  1. It might not be up to the management it might be this disastrous community committee that has final say.

     

    From what I have read so far, that's not how the committee will work. We'll end up with one vote on the board for matters like this (if we are allowed to vote at all).

  2. The french guy who scored 2 goals yesterday was a forward, but the other guy who scored 2 against falkirk was a right midfielder.

     

    Sign them both! Cover for our strikers and a goal scoring midfielder. Excellent (as they say in France).

  3. Aren't we supposed to register both strips before the beginning of the season?

     

    I'm sure the club knows what the design will be though, so it shouldn't hold up the registration process.

  4. why o why do we always have issues with new kits.

     

    It's to keep the complainers happy after their disappointment of everyone getting a Cup Final ticket after all.

     

    Same with the season tickets. Panic every year, and yet every year everybody seems to get one before the SPL kicks off.

  5. I think an adult looks more presentable wearing a football shirt with a pair of jeans than those you see cutting about in full tracksuits.

    If even there is one thing worse than an adult wandering around town wearing a football shirt that still doesn't make it right.

  6. If a grown adult cuts about wearing a football top at anytime other than at a football match, playing 5's or lazing about the house, they should automatically lose the right to choose their own clothes anyway.

     

    You are not wrong.

  7. He may or may not be back before he packs it in (depending on injuries etc.) but Porter's move to Sheffield Utd shows where the real money is to be had.

     

    No way Faddy is back at a similar stage in his career.

  8. Tbh i'm quite surprised we've managed to keep Murphy, Randolph etc.Thought there would be a bit of rebuilding this summer.

     

    Long way to go before the transfer window comes to a close. I'm not counting any chickens just yet.

  9. Its still not meaningless. Its just non-competitive, That doesn't make it meaningless. It makes it NON-COMPETITIVE.

     

    It's meaningless by Dazzer's original claims. It's only as meaningful as any other training session (such as our game against Falkirk today that I haven't even seen mentioned on here - or is it tomorrow?).

     

    EDIT: looks like the Falkirk game is today

     

    “On Saturday, we will try and give the lads 90 minutes again. The lads who didn’t play last night have a game against Falkirk today so they will get 90 minutes under their belt. That is what we aim to do.”
  10. Yes i am sure they will give it there all

     

    No they won't. They aren't going to tackle too hard, perform any last-ditch heroics, risk life and limb to prevent a goal, chase lost causes or bust a gut to eke out a result. That's the difference between a competitive match and a meaningless friendly.

  11. So we agree then. It's not an "acid test" or a chance to see how the "team competes at that level".

     

    It is, in fact, as I have been saying all along, nothing more than a chance for the players to get some more match fitness under their belts. As a footballing contest, however, it remains meaningless.

  12. I think you might be suprised Weeyin, it might not prove anything to you but believe me the players will want to be selected for the first game of the season the following week! You might actually see some fight abeit be it at 90%

     

    I'll be very surprised if there is any more effort exerted than during the last few weeks of the season before the Cup Final.

  13. Still last night was only a friendly, and Leeds Sat should prove the acid test,

     

    Leeds Saturday is also a friendly and will not prove anything except the fact that the players will be looking to avoid injury before the season kicks-off. If you are expecting a full-blown, blood and guts encounter, you'll be disappointed.

  14. One thing that did concern me was the lack of threat we carried upfront. We are really going to miss John Sutton this season if tonight is anything to go by. Hopefully Higdon can get up to full fitness and become a real target man for us like Sutton was before him.

     

    Excellent. So we can still expect your weekly predictions of miserable defeats this season then?
