The press are describing it as a little known technicality (if he had played for a Scottish U21 side it would not have counted towards the 2 senior club limit), but yes it was a waste of everyone’s time having him here if the hope was that he could be part of the squad this season. It might turn out though that next season he is the best striker we can afford.

Ah OK. He can’t sign for a senior club this season because he has already played for 2 senior clubs this season - Forfar and a 10 minute sub appearance for Newcastle U21s who are classed as a senior club under English FA rules.

Cameron Ferguson has signed for Forres, who thanked ICT for making this possible - not exactly sure what we did other than have him on trial for a few weeks.

No, income has dropped. Prize money and gate receipts massively down since the Premiership days. Certain running costs have increased with energy being one of them, and Big Dunc won’t be cheap, but look at the current squad and compare it with the one we had even in our relegation season. We are certainly not spending more than we did in the Premiership.

That doesn’t sound right.

Owain Tudur Jones was there commentating for Welsh TV and also appeared at half time on Alba. I suppose it is best that Airdrie won, it would be a bit odd that a tournament that is Scottish with a bit of Welsh and Irish, got won by an English side!

Probably having to fork out £1,000 - £2,000 per day keep us afloat, and then get derision and abuse for doing so. Form an orderly queue…

Ridgers certainly had a better game than the Utd keeper whose error gifted us a goal.

I think most keepers would’ve been caught by that, a tremendous strike that would rarely be attempted let alone hit the target.

Striker stats: Mckay - 1 open play goal (+ 1 pen from 2) in last 12 matches Samuel - no goals in last 7 appearances Brooks - 1 goal in 17 league appearances (most as sub) Pepple - no goals in his 9 appearances (most as sub) We really need one of the above to go on a scoring run. Someone, anyone!

I suppose we can say we are a point further away from automatic relegation. But a relegation playoff is looking increasingly likely.

Mains gas though? And don’t get me started on cars and lorries, mobile bombs laden with explosive fuel! And then we have chemical factories, oil refineries, nuclear power plants and so on, which all obtained planning permission. Risk is everywhere you look.

I wonder what break clauses there might be in his 3 year contract? Without the battery farm, I’m not sure how we will be able to pay his wages (which I’m assuming are fairly high) regardless of which league we are in, and we might also struggle to fund the pay-off if he doesn’t stay.

You do realise that, whatever you think of his abilities, getting rid of our Chairman any time soon would equate to switching off our life support machine?!

Ta, that explains why I couldn’t find his name associated with it. In the interests of balance, this company does events relating to numerous clubs, eg recently did something with Charlie Mulgrew, and their forthcoming evening with Paddy McCourt certainly isn't going to attract many Rangers fans.

Is he involved in ‘The Longest Forty Production Co’ that seems to have organised this event? A quick it of googling suggests it is run by a John Brown, who is not Bomber Brown, as far as I can see.

Butcher had also been at Rangers the other night. Somehow I don’t think his tour of former clubs will include an invite from Hibs.

Are you suggesting that SG has control over the decisions made by the police? Or that the police lift people because of the opinions they express regarding the competence of football club officials?

1-2 FT. That is a terrible result. Our home form is abysmal and I seem to say it regularly but i feel so sorry for our home fans having to endure so much p1sh.

What?! 😮

Can this week get any worse?!

A few comments on your thoughts there. 1. They 100% did go through the proper process. 2. Pre-application consultation is optional. Had they done it it would have just delayed the application process, which in turn would have reduced the financial gain due to the terms of the deal the club struck with their partners. The sum has already dropped due to the delays. 3. The pre-application advice would simply have told them what everyone already knew, that the site is on green space and therefore the application could not be supported by the planning department. That’s something that is incapable of being changed. 4. I fail to see what could have been done that would have stopped Councillor Oldham being against the application and seeking to overturn the initial consent. 5. In terms of ‘recklessness’, filling out a few planning forms and paying a few fees in the hope of getting £3.4m is not reckless. It is valid to criticise years and years of spending in excess of our income which got into this financial black hole, but not to criticise a pretty low risk project that could get us out of it!

For goodness sake don’t tell Charles!🤣

Some of that criticism is somewhat unfair and overlooks the fact that the club went through the proper process got it through planning permission, they did it. Nobody could have predicted the highly irregular manoeuvre that happened next.

He’ll fit right in then, get him signed!
