    Money in the bank is better than thinking your going to have money in the bank. Cash flow is not talking shite its the harsh reality of business. 

    Had the club got its act together and had the season tickets available they would have committed money in the bank to assist in the running of the business. Your statement almost infers the clubs tardiness was a ploy to assist their customers.  Now that is talking shite.

    Business that are successful know how to work the market to exploit it. Sell on the upside. In this case straight after the season had finished when everyone was buoyant about the placing in the league.

    I was considering not bothering with renewing my season ticket and ride out the 3 games or more without access then when we get back in renew at that point. Save ME some money.

    HOWEVER seeing the amazing incentive that I may win THE luxury and elusive ticket to possibly see Dunfermline in the cup, I’m getting the sleeping bag out to camp out at the club on Sunday to be the early early bird.

     

     

    Just get back to having a go at Kibble on Facebook.

    Thanks Alan.

    I have emailed the club.

    Seat specific has never bothered me and I totally understand the need for flexibility now more than ever.

    I'm thinking further ahead when I'd quite like to be in the same area around folks I've come to know well.

    If still non seat specific, that wouldn't be a problem as I'd just get there early... but if seats allocated to or picked up by someone else, it would mean a shift of area.

    As I said, looking at longer term, which in itself is encouraging.

    Pretty sure existing season ticket holders will be able to renew their allocated seats. The club will then hold a ballot of some kind (depending on the numbers allowed) and you will be given an allocated seat for that game (could be anywhere). When restrictions are finally completely lifted ticket holders can sit in their season ticket seat.

    On that showing from Quaner, I'd be tempted to try and get him for next season. 

    Thought Durmas was excellent also.

    When Durmus arrived I wasn't convinced he was any good, if he didn't beat his man with his first couple of attempts his confidence dropped and he didn't want the ball. Fair play to him, he has become a very important addition to the squad. I don't like him as much on the right or in the wing back role but he's done well regardless of where he has been asked to play. I really hope we can keep him.

    I don't know why all the finger pointing at couple of heavy defeats. We were in driving seat today and to be fair against easier opposition that the fakes were. It's all good blaming JG but he isn't on the pitch. The captain should shoulder blame too, doesn't seem to be able to motivate team. I mean doing an online interview stating there was a bit of nervousness couple of days before game really doesn't fill anyone with confidence surely not from captain anyway.

    Formationwise stick to 442 for gods sake and get durmus and connolly making fullbacks life a misery and getting ball into box with 2 strikers going for it and stop fannying around with goal kicks.

     

    They had a great chance, blew it and now need their arses kicking for it. 

    😂 if only.

    To be fair, I'd imagine that's where JDH has been told to play.

    Played further forward there's no doubt he has the ability to make more telling passes.

    I think one of our major targets for next season needs to be a midfielder along the lines of Gogic or what we thought we were getting with Sheron.

    With that type of player, and JDH alongside McGrath, I think that would be the basis of a strong midfield.

    However, I think he'll be offski and we'll have identified a potential replacement already.

     

    Which is my concern, the same thing happened with Ethan, he's now hanging about just in front of the back 4.

    JDH not the player i thought he was going be. Not signed a contract so get Flynn in there and drop him till hes free to go...not to bothered if he leaves tbh...give me Flynn over him anyday...

    First few games he was playing much further forward and was picking out some nice through balls.  He has gradually played deeper and deeper and is really not what I hoped he would be. There is no drive in the middle of the park at all and we need someone to take control and get us up the pitch.

    Played a low press with an attacking midfield

    No wonder it went badly wrong

    Our tempo at training must be poor

    Nowhere near them and can't keep the ball for any length of time

    Yet another nil against our name

    They have 2 weeks to get the basics right

    We have performed poorly for weeks and it was put down to tireness

    No excuses on that front

    In that case, we're fecked.

    As soon as any pressure / closing down by the opposition is applied we go to pieces at passing or control, there is absolutely no composure.

    Someone in midfield has to take some kind of responsibility, JDH simply didn't want the ball today.

    Also in addition to my previous post, something I’ve kept quiet on because I really wanted to give the boy a chance and give myself time to see what others were seeing, but I just don’t get the Erhahon thing at all. He’s extremely sloppy in possession, dwells on the ball far too much and is rash in the tackle. 
    The occasional lovely slide rule ball, for me is simply not enough to justify his downsides. 
    Really not a fan at all.

    Realise I’ll probably be in a very small minority with this view. 

    Small minority yes, but not incorrect.

    Erwin for Connolly should have happened 10/15 before it did. 
    We needed someone with pace to patch in to knock ons... instead we had Erwin taking a touch and losing the ball. Once even losing it final 3rd on the attack and almost resulting in a goal conceded. Baffling. 

    Erwin reads the knock-ons well, manages to get himself into good positions...........and then he gets the ball.  Absolutely dreadful.

    We’re all frustrated by tonight. Think we expected something from the game. The injury changed game and the penalty was very soft. So it’s on to Aberdeen and a number of winnable games coming up at home. Fact we are disappointed and yet the club is sitting sixth with games in hand shows progress

     This concerns me more than the result.

    He covered a lot of ground and stopped lots of their attacks. He also got the ball forward more times than any of the rest of our players. His distribution was also better than most of the rest of our team.. though the standard wasn't hard to beat...

    Not sure what role you think he plays and what else you expected from him...

    I expect all of this, but none of this happened.

    This particular guy is terrible. When I hear it's him commentating I look forward even more getting back into the stadium where I won't have to suffer him. It's a discussion not a commentary. He never even said Hibs had a penalty until it was about to be taken. If you were on audio only you wouldn't have a clue what was going on. I presume he is not paid so maybe I shouldn't be so critical

    he wasn't sure who the red card was for 😆

    I don't think he is that great - He has had 2 good games and a number of ok ones, but quite a few not so good too

    Agreed.  I keep hearing though that he was Ross County captain so he must be great ? He's a full back that can't stop balls into the box FFS.

    Thought we did not bad in second half despite being a man down, got up the park and scored a brilliant goal.  Tonight's defeat was entirely avoidable, all down to our mistakes.
