We can't just release someone because we fancy it. This isn't Football Manager. The club will have tried to work something out between Carson and Gardyne, clearly it hasn't worked, maybe something else has happened behind the scenes that we aren't aware of and as a result the club have decided to move one of them on. Getting an agreement that works for all parties won't happen overnight, especially if one of the parties doesn't agree to what is being proposed, so perhaps it's not that surprising that it hasn't happened quickly. Anyway, it's done now and we now need to take whatever monies may be left in the budget and seek to improve the squad as our rivals are already getting reinforcements in for their own title / promotion pushes.

Also a bit concerned about where the probe ended up.

On the contrary, it is good news for our promotion bid. A source of dressing room unrest completely gone and a wage released to help us recruit.

Making way for A N Other perhaps?

How appropriate that he has gone to the Table Endies...

Allegedly sleeping with a team mates partner is in no way comparable to battering a woman with a shoe. One is a criminal offence the other is not (albeit it's not exactly stand up behaviour).

Ricky Calder had committed a serious criminal offence. Gardyne, whatever we may think of his conduct, did not.

I almost invariably wish our players well when they move on. Not so on this occasion. Gardyne's behaviour unsettled our dressing room for far too long and deprived us of a regular goal scorer in himself at a time when we were and continue to find goals hard to come by. I am sure, had he behaved better, we would have more points on the board at this stage and be leading the table. Goodbye and good riddance MG.

Pre-Season friendly against Montrose to see Carson turn Gardynes Shins into shrapnel?
