  1. Also the new shirt sponsors of the England cricket team. They seem to be splashing a lot of cash just now.
  2. I am not sure that I would describe our signings so far as 'quality'. However, they are all experienced and perfectly able at Championship level and give us a chance of promotion this season. Given current circumstances and our financial constraints, that is probably all we can ask for just now. Definitely grounds for optimism.
  3. Two capable and experienced forwards signed in a single day. Very positive and at least one box ticked.
  4. Well worth a punt at Championship level and can be used sparingly as an impact substitute in the Premiership during the second year of his contract.
  5. Of course we spend. Maybe not on transfer fees but on signing on fees and wages.
  6. The main priority has to be to bring in at least one decent forward and preferably two.
  7. That and the fact that it is a great looking kit.
  8. Okay, prepared now to settle for not losing to England!
  9. From our sell on clause we maybe in line for £25, 2 bags of chips and a voucher for B&Q.
  10. Over two decades to wait to witness Scotland in a major tournament once again but just over forty minutes for that all too familiar feeling to re-emerge.
  11. I agree, the Storey who initially arrived with his magic hat was a very different proposition to the Storey who has pitched up at various clubs ever since.
  12. It is great news that the player survived and is now recovering in hospital. However, that outcome was very far from certain at the time and I have to say that I was appalled by the disgustingly voyarastic approach taken by whoever was directing the TV coverage. Once it became apparent just how serious the situation was there should have been no close up or zoomed in shots at the efforts to perform CPR, his distressed colleagues and teammates and, most particularly, his clearly and understandably distraught partner.
  13. Not losing against England and getting out of the group stage would represent success for me and would leave me highly contented.
  14. I was initially in a bit of a panic when I read that Hughes had joined our coaching staff !
  15. Because the Mods are content for it to be there
  16. Welcome back to the Highlands Josh. Brora have signed an excellent defender who can perform a useful spot of goalkeeping when required!
  17. We will just have to agree to differ on the impact of introducing a little additional capacity for a short period of time.
  18. The suggestion is only to utilise the West side on a very temporary basis to get a few more fans in while restrictions remain. That won't alter the status of the ground in any way.
  19. What a 'venomous" post. If we can recruit a locally based Premiershop quality player to our promotion campaign for next season I am sure that the vast majority of fans would welcome the post and get fully behind him.
  20. If both are prepared to sign within our wage structure they would each be very positive additions to the squad and our target of automatic promotion. If they have indeed had offers from us that shows a welcome and encouraging level of ambition.
  21. The first game back was against Dunfermline and, although there was a very decent crowd, it was nowhere close to being 'filled' He is not talking about spending money on permanently increasing the capacity but merely temporarily utilising the West side of the ground to get a few more in on a short term basis during these times of restricted numbers. In my view, a very sensible suggestion.
  22. The arrangement with The Blades had about as much substance as BJ's 'oven ready' Brexit deal.
  23. Maybe someone should remind the CEO that we don't have and have never had tiers in Scotland. More fundamentally if Hampden can operate in the next few days in Level 2 at 25% capacity, I would be very disappointed if the guidance doesn't allow us at least that proportion of fans if we are in Level 1 or below at the beginning of next season.
  24. Very good signing. If he can stay free of injury he would be an asset to any club at Championship level. Hopefully, the first of a series of positive announcements between now and the end of the month.
  25. The new head coach was confirmed less than a week ago. No need to panic just yet.
