    I thought Hemir did well when he came on, showed for everything and pressed well. Would love to see him get a goal, it would really be a confidence booster.

    Agree with all the comments posted! Mine are

    - Ekwah Mom with about 15 other contenders
    - Chris Rigg can be as good anything we've seen
    - Always nice to get the first 5-0 out of the way early

    If Donald and Salmon Pants had still been here he would have been sold for peanuts long ago to keep the lights on

    Still shaking my head and smiling at that performance. Worthy of the 5-0. Excellent defensively from the whole team as well. Fought to a man and looked like a well-drilled team.

    Ekwah was tremendous. Top drawer play winning the ball then the early shot for his second goal. Really pleasing to see his defensive play improve so much - even from a game or two ago. Chased back hard, read the play and got in the right positions to cut out the danger.

    Assist of the season so far from Bennette. The skill and cross got the finish it deserved with the expertly executed header from Rigg. Over the moon for both of them. All the players deserve the praise today. In fact, the whole club does.

    Enjoy your day folks and best wishes to everyone who’s got stuff going on at the moment.

    About Hemir.
    OK, he didn’t score but he is getting into scoring positions and it’s only a matter of when they start going in.
    Ba.
    He was so much better today than against Coventry.

    All of them done great today but the picture I remember most is when Ballard had Rigg over his shoulder just after he had scored.
    It was like a proud Dad with his son.

    What do you even say about that? Some special players playing for us and are proper representatives of our club.

    Was surprised to see clarkes celebration for someone so unhappy and wanting to be away, it’s as if those journos were talking **** for some reason.

    motm for Ekwah for me. Ballard and Clarke were incredible too but everyone put in a top performance. Pint(s) time!

    Yes you did. Some bloke in his 40s who should know better might well have been singing "you can shove your Ross Stewart up your arse" at one point

    I really hope they never give him media training. He’s perfect like this. So authentic
