| 84. Author: Berry Date: Sat 11th Jul 2026. 17:26 Said at the time of the draw this was a tough group, EK were always a banana skin and wasn’t too surprised to see us lose but the manner is disappointing. You get these results each season where there are shock defeats, happens to be our turn this season. Very disappointing given Lennon was clear on his objective for this competition which we’re on the brink of an exit already. Reply |
| 85. Author: kozmasrightfoot Date: Sat 11th Jul 2026. 17:27 Forgot all about this today, that is a coupon buster of a result. I really don`t know what to say. I noticed that most of the other teams such as us won comfortably today. First game and all that but still, 3 nil to to EK is bad. I`ve seen us have great starts to this tournament and then be bad in the league, and vice versa so who knows what will happen. A eye opener for Lennon though. Sounds like the keeper may not be up to scratch, but first game n all that. Our team looked decent on paper but not in action. Did the keeper keep the score down or was he at fault? Did we create anything going forward? Did we battle hard in midfield? Are we dooooooomed? Pars fan. Magpies fan. Mens tennis fan. Alternative rock fan. Not a fan of much else. Reply |

| 87. Author: Geordiepar Date: Sat 11th Jul 2026. 17:36 Got to admit saw the starting line up and put EK on my coupon. (decent value at 17/5). No midfield and a totally untested defence. At least things can only get better from here. Reply |
| 88. Author: Never10yairds Date: Sat 11th Jul 2026. 17:39 Dreadful performance. Two good centre backs, a central midfielder, a goalie and a right wing back needed urgently. Really bitterly disappointed with not just the result but the manner in which we lost the goals. Absolutely amateur. Nowhere near good enough. Hope the pen gif has a busy week or two before the league starts. Reply |
| 89. Author: king lad Date: Sat 11th Jul 2026. 17:40 Dibaga didn`t do much wrong or right really, was left completely at sea by his defence. Cleall-Harding and John Tod didn`t deal with anything through the middle, Kearney and Fraser had terrible performances. One of those games where everyone was poor and East Kilbride turned up. Certainly could do with some experience in the backline and need some bite in midfield. I don`t mind releasing Hammy but you have to replace him with another battler in midfield. In attack, just shocking. Four individuals that rarely managed to link up to produce anything and when they did the finishing was awful. No need to hit the panic button but also don`t think you can blame anyone for being concerned at just how poor a performance that is in the first competitive game against opposition in the league below us. Hopefully can bounce back with a much better game at home to Dumbarton on Tuesday. Reply |
| 90. Author: Berry Date: Sat 11th Jul 2026. 17:46 The last two goals were horrendous. John Tod isn’t ready for the first team, neither is Bray, Kearney - Morrison has really been a poor signing so far as well. This competition has come too quickly for us, as we are still short 4 or 5 players. Post Edited (Sat 11 Jul 17:46) Reply |
| 91. Author: General Zod Date: Sat 11th Jul 2026. 17:48 Our signing policy for this season has been underwhelming so far but I do t know much about Irish football so I’m no expert. I also don’t know how much longer I can say the jury is still out on Morrison for me. He’s lost a bit of pace and isn’t scoring goals really. Seems like he won’t be dropped either. Reply |

Agree on the panic button..... however it was one of the worst performances, never really in it, you`d hope for spells of pressure but they were non-existent. We didn`t know whether to press or defend and ultimately did neither and rarely put one of the smallest keepers (databases have him at 6ft 2in, he was 5ft 8in at best) under any pressure. Poor Gameplan, Lennon picked a team envisioned to have a lot of the ball, they didn`t and struggled to win any scraps. In terms of the competition, 7 goals behind St Mirren, so going to need a barrowload in the next two to go to Paisley still with a shout of progression. Reply |
| 93. Author: Paralex Date: Sat 11th Jul 2026. 17:57 I thought Morrison was very effective when he came on against Clyde a couple of weeks ago. Looked like the best man on the pitch. Reply |

| 95. Author: General Zod Date: Sat 11th Jul 2026. 18:13 Anyone hear someone shout to “go back to Zimbabwe” at the new keeper today? That’s awful from whatever ringpiece said it. That’s the real embarrassment. Reply |
| 96. Author: Rusty Shackleford Date: Sat 11th Jul 2026. 18:40 General Zod, Sat 11 Jul 18:13 Today was undoubtedly absolutely awful, one of the worst matches I`ve attended in a long time but the absolute head losses from a few folk around me were quite something. Make no mistake, the Tod brothers are firmly in the crosshairs of elements of the support as well. Fun times. Reply |
| 97. Author: Bamba-Daft Date: Sat 11th Jul 2026. 18:44 John Tod is just simply not ready to be first choice centre back. Simple balls over the top catch him out time and time again. Watching the highlights of those goals, what on earth are both centre backs doing so wide? also, p*ss poor from Gilmour to just give up when the boy goes one on one. Embarrassing for a captain to do that regardless of the score. Reply |
