Fans of all clubs state this for youth players, but the big thing is how do you prove your player is good enough to go make a difference at a lower level? Loanee clubs aren't interested in potential, they want someone who is going to come in and do a job straight off the bat. Ok he wasn't training with Elgin which makes things harder but Tod couldn't prove himself as worthy of starting spot at a poorly performing side last year as an example. Do we think he or others would walk into a league 1 club and find get 30+ starts? Could being the big word here, as it is with every single youth player, the best youth coaches and scouts in the world are utterly terrible and I can't emphasise that enough at identifying who will go on to make it, I'm not betting my chances as a fan at being better than that.

Aren't some states still giving out licences for collecting a few cereal box vouchers and driving round a car park? Understanding roundabouts is so fucking simple you surely shouldn't be able to get/keep one if you can't comply.

That doesn’t match my experience, especially when it’s heavily clogged up mostly traffic is heading north. That matches us with the both lanes allowing for straight on

Next you'll be telling me by spending time out wide players don't get actual chalk on their boots and that its weird we call the most attacking defensive players full backs but the more defensive players centre-half, short for half-back.

There was some talk, I think just before Covid that this had been bounced around clubs with a few murmurs of support largely from mid/smaller FT clubs with a bit of self-preservation that they'd be more secure as being a minimum 2nd tier club. But like everything it was killed off very quickly when it was clear it would never get through a vote.

Its still a load of absolute bollocks. unless someone does something completely wild its going to go to the club captain every year I guess for giving the armband away? We need a shithouse of the year reward. That would be far more entertaining.

We gave queens park a point last week and will give you one this week, Us fifers have always been about fairness. For some reason I'm going to go watch this total slugfest, I can't justify why.

I would need someone like@craigkillieor @HibeeJibeeto confirm but I believe it’s the most stable structure we’ve ever had.

I get really pissed off at the amount of handball penalties given due to the shambolic rulings that refs are being asked to work by, under current circumstances it should be a pen . If they had sorted the rules out I still think we should probably be punishing young for having his arms so far out. Probably with an indirect free kick tho instead of a pen. The first being no foul I agree with, contact is minimal and we shouldn’t be rewarding players for throwing themselves down after that. The third, maybe there’s a angle I haven’t seen but everyone I watched I thought stonewaller

Honesty believe it’s pointless trying to argue for anything different to 12-10-10-10. Your not getting anything else through the voting structure

Yes, but they haven’t been asking for pay cuts, haven’t criticized silly money spinner friendlies and haven’t asked for a reduction in games at European level. Until they do they’re just being crybaby hypocrites.

It’s like he’s got a bet on him conceding a penalty and is having to increase how easy they are to give

I don’t think given our squad size that number of injuries is unreasonable. Tod and Fenton haven’t ever been really secure first team players, and Tod may have just missed out on a footballing decision and not injury. 5 players out may slightly be on the high end but is well within the numbers that should be manageable.

Working together to profit from their rancid fanbase

1. Yes the entire point is that you enjoy it, but winning is by far the biggest part of that, and winning is only enjoyable if you’re playing at a level where your pushed to be your best, it’s not enjoyable when it comes cheap. 2. I admit I was quite reluctant to use the not a fan phrase but I don’t really have any other way of describing someone who isn’t absolutely desperate to win every week. If it’s not about winning what’s the point? And if it is about winning then why settle for chasing anything less than the best? 3. Yeah I’m seriously telling you I’d rather that, I’m not justifying glory hunting, picking a club just cos their good is shit behaviour, but don’t you want your club to be brilliant? I want the pars to be repeated, unbeaten champions of the world and I don’t care if that means we have a bit of income from plastic fans. I may express some frustrations about paying over the odds or fan treatment, but to be great, f**k me that’s a price worth paying every time. True, but cove really should have done a better job of their first two attempts, they cost themselves with a shit mentality

There’s certainly bad things as a fan that you need to put up with playing at a higher tier but the entire point as a club is that you want to push yourself to be the best you can be. If you enjoy the non-league scene then fine, go watch clubs at that level, but if you actively don’t want that club to do well cos you think you won’t enjoy watching a higher level then I don’t think it’s right to say your a fan of that club. FWIW nearly all your complaints don’t change between HL and league 2

Not really. He's not a terrible option but he's one of the guys playing in the area of the pitch which needs improving and we should be taking the opportunity of him being out of contract to try bring better quality in. On summers, He's one of these young players you can see exactly why a club the size of celtic would invest in him, he has a few good qualities which they'll be hoping he can put together consistently whilst ironing out the weaknesses but they'll do that to maybe 20 or 30 players every few years in the hope that 1 actually does it and right now he's far more likely to find himself in the group dodging around in their 20's trying to make a few quid PT than he is making a good career as a FT pro, I'm not keen to get him back.

It should never be a booking his actions anyway. He's only telling fanny's who think throwing stuff at people is acceptable to shut the f**k up and settle down. What offence has he committed?

I agree with that, we’ve won the league with Chris smith in goals ffs but I can’t think of any team to win this division recently who haven’t had a few good attacking players. I’m even slightly tempted to not even bother with a backup and just go too the emergency loan market if mehmet got injured.

They’re not owned by jack walker either, FSG may not be involved in taking everything they can without investing, but they will want to make money in the medium-long term and building stands, putting a team initially worth filling those seats and then cashing in on tourist cash after would be very worthwhile for them.

It’s end of semester, can’t blame a player for wanting the same time off as his classmates…

I was tempted to put a back 4 formation of my potential team, that would look like mehmet/new GK comrie bene/fisher Breen/MFW edwards KRH/MOH Hamilton/Otoo chalmers/todd McCann/new winger Kane/wighton 2 new forwards. Even with new signings probably a harder formation for us to work too.

It wasn’t just the quick free kick, it was being slow to get out to the initial pass, and a ridiculous reaction to McGill having a fantastic shooting opportunity, he needs players(especially mehmet, who I think often is overly criticised) flying out to him, we could have made that chance so much harder.
