I'm certain that there is no way this Moniker will stick.
He will probably drop that too!
I’m hoping Ethan Ross gets a start on Saturday. He’s changed every game he’s come on in so far.

I've watched a reasonable amount of English league 2 matches on TV and the odd national league match, and in terms of technical ability, I don't think the standard looks much better than the Championship. The big difference is physicality, almost every player looks about 6ft plus, and most of these teams would just overpower their way to the title up here.
I think Jack Hamilton mentioned this was the biggest difference when we signed him and I've heard a couple of other players who've moved down south say the same.
Gordon Strachan said something similar during his time as Scotland manager. He said genetics played a big part in why we were less physically able than some of the other countries. At the time he got a lot of stick for it but he’s definitely got a point.

Wonder how Matty Todd’s hearing is? Hopefully it’s recovered.

Of all our summer business, Byrne may well be the most important of the lot! What a player!

I’d imagine that if he was going to be suspended for Saturday then we would have appealed it in which case he would have been eligible. The fact we haven’t makes me think it’ll be next season’s cup tie he will miss and IM isn’t too bothered!

Forgotten who we played but I remember one particular game at Starks defending the home end, an opponent stood facing McGurn blocking him, the corner was swung in right on top of him and we shipped 2 identical goals in succession.
TBH I cant think of a keeper we've had that was noted for commanding his area by coming for crossed balls.
Guido is the only one I can think of off the top of my head.
Commanding your area isn’t always about running out for every cross though. It’s about organising the defenders. I’m hoping that all comes in time.

He needs to be Dabr-offski was my favourite one so far!
It was always going to be hard for whoever took over from Jamie Macdonald.

Brown and Byrne should start against the Pars, they bossed it today in midfield. You can't drop Smith on this form, and Hamilton should start if fit. Given you probably need Mullin to give you the balls into the box it makes a difficult decision for the last No 10 slot out of Vaughan, Easton and Stanton...
You could probably add Ethan Ross into the mix as well. He must be pushing for a start soon. How do you pick one between Easton, Vaughan and Stanton though? Two match winners and a rolls royce

Wasn't at the game but listened to it with RTV and it sounded like another lapse in concentration from a set piece that decided the game
A set piece and a dodgy bit of goalkeeping. I might change my mind on it once I see it back on the highlights but it looked like the second goal went right under his body. Can’t fault the team on their efforts today though. Hibs are a strong side and we matched them for large parts of it.

The idea that we’ve got fans who want to attend who can’t in a stadium which will be about 2/3rds full is so daft.
I genuinely can’t think of any other business where you have the supply and the demand but for some reason, won’t sell!

So it’s clear where the issues with him not commanding his box come from. They are actually tying him to the goal line!

I certainly prefer the commentary on the Raith TV highlights. If I was being picky, I’d probably prefer them to do a summary commentary like Scotsport etc used to do for the shortened reels where they would explain what was about to take place. That’s more work for the guys though so wouldn’t expect it.

I was watching on Raith Tv today. It wasn’t a penalty. I actually think that’s what changed the game a bit. Morton players became incensed by the decision and the game became a bit ‘agricultural’. Thankfully with players like Watson, Murray, Brown and perhaps Byrne in the side, we can give as good as we get now.

I’d almost forgotten about Aidan Connolly and I’d all but given up on Ethan Ross. What a squad we have!

Millen being back would be huge on that front. I've absolutely nothing against Scott McGill, but fielding a defence with everyone playing in their natural position is going to make a huge difference.
I’d be surprised if Millen is fit enough to start today.

I won't lie, I got into it at the Dunfermline game. A few sherbets pre match might have helped
You’ll need to swap that Pringle jumper for a stone island one too!

Has there ever been an explanation for why the lion is holding a computer mouse?
I’m never going to be able to un see that ever time I look at the badge now!

I’m not sure why a bruised toe would require a moon boot. I’m hoping it’s not a case of waiting until the bruising/swelling subsides to see if there’s more serious damage.

Masson isn’t anywhere near good enough as a viable option at the back for us(Sorry Tx). Arnott on the other hand does look the part and I’d rather see him play to allow us to field a 4231 than playing an extra attacker in a 4132.

That's us comfortably off the bottom of the league.
Until tomorrow anyway

Anybody know if the k107 sport show is coming back? It's been handy for those of us who live away from Fife.
I hope so, even for us living in kdy, it’s a very enjoyable show and you’d assume it would have access to even more at the club now.
15 minutes ago, renton said:The only real memory of Nanetti I have is him modelling the red and blue third shirt we ultimately never wore, which is a decent metaphor for his career.
That was a really nice shirt that one. Shame we didn’t wear it, that plus the old tartan one were rarely worn. Have we had any other third kits?

Remember Mark Jones? Striker who was at Wolves as a youth. Played up top with Andy Smith.

I think Dick already has that in his game. He was unlucky not to score against the Pars at home then he scored twice against Killie, albeit one was chopped off. It’s more Millen I’d be questioning with whether or not he’s got that side to his game.

I'm not at all convinced Paterson is any better than Ngwenya was.
Na me neither. I think the only difference next season will be that Liam Dick will be playing predominantly at left back and not having to fill in too often (touch wood) at centre half. Whoever we sign will more than likely be back up rather than a regular.

Did anyone else notice in the highlights, the final replay of the goal, Dylan Easton shoulder barges into one of the QP players during the celebration? Lovely stuff!
