Friendlies are for getting yourselves up to speed and gelling as a team, as long as we're not getting skelped 10-0 then I really don't care. The sole exception to that is Falkirk 2-1 Ajax which was as competitive and serious as any game ever played.

1st to be relegated by its own board.

35 days until the start of the new season - the time it took Frederick Forsyth to write The Day of the Jackal.

I'm off to make some "Davo hates the National Front" t-shirts.

It tough being football trailblazers 1st to be shipwrecked 1st be managed by a DJ 1st to have a player of the year from a non old firm club 1st to have a game cancelled due to extremists

The teaser pic has the badge on a sky blue background. Looks like the Argentina shade.

Hows about 90mins. The time it took this season before people wrote off our chances of promotion and slagged off this years signings. It was a last munute kickabout with a brand new team against a side playing in the champions league next week. Even a moany faced old b*****d like me isnt giving two hoots over the result or performance.

My life is complete. This is my greatest ever achievement, only to be surpassed if I win the world cup, although with my last 16 score already in I reckon that's as far as I will go.

At the risk of being abused, I would just like to say that I couldn't give a shiny shite about the result of pre season friendlies. They are nothing more than training sessions. We had a great pre season last year, done really well in the league cup section. We were all on here full of confidence especially when Loy came back but then the bubble burst and we fell flat our our arses. If we lose all friendlies and win the league then that will do for me.

Good World Cup football today and Allez les Bleus! Out in a buzzing Dundee with the Blues festival all over the town. Braw.

That is possibly the best Ajax have played in all their history according to the Dingwall/Amsterdam tourist board spokesman

I really enjoyed today. Linlithgow is a nice town with some good pubs, the ground is lovely, I think Linlithgow Rose played well and it was great meeting @Auld Heid before the game. Good luck for the season ahead!

I think if Goodwillie had signed a new contract, the club would be shouting it from our fox ridden roofs.

You mean apart from names written all over it making it almost grey , red trim around the collar and sleeves and red Hummel flashes down the arm.

Bizarre. If you were a right wing extremist group looking to make a statement/cause bother then why the f**k would you choose to target a pre-season friendly between Berwick Rangers and Raith Rovers.

A proper Forfar Athletic kit that is, no more of this dark/navy blue dominant colour. We may not like being called the Sky Blues but we love our Sky blue.

I thought I'd read that as well. Here's the kits from 1893, so it could well be seeing as we've gone for all dark blue on the home. *insert Randy Marsh meme here*

Gary Maley will be our third choice ‘keeper this season. Gary Maley will be on FIFA 19. Falkirk won’t. What a fucking laugh this is and it’s not even July.

Some boi.

It will be an interesting conversation when she next meets a PM or President. "I've just come from trade talks in Rome. Aye, I've been busy too, I was in Cowdenbeath for the walk."

Nae offence here, but that is clearly absolute nonsense.

Currently demonstrating outside the Main Stand at Brockville. The lad on the fish counter looks bemused.

Not the tallest, not the best in the air, not the best at tracking runners, not the best with the ball at his feet but apparently he’s quite funny in the dressing room so there is that.

Fucking love that shade of blue. Already went fanboy and got the home top but the early indications are that I'll be going full blown tamo and getting both.

Was nice meeting Kenny today down at the stadium, had plenty of time for the fans and posed for many pictures, top bloke. Also nice of the chairmen to give us some of his time, spoke very highly of Kenny, also mentioned another possible 3 signings to come !

It's got a lot worse. We had our own coverage, maybe ten years ago. There is other shite too, that makes it more sinister. And the beeb's to blame. You have a standard English pundit. Take Gary Lineker. He recognises England have a rivalry with Germany, and enjoys it. It is a reason I remember England-Germany games. I have no real problem with those guys, but they are still English pundits for an English audience. Then you have English pundits 'discovering' Scotland. Like that utter w**k that came up to Scotland to talk about Anyone But England as if its not been around since the 19th century (what was all these iconic moments in Scottish footballing history, 1967, 1977 and digging up Wembley all about?) and even formed the basis for modern international football (why was the first international friendly between Scotland and England?). Even there, that's just a symptom of the fact the English people are being asked to cover Scottish football, it's like asking a German to give us a rundown on the English resentment to Germany's successes. But what I really can't stand, and where I agree with you is that Scottish journalists can be worse than those guys (or as bad), and I imagine Welsh ones are even worse than Scottish ones. Scottish commentators and pundits nearly all consider the fact the BBC presents Scottish football as a novelty sideshow as perfectly normal. They will gleefully give us updates on a Scottish diddy's career in the championship as if everyone at a game on Saturday should care Barrie McKay scored against Preston. Funnily enough I find a lot of the English players that have been here for a while (like Chris Sutton and even Terry Butcher) or Scottish players that played in England have the most respect for our game. Then there are the dribbling bellends writing for the BBC and newspapers, who - for whatever reason - will convince the vast majority of Scottish football fans that is all in their heads and go as far to tell folk to support England and present it as some forward-thinking revolutionary concept, as if they are fighting for the emancipation of slaves and not being oddities in the oldest rivalry in football. They are truly the dregs of sports journalism. Offering nothing but gibberish to Scottish football fans, English football fans, or any football fans anywhere at any time.

PISH

Some of your cats look proper hard c@nts My wee girl is a proper softie. She loves getting her tummy rubbed.

Kenny Miller walks into a pub, barman asks him why the long face? I've just signed for Livi he replies.......

Yes, going to private school should automatically exclude you from public office.

Did they have someone in on work experience to type that teamsheet up?

Alternatively... it is Marching season in Belfast.

...getting coal.

An Orange walk, jousting at the palace, open gardens weekend and the visit of a Premier League football team. Busy day in the town. If only there was a way to combine the jousting and the Orange walk...

We haven't signed a new keeper yer, I was only picking from our signed players!!! Can't see Pat at LB, that's an emergency position for him surely, if he's going to play it'll be in the middle and I've got a feeling Agnew isn't going to be used as a striker, he's the new Scott Robinson don'tchano!!![emoji6]

e Jesus f*ckin wept! Can you guys piss off and form your own thread? I saw this was "hot" with several replies and I thought Gauld had signed for someone. It turns out it's just eye-bleeding pish from a few usual suspects, which has continued over multiple pages. Have a wee bit of consideration for the rest of the forum users who don't want to get into a debate over who is bigger, the DABs or f*ckin Killie. That's tinpot as f*ck.

When did this become the ‘Last of the Summer Wine’ thread?

I believe Carlo Monti, Tankulic and Moussa scored a few in pre season and we thought they were going to be the real deal. So if Mendy wants to stop scoring for a couple games then I’m cool with that.

Georgia is quality, terrible from Josh tbh. I despise Samira, purely due to her constantly using the word 'cutesy'. Fucking cretin.

Would seem folly to look too much into friendlies when Glen Kamara struggled against Arbroath last summer.

Livingston on Tuesday 7.30 ko Lesser. Dumbarton Thursday 7.30 ko Lesser.

1. Falkirk 2-10. diddies

NOBODY FUCKING CARES.

In fairness nobody noticed. Like the time he nipped out for a haircut during his shift and nobody noticed that either. Charmed life.

Disagreeing is expected, I expect banter but please don't attack me personally.. If it's any consolation, I don't like female commentators, perhaps it's my age and have been listening to male commentators for decades.

My bets are this is Jimmy. Fair play to him if so.

It saddens me deeply about our society when a football player's Twitter ability is seen as an attribute.
