Now 3-2 down and down to 10 men.

Running to weekend for some reason.

Semi final against Buckie Thistle is tonight. Buckie are doing a stream of match for £10 if anyone is bored enough. If anyone is can they keep me updated as I am at the pantomime tonight.

Assuming wasn’t getting enough game time at Cove. Not a great sign that he is progressing.

Clarkson is undoubtedly a good player but as yet not consistent (why he is with us) or physically strong enough to play at top level. Good luck to him if he does go to the Championship in England as he will get battered up and down the pitch down their as it is a very physical league.

He is and not sure we have offered him a deal so can leave for free.

Would guess some of those junior cup ties will have had some decent sized crowds as well. TIme before mass car ownership meant folk went to local games or so Big Al tells me.

Going to head to this despite the warnings about being in Ayrshire after dark.

Thought he might have robbed a wage from LAFC for at least another couple of seasons. Would have loved him if he was Scottish but he wasn’t and never forgiven him for pumping us single handed in Cardiff in 2012.

That’s him appointed. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64211118

0-1. Well worked goal by Barcelona. Spoiled by 3 minute wait for to decide if there had been a foul in the build up.

Been decent first 10 minutes. Barcelona in particular playing some nice football.

Won the penalty for the equaliser as well.

He’s probably on VAR.

Nick Walsh confirmed as referee for semi final. That should kill off any enthusiasm you have.

In case anyone missed it ITV4 showing Atletico Madrid v Barcelona tonight at 8pm.

Also no mention on McCrorie. Does that mean Goodwin does not see him as playing in midfield going forward?

Polvara needs to go on loan to get some experience of playing in adults football. We signed him staright from equivalent of a development league. Lad has no experience of playing full time football before now.

4 days before the game and no game day thread. See everyone is buzzing for this. No idea how we will line up for this other than I expect back 4 to stay. Really need to win this but not sure we will. In Bus then pub Y Bus 1-0 Considine og after beating 4 of his own players.

Cove Rangers sack McIntyre. Paul Hartley back?

Didn’t do enough to win that. Defence looked more solid but not hard against team who have only managed 14 goals all season. We had plenty of ball but never worked keeper enough.

I guessed Lopes will be asked to play wide to supply Miovski and Ramirez but really not sure if it’s even that.

3 at the back stays but now 3 strikers. Barron dropped.
