Kieran Kennedy got a 25 minute run out for AFC Fylde today. Looked pretty comfortable, no sign of his granny hips giving out.

AFC Fylde have had it on their website as confirmed since late afternoon.

One game down and I can confirm he's not a footballer yet. As a Fylde fan, 80 minutes of the worst football ever. 2-0 down at half time, bit of pressure but no goals, game drifting away. One goal back from nowhere but Kiddy clinically running down the clock. 89 minutes, red card for Kiddy. 94 minutes big big fight, one from each team sent off, and looked like more fighting in the tunnel. 97 minutes, a late equaliser. Proper exciting football. Remember that?

Two big games coming up for AFC Fylde, my very local team just fifteen minutes walk from the house (or more if I call in at the four pubs en route). First up on Saturday is a huge game against Kidderminster Harriers which could kill off Kiddy's title hopes and cement Fylde's. A chance for me to see if Zaine Francis-Angol has turned into a footballer yet! Then on Tuesday another biggie when the Messiah/naughty boy Jim Gannon brings Stockport to Mill Farm.

Rangers 28,500 Celtic 25,000 The St Mirren cup game game is listed as 26,709 but some reported it as around 33,000 and I would be tempted to agree having been at all three games. That's the one it was almost impossible to even move at.

Collum was always going to even it up if he could and McDonald gave him that option although it should have been a yellow if Kiernan's was.

Marinello scored the penalty and Taylor got the other. I had it in my head that the penalty was the winning goal, when I looked it had Taylor as scoring the winner. And...what other game?

It was indeed Dougie McDonald.He loved brandishing a red card, mostly at us, and did it with great frequency.

Where's Chris Cadden?

Indeed, Willie was well beaten. Google is your friend if your memory is failing.

Henri Anier just scored against Belgium.

Kirk was a Falkirk player by then and further action was indeed taken. This from the Guardian's Knowledge column...Falkirk striker Steve Kirk kicked the ball into a group of Hearts supporters during an SPL game at Tynecastle and, in doing so, struck a 12-year-old girl on the head. Kirk was charged with recklessly kicking the ball without regard for spectators' safety and fined £250, despite his protestations that he had only put the ball out of play to allow an injured team-mate to receive medical treatment.

Plays for my hometown club. Just moved into a £18m stadium complex with a wealthy backer so not desperate for money. Good little player but maybe a little lightweight for the SPFL.

Hoping to pick it up online, seen one site listing it.

So basically any other club that offers more wages than us and the club won't stand in their way.

Look at the linesman, he almost stops at the first suggested offside which puts him out of position for McDonald's goal. From his out of line position McDonald would almost certainly appear offside.

I think that the linesman's positioning cost us, he wasn't in line which, from his angle, would have made it look more offside.

In his defence, and probably counts for nothing, the referee was looking right at the incident from about ten yards away and saw nothing wrong.

No excuses. No pissing about with formations. Play to our strengths not to nullify theirs. It wouldn't kill our season but in my mind anything less than three points is unacceptable.

95m 10s according to BBC although they also state that Keith Lasley was sent off for a bad foul. The naughty boy.

Paul Mills was the name that sprang to mind when I saw this thread. Played some great games as a sweeper pre-season but rarely featured apart from a notable sub appearance at Dunfermline where he came on for the injured Joe Wark and scored a last minute winner. Seem to recall he played for Falkirk after us before completely disappearing.

I seem to recall the facial injury he received was the reason he grew a beard. This was a great game, I also think that we started with, I think, Colin McAdam at right back and he got subbed off soon after we went two down.

Wouldn't it be respectful to have a minute's silence rather than applause at our next home game. Oh, checked the fixtures.

What a sad loss, a truly great player and a real gentleman as well. RIP Joe.

Over two months after the incident. Somebody's had a long summer holiday. This should have been done and dusted as quickly as the individual player punishments.
