Your either fit to play from the start or not fit to play. Let him have a run out for 60 mins to get his fitness and speed up, then hook him if he is knackered.

Henderson came on and played his bit on Saturday. If he wasn’t fit, I don’t think they would have included him in the squad. If he is there, he has to be first choice.

Stunning dug..... it should lead the team out every home match !

I'm a member of the 1876 club paying a tenner a month along with a good few other folk. No monthly draw reported since April ! reported to Jamie last week..... still nowt !

I want to buy 3 tickets for the Dunfermline game in November. This would give the club some cash up front. I can't do that as it will not allow me to purchase.

The problem is that the club wants you to go to the website, whether it’s to buy tickets, hospitality or merchandise. If you are going to put out info on the public domain, the least it should be is up to date and accurate. Just about every page has an issue …I couldn’t buy a ticket last week, matches missing, player profiles wrong, contact people wrong, 1876 club not updated since April. It’s a disaster which reflects badly on the club and our main sponsor.

It doesnt matter what you personally look at or if the analytics suggest otherwise or not. The website is the public face of the club and should be updated and accurate at all times. Full stop ! It's been a mess for ages and its still a mess.

Its a fair comment. Quite a few issues with the website, both in terms of consistency and errors. I've always made the point that this is the public face of FFC and the first place people go for info on the club. As an example look at Gary Olivers player profile. If the club want you to sponsor a player they should at least get the info right. Quite a few players dont have a profile up yet. This is only one example of how we get it wrong. There are more !!!

Was pleasing on the eye yesterday ! McCann was man of the match for me. I posted some time ago that him and Morrison on the left hand side will pose problems for teams when we are going forwards. As indicated above, he has some leap for a wee man and gets stuck in. His problem (if it is a problem) is getting stuck up the park if and when the opposing team counter attacks fast.....but that's what the holding midfielder is for and a game reading CH, to cover for him. Had to love the fact at one point he went on a mazy and ended up at outside right. Another thing is that we now have options up front on how McGlynn might want to play. Alegria to hold the ball up or Lawall/Burell to run at players. With Henderson back we have cover for defence / midfield. My only concern is right back...but I think Yeats is actually making that his own position. He is a cracking footballer and reads the game so well. Although Williamson had a blinder last time out at Westfield, I still think he can't tackle or defend properly. Lastly, a shout out for Pearse Carrol. Only a cameo appearance yesterday but he looks like a footballer..... great control, head up, picks a pass. I don't think he will be with us for long once he gets a few games under his belt.

I think it’s fairly clear in my reply to you. “Some of the Board acted in a malicious manner”. I think that kind of implies “some” but “not all”.…….or at least I hope that is the case.

This

Let me rephrase that …..some on the Board acted in a malicious manner. Better?

Absolutely not! Some of the previous Boards actions WERE malicious with respect to the CI and some other fans. They should be chased if they go anywhere near our club again.

Just fair

3 things - 1. I don’t think the likes of Wilson or Ross will get any game time once McGlynn has assembled his preferred squad. In fact, its more likely that they will be jettisoned. 2. Hartley signed the players without having a look at them. At least McGlynn has had them on trial before committing his budget in signing them and 3. You could say Wilson was looked at before signing, but that was by Sheerin and Holt who couldn’t pick a player if they tried.

Watson will still be some time away. Plus I'm not sure he is as good as what we now have. Henderson can move into the middle. That leaves Donaldson, McKay and Mackie. Although McKay looks a new player, I think Mackie is better than him.

Still think he is our best attacking option up the left flank with Mackie in a left centre role. A good example was the goal against Hibs from McCann’s cross …..and Mackies great covering tackle when McCann was caught out playing outside left.

You should watch the film "The Death of Stalin" and see what happens when a collective group try to make a decision. Don't think Beria was too happy in the end !

That’s assuming the disagreement was on a policy direction. There are more reasons for resigning than just that.

Playing devil's advocate here..... but if you have one or two directors forming a clique and getting their mates involved (who are not Directors), it might just p**s off the others who have been voted on by the FSS. Then you have a hostile atmosphere that descends into chaos ! We have just come out from that scenario with previous BoD's.... let's hope we are not moving back in that direction !

Not a good sign if true.

Not an ITK post, but hope that Doug resigning was a personal decision and nothing to do with anything at the Board level. I've only had the occasional contact with him, but he always appeared to be a good guy with the Club at heart.

Certainly some changes needed to make us a little more potent going forwards. We have the start of a back line that will not lose goals and we have some players that can adapt to playing in slightly different positions. After watching the last couple of games, I would drop Williamson. He offers nothing and can't defend. re-jig the back line to play 5 at the back..... Yeats, MacKay, Donaldson, Mackie and McCann. Both the full backs can bomb on and give us something going forward, whilst the other three can mop up anything teams can throw at us. Mackie looks a better left sided CH than full back as he reads the game so well, but is not mobile enough for a modern full back. Mccann might not be the best defender, but as we saw against Hibs he gives us another option going forward. Mackie covered well for him in that match. Having some width and pace changes the dynamic a little and maybe gives the midfield / forwards a little more support. Still need a striker though. The jury is still out on Alegria.

For me it just doesn't make sense. The club have given the lad a one year contract and then sent him out to Bo'ness, presumably for one year ! Where is the logic in that ?

Found this one a wee bit strange, unless there are some "add ons" to the contract. From what I read, we have only given him a one year deal and then immediately farmed him out to Bo'ness. Doesn't make sense to me.
