Elijah Just was wee too, but he worked out OK.

Meeeh!

He seems quite small at 5ft 7in. Hopefully a nippy wee midfielder that scores goals.

Wonder if it signals Manwanhises departure.

I think we will lose 1 or 2 players very soon.

Different figures flying around everywhere with this. Potentially going up to €1m that’s unreal… shows some ambition and a bit of speculate to accumulate

We've done well out of add ons over the years so we cant complain when its done to us. However £600,000 add o aint too bad if we sell him for major money.

Quoted as 350,000 with add on that can take it 900,000,beleive it or not.

There is nothing wrong with having the opinion that the League Cup should be a higher priority than a European tie. Im torn on that, as Id love to see us win another trophy in my lifetime, and I actually agree with you that we only have 2 realistic shots at that every season. Its the ignoring the circumstances that the manager and the players have found themselves due to the turnover of staff at the club over the summer that I have an issue with. I dont think Alfred didnt want to win the league cup. He was just in a difficult situation with fixtures and injuries.

They weren't allowed to do that for Conference League games, but you might get your wish Friday morning.

One of they donut ones for my piles please. 😫

That’s all fair enough and yes, maybe I am a bit of a dinosaur and completely out of touch with modern training methods. I certainly don’t have a sound knowledge on sports science and nutrition and the like. Simply put, in my opinion as a ‘tone deaf’ supporter, I think we got our priorities wrong. Those who are far more qualified than me to say otherwise will probably disagree.

It would be 100 times better if they just removed the seats altogether and for us to sit on the wooden bench the seats are bolted on to. Refund us £3 and we can buy a cushion from Amazon

Glad we took advantage of the opportunity to postpone the game. The players have been full on since the start of the season with 2 games a week, plenty travel and precious little time on the training ground. The break will hopefully allow some of the injuries to ease / be managed and give Alfred a few more days to get some of his ideas across. Hopefully Dundee United will agree to the midweek game being moved. Makes sense for both clubs. Despite having had a very decent start to the season, I dont think we will see the best of Alfred / this squad until the window is closed and the fixtures start to settle down come October.

I'm expecting Les Dawson to walk in wae yon long microphone as someone said blankety blank. Then again he'd be struggling to get in & out of it anaw.

Ive tried really hard not to bite on your posts recently, but you are either tone deaf or purposely trolling and I fear its the former rather than the latter. Football is no longer played in the 80s when the boys pissed off to the pub or the bookies after training. They are highly tuned professional athletes pushing their bodies to the limit on a weekly basis. Physical load is an actual thing, otherwise clubs wouldnt be employing sports scientists to monitor and take care of players to try and prevent injury. Unfortunately this only goes so far and cant take into account contact injuries which we appear to have had a number of this season. The manager was on a hiding to nothing with the Stenny game. He could play a full team, risk further injury, risk losing more players for weeks of the league season and get a hiding off Freiburg home and away. Or he could play some of the young boys, hope we squeek thru and manage the load. It didnt come off for him, and I maybe wouldnt have played as many of the young boys, but that was his judgement. If he had followed your judgement instead of the sports scientists, there is a high liklihood we would still be in the league cup, but every chance we would now be without a fair number of our best players for weeks.

Mines died from embarrasment then fell off, with being associated with such a cheap and nasty seat.

3 secs to stand up, feckin show off, and the small white stickers are the seat numbers, the one on my seat has fallen off already.

2 further points: For our goal the other night, the last i saw was Longelo firing the ball across then people in front of me stood up and it literally takes me 3 secs to get upright in these seats so I just joined in the celebration even though I had no idea what just happened. Secondly, have the actual seat numbers been deliberately covered? Every seat had a small white sticker on it. Cannot recall from 2 other European games that was an issue, in those games I was in POD South, last Thursday POD north area.

Yep, that would have gone well, Booth and Ross v Geeman internationals...id much rather have a go in Europe than the LC. Unfortunately you're entitled to your opinion.

I’m not taking the piss. They’re professional footballers, they are capable of playing a game three days after the last one. The problem we had with Stenhousemuir is that we dropped key players and didn’t take the tie as seriously as we should have done. If there was any game where we should have rotated the squad and played fringe players then it was the Freiburg game because we were never winning that and in the grand scheme of things the league and league cup are far more important to us.

Not to spark any hint of hope but Fortuna Dusseldorf have slipped to the bottom of League 3 in Germany (a drastic demise for them) and are apparently “p1sh”. (Words of my German footballing anorak mate) all I’m hoping for is for us to compete, keep the score down and get a goal for our travelling fans to celebrate. Safe travels for all who are heading out.

There's zero chance it's happening, but I can still see it going one of two ways. Either they'll be happy knowing the job is done and look to cruise to a 1 or 2 nil win, or they'll want to put on a show for their first home game of the season and stick 6 past us.
