Definite promising signs. Sokler looks good. Nilsen looks like he will be fine when he gets used to speed of the game. Will caveat all of this with Queens look shite.

That list is dated July 2023. Very odd. Shinnie was definitely booked in semi final and final so that used to be a suspension for next seasons cup.

Apparently Shinnie is suspended for today. Missed that when I looked earlier. So is Miovski so even if we weren’t protecting him for his sale he couldn’t play. Hopefully Nilsen’s suspension is for league or we are looking a bit lightweight in midfield.

Game day and no match thread. Can see everyone is buzzing for the season to start. Going to be interesting to see how we line up for this. Expecting Mitov to start in goal. I think it will be a back 4 of Devlin Rubi McDonald and Jensen. Not sure if Nilsen will be suspended for this as he was sent off for Brann recently or if that will carry over to the league campaign so suspect we might have Shinnie, McGrath and Clarkson in the middle of midfield. Width again is the issue that jumps out as the major weakness in squad. I would go with Ryan Duncan on the left and Besuijen on the right but only because we don’t have much else. I expect Sokler to start up front. The kick off time and issues with trains mean there is no chance of getting to this from Edinburgh so I will be watching on TV. Oot Local game In front of tv flat 3-0 Sokler, Besuijen and McGrath

Yeah length of contract is interesting for a player of his age.

Cunts into the final courtesy of the worst refereeing decision since somebody won a World Cup with a shot that didn’t cross the line.

Jimmy’s post match comments. Includes footage of goals.

Dons won closed door game 4-0.

Dundee sign Simon Murray

Under contract until 2025 so assume there would be a fee. Not sure we will pay a fee for a 32 year old.

Despite the monsoon like conditions in North East Peterhead saying game is going ahead.

I went the other way with last years away top. Liked the initial pictures but hated it once I saw it in the club shop. Also new Scotland top I initially didn’t like it when saw release pictures but liked it once I saw it in JD Sports.

Scored for Ecuador against Argentina the other night. Was on loan to WBA and Ipswich last season so would be surprised if they would loan him out to us this season.

Olmo’s touch and control for second was brilliant as well. Spain have been a joy to watch and deserved finalists.

So was I especially as I had 2-1 as correct score bet.

2-1 Spain now. This looks like it could be a classic.

France v Spain been brilliant so far. Stunning equaliser by Yamal. Hard to believe he is just 16.

Not keen on the diagonal lines.

If we don’t we now can blame you for the above statement in bold. I am with Al on not being overly happy with lack of game time. League Cup group stages should not be treated as friendlies. They are games in one of the two competitions we have a realistic chance of winning. Not advocating having the number of games under Goodwin but at the same time would have liked at least a couple more games before we start the competitive games.

First and only preseason game tomorrow night at Balmoor. Seated tickets all sold out but standing still available. https://www.peterheadfc.co.uk/online-tickets/

Away top being announced today.

Thought he might have gone to play for someone like Cove or Peterhead for a couple of seasons but obviously decided to retire as a Premier league player.

3-0 now. Luis Diaz with 3rd for Colombia with lovely chip from edge of box.

Stumbled across Colombia v Panama on Premier Sport. Quarter final of Copa America. Colombia currently 2-0 up. Brazil v Uruguay on later.
