It should help, eh? Twice the chance of a worldie…
I guess it should have been:
Masson/Watson/Corr/Dick
Easton/McGill
Mullin/Vaughan/Arnott
Smith
You’re playing Arnott, who’s only ever played in a deep lying midfield role, in a wide attacking position?

Did Murray not say that Matthews and Brown would be back for this one? Getting them a few minutes in the legs would be great going into the league business!

Sorry if I appeared confrontational, definitely not my intention, it's big but I fucking love it
You’ll grow into it at Christmas! At least that’s how my clothes seem to fit!

Some of you may know that Spanish football was founded by a Scot called Alexander Mackay from the village of Lybster in Caithness. He formed Recreation de Huelva on 23rd December 1889 for recreational purposes for the Rio Tinto mine workers. This is the oldest club in Spain. A year later the newly formed Sevilla played Huelva in a match and from here the sport expanded rapidly.
Mackay had played for his local village club (still going strong by the way) before going to Spain.
The Lybster team visited and played a game against Recreativo five years ago. The rematch in Lybster is scheduled hopefully for next year.
He must be a fair age by now. Fair play to him!

Murray’s ‘We are a different animal this season’ comment is very true. I just hope for our sake we can clear these injuries up!

I’d almost forgotten about Ethon Varian! What a strange player he was. As a target man he had every attribute you’d want. Strong, reasonably quick, good touch etc… he just couldn’t score! A quick wiki search shows he still hasn’t been able to sort that side of his game out yet either.

I ain’t won over though and I have read the judges verdict I wouldn’t ever change my thoughts on the guy so ain’t really won over is it
I meant more people in general rather than you specifically

Anyone else on here watched that James English podcast with that scumbag if so, what’s your thoughts on it?
Yeah I did, and as I expected, he argued his side of things very well. Before you’re won over though, you’d be better reading the judges verdict for a bit of balance!

I have no issue with how last night went. We completely controlled the game and must have had around 80% possession. Albion were so compact that we were never going to get in behind or round the outside of them.

Callum Smith posted missing again for yourselves? You'll be saying this a lot this season.
Yeah he’s been pretty anonymous so far but once we have a fully fit frontline he will probably be on the bench. He will still be an upgrade on what we’ve had on the bench in recent seasons so I’m not disappointed

Hopefully we see Masson at RB tomorrow then, assuming Millen is still out. I think Watson could be able to coach him and Corr at the same time. Then the question is Stanton (if healthy) or McGill in the DM spot. McGill isn’t experienced there, but Stanton is clearly not comfortable laying deep.
Sam Stanton will need to get used to playing deep as, when Matthews or Brown are fit, he will be back on the bench. He’s not going to play in the number 10 position assuming our attacking players are all available.

Corr made two mistakes on Saturday at the Pars goal.
1. He stood in front of Dabrowski blocking his sight of the shot.
2. He then allowed that shot to go through his legs.
He could in fact be blamed for that goal?
Still he is young, still learning, and most definitely on a Honeymoon period with most on here.
Hi Mr Masson. How’s young Adam tonight? Is he in his bed yet?

If Euan Murray ends up playing Premiership football then its a perfect example of how scarce centre backs are. He's a solid Championship player, who I would like to see in our squad, but not a Premiership player by a million years.
To be honest, from what I've seen of Corr so far I think we've bought ourselves a wee bit of time to get the right signing in. He's raw, and wont be our 1st choice, but I've seen enough to suggest he can do a job for now - he's been absolutely fine whenever he has played.
I’d echo that. Corr has all the attributes needed apart from actual experience. If he gets 15 or so games under his belt this season he might just turn out to be a cracker.

McGill struggled in the first half, was a bit better in the second half but he is still miles ahead of Masson for the RB cover.

He genuinely cannot kick for shit, if you stop him playing short then he may as well pack up and go home in terms of trying to distribute the ball.
I’ve not seen him fluff a kick out yet since he joined us.

Aside from the flares (it's your own pitch your fans are damaging!) and a wee dafty running on the pitch, I thought the younger folk there did alright.
The only downside of it is that theres no moderation. The chants of ‘Paedo’ aimed at Bene would probably have been shouted down after the first airing!

A couple of other points from today, our social media updates claimed, at lunchtime, we had sold 4500 tickets and only a few remained in the railway stand. The official attendance was given as 4,000 and the railway stand was half full at best. While I fully understand trying to put a positive spin on things, let’s just stick to facts.
Secondly, fair play to Bene today. He hit a woman in the face with the ball who needed medical attention. When the HT whistle sounded he went right over to check she was ok.

I’m normally a glass half empty kind of guy, particularly after a derby ‘defeat’ but I took a lot of positives from today. We got stuck in, played with a lot of passion and probably should have scored at least one more than we did. Once the league starts I think we will be just fine!

I noticed last night Hartlepool were playing and Paterson started but there was no Euan Murray some of their fans are thinking that he’s leaving/is desperate to leave to come back upto Scotland… if he is released it’s interesting to see how it plays out if it is to us or another championship club
So Patterson is still under contract? I’m surprised they were ok with him playing as a trialist for us. Imagine he’d got injured!

The main stand would get the sun for most daytime games, it's a hard task trying to view the monitor screen with the sun blinding your view.
Where the gantry is now prevents this and premature blindness.
Ahh fair enough Zen. I hadn’t factored that into my thinking.

On the subject of making Starks Park look a bit better, I’ve often thought that we should have our TV gantry at the main stand side (it was there briefly when we were redeveloping the ground). It’s better than seeing a half stand than a row of houses. Albeit half of the railway stand sits empty with no seats but it’s still a better view. I’m not sure if the Raith Tv guys would know whether it’s ever been discussed?

Does anyone know if there’s any tv coverage today? Wasn’t sure if RTV might be covering it
