And now, if you could be realistic...

Far bigger problems in defence to be honest. Mugabi has went from being a laughing stock to our best defender in a matter of weeks

And in other news... Even a broken clock is right twice a day

I’d expect Cove to know who/what they’re getting & what’s expected of them. That change in direction was influenced by Maurice Ross. I’m not convinced in its merit (probably why I’m not a licensed coach) - he certainly had more influence on a game in that role. Talented with strength that belies his years, his change has seen him drop out of Scotland youth reckoning with the courting of the academies at Liverpool, Southampton & the likes long gone.

It’s a difficult balance granted, can you give the “they’re not good enough” mantra a break as it’s simply not the case. Mixed messages form coaching department are in play too. Reserve matches may not give the full picture as much as loaning our prospects isn’t always the answer. Whilst good to see them get game time, their development depends on the structure of the loan and being at a suited club as much as the players’ application . Taking Jamie Semple as an example, Cove Rangers walked their league, given their backing and ambitions are expected to do similar this year - involved as the team are rarely on the backfoot doesn’t suggest a player will return to us game ready, but, playing against some experience is key?

You’ll be incandescent with rage when you find out they’ve committed to him signing a pre-contract agreement in January...

This presence In the opposition box you speak of... when has it ever been present?

Nonsense in your opinion, yet, back up your stance with a not entirely factual fan written report from Wikipedia? Deary me, neither viewpoint (redevelopment/progress elsewhere) is unlikely to happen so it’s a moot point.

Same league opposition.

Well aware all construction projects subject to such issues. Conjecture maybe... Are you saying the adjacent property owners’ position will have changed in around 60 years? That’s naivety in the extreme.

No logical connection? Have the adjacent properties which gave rise to the existing structure since been removed or would you just redevelop like for like? Hardly beneficial to the overall project... So, logical and consistent = coherent.

And that intensity couldn’t be recreated? It’s the people who create that, not any structure. Rebuild of a stand that couldn’t be completed when first constructed? Piffle.

Yes, he’s not on the substitute bench? Good players can play anywhere... Not quite getting where he’s best placed.

Played reserve matches, possible aggravation?

Yet, the empty jersey of O’Hara is exempt from criticism?

He’ll be visible in Coleraine. Champion

Is it too much to ask you wait on accounts being published? Being fan owned doesn’t automatically give right to financially sensitive information.

Surprises me the amount of our support who feel the club hold the aces in any proposed transfer of Turnbull

No matter thoughts of the traditionalists - white shorts with the home kit provide bad ju-ju. Get them in the bin.

He didn’t train & collected his belongings yesterday...

Semple has had a long term injury. Whilst Polworth my have spat the dummy, think it’s a stretch to say we could lose him.

He’s not playing against Glentoran.

Appreciated. Nappy wearers and porridge dribblers on here can now rejoice.

Stopped reading at O’Hara. Hailing his empty jersey as one of our best signings tells you all you need to know.
