  1. Moonster can you check can you "rewind" it using bar at bottom ?
  2. Remember you can rewind using the bar at the bottom.
  3. ^^^^^^^^ In the know or knows what hes talking about ? Either way well done !
  4. Ross deserves a lot of credit for the work he has done to get back in shape. He must have lost at least a stone and the sprint to get up and get the fourth was just reward.
  5. While I take your point, I think that's a bit unfair on the board. Now I'm guessing but I reckon you are more a Wayne Gretzky than a Lionel Messi but that doesn't mean you couldn't ask effective questions in the board room to the manager. Based on your posts I'm sure you would ask tough questions even though you have no Scotland caps . While you could reasonable assume having playing experience gives you some advantage in the board room, I think there are other management qualities that are more important. Having playing experience on the board is no guarantee of success just look at Thistle,Morton, Hearts last seasons and various others. For the previous successes of Celtic and this season Rangers who were the experience players on their boards challenging Rodgers, Lennon and Gerrard ?
  6. Fair point. Though I'm sure the Board and Manager do share our concerns. I think we are all frustrated at how long it takes to get signings in place and i'm sure if you or I were on the board we would be pushing the manager hard for updates. From what I hear he is well connected so there must be more to it than lack of effort. Has he been unlucky with managerial changes when he had players lined up for loans ? With so many of our peer clubs going to the Lowland league to get loans maybe that's a signal about the lack of availability from the higher leagues ? With the Government funding; Anderson money; Fans support though Just Giving, Season Tickets, Lottery etc etc, I can't believe funding is an issue.
  7. There is no kicking going on, people are commenting forcibly on a situation which looks grim as the restart of the season fast approaches. I find it hard to dispute the majority of the recent posts - it seems the public are more engaged than the club right now. Always pay attention to your posts , but can you say more ?
  8. Great news. If it’s vertidrained tomorrow, game on ?
  9. Totally agree with you and Lorenzo and others. It's that unusual business of football, having a supporter versus a customer. I also saw the messages from Albion, Annan and Morton who had the similar Pixellot issue. I see our statement reiterates the point the while it won't fully make up for missing live streaming, the full game is up there to view. I bought a subscription, got in early last night and watched no problem. I've also been back in this morning. Are most people who subscribed able to go back in and watch ? To the commentary team and those who had done all the testing well done. Must have been a sickener that all the hard work was, in some fans cases, negated by the 3rd party issue.
  10. Yes. I've been in and it is there to watch. Funnily enough on that versions the commentary is in time with the game.
  11. Thanks for clarification, Where did the 14th date come from is that an SPFL/SFA communication ? Out of interest ,do you think the twice weekly testing for part time teams will become a reality ? It seems incredibly unfair for football as a business that they have to test twice weekly when other professions don't test at all. What seems especially unfair is that many part time players could be medics, nurses, police, taxi drivers, working in supermarkets,barmen, teachers etc etc but do not need to get tested twice a week in those jobs. Is it the medical advice that's concerned about close contact and droplets etc created during contact training ?
  12. My understanding is you are half right ! Given we are only playing 13 games instead of 18 they are keen to allow other teams to play and given the good condition the park was kept in by Buster, extra monies would have helped with some of the additional monies being spent on the park.
  13. I saw this on a tweet today and was amazed at the number of goals across the competition. Were there special rules/incentives? I looked up the competition and Clyde scored an amazing 38 goals in 6 first round games. Even Dumbarton scored 10 in one game !! Clyde and Brechin both reached the semi final that year but even back then the warmed up numbered balls were in operation, as Celtic and Rangers avoided each other !
  14. What is going to be interesting is how the second division “bloc” react. As they stated they have already agreed to vote as one for a 14/14/14 . If that’s the case I think that scuppers the 75% of the lower leagues requirement. As an aside why ,when they have members on the restructuring committee and it’s ongoing, do they make public announcements about what way they are voting ? Why not try and influence from within,wait to see recommendation and then make a decision ?
