I doubt you can change things midstream. There's bound to be contraventions of the lottery act or whatever. Hopefully it is won in the not too distant future and it can be retuned.

Hopefully the Matchday Commander isn't from Dingwall Polis.

A dated photo immediately prior to the game. Then one taken straight after. If you look like you've aged 10 years then you most probably were there. It was paper tickets. Not a collector but even if I was I reckon I'd have ceremonially ripped mine up.

I can share your concern but feel the number of defensive headers won by O'R & A goes someway to mitigate their performances. Regarding the team/squad/manager a real positive for me is when we lose the first goal I no longer get that feeling of trepidation about the final result, as in other recent seasons. Recent matches against Morton, County and of course our two games v Pars this week back me up. I don't know about the actual stats but tbh it's more the knowledge that heads won't go down (in fact it's often the opposite) and we'll still be fighting away to the end that impresses me no end.

Ah, so no problem there then!

Perhaps we could play the testimonial card here?. Not sure the additional wage when relocation etc is taken into consideration would be that good a deal for Aidan. We most likely have to counter with loyalty to offset.

I agree about Dunfermline flagging but I doubt it would've looked so much that way had Watt have to play 90 mins to the exclusion of Samuel had he been unavailable. That injection of pace coupled with Alec being so hard to handle was crucial. As for Letsosa I agree that it might be better if he was benched on Friday. I can tho' see the reason the manager might disagree. Again it's down mainly to extra pace/movement, compensation for Tony Watt a player too good on the ball to not get a start. On balance Crawford may be preferred but it does mean a drop in pace/movement.

Could possibly have done with Fitzpatrick & Chalmers switching wings to play orthodox. Both, especially Logan, weren't getting anywhere cutting in. McPherson was struggling so much defensively he was never going to add much on overlap. Thought the substitution of Watt for Samuel was the most significant change, maybe should've been earlier. Over the piece Dunfermline were the better side and we couldn't really complain if they'd won the game. That said the pressure we put on the Pars defence those last 5-10 mins was encouraging. I feel we can play a fair amount better on Friday and Dunfermline possibly less so. Not too pessimistic about the outcome.

Sorry. I was meaning in comparison to us. We receive X amount more than Dunfermline for coming 2nd and qualifying for the semi final playoff. But they receive from the extra game gate money (£50k+?) thus decreasing the monetary differential between 2nd & 4th place significantly. Maybe I'm just havering?

Like many others I'd have been pleased if we had signed Dom Thomas last summer. I also thought given relevant injuries he may have been a logical signing in January. In hindsight either move looks like it would've been disappointing. It's things like this, supported by our high percentage of success in our actual recruitment, that makes me feel comfortable with the Barraclough/Wilson judgement. So wouldn't be surprised to see us show little interest in a few well known available players whilst bringing in the less inspiring. An example being the likes of Paddy Reading (a huge success) last summer.

I'm as usual a bit slow on this type of thing. Does this mean we net 57.5% of Friday night's gate? Also does this mean that Dunfermline coming 4th will have already received 57.5% of last Tuesday's gate? In effect the income from that additional game (57.5% of a 5000+ gate) will have seriously dented the difference in final place prize money.

Up here hopefully just about to celebrate Alloa winning thru against Airdrie.

Even so it's still unusual for Fifers to be offering a discount.

Please ignore. Wrong thread and already posted. Good news (I'm presuming), Dunfermline are pricing this game at £12 Adults/£10 Concs/£6 under 18s. Presumption being pricing is reciprocated.
