Radford 72 Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 For some generations of Saints supporters, trips to Palmerston were very much the norm but for any fans not yet of age where you can buy drain cleaner in B&Q, they will only remember the one visit, our meek surrender of the Scottish Cup in 2015. Some great games between the teams in the noughties but never an easy place to go. One man who regularly tormented us was Stephen Dobbie and, after spells down south, he's back in Dumfries and still looking as dangerous as ever. With the mercurial Gary Harkins also in their ranks, plenty for Saints to be wary of. I think Tommy Wright will match them up 4-4-2, in the hope that the better players, in theory, win the game. Probably the only decision he has to make if he does go that way is who his centre backs will be. Shaughnessy got 90 minutes on Wednesday night; good for his fitness but probably means another full game is beyond him at this stage in his recovery. Given it's a plastic pitch and the fact Anderson has missed some training this week, I'll guess we'll be back to Gordon and Kerr, the former more than meriting another opportunity after being left out against Hibs. Clark Foster - Gordon - Kerr - Tanser Wright - Davidson - Craig - Kennedy McMillan - Watt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garydavidson Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Jason Kerr has plenty of experience on how that pitch plays so I would imagine he will be a starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinky dink Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 What pub is the norm for Saints fans down there? If anyone is thinkin of going from Edinburgh there's a Stagecoach service 102 that leaves at 09:28 and gets in at 12:25, and there's one leaving at 18:15 hr gets back at 20:58 - £18 return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOODLUM65 Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Public warning for those going by train. Be mindful where you sit, as there may be a set of bagpipes vying for the seat, en-route to the World pipe band Championships in Glasgow. C.o.y.s.

sleepless Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 last time I was in Dumfries (that terrible day in 2015) pretty much the only pub that had more than a couple of old blokes and a dog in it was the Weatherspoon's. Looks like a nice morning for a drive north... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
