  1. Nice wee montage piece on Reporting Scotland tonight with cameras in Raith Suite for Community Foundation's open door for less fortunate at Christmas. 36 clubs taking part and it's us that gets the national publicity. Huge congratulations to all involved.

  3. It was Gary Locke’s last League game in charge, which saw us end his reign playing a 2-3-5, with forward Mark Stewart lining up as one of the defensive two. Weird it didn’t work out for Gary.

  4. Saturday was surely a spoof show, it was like a fly on the wall documentary in an old folks home. Highlights included Willie Miller anouncing "Hearts have had a second player sent off", The studio trying to remind him that Naismith had been subbed not red carded and Willie arguing with them. We also had Derek Ferguson who always sounds like a 7 year old reading out his homework . This week saw Derek articulately describing a penalty at Hamilton v Kilmarnock, Mr Fergusons amazing description of the award and the taking of the penalty was top drawer, Although the studio did have to intervene to find out who the penalty was for. Chic spoke about Chic and Pat Bonner had locked himself in the toilet. The only saving grace is Richard Gordon and I'm pretty sure he is only doing it for the carers allowance he must get for looking after the others.

  11. Lets see what the January window brings before making ridiculous knee-jerk statements like that. If we were to see out the season with the squad as it is then tenth place would be a real possibility. But we’re not going to so lets maintain a bit of calm.

  12. Been reading over the last few pages and can relate to a lot of stuff. Hope everyone is ok over the next few weeks. Don't drink to get away from feeling down it makes things ten times worse. If your friends don't get it then they're not worth knowing. Have a drink like you enjoy a nice juice or piece of food. That's how I view it now. You wouldn't eat 10 sandwiches so why drink ten pints in one go? I hate the machismo attitude to drinking in Scotland its pathetic.

  15. With each passing week I start to convince myself that a new striker is just as important as a new left back or centre back. Gallagher has been fairly rotten the last few weeks and really hasn't taken his chance in the starting 11. I don't rate Beany either, given he has 3 goals in 30 odd appearances since his return I don't think he is the answer. What we really need is a Jim Lister. Someone who can hold the ball up, knows where the net is and will chuck himself at some of thos Ross Forbes deliveries into the box. At one point we had 4 strikers on our books this season. All 4 of them have turned out to be a bit of a disaster through a combination of injury, shitebaggery and simply not being good enough. Frustrating.

  16. It absolutely does my head in when we visit a ground because something has happened and the person with a microphone in the ground is unable to convey exactly what's happened. I often catch a few minutes in the car for instance, having not been following the programme throughout. I'm therefore not necessarily familiar with who's covering which game. Similarly, I don't necessarily recognise the name of every player for every team on a given Saturday. I wouldn't imagine that makes me unique. The primary job of the pundit is to take of advantage of being there, to convey basic information to those who aren't. So often, these basics don't emerge for ages, or even at all. It's a pretty fundamental part of effective communication, to put yourself in the shoes of your audience, but it's beyond half of them. When the medium is radio and all we've got is the spoken voice, it's pretty important that that voice tells us the most important bits of information from the outset.

  17. Yesterday the Celtic game was the commentary game ( I assume for the visiting fans who don't want to pay £28?) As anyone with any interest in Celtic could have been at Celtic park yesterday. However when I got back to the car they were heading towards the news and then spent a quarter of an hour talking about the game they had just covered for 90 mins (and the pre match guff) and that was of no interest to anyone other than the team of folk from the beeb at Celtic park. Post match should be a quick round up of all the scores and match action at 5 past 5 when most folk are back in their cars and that would take them up to half 5, rather than bleating on and on about a game they have just spent the best part of 2 hours talking about and then rush everything else. Can Celtic TV not try and get Pat Bonnar and Scott McDonald into their coverage to save us all the hassle.

  19. About £200 betting on Norwich getting yet another late fucking winner yesterday, another two hundred betting on Leeds or draw when we were respectively one and then two goals up. Another sixty betting on Leeds to win when it was two each. If Villa are going to insist on ruining Christmas every single fucking year, I may as well make some fucking money out of it. The twats.

  23. The foreign aid policy was spelled out in all party manifestos SNP - Keep UK aid spending at 0.7% of national income Conservatives - Maintain foreign aid budget, with new rules on how to spend it. Labour - Maintain foreign aid budget, meet our international obligations on the refugee crisis. Liberal Democrat - Support NATO, maintain foreign aid budget. Ukip - Slash foreign aid budget to 0.2% of GDP. Green Party - Increase the foreign aid budget from 0.7% of GDP to 1.0%. Apparently, only the racist fruitloops want to reduce it Edited to add lifes

  29. No team in our Division could cope with 4 centre-halves being out. Throw in the fact that the player you have drafted in to the defence goes off early in the game. Magee then picks up a knock that on another given day would have probably seen him subbed off. Saturday was bad but there were reasons. If we had got pumped 4-0 at home by Elgin and everything was fine I would be worried but given the circumstances on Saturday I forget it and move on. Unfortunately I expect to lose at Clyde as Gerry is still out. You can't play with a make-shift defence against Goodwillie and not come out unscathed. Looking forward, Gibby will be back in January and we can have the defensive pairing that I believe is by far the best in the division playing again. Over the past few years, the critical time of the season is January to April. If we can go on a run in that period then we will be in the play-offs.

