Pish do you seriously believe that the coaching staff, Sk etc would knowingly pick a player to start a game who they knew to be not fit to play, or would a player start a game if he knew he was not up to it, I think not, so stop talking shite.

Are people seriously suggesting that whatever happens at training sessions is somehow contributing to players getting injured? Yes we have more than our fair share of injuries right now but these can happen at any time, a player can get out of bed the wrong way and injure himself ffs The amount of players we have out just now is just bad luck nothing more sinister so let's just all move on, nothing to see here.

Why was it idiotic? He's signed, selected to start so he must be fit to play, so what's the issue you have with that?

I hope not but nobody will be surprised at that scoreline, given our available squad.

1st game back up in top league for Groningen tonight and KVV is not in the 1st team squad, I think his days are numbered.

Well said, I've emailed the club every close season for the last few years to get the bird crap cleaned and it never is, the seats never get cleaned either unless the wind blows the rain in. And while I'm on a rant, the gents toilets on the POD south side still have adverts featuring Joe Efford, someone needs to step up and get the minor details sorted, cleaning seats and removing out of date adverts is not rocket science.

Agree with this but I'm fully expecting to get nothing from this game given the injuries we have. We have a tough run of fixtures coming up so the prospect of another winless run looms large, I hope not so who knows.

Fixing the front of the stand after the new pitch was laid, and having to install barriers and emergency exit gates I think.

Agree its Outrageous , section A 1 and A2 I think they said so a shit view in a shit stadium. How can prices like that encourage people to attend games. Motherwell are just as bad, it was £26 for seats in the POD for Ross County on Saturday.

Always calm, Do you really believe that Nicholson was serious when he allegedly said he needs 2 new knees and ankles, what shocked you most not recognising the sarcasm or was it his attempt at humour. The point is when we scouted him, and then signed him he was fit, so blaming SK for making a mistake after he gets a subsequent injury is nonsense.

So Nicholson is a chancer now , a self proclaimed gone wrong, who no doubt conned the doctors, physios, coaching staff etc to gain a contract. And you were shocked at the time, aye OK then ffs what a load of shite 🤦‍♂️

How can you blame SK for Nicholson getting injured ffs, you don't sign a player by using "he's been injured before so it might happen again" as a reason. He obviously passed a medical etc so how is it a mistake, every footballer in the world has been injured at some point in their careers. Sk can be blamed for a few things but trying to pin this on him is just nonsense.

The 2 candidates from America seems a bit strange, unless it's weeyin or Texanwellfan wanting to get involved. I guess Barmack managed to convince them how good we were 🙂

When everyone is fit we are going to have some size of squad with a lot of them not getting very much game time. I thought the plan this season was quality not quantity it's early days so I hope the new arrivals so far live up to the quality tag.

Most people do, thats borderline banjo country out there.

As i said in the original post, they go in the south stand as do 99% of the away fans, the only reason the RC fans are in the side of the POD is because it's not worth opening the south stand for such small numbers. Although they do seem to take a random approach to it as the Edinburgh city fans were in the top tier for the league cup game.

£5 or £10 off a ticket price would not have persuaded any more RC fans to travel down from Dingwall yesterday, most away supports are terrible it only the uglies, Hearts and Hibs that get anywhere near filling the south stand. Also is it not against league rules to charge fans different price for similar areas of the ground ,plus offering a Say £5 discount to the 200 odd RC fans who turned up on Saturday would cost the club £1K, repeat the same with the uglies and it's 4,000 fans at £5. So it's not good fiscal policy.

Clubs like St Mirren and Kilmarnock suffer the same issue as we do ie we all play in west central Scotland and as such the vast majority of the football fans are following the ugly sisters. As far as I can recall our support has been at or around the level it's at now for the last 40 odd years irrespective of how well we do or not. St and Killie have slightly bigger supports but not by a great deal. We can run various offers and schemes etc and crowds may increase temporarily but over the season they will average out to their current levels. Our potential fanbase is limited and that was the main concern i had and still have re the WS making fan ownership effective. So for me id rather have long term initiatives to improve the fan experience for our core support instead of short term projects that ultimately show no long term benefit, we are what we are.

Are the catering points not run by a 3rd party company the same as the shop? I agree the potential cost may not be large but I get the impression that every penny is a prisoner at Fir park so the less they spend the happier everyone is

Judging by what I seen of Rangers yesterday against Hearts that statement would equally apply to them, they are nothing special, so a win for us would not surprise me either.

It's all down to finances, a pay at the gate option would require a dedicated turnstile in every section of the ground to be set-up with cash and card payment methods, trained operators, someone to collect the cash, count it, take it to the bank etc so a significant outlay to set up. These days it's becoming harder to find places that actually take cash, card is king. So the club might not think it's worth the outlay. But I fully agree if you are trying to encourage people to attend you need a PATG option for each stand. I'm sure the WS can deal with it going forward.

Trying too hard, turn the sarcasm filter down.

Spittal came on 2nd half last 20 mins I think, like for like swap with Dhanda.

Should have won today so 2. Points thrown away, RC were dreadful and never looked like scoring. Can't understand taking Ebiye off and bringing on Wells , we were allegedly trying to win the game so an extra striker would have been the better option. There is no width in the team, so that needs to be addressed , but that said we never lost so and are joint top so onwords and upwards.

Given his recent performance and the shit show that the Barmack offer turned into he should not have a choice, go and never darken the door again should be the response to him.
