I would say we’re getting there McCallum was a loss, but while I think he’ll go far, his boots aren’t the biggest to fill. He improved as the season went on, but he wasn’t an absolute stand out for me nor absolutely pivotal to our success. The key is whether Giles is a good enough replacement...

Great signing, another reason to be optimistic about the season. But let’s turn it into a why haven’t we signed a striker / our budget is shit thread. As of course, this signing clearly means we now won’t be signing a striker. Pask can play DM, RB and CB; he’ll get a chance. Plus, if he’s good...

Finding a new route is genuinely the only thing I enjoy about running! Even now I’m finding new routes/cut through/bridal paths etc. While discovering new routes is less so now, I tend to just mix/match previous routes and give a week(s) gap between using the same paths etc. That way while it...

Slightly disappointed in myself the last few weeks, I’ve gone from a weekly half at the weekends and a weekly distance of ~40/45miles per week, to no weekly half so far in August and a weekly average of 30/35 miles. The main factor is increased socialising since Lockdown eased. It impacts...

Ours starts next week too; brilliant timing! Especially with baby number two a few weeks away.

I don’t tend to use lol, but I’m not sure it negates the words before it? In which case your post implies you were panicking as it reminds you of our last Championship pre season (which was terrible I 100% agree). The fact you’ve just mentioned you did mean we should strengthen our squad in your...

Looking forward to seeing it, but I fear it’s going to get slated regardless - last seasons was incredible and hard to match, coupled with the fact our fans love to moan. Christ, just the teaser sparked a negative reaction. The extended wait isn’t happening.

Based on what? As far as we’re aware it hasn’t been a reason for anyone else.

Come on, you’re better than that. There’s zero need to panic; even if we went into the season as is I’d back us to stay up. The pessimism on this forum is getting to people.

Even more excited now I’ve seen the fixture list, and still cautiously optimistic about our season. Despite the fact Kelly, McFadzean and Godden are all not going to make the step up, Hillsner is overweight and shite and we haven’t yet signed an Arsenal youngster the majority of the forum...

Quite pleased I wasn’t around for this on Saturday, quite a lot of negativity. To balance that; if fitness and match sharpness are our biggest concerns, I think we’ll be ok. Fitness and sharpness are easily improved, technical ability isn’t.

Unfortunately I think it’s an unanswerable question! I’ve tired loads but nothing really works. As someone else said, I tend to just eat a load of shit food (McDonalds breakfast, pizza etc), plus chocolate/sweets. The carbs and sugar help. Saying that my first statement wasn’t quite true...

Remember when people threw pigs on the pitch because SISU were the devil?* *by no means saying SISU are perfect, but surely actions like this highlight the duplicity of CCC.

Take away the history and the anti SISU/CCC/Wasps stuff, and the simple question to the council is still valid; how are the benefits to the local economy of investing this much in the Ricoh for a Judo/Wrestling event in anyway comparable to supporting the Championship football team, established...

Lost a little bit of mileage the last two weeks, down from an average of ~45miles to ~32 the last two. The first was due to a weekend away so I couldn’t do my weekend half, and while I managed one 5k, I didn’t fancy running the other few days after a few drinks the previous evenings, and it was...

Would be a great signing for the multitude of reasons people have suggested. I think he’s a good player with good potential, and there’s definitely legs in the rumour. Great to see we haven’t abandoned our strategy of signing younger players to develop, and in fact we’ve enhanced it by signing...

Forgiven. Although it’s unlike you not to be positive.

Sod the negativity around the announcement. Support the club, regardless of politics - too many people missed out last year because of this, and if they do so again, it’s their loss. I enjoy St Andrews for a multitude of reasons, and the fact that by playing there means we aren’t helping to...

Looking forward to seeing us play for the first time in months, even if it isn’t in person. If Dabo/Rose are out, then our strongest team is probably; Marosi Rose McFadzean Hyam Pask Kelly Hamer Giles O’Hare Allen Godden (Didn’t realise how much I missed typing out our predicted team!). I’d...

At the start of last season I was incredibly optimistic, and told anyone who would listen we were getting promoted. I have the same sense of optimism this season, albeit I’m not expecting promotion. I do think we’ll surprise people though and have an outside chance of challenging for playoffs...
