Not sure why a professional football player being switched on in the right place at the right time is "dumb luck". That's literally what they train to do. It was Gary Lineker that said "It's not about being in the right place at the right time. It's about being in the right place all the time".

While I understand the attraction of the EPL and signing for your boyhood heroes - not to mention the large sums of cash involved - I still wonder if guys like Gillespie regret not playing more games. Newcastle have a goalkeeping issue right now with their number one and number two out injured, and I see Gillespie made it to the bench today as number four. I guess keepers are more used to sitting on the bench, but going from first team regular to fourth choice non-starter must be tough.

Not surprised.

Hope someone had a punt on Grimmy as scorer today.

Commentator mentioned Maguire and Donnelly both injured (likely short term) which certainly explains Mugabi's new role.

Definitely started on the front foot - just need to keep up this tempo.

Unless GA has lost the plot early into the first month of the season, you have to think there are some injury/self-isolation situations going on that we're keeping quiet.

Although there's lots of other games on that site you can watch when your eyes start to bleed from this one. I'm keeping Arbroath v Partick Thistle as my Plan B.

Playing surface looks as inviting as usual

I'm not optimistic about entertainment, but I would not be surprised if we picked up 3 points tomorrow.

Edinburgh's catchment area is about 30 times bigger than ours.

We have a football club and we have a community trust. Related, but separate entities. No reason both can't be successful. I don't see any apathy being projected anywhere, however, and a lot of this just comes across as an early season rant.

I'm not sure Hibs signing Scott on loan from a Championship club is much different than us signing Kelly on a loan from a Championship club last season. A bit disappointed it hasn't worked out for Scott so far, though. Despite Dempster's original majoriy fan-ownership plan, Hibs are back to running on a rich owner model. We've seen how that can pan out.

Judging by everybody's performance at Dundee, we should be challenging for a title in League Two.

The "signed for Arsenal" didn't blow it straight away?

I've never seen the point of having a keeper as on-pitch captain. They don't have much influence once the play extends beyond their defence. Off the pitch, it's not a problem.

I don't think there has ever been a decent game of football ever played on any plastic pitch - certainly not in the Premiership. At the start of the season there were rumours the OF were going to propose a vote on banning them from the top flight - I hope that happens. I certainly wouldn't put any money into Livi's bank by buying a ticket for this one.

I can only speak second hand via my dad and brother, but they were told all season ticket holders would get a new card sent out to them.

New cards for everyone this season I heard.

You'll need to speak up - can't hear you over the noise of the backpedaling.

It's never about missing what we need. It's always about can we afford it and do they want to sign for us. The benefit of an academy is that we got someone like Campbell or Turnbull for free. The downside is there is no way we can afford players like that to replace them. It's not a simple problem to solve.

Given our track record with defensive injuries, we might need more than that.

Has to be from the war chest, though, so we can swoop.

I'll see your Midlands and raise you Suffolk.

That's a pretty big presumption. Most managers don't give out information like that - and given the current circumstances with Covid, situations change daily.
