Butcher has said "it is impossible to be confident" of retaining Rooney.

Nice to end the season on such a good run. Can't do any harm for season ticket sales, and for attracting players who want to join at team heading in the right direction.

Chick Young says he's signing for St Mirren.

Why is it being played today, before the season ends and on the same day as normal league games? Takes away a bit of the sense of occasion if you ask me.

We are clearly releasing a higher calibre of player than them. But is that good or bad?

The one who was at Dundee last season?

And more importantly, "work permit"?

That's a cracking wee tour lined up, and having it all arranged well in advance is a big improvement on last year when we seemed to be scrabbling round for opponenents in the north-west.

Yes, a lot of people might be surprised that our most successful season ever (so far!) came under the management of Craig Brewster until January then Charlie Christie for the remainder.

Who was officially credited with our first goal? Having seen the highlights it looks like Rooney to me, Foran's (excellent) header looked like it was just trundling along the line, hadn't crossed it and wasn't going to. Hard to tell though.

No doubt that talks have been taking place and it's a very obvious sort of move that wouldn't surprise anyone. They would definitley help to improve your pitiful, relegation dodging team. What are the prospects of Calderwood staying to help you survive another season in Division 1? At the weekend he said that he had set out his demands and the board were going to come back to him.

One positive bit of news amongst this disgraceful saga is that 2 Ayrshire men have been taken into custody this morning regarding the parcel bombs. But that guy last night, what an absolute ****ing moron, his actions could lead to consequences that spoil things for all proper fans.

Indeed. If he leaves this summer with that record intact he'll be the subject of an obvious ICT trivia question in years to come.

3 home wins in a row. When did that last happen? I'd like to think that Fortress Longman is being rebuilt.

Just saw this on BBC. Terry on Rooney Hard to tell whether Terry is optimistic or pessimistic about keeping him. It is, however, almost unheard of for a player to turn down the chance of earning, 2-4 times their current salary.

In this modern age of telecommunications etc, that shouldn't take long, should it? With some players, that explanation would simply be a stalling tactic and a euphamism for "I can't give you an answer yet because my agent is frantically trying to get other offers onto the table for me". Not that I would blame him for doing that if that was the case. He seems a pretty straight guy whose top priority might be football rather than money so I haven't given up hope that he stays. In fact, perhaps the situation is that he has got better offers financially, and has one of those heart v head dilemmas. I thought we were fortunate to keep hold of him last summer, and again in January, so anything else is a real bonus.

Just out of interest, why do people think Seniors should automatically get a concession at all? Blatant age discrimination which is not justified by any means testing. When I consider all the people I know, the over 60s/65s are, on the whole, better placed financially than younger adults - mortgage paid off, kids left home etc. Recent changes in legislation also mean that more and more of that age group will continue working past the traditional retirement age. I know this sort of blanket seniors concession is common across all clubs and in other areas of life, but that doesn't necessarily make it right, and I wonder if it is a well intended gesture that is becoming outdated and unsustainable.

Is he the best keeper we have ever had? I would say so.

Completely deserved, he's been phenomenomenomal and is perhaps the only player to have maintained an excellent level of performance throughout the season.

Like it! So what does that make Partick Thistle?

Thread on P&B mentions that it is closed. Chambers closed I might be wrong but I think TSNY emailed Hamilton FC about ticket prices, rather than emailing the pub about beer prices

If true, that's a pity. They really looked after us for Brewster's leaving do in January 2009.

Wonder if he'll be consulting Terry about the club before accepting any offer? He only lasted 6 months there.

"Please Mr Butcher, give me another chance to win a contract. You didn't see my best in that trial because I was played out of position by that halfwit of a manager. It was really hard to play as an attacking left midfielder, in the hole, whilst also tracking back to right back. Especially as I'm a ****ing goalkeeper!"
