Down Kirkcaldy high street Drinking in the middle of the street? Or out for a team meal? They were down the street on the lash, until when I don't know, come on now it's a well known thing, don't play ignorant, unfortunately I don't have any photographic evidence as I wasn't there but know a few that were. If you want to ignore it and choose it as a lie then that's upto you.

Doesnt matter if they were getting hammered on the high street out for a team meal or getting guttered in the Beveridge park the fact is they shouldn't have been out the night before a game it doesn't matter what kind off game it is fans are paying good matter expecting there team to play to the best off there ability if they want to have a team meal by all means have one but do it during the week not on the night off a game And I think that this is absolute rubbish I have absolutely no problem with players being out the night before a game after, having played a game, for a few drinks I don't believe for a second that they were on the lash or getting hammered I do believe that they were socialising as team and bonding as a team over a couple of drinks after a good win In many other jobs people go out after a days work and have a couple of drinks. Why should it be any different for Flyers players But hey that is just me and I have no problem with it unless they really are getting hammered but I wasn't there so I have no idea

Only thing being consumed after games should be protein fats and carbs. Other teams tweet images off shakes etc from club nutrition sponsors to show the players are preparing to be at their best, flyers going out for a drink with a game the next day is just wrong. It's alright saying folk in other jobs do it but when being at your best physically is key for your job drinking the day/night before isn't an option. Look at it this way they won yesterday do the same tonight and then go for a drink (don't agree with even that buts that's just my opinion). Need to bare in mind folk are paying a lot of money to watch these guys.

Pre season is there to get match fit, a few drinks or a mad night out doesn't help. If this went on in Sheffield or Cardiff they'd be out the door, pretty sure Paul Thomson has a 3 strike rule.

Well there was this, for starters! "Reading about all the real games in the league... whilst our conference takes part in a kiddy on, made up cup, competition which is just there to fleece the fans even more. And which by the looks of it failed miserably by the low attendance" As I already pointed out that is directed at teams in our conference and not the Flyers. Is this weekend an attempt to fleece fans? Pretty much yeah it is something all fan bases of the four teams have commented on across social media. Attendance to yesterday was by all accounts very poor so fans have clearly decided not to attend. The poster of that comment is allowed to have their own opinion and you can obviously retort back. There is however no need for the "this forum" garbage that went along with your POV. Sorry what "this forum" garbage? What a breathtaking level of paranoia! What would you like me to call this forum? That forum? Our forum? Flyers forum? They are all out to get us forum? Also thanks for pointing the out obvious that we are all allowed an opinion. Good to know

Sometimes the Flyers really cannot win on this forum. This cup competition is part of the pre season build up and still they get a hard time for participating. If they didn't have these games they would get grief for not organising enough friendlies yet when they do people are still not happy as they are not part of a serious competition. Well you said it! More than a few are willing to take a general pop at this forum for people voicing opinions and for me its getting pretty pathetic. Im not directing this at you or singling you out but your original post jumps to conclusions about folk on here not being happy with the pre season schedule the team have put together. When the opposite is true folk on here have long spoken about the need for a proper pre season and training camp which we have had this season and it has been rightly praised. So your insinuation that regular user's on here are moaning about this is in fact completely wrong. Your generic use of the the phrase "this forum" is your way off suggesting nobody has anything good to say about the club at any point and IMO that is wrong.

And you are still seeing something that is not there. Yes I used the term "this forum" but what am I supposed to call it?

How about stop generalising that the forum is full of people who moan with no basis or fact and just take pot shots at the club for no reason. You know exactly like you did in your first sentence.

I have to agree and this is why I very rarely parted with money last year and seems it will be the same this year, there are suppose to be pros playing a hard physical game that has demands on your body going out the night before a game is just criminal and basically sticking 2 fingers up at the fans

And still you won't answer my question about what to call "this forum" If it is all the same with you I think I will stick with using "this forum" when discussing "this forum". It just seems to fit "this forum", that means we both win. As I use the phrase that best fits "this forum" and you get to read into it whatever paranoid delusions you like. Win, win I think. Got to love the banter on "this forum"
