    Gekko got a reaction from Saintdunc in MOM +Perth Gin   
    I'm surprised by the negativity.
    A deal struck with a local business, regardless of whether you like the product, is surely a positive.
    I'm not sure what's meant by the clubs past relationship with alcohol that wouldn't appeal.
    I thought we did well with The Famous Grouse sponsorship. A well known brand on our shirts.
    I'm also not sure that handing somebody a fish at the end of a match is going to catch on.
    The fact that a player gets something, with their name on, stating that they were the best person on the pitch, is a huge boost for their confidence.
    Personally, gin is not a favourite of mine. In fact, I really don't like it. I'm not keen on whisky either.
    But I'm glad we're engaging with local businesses who are getting involved with the club.
    A strange reaction to some positive news.

    Yeah, great stuff. So good to have a change in attitude after what we've had to go through in the past few years.
    I got the last half hour, in time for the fifth goal. It seemed that every time we went forward after then, we could score.
    No let up, kept pushing right until the end. Despite it being against a lower league side who were also down a player, that's still very impressive.
    If I'm right, that's us seeded now isn't it? Even if Ayr get a result tomorrow, we'd still be in the top three league leaders.
    A great start to the season for the first time in what feels like ages.
    The league campaign next week then, and an interesting result today up in Dingwall between our first two opponents.

    It's difficult to predict what Simo will do today.
    Go with a strong team to hopefully get a decent win and be a seeded qualifier?
    Think about next week and give a few a rest? Maybe there are some that are carrying niggles or knocks.
    Give a few younger lads one more chance to impress, before deciding whether to send them off on loan?
    I've no idea.
    I would go with as strong a line up as possible to make as sure as possible we get the result. Give the attackers plenty chance to get on the scoresheet and improve their confidence.
    Then if all is going well, bring on guys who need a bit of game time.
    I mentioned in a previous post that I'd like us to be ruthless today. Go at them from the off and show no mercy.
    A big win would lay down a marker, boost our confidence, and would make other teams take note.
    It's a different mindset. We're winners, big winners, not a team scrambling about for a point here and there.
    It's been a while since we've been one of the big dogs in the league. It'd be good if we took that on and acted like it.

    I agree with Dunc. I'd like us to be ruthless in this one, make a statement.
    A team like Celtic don't lay off after they've gone three or four up. They keep going and going.
    I think we need to do the same.
    If County can score eight, then we can score nine. Even double figures.
    Get the teams around us paying attention and maybe put a bit of fear into them.
    When we won the league with Totten and Sturrock, we absolutely battered teams, no mercy.
    I'd like this to be our mindset now. We're winners, big winners, rather than the team who was always scraping around hoping to get a point.
    Right at them from the off.

    Apparently, Uche's relegation clause didn't have a time limit on it.
    So while the other players clauses have run out, he could still leave as he wishes until the end of August. The close of the window basically.
