Dundee United v Inverness Caledonian Thistle 
Dunfermline Athletic v Dundee

[HousTON 15]

Followed by Alloa at home, Partick at home then Inverness away.

[Madton 244]

Decent first 3 games to start with, could have been a lot worse.

 

We also finish with

 

Home to Ayr

Away to Alloa

Home to Queens.

 

Should secure the title for us with that finish!

 

Edit- Falkirk away to Peterhead, classic seaside trip that!

[Toby 3940]

Inverness away on a Tuesday night in early March is an absolute belter.

[Tonton Zola Moukoko 8]

Definitely a favourable looking end to the season on paper. Would be nice if we have secured a playoff spot by then but if not you would be hoping for maximum points there. Guess we may be thinking differently once it rolls around but for right now I would be hoping 3 wins were achievable.

[Hej 194]

Away to Little Ayr is a splendid way to start the season.

 

We've got Partick H and Arbroath A as the Christmas/New Year fixtures. Not on the traditional dates of 26th and the 1st however.

Ayr away is a cracking first game big away support gd day out

Has the challenge cup been binned this season?

[LargsTON 3213]

Lets hope so.

[TheGoon 541]

Has the challenge cup been binned this season?

Don’t think so, draw should be in a few weeks.

[port-ton 98]

The sun website saying that a consortium of billionaires are interested in buying Partick Thistle. No idea what sudden interest in Scottish lower leagues are from random investors.

[vikingTON 3040]

Because any self-respecting billionaire would of course feel the need to join together with Saudi oil princes and Russian gas tycoons before handling an absolute, two-bob, fucking nothing club like Partick fucking Thistle.

[TopCat 76]

More of that "off the radar wealth" that's served Scottish clubs so well in the past.

[Mr Toon 89]

Strong rumours that Kearney is about to leave St Mirren and be replaced by Jim Goodwin. If so Alloa will do well to replace him with someone as effective as he has been for them.

They will be just fine.

[DreamOakTree 241]

It’s a bit more than rumours, he’s been given an ultimatum to move to dirty Paisley slum or leave the club!

[The Bewilderedbeast 205]

He’s supposed to have fallen out with them because Gus McPherson has been given the job of bringing players in.

Challenge Cup

 

Bohemians and Waterford will represent Ireland in the competition, with both SSE Airtricity League sides entering in the third round which gets underway on 7 September.

 

Should just give them a bye to the Final and be done with it

[TRVMP 3651]

So after "Bohs" made a mockery of the competition last year, they are invited back?

 

Just end this absolute sham of a tournament, what a disgrace.

Goodwin knocked back Dundee because he was going to have a DoF above him running things so if its going to be the same at the skunks, im not sure he will take it.

Maybe ‘Bohs’ got caught short?

[capitanus 3325]

They did it on purpose.

[Alan_Partridge_Ton 399]

They did it on purpose.

Disgusting!

Just been reading about this now. Seemingly Kearney sold his flat in Scotland and was going to commute daily back and forth to Belfast. I can understand St Mirren questioning his dedication to the job in that case.

 

The fact that the Coleraine managers job hasn't been filled yet, together with his former PE teachers job, makes it look he's been trying to work his ticket out of the club without resigning and walking away with no payout.

 

Anyway, Goodwin is a stick OK for that job now I reckon. I'll be happy to see the back of him, he certainly had us sussed last season.

Kris Doolan signs with Ayr.
