Fact? Please tell us more.

At present I think we have a weaker team than last season, whilst the league we are in has stronger teams than last season, so we still need to strengthen if we are going to make the playoffs this season. I dream that we can boost our transfer and wage budget thanks to a Saudi club coming in with a £10m bid for Austin Samuels. The money being thrown around over there is madness!

On the bright side, we can concentrate on the league now.

On the same day we are signing a squad player, Ayr have signed a game changer and match winner in Aiden McGeady.

They haven’t gone bust or anything like that, just withdrawing from Scotland and various other countries in (hopefully) an orderly fashion. This might involve honouring existing contracts or, more likely, trying to sell their rights on to another broadcaster.

That’s a really poor result, even if we are still in pre-season mode. Thanks Robert for the updates tonight - I was following from a theme park in Italy. What’s that phrase, a rollercoaster season?!

When it comes to shooting, let’s hope our players are rather more accurate at hitting the target than stormtroopers are!

Didn’t they recently sign Graham Dorrans too? Someone’s got a lot of cash to spare.

Imagine if Lafferty had been modelling it!

I guess I’m the only person nerdy enough to notice this, but the name of the Nairn player Angus Dey is weirdly similar to Agnus Dei, a biblical nickname of Jesus Christ.

Good to see the strikers to be getting on the scoresheet.

The pics of him yesterday do seem to match ones on Harry Lodovica, and even the black headband matches. Aveley FC had a home friendly v Dagenham and Redbridge yesterday so I hoped to confirm he wasn’t in their squad but they didn’t publish team lines anywhere online as far as I can see. A club with worse communication and social media than us?!

A sign of how far we have fallen is that we now go for players who don’t even have a Wikipedia page! 😀

The winner was Sibbick for Hearts v Hibs. Nice enough finish but a pretty standard standard breakaway goal really.

Adam Brooks signing has been announced.

Hopefully this raises a good few thousand pounds for the roof.

Yes that’s a really smart kit, good to have stripes back.

Was it ever even on?! No idea. Might he have been plan B if Billy didn’t sign, or could we really have afforded 2 very expensive strikers?

Whilst googling for anything on Lafferty I stumbled across some pics of his rather attractive wife - she was wearing a football top but appeared to have carelessly forgotten to put the shorts on. If she dresses like that at our stadium the poor girl will likely catch a chill.

Bowler hat, orange sash.. (sorry couldn’t resist, you teed it up so well!)

I’d be pretty sure that they do look, even if they don’t admit it.

Was carrying injuries while there, it seems. I hope we’d be very thorough in assessing the fitness of a player like that - a trial period would make sense.

I’d hope and expect that there will be some trialists training with the squad in the next couple of weeks, as usually happens at this stage of the season.

Incredibly he didn’t even get a yellow for it!

Nice story here about when the late Craig Brown phoned Wilson in 2001 to invite him into the Scotland squad and having a good conversation, before it became apparent that he’d phoned the wrong Barry. 😀 https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/10902366/barry-wilson-nicholson-scotland-squad-craig-brown-phone-mixup/
