    Will G.Southgate call up a huge squad and possibly give these lads a feint hope of future selections or will he stick with his tried and tested and possibly just possibly leaving S.Clarke to swoop for all 4 

    I'm going off topic here, but Southgate strikes me as being very similar to Clarke, in that he likes his tried and tested. He has found players that fit into the system, it works, so why change it......in fact, you could probably argue that Southgate is less likely than Clarke for change, and I just don't see him doing this. I've heard the interviews where he says he is considering Gordon and Anderson, but what he says and what he does, seems to be 2 different things and in Anderson's case (probably the case of the 4 Newcastle players actually), he's got stronger options to try and keep happy in the short term.

  2. Read the friendly article in The Herald that's going about, struggling to see why we would take the Gibraltar game. Clarke always talks about "being tested" or "needing tested". Before the England and France games he said that with Euro qualification and Pot 1 Nation League ties on the horizon, we could be faced with opponents of that standard, however again, Gibraltar don't fall into that category.

    Is it "an easy tie" to assess players....probably too close to the Euros for that.....is it a way to get some shooting practice in......I don't think Clarke is that type of manager....so all in all it just seems like a strange friendly to me. I can only think that were the only nation that were open to face us at that time.

    We won't get as many through the door on a Tuesday night either so it's a financial hit too.

    Absolutely, although a Season Ticket holder, I can’t make matches on a Tuesday night and I know I’m not the only one, so “a big pay day” for the club, turns into a bog standard crowd of 400-600

    I know there is a lot of hate for artificial pitches, but it's at this time of year they are a real asset to clubs in Scotland.

    They are, honestly, give me a plastic pitch over a grass one any day these days. Yes, we have a fantastic grass pitch but if there was a choice, I would prefer it to be Astro.

    Listening to podcasts, BBC programmes etc etc, I tend to find those that are against them tend to be those that just want to moan. The pros out weigh the cons on many levels, even Derek McInnes said he preferred plastic despite Killie now having plans to revert back to grass.

    Papers saying we’ve signed Alfie Stewart and Flynn Duffy on loan. Very glad we’ve been able to get some reinforcements in. A natural Left back was required and we know that Duffy can perform at this level from his time with us and with Stirling last season. Looking forward to see what Alfie Stewart can do too, remember being impressed with him when we played Aberdeen B earlier in the season.

    You'll know it already but Duffy is a decent player to have at this level. During his loan last season, he got a run of games at the end which lead to a bit of talk (amongst supporters) if he would come back again for this season. Can't help but wonder if he will ever make it at United but he will certainly be an asset at clubs like ours.

  6. Having watched the highlights this morning, I'm firmly in @WC Boggs camp on this, I don't think it was intentional but for me it's dangerous play and a there fore a Red Card. Had it been the opposite way around, I know what our support would be shouting. Feel for Crane, he's gone to win the ball and he's obviously had a good match, having not played for a number of weeks, but I'm sure he'll see it now and go "ok then". What I would say though, how many times do we see Goalkeeper go to collect balls like that and nothing happens.......

    Glad we all see things differently then, he knew he was under the ball, and once he received his treatment he came off rubbing the back of his head, goes to get his shoulder checked up, on his way to the sideline he had a wee wink & a laugh up at us away fans in the stand, ref shat it, way too hasty with his card, zero help from his standside linesman who like us was directly in line with it, ref was conned, IMO & almost everyone in the stand, management staff including DY who was also booked for his protests, agreed hopefully the young lad is ok,never like to see anyone injured but he contributed to the outcome himself 

    Ouch, he's on the wind up to the fans, of course he is. He can hear the fury and knows what has happened, so is playing the pantomime villain and is milking it to get a reaction, doesn't mean it wasn't a foul or a sore one. I used to do the same from time to time, so what.

    Stirling played quite well, do they really need all the shitfest stuff, about 10 times players went down rolling, clutching body parts.  Last team like that was that awful Dumbarton team that went down.

    Stunned to read this, have never seen us do that in all the time that Young has been here, so I’m surprised this was the case today.

    Delighted with the 3 points 🇵🇪

  8. Robert Thomson becomes the 199th player to sign for East Kilbride this season!!

    Wish Tommo well with the move, I thought he was a big player for us last season and was the link man that contributed massively to the goals that Carrick and others scored in League 2. Although it seemed his legs had gone, he was affective and formed a good partnership with him.

    It’s been the polar opposite this season sadly, he just looks so out his depth in League 1 and he’s struggled to make any impact in the games that I have seen him play. It’s not through lack of effort, but he just isn’t a player that can play at this level anymore and with this move, I’m guessing he knows it himself.

    I’ve watched a good bit of Lowland League football over the years and I’m sure he’ll be a good signing for EK, and will be effective in the league, so I hope the move works out well for him.
