    That was an extremely worrying moment when that elderly fella was on the ground. He was eventually taken away in a wheelchair so hopefully he can be make a full recovery. However, I feared the worst when the Jags banner was taken down and placed around the area while he was being treated. The lack of urgency shown by the medical staff was shocking and the man could have died whilst they sauntered to the incident in their own time. Also, in light of the reaction from Jags fans, I thought the referee could have halted the game for five minutes to ascertain what was going on. It was distasteful that the game was allowed to continue when a fan was possibly fighting for his life.

    Watching on telly it seemed like the ref started it then stopped at the booing to come to the touchline and spoke to both managers and I'd assume someone from the Polis / medical team then once they all agreed it was OK he started again.    Not like me to stick up for refs but other than make a massive scene of running up to check on the fan who wasn't well I'm not sure what else he could personally have done

    Tomi Adeloye, Kerr McInroy, Ian McCall before subsequently getting relegated in the same season, a bunch of advertising hoardings where there should be a fourth stand: your boys took a hell of a beating!

    Kerr McInroy getting subbed immediately after whipping in a set piece that was just inches away from Jack Sanders getting the vital touch into his own net was a massive relief 

  3. While I'm somewhat underwhelmed with the 2 signings yesterday, I'd still say there's a good argument that we are in a stronger position than we were on 1st January, which is at least progress from last January.    Arguments for that:

    * it's obviously very early days but I'm more confident with Brown and Whittaker than with Bullen

    * I'd expect Willoughby to be at least the same level as Rose, always the hope he's an improvement

    * similarly, McHugh is presumably a similar level to Senga / Young, and if we are lucky might even be better ar RB than Ahui

    * Sanders seems a solid signing who we know from his Killie spell is easily capable of playing this level.  

    * we didn't lose anyone who will be massively hard to replace like we did with Chalmers last year. 

    * we 'might' still be looking to add others in February once the manager has had more of a look at what he's got.  I had thought there was a maximum of 5 loans allowed but from what I've read on here that's not the case 

     

    Had a look at the attached list NareysToePoke posted on Twitter and we are clearly in a similar boat to a lot of teams at our level in throwing darts at young guys on loan from down South and hoping for a bit of luck.
