'Venom' is too strong a word. It is my opinion that, however good though Paul Cook may have been in the past, and he was probably 100 times better thn I ever was, he is not now Nationwide Conference material. At the age of 38 that is hardly surprising. My criticism is as much of the Manager for picking him, not just the player.

Discussion of teams and players has been going on since football began and I don't see why it should be excluded from this forum. Having stood on the Peel Park Terraces, as did my Father and Grandfather before me, and my Great Grandfather having been an Officer of the then Club in the 1880s, I feel that I have an interest in the well-being of this successor Club. If, however, discussion of players (and the Manager) is not allowed, and if there are other topics that are banned from discussion please let me know.

We have, at last, won a pre-season friendly (just), and although one should not read too much into these games, the results are not encouraging. Who are Dundonald Bluebells and at what level of the struggling Scottish football scene do they play?
