Drooper

Andy's hair fell oot?

Excellent news!

That's a fair point. He certainly hugs the right touchline when he plays. He is also a bit of a dead ball specialist, right enough, and that is another marketable attribute.

Strain would be a huge loss. There was a lot of chat about valuations for Baccus, but I reckon Strain is our prized asset by some distance. Only worth what someone will pay for him, but anything less than £500K would be robbery! I really, really hope he stays.

Albiet Hemming barely had to work up a sweat on Tuesday night, and I'm not sure that he had to make more than one stop, he looked fine. His kicking was good, he commanded his box well enough, and he looked comfortable overall. If Carson doesn't want to play for the club, show him the door.

It was right in front of us. Outstanding, and was very much acknowledgedby the home fans.

I'm marginally more inclined to believe it now. Only marginally, mind....

I think Sutherland was a bit naive at times but that's to be expected. I loved the fact that he was happy to keep the ball and try get past people. He will also develop physically over the next couple of years. I think he has potential to be a very good player, albeit I have only seen him play against lower league opposition in a friendly. The hints were there, though. There's a confidence already, and he believes in his own ability. That's an impressive attitude for such a young lad.

Aye. It tells us all we need to know that it was Kiltie twice on the scoresheet. He demonstrated a striker's instinct and looked more composed when the ball came to him. Grieve and Olusanya didn't lack industry, but they aren't going to provide many goals. That's pretty plain to see. Back-up options.

Worth mentioning that Strain received an appreciative round of applause from the home support in the first half for how he brought the ball down and under control on the touch line. Outstanding skills.

Aye, that's very true.

Impressed with the young lad. He wasn't shy and looked for the ball the entire game. Happy to take players on, and had a few very good touches. Very promising.

He looked raging

Neil Lennon sitting in the home end/side. Fair play, he is humouring the weans wanting selfies.

Ryan Strain running things here.

Going along to the game in Dumbarton tonight. 10 minutes along the road and my mate is a Sons ST holder. Tenner a skull, though?! Thieving ratbags

Gary Mason. I always rated him. Solid and reliable for the most part. ETA: sounds as though I'm describing healthy bowel movements there, so no offence to Gary.

It has been slow this time round. A lot of eggs seem to have been placed in a McMenamin shaped basket, but we need to hope there are plenty more irons in the fire (using mixed metaphors at this time in the morning is a despicable trait, so my apologies for that).

Assuming he doesn't have suitors with deeper pockets from elsewhere.

Aye, every possibility.

As disappointing as it is, Glentoran are entitled to hold out and ultimately decline what we are offering. Fair play to them, and most of us would probably expect our club to do the same in similar circumstances. Perhaps they don't do gentlemens agreements over there....

Seems a bit odd to have 2 games in as many days? Even considering they are pre-season kick-abouts.

Looks a player!

£5000.00 has 6 figures.... (arguably)
