though we have potentially lost out on a payday for not qualifying for next round of cup.

I’m personally not one to subscribe to the thinking that the League Cup are competitive friendlies. Fans pay good money, time and travel so losing to Clyde at home is quite frankly an appalling scoreline and using comparisons of other teams losing equally as bad does not make me feel better. Last night a win would have all but seen us through into next round and now we have to beat Motherwell and hope Montrose do us a favour also probably.

Didn’t we once do an equally embarrassing pass back to concede vs Clyde at Firhill years ago? Think maybe Tuffey missed it?

was there any follow up to winners of other smaller prizes? all i got was email saying the £1000 had be won. The centenary fund at least provided a run down of winners each month.

still time to replicate my username jags

bring on the Clyde 😁

I have never seen a Jags opponent 22/1 for win or us 1/20 on so the bookies know this should be a decent Jags win. By some accounts Edi C got off lightly at 5 vs Clyde so hoping for a right few goals tmrw. 1-0 thistle.
