Boston Red Sox

I’ll wait and see what plays out  in the next month, probably not renew if the ambition is to deliver the same mediocrity as last year.

Bizarre behavior for a TV pundit

Northern lights over the toon tonight

Heard the wee team were in for Brad Holmes

I was at the meeting and would disagree with most of this. The first two points in particular are a million miles away from my view of the meeting.

Like I said just my perception of things.

Perhaps it's just me reading not the room but taking time to reflect on the evening:

• Mr Cook seemed disinterested and somewhat disingenuous with some replies. Perhaps be mindful it is not an owner/CEO speaking to employees, it's customers being addressed
• McPake looked like a dead man walking, the focus of the evening was things he and the players got wrong (summarised in his reply to the question on "have you heard of a high press")
• A feeling that there was an acceptance that even though we had the highest average attendance in almost 20 years we exceeded our target of 40 points (for me that is simply not acceptable, our target would have seen us in a playoff spot and we have to aspire to be better than this)
• Targets for next year were vague other than we need to put the Raith thing to bed (oh how the mighty have fallen) and when pressed a reluctant agreement we should be looking at the playoffs
• I genuinely feel the support are taken for granted, I know many who have forked out a fair bit of coin supporting the club in various forms and offered superb support from the stands home and away. We are missing a trick with some of the ****e served up on the park by some players who are frankly not good enough. The last two seasons has seen so many youngsters showing an interest in the Pars but we have failed to capitalise on this and increase the fanbase with a series of inconstant performances. The attitude towards the QP and Inverness games was unacceptable in my opinion and we looked to have settled for mediocrity.

Just a bit meh to be honest and didn't come away feeling part of something.

Sad to hear that John Tod broke his leg recently too, he looks a player. Hope the laddie makes a quick and full recovery 

Nothing coming from last night gave me any hope that next season will be anything other than meh. I would much rather the club were a bit more transparent with the fans and set the stall out, here’s the plan, we’re not investing in players, anything better than consolidation is a bonus. It’s the hope that’s a killer.

I hate that😳

Ok so we can agree that there are a fair amount of aging fatties amongst us. I’m in 

More turgid ****, there’s something going on with this club that’s not right. A ****ehouse team like that should not be walking away with a point from east end. No drive or will to win, really poor the last few weeks

It is frustrating for the club.

It is a ****er that it's always Charlie D's that gets hit, but it's probably the least profitable part of hospitality on match days, so you can understand their decision making. 

Perhaps if they treated their staff a bit better (sending them home 5 mins before finishing time and docking them back half an hour etc) there wouldn’t be a staffing issue. Genuinely wouldn’t mind spending an extra ten bob a pint if it went on increasing from minimum wage. Last week it was quiet but generally it’s busy enough with thirsty chaps and should be turning a profit. At times the club needs to read the room as for me watching the pars isn’t about the attractive free flowing football, it’s a thing, it’s the day, it’s the folk that makes the club special. 

Hopefully all is well as those lads make for a good atmosphere

Done

I don't dislike McCann but if I were Sutherland I'd be wondering what I needed to do to get a crack at it. What's the worst that could happen? He didn't score, so net 0 worst case?

Very harsh, if Lewis McCann had been out there tonight against that standard of opposition he would've looked class. 

The amount of abuse that McCann receives is well over the top. 

All about opinion and I completely disagree with you. Seen him a few times and Sutherland is a more balanced all round player, looks composed, has better positional sense, holds the ball well, links in other players and can finish. That is not abuse aimed at McCann, more an observation directed at the manager.

Observations from tonight were

-How good the close control and intricate interplay was.

-Team looked like they understood their roles, what they were doing and looked liked they had actually trained together.

-How quickly the ball was moved about and with a variety of moves.

-Looks like we have absolute diamonds in John Tod and Ewan McLeod.

-How fIt the lads were (Taylor Sutherland was literally sprinting to close defenders down in the dying minutes)

-The work rate when not in possession was phenomenal and the high press made Livingston look like a rattled pub team for long periods.

-Lastly it’s concerning how our manager can look at Lewis McCann and think he is anywhere near to being the player that Taylor Sutherland is.

absolutely deserved victory tonight and well chuffed for the lads👍

Really good performance from the lads in the first half, by far the better team in the first half. The Todd and Sutherland brothers looking really good with ball at feet and the movement and shape is far better than the first team on Saturday. If this is what’s coming through the future is not so gloomy 

3-1 pars

Can you expand without giving away your source? 

Unfortunately not bud

Absolute apathy from me at the moment, if the weather is ok might go fishing on Saturday instead of enduring that again. Highlight of the match was watching Sneds having a quality rant about something.

Few stories doing the rounds about personnel leaving in the summer and changes afoot, if correct I'd have serious questions about the owners, 

We are meh
