It looks to me as a simple supporter that someone is out to cause trouble for the board. Perhaps the rebels were scared of good news in the future and see the leak as a way to cause disruption. I wish the rebels would b***er off as they seem to have an agenda based on self interest rather than that of the club.. Raising the Glencairn issue after the AGM showed this

I thought it was an attempt to build up the tension.

We should sign him. He's great fun. He made a complete tool of himself. Most I've laughed at a game for a good while [emoji2]

I'm probably one of Gormley's biggest critics but I thought he played very well today. Easton has to learn that sometimes laying it off first time is better. He seems to hold on to it ALL the time. Today he lost possession a lot. I used to play fives with a guy that did that. Hated being in his team. Goal lost was dreadful defending and we were Lucky not to lose a couple more due to similar defensive lapses. Enjoyed the game though. Also Barry has to resist the temptation to react to the crowd. The comment he responded to was nothing.

Totally agree. Watson, as well as having pace, has a busyness about him. He's better at closing down, can get in behind defences as well as running channels. I also think he is also a greater goal threat than Higgins and Gormley combined. Then again, who isn't.

We tend to flatter in these early cup games. Barry's first season against Ayr united and then last year against Livingston. I've learned to wait until the season is more developed before getting too excited. In saying that, i thought we were great today against a team 3 leagues above. All the players impressed except Gibson who fumbled a few times.

Good performance today. Only worry is that over all the preseason and today, we look a bit soft at incoming crosses and corners. Hopefully, as the defenders get more familiar with one another this will improve.

I'm single. That's why I'm going to Clyde vs Thistle u20s

Agree it's a nonsense that u20s are in this cup. We need supporters to turn up. The bigger the attendance, the smaller the financial loss to the club from this terrible decision. I'll be there

EKFC beat Thistle's development team 4-0 tonight. I wonder how many we'll put past them.

I thought all the new players looked good today. Easton needs to release the ball a wee bit earlier sometimes. Good goal. McDonald finished well and Jamie Watson looked a lot more aggressive in his play when he came on. Negatives: I'm sorry but I don't see what Ferguson sees in Higgins. He just never seems to get involved in play. Gormley chose to pass to no one rather than having a shot from 10 yards. Maybe a lack of confidence. It's good to watch Clyde trying to play football again rather than last year's hoofing it up the park. I think it's going to be a exciting season

Out of interest, do we know who the shirt sponsors are for the upcoming season?

He had one shot straight at him to deal with and spilled it. That was the only thing he did that we could form a judgement from. However, I won't.

Early days so not too concerned. Only worry is the lack of a striker . So no focus up top. Gormley and Higgins looked to be continuing last year's performances (which is not good) I was glad to see a better style of play and I'm looking forward to a good season.

Looks like two redhead trialists. Any idea who they are?

Ferguson has my support but, I agree that Gemmell deserved to be retained more than Higgins or Gormley. He may suit a longer ball game but is still more of a threat from wide crosses than both of the others. Touch also much better than Gormley's. Hence able to hold it up better. However, he's gone and that's history. Maybe money was the issue. Looking forward to the new season. Hopefully, the football will be better and more exciting than last year's agricultural effort.

Unbelievable that the challenge that injured McGovern at Berwick wasn't even given as a foul. In my opinion, it may have cost us promotion. Hopefully, he's fully fit soon and can challenge for a place in, what looks like our strongest midfield for years.

Well chuffed with Easton's signing. I think we may go up as champions this year. Has there been an injection of cash recently? We've went from a £50000 deficit to signing some of the best players at this level over a few months.

Can anyone tell me what job McLaughlin does? He doesn't tackle as he is too slow to get close to his opponent. He doesn't create or score. I think there is a fair amount of revisionism about some of the players that were not good enough last year. McLaughlin, as I've said above. Gormley, the non scoring striker who struggles to link up as he can't control the ball or stay on his feet. Why would this change next season? I don't really see what others see in Marsh. He gave energy to a slow lacklustre midfield but lacks composure and ability to pass. We may just be repeating the same errors of last year if these players play regularly. I am happier with the new signings though as well as Linton and Junior. So overall, on balance, I'm pleased

I agree mostly. There have been many posts saying that Gormley had the highest number of assists. That may be true but how many attacks have broken down with his lack of control or him falling over?As for Higgins, I have no idea why he was resigned. I could count the number of good games he played last year on one hand. His "good performances" were not actually good but slightly better than his usual invisibility. I think Gibson improved towards the end of the season but is always liable to make a mistake. However, that may be the case for all goalkeepers at this level. It's also good that Barry has realised that he was wrong and you do need a creator in midfield as we struggled to break down stubborn defences last season as shown by some of our home performances.

Good news about Linton. Gormley and Higgins less so. Hopefully a change in formation/tactics can prove me wrong.

He had a two year contract with Clyde. He only played well for the final three months when his contract was about to run out. No thanks!

Just for information. Hopefully does not lead to the usual boring back and forth. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/east-kilbride-stadium-campaign-victory-8040516#ruofMwcW0eXWkXUB.97

I won't miss McLaughlin at all
