Jute

Frame, Gyamfi and Lazetic all playing tonight.

Development team playing up in Buckie tonight in Aberdeenshire cup final.

I am sure that was mentioned as part of compensation deal.

No Mikey Johnston or Allan Campbell he is raging.

We stayed in Zizkov (Prague 3 I think) last time. About 10 minutes from Old Town on tram or Metro. Was cheaper than more central areas with good few cheap local bars and restaurants.

Just kick it out you cunt.

Ticket arrangements for home games out. Prices are better than I was expecting.

Morris officially away.

Not having the Sporting/Technical Director position filled 18 months after the review of club set up identified the need for one is probably my biggest concern. As you say we seem to focused on the next project to earn us a big sale rather than developing players for long term future of club. Sporting Director should be there to oversee that. Difficult to bring one on now with manager and head of recruitment already in place. Sporting Director should have been first appointment.

Thank fuck I sacked this off. The money we have spent means even with 10 men we should be beating a promoted side. We simply do not look like scoring as we have no striker. I will again ask what substance was the person who signed of on Yengi on and where do I buy some.

Meant to say draw for first round is tonight at 6pm and SFA’s YouTube channel.

Results from yesterday’s games. In usual SFA style one of the results above is wrong Dunbar United lost 4-2 to Cumnock after being 2-0 up. Wigtown v Camelon was postponed after a Camelon player collapsed with a suspected heart attack before the game. He had to be given CPR on the pitch and is now recovering in hodpital. Surprise of the round for me was Invergordon of North Caledonian league beating Dunipace of East of Scotland Premier league. Dunipace have started league well winning 5 out of first 6 and would have expected them to easily beat even best team in North Caledonian league.

Play in Berwick so you are correct. They used to play in ground beside Shielfield Park but they ground share with Berwick now.

First of 2nd round Preliminary round games was last night with Pollock of West of Scotland Premier beating St Caddocs also of West of Scotland Premier 1-0. Rest of ties today

Robby McCrorie goes on loan to Esbjerg in Denmark.

Definitely seems an odd one.

Away end at Sparta Prague only holds 988 so that will be a ticket scramble as well.

Accepting the comments on shite format and the second/third chance it’s still a European competition and potential for some decent ties. We are not big enough to be looking down our noses at any team we face in Europe. Just because a team is from Bosnia or Armenia and maybe in Europe for first time does not mean it won’t be a tough test.

Seems to be suggestions in English press that although Amorim has backing of the board that he is considering resigning so might not be that far fetched.

Back to league duty on Sunday and for confidence need to be putting away one of promoted teams comfortably. Not expecting any arrivals by Sunday but looking like Morris could be away. Hopefully no injuries from Thursday but might see squad rotation to rest players. No idea how we will line up but Devlin has to start at right back. He is a better defender than Jensen. Really need to win to get league campaign on track. Falkirk have not looked great in games I have seen so surely we can win at home.

I like Nisbet as a striker but cannot see him as the type of player that can play with his back to goal providing knock downs to midfield like Thelin seems to want. I am sure however that we cannot go into the season with the strikers we have at the club. Agree we need to get a box to box midfielder in and I am not convinced that a lowland league player will be able to step up to play left back at SPFL so would like to see an experienced player coming in on loan until the two we have signed are up to speed/fit.

I don’t think he is even best right back at club. Since summer seen a few handballs in European leagues that have been similar where any contact with the ball has been given as a penalty. The rules might not have changed but I think the directive to referees on how handball is judged has.

Legia down to 10 with 5 minutes left.

While I don’t think it was a penalty I did think Jensen caught forward and probably should have got a yellow card for a foul outside box. VAR and handball rules are fucking awful.
