    still not convinced about Paton toe and Lewis but the above is what is go with. I prefer Mackin to Lewis however not with haber as too alike. Harrison has looked better than dallison in early games despite his lack of speed. get Robson back in at left back it worked last season and he wants to win like Leahy. two up top from the start a necessity. start playing like a team that want to impose themselves on the game rather than the opening 45minutes of first two games where we have created nothing

    Did you see Mackin today?

    Can’t believe you attended.

  2. Really terrible performance today.

    the team selection and first half were beyond belief.

    Muirhead.    Gtf

    Paton gtf

    Petra gtf

    lewis gtf

    Mackin gtf

    Sammut gtf

    Mcghee at lb gtf

    Hartley gtf

    only decent performances were Irving and Harrison

    The subs made a huge difference which shows how clueless the initial team selection was.

    I’ll calm down after a few drinks!!

    Poor old Forbes Johnstone in the middle of the pic. God rest his soul.:(

    Quite by chance I met Forbes’s father a few years ago. Lives in Edinburgh.

    He couldn’t speak highly enough of FFC who offered fantastic support to his family despite the fact that he had been away from us quite a while before his death.

    He feels so strongly about FFC that he comes to games from time to time.

    really nice to hear.

    You are a troll who revels in contributing controversial posts. For what it's worth, I went to my first game at Brockville in 1969 so I'm hardly a "snowflake" student type.

    Okay, BIE, you’re obviously not a leftie student.

    I apologise.

    1969 - was that around the Ferguson , Roxburgh era?

    Seem to have mislaid my Michael White books.

  5. Yes, it was a great trip totally deflated by a lousy performance. 

    Went on the official FFC package which was great and allowed some free time in Zurich.

    Only  brought it up as my credentials seem to  be questioned.

    You can hate my views but NOT my dedication as a lifelong FFC supporter.

    there seems to be a kind of ‘groupthink’ on here which doesn’t like alternative views.

    Probably a bunch of ‘snowflake’ student types!!

  6. I agree we shouldn’t take too much from these games (as per last years experience) but this year is entirely different in that the pre-season PR and hype generated by the Club has been phenomenal. I mean that in a good way as it has generated great enthusiasm for the purchase of ST’s.

    we have all been going mental about the new signings and probably the level of expectation reached too high a level

    Ihave only seen the Airdrie and Montrose games and tbh I have been a little underwhelmed by the standard of the new arrivals.

    i agree it is early days and the only true test will be on 4th August against ICT.

    it is still worth while monitoring our challengers and I was impressed with the defence and midfield of Dunfermline but NOT their strike force.

    Time will tell!!

    BTW, as a new contributor I have been unimpressed with the standard of posts on here.

    I rather expected better but hey ho!!

     

  7. You may be correct but I felt it was of interest to see how one of our competitors competed against a higher league side.

    For what it’s worth they played a 532 formation against which Dundee made no impression.

    Craigen and Hippo looked good but Louis Longridge was anonymous.

    Their wingbacks Longridge and Williamson were excellent and, as mentioned earlier their defence were never troubled.

     

     

  8. Yes, first half was good.

    Dallison was immense.

    2nd half was awful with too many midfielders going backwards 

    The striker trialist was awful with the right back nothing special.

    the trialist no. 11 had something about him but we need something extra up front.

    Lewis was okay but looked a bit off the pace.

    Paton is a good organiser but Froxylias was poor.

    was impressed by TOE and Petravicius

    Well done England.

    Fingers crossed for a pleasing double today, the Bairns to put in a performance and beat Airdrieonians with goals to spare while at the same time Sweden are beating England - don't want there to be any doubts about the England result so that the English media can claim them to be unlucky losers, I want them to be second best all round - C'mon the Norsemen!

    Typical Scottish cringe and inferiority complex.

    I always support a Home Nation when Scotland is not there.

    C’mon Arry!!
