Do we still do radio coverage of games? Currently stuck out in the North Sea, so listening to a convincing win would make my night.

I think most people are annoyed at the standard of performance considering what had happened the week before.
It should have been a game that we bounced back with a confident performance and got back what we lost in goal difference against Livingston. Instead we were delivered a lacklustre performance, that you'd see on the last game of the season between two teams with northing to play for.
Bit of a worry, if the defeat before was playing on the mind of the players. We had only one gear at the weekend, fortunately it happened against Brechin. -
Three centers halves against Brechin!?
-
Hardly the bounce back performance you'd want after last week.
-
So disjointed. We're actively giving them a chance in the game.
Time to see what Hippolyte, Flynn and Mullin can do. -
Getting played at a walking pace. Up the tempo and we should run riot get back the goal difference after last week.
Brechin look the part time team they are. We'd have to make a massive mistake if they are going to score -
Unfortunately for us moving to Barnsley, no matter what happens, is much better for his CV than staying here to get us over the winning line. If he moves he'll get credit for the work he's put in the if he doesn't then who knows if he'll be wanted by that level again. These sort of opportunities are limited especially in the footballing world.Your last paragraph does reflect that Jack is ambitious although winning a championship trophy is better than his current position where he hasn't won anything other than rightful praise for turning the fortunes of the club around. Potential and winning things are not mutually exclusive or guaranteed.

The Totally Football League show was very complimentary towards Barnsley, with ex Buddie Sam Parkin offering some knowledge about Ross from his PFA days up here.Our recruitment team have been working wonders recently, we’ve had some really really good players at the club in the last couple of years, most of whom have moved on to bigger budget clubs, on bigger wages, our last two head coaches also moved to bigger budget clubs on bigger wages. Our club is proven to be a stepping stone to bigger and better things for most of the people who pass through it, this’ll have massive appeal to any prospective head coach.
From what seems to be reported Barnsley and Beane aren't willing to shed their youth development policy, you just have to look at the centre backs alone that have come through.
It's the next stepping stone up if Ross does have real ambition in the game, staying for a Scottish Championship trophy wouldn't add that much to his CV, and these offers will be few and fair between. -
Barnsleys new owners are in for the long haul and with Billy Beane involved your imagine they'll be rather analytical in their decision. I doubt they'd be sacking anyone if they do go down unless performances were that bad. Working with someone like Beane alone would be of interest to a lot of managers.
Ross ticks the box of youth development, something Barnsley have excelled at over the years. Along with his man management skills, we're not a team that have turned our fortunes around with over the top tactical schemes, instead having a system that suits the players we have. That's why he could be viable for them.
I'd be surprised if Ross didn't take the job if offered, I doubt there's going to be much bigger offers from down south until he's made an impact in the top flight here. -
I ended up giving the barman a £5 in the Rising Sun next to St Paul's to put it on. Worth every penny.He gave me that knowledge today , so me and the Mrs hopped on the train to Finsbury Park and went to the Worlds End pub. Unfortunately they were showing golf .
Not to worry , all's well that ends well. That's a massive 3pts tonight . Over to you now Greenock scum .

Did any London based Buds have any luck finding anywhere showing the game as well as the FA Cup match?
Circumstances have found me in Central London. Antrin gave me some knowledge for last week but it was unfortunately too far out the way. -
That he is, but his approach to the game in terms of fitness and ability can't really be underestimated.
He wouldn't be massively inspiring, but I don't think he'd be the worst player to have around the squad, even with the younger players. -
Kenny Miller has apparently been told he can leave.
-
Bit of a bump to this thread.
I hope Smisa are willing to put funds towards the ladies team without the need for a vote. I hope the men's teams are also contributing to them as well. -
Excellent was considering taking in Fulham against Burton as well so that would suit.Famous 3 Kings right outside West Kensington tube station is always a good shout.

Not at all, it looked we we actually played much more direct, by-passed the midfield and let them pick up the second ball straight after the break. Which led to Smiths header from a good Stelios cross, one of the first of the game.I suppose it's all about opinions.
I disagree that we changed it in the second half. We scored within a couple of minutes into the second half. That meant that Dumbarton actually had to try and score. We didn't change our tactics, as our manager stated in his post match interview (but I suppose you know better
), we just got more space due to them not being able to sit in as much.
Of course we could have been better, but we were never poor at any point in the game.
Maybe I've just become too accustomed to us playing well, it was much more second half Morton to second half against Utd for me. A very much must do better against the 'bigger' teams of the division and against Aberdeen next week. -
We were so far ahead in the first half, if it was a boxing tie it would have been stopped.
We adapted fine and got our reward a couple of minutes into the second half, playing exactly the same way as we did in the first half.
So far ahead in the first half it was 0-0?
We adapted after the break. We definitely went far more direct at the start of the second half, aiming for balls in behind the defence rather than the midfield constantly having possession.
Let's face it we played an incredibly poor Dumbarton team and didn't play all that well. We won that's all that really matters, but there's definitely room for improvement, in the first half and just slaughtering teams.
-
Not at all. I thought we really struggled to deal with the pitch first half. We failed to adapt.Got to be a wind up...... if not then FFS.
We started really brightly second half, playing direct to get the ball in behind their defence and let the soggy pitch stick the ball. We went two nil up then just didn't bother. We can't keep doing that. We should have put a few past Dumbarton today, it was one of Reillys worst games for us.
I dont want to settle for mediocre when we all know that this team is better. -
An incredibly poor first half that can't be excused. We were equally as poor as Dumbarton.
We stepped up slightly in the second, however I worry about how we again turned off when we went ahead, something that hurt us against Morton, and could do so again.
Reilly was incredibly wasteful in front of goal, and i thought Mullen should have been on earlier.
Still feel a bit harsh complaining about a 2-0 victory, but I want to see us perform and entire 90 minutes, we don't want to bottle this. -
Can anyone recommend a pub in London to watch the game? I'm staying in the city but would rather go out and watch the game
-
Really really poor. We've failed to adapt to the team we're facing and the state of the pitch.
Hoping for a better second half, it's screaming out for Sutton second half -
To be fair they'll definitely be clauses attached to if Davis signs that agreement, more than likely it'd be renegotiated in his favour. Saying that he could probably refuse and see us get some nominal money through some sort of tribunal.
-
We've not in this half at all. Really riding our luck
-
Looked like a dive by Reilly. But if the foul was given you have to expect the keeper to be off there. It's an open net
The 3 Monthly Spend
in SMiSA

Voted no for both, and will be sending an email to SMISA to ask why the £10 fund is being put to vote, while limiting future £2 spends.
I have to agree with the majority of what's been posted above. Its a poor decision from SMISA to have accepted this proposal from the club, and put it to vote.
