    Hopefully BBG back, McKinnon and Brownlie out plus McCall has a player coming in on loan from England who is hopefully up for training today, I suppose it needs to be a defender if Tunji has left and Brownlie is injured.

    THREE top tier teams exited the Scottish League cup today-Hibs, St Mirren and St Johnstone, which surely proves the point that the early group stage cannot be seen as a foregone conclusion. Those Premier League teams who don’t HAVE to go through this phase of the competition, joining in the last-16 undoubtedly get an advantage by doing so. No doubt Hibernian, St Mirren and St Johnstone wish now, THEY had had that advantage too! If we eventually see one of THOSE ‘favoured’ teams eg Rangers, Celtic, Hearts etc, running around Hampden with  the trophy, celebrating, with ‘We are the Champions’ playing in the background (or something similar) we should also perhaps reflect on that basic unfairness which is part of this competition, that HELPED them to do it! 

    Gawny stop using capitals every few words, your posts are giving me heart palpitations.

  3.  I'd like to have seen the tempo and intensity increased a bit given the league starts next Saturday,  it was still a bit slow and pre-seasony but a decent win none the less. I'm still not sure what our best formation or team is to be honest, we looked so much better when Smith went off and Lawless came on, Lawless went on the right of a front three and Fitzy onto the left.  If we are going with a 433 then is it Doch, Banzo and either Mckinnon or Turner?  If we going with a front three (assuming Tiff won't be fit for next week) I'd go with Fitzy on the left and Lawless on the right. Graham will start upfront but isn't the most mobile, big Dowds puts himself about aswell and Mullen scored on his debut and will be dying for a goal vs his former club. Big decisions for the gaffer for next week.

    I'd go for Sneddon, McMillan Aero Holt Milne, Turner Doch Banzo, Lawless Graham Fitzy.

  4. Earlier in the competition Elgin (I think) fielded an ineligible player vs Ayr and Ayr were awarded a 3-0 afterwards, now Hibs have apparently fielded an ineligible player vs Morton last night, I wonder if they will do the same and award Morton a 3-0 win. 

  5. RIP Adam.  The two main moments that spring to mind are when he came on vs Ross County at Dingwall in the 5-2 game, he skinned a few boys down the wing and crossed in for Roberts to make it 5-2. Also remember speaking to him in the warm up at Balmoor in the playoff final, he came over and told us the starting line up. Would be good to see a minutes silence or black armbands vs Killie or our next home game to show respect.

  6. From watching the stream I thought it was a very sluggish pre season first half, McMillan and Lawless linked up well, Graham looked too isolated just like last year. He needs someone up with him so hopefully Dowds is the man. If we have Milne and Tiff on the left there should be loads of room down the right for us this season.

    Second half we picked up the pace and probably should’ve scored more with Turner’s shot, Smith and Lyon both through one on one. The second goal was a belter with Mcmillan moved to left back, running the length of the park to chip back at the bye line for Graham to header in. Good finish from Turner but his delivery was dreadful all day, he was on every free kick and corner and seemed to hit the first man everytime. Good workout, 3 points and we go again at Legoland on Wednesday.

    Tiff and Dowds out with injuries, Milne not available… short of numbers with only 11 outfield players by my reckoning excluding youngsters and any trialists  

    so likely to be

                                              Sneds,

    Mcmillan Muirhead Akinola Brownlie Holt

                       Turner   Doch   Banzo

                                            Lawless

                                            Graham

  8. If they wanted to have a Kingsley face they should have put it on the inside of the shirt then when we score we can do the Ravanelli! I think it was Getafe who had this with the Burger King face on the inside.

    After Rae was sent off as a player,  he tried to come back to the pitch side to coach the team as manager, but the referee despatched him to the stand. All added to the hilarity.

    My daughter had a primary school assignment that involved taking a story from a newspaper. She found a report of the game and was able to supplement this from her eye witness knowledge. I think her piece had a tabloid style heading something like “No Rae of Sunshine at Firhill”.

    Said daughter now on the Board of the Jags Foundation!

    Belter Alan, Heather has done well for herself since being in the shadow of Armand One!
