No one is convincing me we've not just signed @RossP to play in goals.

Crusaders themselves have confirmed the move. Bit odd that the P & J is reporting the source for the transfer as some local news paper.

Despite allegedly attracting English Premier League and Championship interest Musa has signed for Crusaders FC...

Ask @Donview and @RedCard.

I can't imagine there are many fans desperate for more games in the Challenge Cup. Against B teams. In the middle of the week.

That's exactly what they're doing. All aimed at getting B teams more game time to the detriment of other sides. This is the Challenge Cup though not the League Cup. Your point about our appalling record in the LC still stands. I think we had our best run in the LC under Foran...!!

That was nothing more than a carrot dangled to ICT fans giving hope he might stay for a bit longer.

Hark! A new episode of The Wyness Shuffle appears!

The club have announced the (recent) passing of former player Wayne Addicoat. https://ictfc.com/wayne-addicoat/ It seems he passed away last week according to a family member on social media. Thoughts are with his family and friends.

It liked like Gill palmed / fumbled the cross just in front of him and Gilmour battled with a Stenny player for the loose ball. As both slid in the ball ricocheted off Gilmour and into the net.

Spoiler alert - he blames everyone but himself for the horrendous job he did at ICT. He's a deluded fool.

The same Courier of course that were writing about him as some kind of savior when he appeared on the scene despite have multiple red flags that made anyone with half a brain wary of what he was trying to do.

With Bavidge now confirmed as being out for the rest of the season I am feeling very, very nervous about the final few games. I don't expect anything from Cove or Arbroath. If we get a draw in either of those games it'll be a great result. Arbroath will probably have the cigars out when we play them so perhaps we grab something unexpected there? Kelty looks like our best chance of winning any of the remaining games but I thought they looked good in the recent fixture against them so I'm not taking that as a certainty. Montrose and Stenny away will hopefully yield something but I wouldn't also be surprised if we ended up with two losses given our goal scoring profligacy. So I think we take somewhere between 3 and 7 points from our last five games. Anan also have Cove and Arbroath in their final fixtures but at home and could they each have the cigars out by then allowing them to sneak unexpected points? Hopefully not but the away fixture against our Administration Brothers Dumbarton looks pivotal. QotS are diabolical away from home so there's a good chance Annan get a win there but probably won't get much from Alloa. I think Annan will take at least 6 points from their remaining fixtures so I'm expecting a tumultuous final few weeks of the season.

My word!

As @CaleyD notes Paul Chalk has appeared on the podcast previously (at least 3 or 4 times now I think) and when he does write pieces that lift material from the podcast he does credit it which is appreciated. It isn't always the case however that a paper acknowledges the source. When we did the interview with John Robertson some 2 or 3 years ago now during which he opened up about struggles during COVID it got a fair bit of traction from the likes of the Scotsman / Edinburgh Evening News and Edinburgh Live (ugh) none of whom acknowledged the podcast as they scraped together an article as if it was their own. That was disappointing.
