See it - I have been in it and challenged by an overenthusiastic steward. My main concerns is that the nearest pub I spotted was 1/2 mile away on the main street.

There's a wee bar in the stand behind the goals at Brechin . Only bottles, cans and shorts though, no draught lines.

They haven't done official shirt names and numbers for many a year. In fact I don't think anywhere in town does anymore. Apparently you have to buy a minimum amount of them and it didn't wash it's own face. 

I might be wrong but, I think Double T in the Victorian Market still do it....

Aye, I saw that.

The Twitter account 'Mr Fly On The Wall' says that the striker is Curacao international Felitciano Zschusschen.  Formerly of FC Twente and now in the German fourth tier at Saarbrucken.

Aye, that account has been wrong on many occasions in the past but has been pretty much on the money recently. Zschusschen. was on trial with Dundee Utd at the end of last year but didn't get offered a deal.

Here he is

Was hearing on Saturday that we've only got 14 fit players. Maybe something to do with that ?

Calder is primarily a winger but can play left back and centre midfield. Good to get another promising versatile player signed up !

Surely if messrs; Warren, Raven, Boden, Fon-Williams, Mulraney  and McNaughton are not back training today we can assume they are not part of Robertson's plans. I don't buy any suggestion that they were "still on holiday" - they had a full month to have their holiday and senior players should not be missing the first week of pre-season training given the season we've just experienced. Looking at the 17 players in the training pic which was circulating last week we have a very limited group to choose from and need reinforcements urgently.

Bear in mind Robbo asked the squad to come in for pre-season a week early. It's not unreasonable for some to be still on holiday.

Nick Ross has been officially released by Dundee. Worth a shout IMO

We're going to have ex-Motherwell defenders Joe Chalmers and David Ferguson up training with us according to the P&J.

I think it could well be back on the table in a couple of years time, once the shape of the Brexit deal is clearer. 

Although it might also depend on how many more general elections we have had by then.

Here in England, people were compaining about 2 GEs and the EU referendum in successive years. Scotland has also had the indyref and the Holyrood election, so you must all be sick fed up of campaigning politicians. I feel that election fatigue must have played a large part in apparently reducing the appetite for indyref2.

I'd agree with that. Scotland has had some form of election/referendum every 5.2 months since September 2014

David Mundell on Sunday Politics proved yet again that the Scottish Tories concentrate on the 'No to Indyref2/SNPBad'  rhetoric knowing they've got nothing else left to convince people to vote for them. 

As for Scottish Labour, well this about sums them up.....

Sturgeon, obviously, because she made a request in the full knowledge that it would not be granted. That is the epitome of "playing politics".

She is perfectly entitled to request a referendum of course, and equally the PM is perfectly entitled to decline it at this juncture. With 2/3rds of Scots being against a 2nd referendum, we are in the strange and unprecedented situation of the UK PM standing up for the people of Scotland while our FM pursues an agenda against our wishes!

What are you basing the 2/3rds figure on out of interest ? 

Saw this pop up on twitter. Not seen it anywhere else though so doubtful of how true it is.

From what I can gather these are the players out or struggling for tomorrow

Out

McNaughton

Horner

Meekings

Doran

Struggling

Raven

King

If King misses out that leaves us with one natural wide player in Mulraney. That means a good chance of a chronic lack of width in the team come 3pm a la Hamilton in midweek

Chat at the game was that Doran was injured. I think I heard someone say he was suffering from this sickness bug that appeared to be affecting one or two of the players.

Aye, Doran himself confirmed this on twitter.

NOW THEN

Some contrasting injury news today................

On the plus side

Good news.  Hopefully now, with all talk of an impending move out of the way for a few months, he can settle down and get back his form to the level of previous seasons.

Aye, but Tansey was already signed until the end of the season anyway 

Boden would be as well leaving tbh. He's not had a sniff of 90 minutes in ages and that's not gonna change with the system we're playing. His departure and a nippy attacker a la Storey coming in is what is needed.
