I'm here, passed my morning fitness test and ready if called upon

That was a sore one. We were rank, but they were very good. We were just that little bit slow all over the park, and each time we were a half second too late to the ball, they capitalised. The first goal, Shinnie gets beaten, but he'd be expecting Devlin to be a bit closer in order to easily block the angle of the shot, but it was an absolute belter of a finish. The subsequent goals were all a variation on that theme. Shinnie and Armstrong weren't a great pairing, but Palaversa, Polvara and Clarkson all came on and struggled (Palaversa got walked around twice in the lead up to their fifth, making Shinnie look like a spritely twenty year old). Keskinen struggled defensively, but I think Jensen was probably worse on that side unfortunately. Dorrington didn't look great, and Milne struggled too. Thought Lazetic was probably one of our top performers, and I'd have given him our MOTM if it hadn't been for the work of Yengi when he came on. Anyway, the worst part is that we have to play again on Sunday, and Hibs are probably decent. We ran ourselves into the ground chasing shadows tonight, and that will take its toll. I expect Lazetic might be rested, which is not what we need (a good argument to say that we should have given Nisbet a run out instead, but I suspect we'd drained the subs by that point). There's nothing great about this conference league shite it has to be said!

Aye, but it's new, so we don't like to get sweat on it.

Secret weapon on.

@Jute2 is a lot slower than the old one

Fascinating story actually. There are a couple of videos online about it. I think there were a couple of players that would have been banned from their last Highland League game that season had it been played as originally scheduled for the Saturday. They brought the game forward a few days so those players could play and after a lot of debate the league that year was voided. Awfully controversial at the time.
