Happy Birthday John! I hope you have a great day!

Happy Birthday John! I hope you have a great day!

Used to get dressed up to go to the pictures or the dancing now it’s to go to a doctors appointment 😂. Canny complain I’ll be 86 next month still getting about.

About 3 hours on the jet from Inuvik, couple hours drive from Tuk to Inuvik. She’s good, type of bloodwork she went for they can’t do it up here

Ideally I'd have liked them to make the format a bit more convoluted. I always feel that really adds something to a tournament.

You might’ve been confused with me on the old dogger podcast saying I’d have approached him after Davidson left. Was doing a blinding job at Aberdeen then and had no sign of a permanent offer. 
 
Just as well no **** listens to me! 😂

Aye..... 

I thought I'd give a mention to the commentator Sam, who does an excellent job.
It's not easy to keep that up for the whole game on his own, but that's exactly what he does.
It would be helpful for him if the club would provide him with a player to be alongside him. It would give him a chance to take a breather and hopefully get some expert comments.
I know that if I've ever been at a game with an actual professional, they get things in the game that I don't.
And that's the point. A summariser, pundit, co-commentator, whatever you want to call them, should be there to offer their expert opinion and give you more of an idea of what's actually going on.
That's why I always believe it should always be a commentator and a current, or ex professional as the commentary team.
A shout out to Watty as well of course, but I thought I'd single out Sam as once again he was on his own yesterday.

More direct, passed well, tackled well. Seemed to have more about him.

Great weekend, was at Elland Road on Friday night, where I witnessed an almost perfect Whites performance, and this was capped off when Saints were victorious in the Battle of Greenock.

I think this is a great idea.
As for the discussion of the price, it's not an actual share on the market offering. It's a token gesture, a chance to officially own a bit of the club. You can even go to the AGM if you wanted to.
I'm certainly getting one, and a gift for a family member as well.

Only Ross County and Morton did that for me. Ayr were the better side, as were Arbroath.
I'm not referring to them camping around the box, more that managers have studied us and identified areas that they can use against us.

Looking forward to the match.  Will be picking my lad up in Sheffield at about 7am and, all being well, 6hrs later arrive Arbroath.  It’s the return journey that will be knackering.  Here’s hoping we do it with a Saints win under the belt.

Agree with above, however, Ali has been away for 4 years now? Arguably playing a higher level of football than he would be in the Premier League in Scotland. He's probably now spent more time in Preston's first team than he did in ours - with the potential he showed at Saints, I think it was inevitable that he'd raise his game as he learned more. He's also a wee bit older, a bit more mature, so I'd be disappointed if he hadn't improved with age. 
All that said, 100% with the above comments - Brown/Grieve/Flaherty/Davidson will never be forgiven in my eyes for what they did to the club - almost ruining it, a situation we are still recovering from. 

We're pretty, there's no doubt about that, but we missed that attacking edge that Sidibeh and Ikpeazu would have brought us.
Uche in particular would have been handy in that last twenty minutes.
However, we've still to get our internationals back, along with Mallan, Mikulic and Lloyd, so to dominate so much was pleasing. I'm sure with a full squad we'll have more of a threat.
It also seems that Adama has found his shooting boots in Africa, so hopefully he brings them back with him.
The lack of forward substitutions was evident today. I still think we're one short in that area. Again though, I realise it's not easy with two of your main strikers away.
This was a chance for others to step up. I wouldn't say they did, but also wouldn't say they didn't, if that makes sense.
I don't like doing it, but I keep comparing us to Celtic. Playing teams off the park, but they get the goals.
Now, I know they have the money to buy players like Maeda, Kyogo and the like, but that type of clinical finishing is what we're missing.
I mentioned in a previous post that I was told years ago that goal scorers are worth their weight in gold, which is obviously true, so it's difficult to compete in that area because every team wants them.
We still managed to control the game without two of our main players, so you have to concentrate on the positives.
We will face a lot of this kind of play against us this year as teams sit in for a point, so we'll need to find a way to break them down.

Thanks all, Tie sourced and due to be collected later today! 👍 
 
Thanks to everyone who offered to loan etc - it was genuinely lovely to see the forum spring into action in such a selfless manner 💜
 
 
 

The first two of six inductees announced.
Tommy Wright and Sandy McLaren.

Sounds like the UK government 😅

I agree with pretty much most that has been said.
Steward proved his worth again.
I'd have preferred Tumilty and Foulds as full backs.
McAlear could maybe do with some time on the bench and start Sven.
Referees in the Championship let a lot more go than in the Premiership.
Mallan's return will make a huge difference.
A manager said a while back that strikers who score are worth their weight in gold, that's why they cost so much. The evidence was there for both teams today.
Harry Kane springs to mind. Yes, a different level, but I'm sure you get my point.
Unbeaten and drawn twice. We can't really complain can we?
Things to work on, but a positive start.
