Onthefringes

Same flight as yourself and some others. As mentioned previously, had planned to visit the Blue Lagoon before heading onto Reykjavik in early afternoon. Looking likely to miss out on both fronts. Tonight Matthew! I plan to don club colours, full kit and mingle when the official party get off their coach and gain entry - Well, it works for Bob McHugh...

I am, I may well do. Interest has been on the wane for some time, their loose claim at the fan/player relationship recently further compounded my indifference.

Have a few who were on the books in recent years covering various shifts in varying roles. Namely, Dougie Ramsay works with a survey design company (owner is the main backer at Troon juniors where he last played and offered him the work), David Gormley with Auchinleck Talbot, Kenny Connoly also junior and have bumped into Ross Forbes regularly undertaking safety critical work of a Saturday night.

Has he taken a step back from being on the clubs' board of directors and the benefits it would briing which he was afforded on his election as Society chairman?

Much the same thinking underboyleheating. Hard to gauge how many are travelling though. The unwashed only took 200 last week so maybe some scope. What's for us won't go past us... Will it?

Poor stuff and flies in the face of what we've been fed about passport details et all in recent times. Suspected the opposition were hanging the pea over this and it looks highly likely. Giving them a chance in the 2nd leg won't have helped as the locals will turn up in keen support. Where there's a will, there's a way... As the referendum hasn't taken place yet, the British consulate may become involved!

Lack of policing and security personnel due Commonwealth games cited as reasons for not playing a testimonial match next week.

Their stance will have changed somewhat given last nights' result methinks

Understand you are not the only one to add about us looking at the ginger fellow, but, hasn't Mr McCall not already stated he was only in training and was likely to take up an offer elsewhere? Whilst he may well have added to the squad, not a priority and definitely not welcomed to the detriment of our youth prospects.

Put £10 on Stjarnan to win and that's right... you get f*ck all in return. Please God, don't let me regret typing that

Our rigid (the clue is in the adjective) system is tried and tested, can you honestly see Mr McCall changing this for Thursday night?

Be careful what you wish for... Whilst appeasing their bankers, he's scooped up most of their revenue source for personal gain.

Nope, Gunnar wore the No1 jersey, taken off as a precaution and handed an ice pack for his thigh. Replaced by Max Currie with another under 20's keeper.

No? Whilst there is some merit in what you say, how do we know he isn't ready if he doesn't play?

They're non committal on amount... They've said NO* one who wants to go will miss out so that's all that matters *provided you've travelled and not those who are part timers can't go for varying reasons

As the manager favours his rigid 4-4-2, he may surprise both fans and the opposition by playing Lionel Ainsworth off John Sutton and god forbid Fraser Kerr on the right. Unlikely? Lionel to remain wide right for me, so I would have Erwin as a starter. He is everything that McHugh doesn't seem to be - aware, willing to go beyond Sutton and behind their defence and very, very strong. As much as I like Carswell, I think Jack Leitch offers us something that bit more. Not blessed with blistering pace, but, a tremendous engine and willing to make runs beyond the strikers which we don't do enough. Dom Thomas will get you off your seats, of that I have no doubt. No daft comparisons to a 'Mini Messi' although it helps United land big fees, he's a maverick in the making. His defensive side looks OK to me in the three times I've seen him this week (I'd rather he concentrated on our offensive) but, Iain Vigurs looked like continuing his vein of form so unlikely he'll be moved to accommodate. Imperative we keep the back door shut, as much as moving Vigurs right, Lionel up top and Dom on the left may wet some appetites, it's not going to happen.

Youthful side on the end of a 3-2 defeat against Arbroath with 2 last minute goals for them. Leitch & Erwin impressive and some flashes from Thomas.

Sheffield United no bigger than Dundee United? Surely you jest?

Bit harsh? Offered a deal he couldn't refuse is the word. Her that worked her ticket knew this...

Out = John Porteous to Hibs. Been highly, highly rated for many years at ours...

And if we progress... We'll have more competitive games no? Whilst we're in the nice kind of limbo that happens to be Euro competition others can have their schedules filled, unfortunately ours cannot.

Planning on going to the Blue Lagoon upon arrival from Manchester then onto Reykjavik.

For one that doesn't quite catch the logic of Uefa at all, how does that work?

Get it right up you

Nope, why would they? Was this minuted? Not exactly Society business I would have thought... Anyroads, some not singing from the same hymn sheet as Mr McCall said last night 'we'll pay it' to others
