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

    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.

     

    The only grown men who should wear a tracksuit in their 30's & 40's are members of the Mafia.

  2. And so it begins...

     

    It doesn't seem that long since I got off the bus in the pissing rain after watching us get beaten in the final, yet a new optimism is in the air! :yahoo:

     

    I can't see anything other than a victory for us in this game. If we play half as well as we did against Leeds (before we started making changes, of course) then I don't see us having much of a problem.

     

    As I've said elsewhere, if we can retain the services of Murphy beyond August I think we'll be more than a handful for any team going forward.

     

    The defence does concern me right enough. Hopefully McCall has a signing in mind as the English sides confirm their squads towards the end of the transfer window.

     

    Still, I think we'll have enough to get 3 points on the board nice & early.

  3. Really looking forward to seeing the kit today :thumbup: Don`t get why we didn`t use it as our official strip this year though, its gona look so much better than what we have chose to go with :angry:

    The new kit is pretty decent to be fair, don't you think?

     

    I thought the 125th anniversary kit looked the business today, all the way down to the old school numbers on the back.

     

    I'm a big fan of the minimalist look though. I'd prefer the retro look every season to be honest, although I doubt that would do much for kit sales.

  4. If we hold onto Murphy I'm looking forward to seeing the attacking partnership between him & Law.

     

    Lasley was also excellent in the first half, continuing on from last season.

     

    I thought both Humphrey and Jennings looked poor today, with a few shoddy tackles by the latter. Big Higdon doesn't seem to be at the races yet, but hopefully that'll improve over time.

     

    If we manage to hold onto the attacking players we have at present I think we'll be giving a lot of teams problems this season.

     

    Another central defender is needed, and I also get the feeling that Humphrey is going to have us all pulling our hair out again over the coming months.

  5. Any time a Scottish team plays an English team, be it a friendly or not, I think there's an added aspect to the game, and certainly hope that's the case on Saturday.

     

    With this being our last pre-season game as well I think we're in for a good 'un.

  6. I really doubt that new facilities are going to attract more people back to the game. The 2 deciding factors are price and product on the park.

    If we did move to the Ravenscraig site, the location would maybe play a part. It's easy to underestimate how far into that area you need to walk from the bus stop to get even close to the new sportscentre, for example.

     

    I don't think it's the best choice of venue. Too out of the way for my liking.