  30. I have a bad feeling about this. 2-0 Ross County. This fixture always reminds me of the two occasions a Ross County fan has admitted to me in person, that they take greater pleasure in seeing ICT lose, than they do seeing Ross County win. I have absolutely no doubt there are some County fans on here that feel the same.

  31. You should read Kevin McKenna's article in last Saturday's Herald. You'll maybe recognise yourself as one of the Scottish Labour types whose consuming hatred of the SNP has utterly blinded them to the disintegration of their own party and it's increasing irrelevance to this nation's needs. But maybe snide remarks is the way forward - what do I know ?

  33. The problem with Goodwilllie is less the fact he would bring negative press and more the message it sends to young fans and the women in our support. Even if he were the best player in the world, some things are more important than winning football matches.

  39. My dad got out of hospital on Thursday and a free Saturday allowed me the joy of taking him back to James McGrory Park. We left deservedly defeated by a good Kilsyth team but I thought both teams did well in bad conditions. Good luck to them for the rest of the season. Like 2 wise men looking for the third we follow the star of the Roch and arrive bearing gifts of gold (£9 charge and with a tenner handed over and 1 gold £ of change returned, Frankie&Benny’s in our belly rather than frankincense and plenty of mhyrr-th... you’ve got to laugh at life and laugh in football ... Wisemen and a virgin can be difficult to find at the best of times but there are contenders at the Candy... at least for the wisemen! I speak to a few and as snow frames manage a Christmas Card image, the Candy Christmas fixture is polluted by our usual footballing weather...”annus pluvious pishus” you may hear at 3pm on Christmas Day. The auld man returns from a 6 week jolly up in the QE infirmary and he looks shakier than the poor donkey carrying a pregnant Mary and a huge bag of presents Joseph has made in his woodwork workshop. He adorns himself in the clubhouse and I go speaking to the wise men. The Candy are hot and cold I’m told but a mid table position could be worse. Coffee consumed I head over to the 2 new stables behind the Candy DugOot Inn. One is full of blue hatted banterists and they cheer their opener which sees a Candy defender lying in his back looking up like he baby jesus and our keeper agog at the wonder of the free headed majesty. One down early doors and overplaying in bad conditions and coming slipperily unstuck. Conditions are poor but a good free kick delivery sees the Candy cash in on zero marking and a headed equaliser sees us into the break all square. The second half is nip and tuck and the big impressive 9 for KR almost KOs is twice, as does the 6 both missing when a goal looked certain. A bad tackle gets a 2nd yellow and KR are down to 10. I defend the ref to a group of Kilsyth fans who are calling Hanlon all sorts, cheat being the favourite. A foul is a foul even if you don’t like the victim I say... an old scribing hack with a blue bonnet and a notepad beside me thinks I am doubting myself now. Doubting Thomas was 33 years after this Christmas nativity and rebirth of my junior football year. I leave this stable shed and head for the unstable shed at the other side of the dug out.... it’s like a Jamaican street market with the sounds and smells to match. Some great shouts and banter bite my ears as my nose is bitten by other things. One classic line of attack to their big bald towering strength number 4 who was mud splattered and loving it(big dirty defenders love being big and dirty! He played great) was “we have turned the showers aff big man”... the irony of a later shout to a diminutive defender by a Smoker of sultry wares “haw you, away an git yer script ya junky pr*ck” was not lost on me! Oh how I have missed it! I have been on a diet of good food mostly this season but my first Candy rush in months left me on a sugar high. Even the 10 man break away winner and the fruitless Candy last 10 minute kitchen sink throwing didn’t leave me low. It felt Festive and I felt something being back there yesterday. Everyone loves to comes home for Christmas and bringing my dad back for the first time in months and being in amongst it again and the familiarity of fun and friends and ultimate failure meant I was full of the spirit of the Candy and the glow of the game. This has been a marvellous year for the Candy and their fans. I would like to thank the staff and players and the fans for making it joyous for me. Wishing you all the best wishes for Christmas and a fabulous football 2019. Candy fans, players and staff and fans of every other team. A Football Foe is just a mate you disagree with... we are all in it together and at this time of year it fills my heart to still be in love with football. Don’t underestimate it... The power of love, a force from above, cleaning my soccer soul. Mon the Santa! [emoji318] MTC! [emoji460]️[emoji172][emoji106]

  41. I think the biggest risk that I see for the rest of the season (and by definition for the manager's prospects) is that we *fucking desperately* need some attacking creativity and flair - but the type of player that supplies that is the most difficult type of signing to get right at any time (never mind in the January window). Yesterday's goal was a crap one to lose- and we are always liable to do that - but it doesn't hurt as much when you've been able to score a couple of times yourselves. When you look at the run in to the end of the desperately poor season under Barraclough for example - it wasn't the free stuff or winning the battle that ultimately kept us up, it was genuine attacking quality from Johnson, Ainsworth, Pearson, Erwin and McDonald that did it. Look at the youtube clips of the games against Accies, Killie (twice), St Mirren and Rangers and look at some of the fucking goals!That was by no means a great motherwell side (obviously) - but we were able to fall back on some real quality when needed and that simply does not exist in our current squad. I'm not confident that we can bring in even a shadow of the type of attacking player we had available in a side that finished 11th - but this is probably what our season is going to hinge on...

  42. You don't set high standards. You set overly high expectations. Your standards are poor. 4 wins in 16.... 25% win record. That's not a particularly high standard is it. ?? Kid yourself on all you like, but Glencairn and Rossvale are well ahead of you, as are over half the table
