RiG

Fans might be a bit more sympathetic to the club if it had done anything but erode trust between the two groups over the last few years.

Scott Burns in the record. However, to correct what I've said it's reduced terms his been offered. So wages could be fine but contract length might be an issue.

Offering Mckay reduced wages to sign a new deal

What the hell are we thinking here releasing players by email?

To be honest I don't know but there did seem to be a pattern where the second seed played the first seed away in the last match of the round of fixtures but that didn't happen last season IIRC although we did play Livi away it wasn't the last match of the group. I wouldn't be surprised to see Dundee being one of the away games and knowing our luck it will probably be Airdrie away as well...

Bonnyrigg away please.

Paton at QotS has been banging the goals in but there may be a stumbling block over a development fee given we are unlikely to be shelling out any cash for players. Also rumoured to be heading to Livi or England so we won't be able to complete there if those rumours are true.

First point - does he though? We've gone through two or three seasons now with no "proper" right back. Carson has filled in admirably but many would argue that we still lack a dedicated RB. Equally, our lack of striking options for a good chunk of this season arguably falls at Dodds' door as well. Offloading Oakley and not bringing someone in to help Mckay was a bizarre move. It left us very light at a crucial time in the season. Second point - we've spent just as long in the top tier as we have done in the second. The SPL/Premiership has, until recently, been our level. If teams like Livingston and Saint Johnstone can remain in the top flight there is nothing to suggest that we couldn't do that and we should be aspiring to that level. Of course, there are plenty of other teams who will think like that but I completely disagree with the notion that the Championship is our level. It might be for a while but historically it has not been. I do agree however that to stay in the top flight we would really need a generous backer. It's becoming clear that trying to maintain full time football in Scotland outwith the top flight is becoming notoriously difficult. The losses sustained by Falkirk and others show that. Even MacGregor at Ross County seems to be talking about winding in the spending but I suspect they will keep writing blank cheques to offset their losses. And yes I am aware that we also have been bleeding cash

There's a few online sites saying Shaw is contracted until 2024. Can't see anything from the in confirming the length of the deal when his signing was announced. I thought he was on a 2 year deal as well but looks like that could be wrong.

Two year deal for Dodds announced.

And Dundee, Livingston and Saint Johnstone ETA: Just seen the Killie tweet. Apologies.

The club have confirmed that Deas will be moving on but state that offers being / have been made with updates to follow in the coming days.

Why? They didn't look nervous until the final 10 / 15 minutes when County seemed to realise they were in deep trouble. Some bottle job in fairness.

Allardice will be away as well. Obviously the likes of Henderson and MacKay will return to their parent clubs as well. Think we could see a few players move on this summer.

I doubt a side that has scored 18 goals in their last 5 games will be a bit nervous about their next game.

There was a recent Twitter storm about boo boys which I'm sure plenty of you are aware of. These tongue in cheek stickers are the result of that. The Buzz Lightyear should give folk a clue as well.

The home game against Dundee at the end of the 09/10 season would possibly come close. Dundee barely took any fans up and I think we had something like 6,000 there.

The latest episode of The Wyness Shuffle has a load of chat, interviews and other stuff as the guys look ahead to the game on Saturday. How do you like the sound of: Looking back at previous wins over Celtic with interviews with Stuart Golabek, Dennis Wyness, Ross Tokely and James Vincent? Captain Sean Welsh updating us on how preparations for the big day are coming along? A chat with Natasha Meikle from the Celtic State of Mind podcast? All you need to know about the Highland Fling on the Ferry? The reveal of another Cup Final song?

I believe that we won 2 - 0 against Nairn County.

Malkmus came with receipts.

Yes. I'd say Queens Parks collapse and end of season form is, obviously, much worse as we weren't seven points clear at the top of the table with only a handful of games left.

Four points from their last seven games. Ouch.

Woods isn't here on loan.

We won't have been offering contracts as we'll have had no definitive idea of what league we were going to end up in nor the playing budget to work with.
