The double whammy is he’s missed most of the pre-season & played about 20 minutes of football (Buckie, so barely counts) from early June with Scotland, through to probably the end of August.

Qualification update

if we win we are seeded

if we draw we qualify unseeded

if we lose we qualify unseeded

[Specky Ginger]

All that's needed is a carve up like West Germany v Austria in the 1982 World Cup.

We score early, then we piss about, you get through as group winners and we go through as runners up.

Ross County battering East Fife fucked the draw part. Could have been seeded if we drew + bonus point if they had scored 1 goal less ffs.

Raith aren't going through as runners up if they lose.... they need 2 points minimum to take queen of souths' space in the next round.

No SPFL team deserves to go through seeded if they fail to pick up maximum points, we should be beating Raith comfortably at home.

Well yes. I was just saying we could have got away with a draw and pen win if East Fife didn't get blootered iday.

You'll recognise me. I'm a white male between 20-55. Wearing a red top. Just come up to me and punch me in the face, so I know it's you

[fine-n-dandy]

Our own fault for being so dreadfully shite admittedly, that we fully deserved to be put out by RR last season but it would be nice to return the favour to them this season.

No sympathy/mercy. Batter the fk out of them

[Joe pike]

What size of crowd we looking at ?
 

10,400

[The Lighthouse]

We should not be contemplating defeat against Raith Rovers....if that happens we are back to the abysmal shite of last season.

Does your Apple or Google wallet work?

 

Should be fine in them, unless that's what you mean by your NFC being fucked. 

[Ke1t]

So many new players that I'm expecting some kind of uneven form when we start in among the better sides

Hopefully cuff Raith and give ourselves the best possible chance of a cup run.

I've modest expectations this season, top 6, cup runs, no relegation worries.

Maybe play attacking football, if we're feeling extra sexy.

No losses to Killie, thanks.

I'd be pissed off if its less than 16,000, especially as its against our biggest rivals....

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Just hope we can get the new stadium finished in time.

Home game time to give the fans a show.  5-0.   

[Dynamo]

Shouldn't be worrying about any permutations re seedings. Just win the game, and win it well.

Canna see Raith going for that tbh mostly due to the fact they need 2 or 3 points.
