  1. Would echo this as well. Even though we don't have it in L1, it feels like the standard of officiating has been poorer since it was implemented in the Premiership. More of the top officials required to operate it meaning a talent drain further down.
  2. Surely we're not being dictated to by Lincoln City ffs. Both keepers have their flaws, so play the one we actually own in the hope he improves.
  3. 4D chess from McGlynn to keep Rankin in a job for another few weeks
  4. Earliest the title can be won is at Stirling but it would take a very unlikely set of results. We'd have to win our next three - Annan (H), Cove (A), Stirling (A) - and hope Hamilton lose their next two. I could see them dropping points at Kelty at the weekend but Edinburgh are such a rabble that three points should be a gimme.
  5. That lot would beat Hartley's jobbers from summer 2018.
  6. Player development isn't linear and it happens differently for everyone. Saying they're either good enough or they aren't is an incredibly binary way of looking at things and would rule you out of signing a lot of late bloomers. Players are clearly more likely to have a good career if they're good at a young age but it's no guarantee. On Alfie I think he can turn into a useful player for us. He's got the technical and athletic ability. What lets him down is the decision-making which is the most coachable attribute out of those.
  7. Timing of subs is one of my biggest bugbears with McGlynn but to his credit he reacted to Accies' second and the game calmed down when Tait came on.
  8. Same two for me. That ICT game was pretty drab but I got a great view of Latapy doing one of the best pieces of individual skill I've seen in the flesh.
  9. Very similar to the Dundee Utd defeat in the LC group stage. Fairly even game but we lose a goal through an error and our opponents see the game out. To add to the budget discussion, TNS signed someone from EFL League One a couple of seasons. Undisclosed fee but described as a club record, so you've got to imagine it was somewhere in the region of 6 figures. Their budget would have them top half in the Championship imo. Easy to say focus on the league but I was selfishly wanting to take the wee man along to his first cup final as he's starting to catch the bug.
  10. Quality-wise I think both teams are fairly even. They're a lot more streetwise and have played the ref like a fiddle. Still something in this for us but the final ball needs to be far better.
  11. We've still created plenty openings and will be shooting into the KM7 second half. Get these hammer-throwers pumped.
  12. Thought TNS had shown very little up to that point. Masters of our downfall atm.
  13. The financial side of an academy will be always be paramount but I think adding a further connection between the fans and the club is important too. In this day and age we need to be giving people a reason to come along rather than jump on a bus to Glasgow or stay home with Sky Sports on. The Ultras give us that and I think a steady line of local talent would as well.
