Stevenson’s goal against the Fifers in 79 (or was it 78) was a thing of beauty and McRoberts got the goals against Montrose that got us out of the basement. Was that the Stevenson goal were he ran from the penalty box at the car park end and put it in the pokey at the railway end ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, BLM is a very nasty organisation and needs to be watched carefully. It supports anarchy and police defunding. No thanks. the BLM movement has very just cause for protesting on the streets. I think that you have been brainwashed by DJT re: anarchy and being a "nasty" ( one of Trump's favourite words) organisation,etc. The police in the U.S. would appear to be vastly overfunded, whenever there is an incident there seems to be dozens of cops hanging around doing not very much. Some cops there are earning $100k plus and there was one instance recently of Ethan Newberg, A Baltimore PD officer whose basic salary is $107k, and when you added on benefits and overtime he was pulling in $260k! And why do police departments need armoured cars and grenade launchers? Defunding does not mean getting rid of the police, it means re-directing funds to other areas such as mental health care. How many times do we see some poor soul having a mental health issue and they get blasted away by cops who have no idea how to deal with the situation? Their first action is nearly always force rather than de-escalation. https://www.marketplace.org/2020/06/12/police-departments-1033-military-equipment-weapons/ Edited September 15, 2020 by Bairn in Exile 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christ it's like A Weekend at Bernie's with 300 Bernies in masks. All these dummies 4 seats apart motionless and not allowed to stand or shout. Absolutely awful. You just know when fans are allowed in it will just be an extension of this in Scotland. The trial game in England with fans at least allowed them to take their masks off once in their seats. I'm pretty sure you don't have these types of restrictions inside pubs & restaurants in Scotland so why are football matches treated this way? I really don't know what they learned from this test event. It was safe , well of course it would be. I agree, it's awful, but I feel it's necessary unfortunately. The restrictions in pubs & restaurants allow people to sit in the required groups with no masks when eating and drinking (obviously) but masks should be worn when moving around the establishment or going to the toilet. Folk don't have to remove their masks while watching football so it makes sense asking them to keep them on. I don't know if they're not allowed to shout but it's likely that people will without even thinking so, again, masks will reduce the possibility of infection. It's all very frustrating but it is what it is I'm afraid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can’t see how many clubs will be able to survive without the fans ie hospitality, pay at the gate etc I have read enough opinions from experts who question the effectiveness of a vaccine across a wide range of populations, to have some real doubts . I wouldn't hang my hat on getting a cure all virus to save the day. We need to learn to live with this virus , protecting the vulnerable whilst trying to return to some sort of normal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recent pictures of folk queuing at gun stores (gun stores FFS) before buying an arsenal are truly concerning and all supported by Trump too. We need to be very careful that we don't follow the same route. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant individual goal ! what was so good as it became obvious what he was trying the support behaved like they were at the horse racing cheering him on to the winning line. One of the few memorable moments in a miserable era. Was never the most skillful player but had a good engine in him and at least he tried every game - liked him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) Hopefully we at least get a match report with plenty of 'trialists' in the team to make things more interesting on here, 3 weeks today until we kick off for real.

Donathan Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Just rewatched the highlights of the 2016 playoff final first leg at TFS and I’ve got no idea why I went down to Kilmarnock thinking we had a decent chance to hold on to our first leg lead. They absolutely played us off the park at TFS and we scored right at the end with just about our only shot on target meanwhile they missed several sitters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 The aggregate score was about right, but it was a right dunt in the sacks to get so cruelly exposed in the first 10 minutes and then have to endure the horrible rest of the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We exceeded all expectations that season, and scraped by more than a few times, I just thought luck was on our side but ran out at the end of that game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
