Nisbet Ambrose looked sub league 2 standard on Saturday. I just cannot see how we can continue with him as he looks well off the standard required. Nisbet looked okay with Gueye earlier in the season and scored goals previously in this league for us. Until we get a replacement in think we have to stick with Nisbet.

Halbeath is about hours walk from Dunfermline. Do not think there is a bus that gets you there in time for first bus but probably the second. Games should be at times it is easy for fans to travel to not one that requires leaving the house at 6 in the morning. I will probably just head up on Saturday and visit/freeload on in laws and stay over.

Public transport options are not great. Only one train from Edinburgh that arrives at 1147 that Pars fans would need to get to Kirkcaldy to pick up. No direct bus either to Aberdeen from Dunfermline but by changing and walking to Halbeath there is one bus that arrives on time. No train from Glasgow or Inverness line gets you on in time for kick off.

TV picks for 5th round sadly includes a half 12 kick off on a Sunday.

A few?

Didn’t think we played particularly well last Saturday but hopefully win will have lifted the confidence of the players. Would assume Gueye will start and Ambrose to be replaced by Nisbet. Hopefully Keskinen is fit and can start. St Mirren are big physical side so if MacKenzie is fit I would be tempted to play him at left back and move Jensen into midfield to provide a bit more strength and pace. Still not not sure if going up yet. Hopefully the worst weather will be through and doesn’t affect the game yet. 1-1 Gueye

From what my Sunderland supporting mate says probably a lucky escape. Been shite for them.

You have clearly forgotten as it still makes me shake with rage.

7 days since a signing what are these lazy bastards in the recruitment team are up to.

Have to be happy with home draw against lower league opposition.

Think Hibs will beat Ayr but Hearts could well be in the shite.

Full draw

I was meaning that neither team is close to standard of opposition that we will be playing in qualifying so seems a bit pointless.

Two friendlies announced for June. Not sure what’s to be gained from games against Iceland and Lichtenstein.
