Ah ha, when I was down at Burnpark on Monday night for the amateur decider that Tynecastle match came into my head. Wee Pele looked as perplexed and without a clue as he did that day. Was a sore one but all part of the glorious journey that's supporting our great (and dare I say) over achieving club.

When you’re just starting your supporting at an early age and your mates are all Old Firm fans results like Coleraine are hard to take however we’re a tough thick skinned breed at RP and always come back for more.....

Seasons like the one just past make it all worthwhile... 

More of the same please.

Jim McInally is not a fan of the competition:

"You have to wonder who drives this competition because, to me, there is absolutely no sense in bringing in Irish, Northern Irish, Welsh, colts and now two National League teams...I think it has spoiled a good competition. These teams coming into it just makes it tougher and tougher for lower league teams".
