Satan

I can't stand these optimists. Mid table finish. Lots of moaning thrown in to the bargain. Might lose the odd game or five, somebody might get injured, but really he will have fallen out with the tea lady who picks the team every second week.Grind out some results here and there , promising mid season surge, stutter then fade out at the end. Bit more moaning. Roll up. Roll up, here we go again!!

...and Ethan Cairns to Forres. As much as I'd like to have some of these guys available, particularly Cairns as he would give us something different up top, they will surely continue to develop more by playing every week rather than bench warming or ballboy gigs.

Getting?!

At both ends we were poor in front of goal. Disorganised in defence and wasteful in attack.

The early bird does in fact get the worm.

Feedback so far from the young 'uns is that is going to sell fast. Any old firm connotations are irrelevant, they seem to like the colour and design (apparently it is a good combo), unlike the silvertops and fuddy duddies.

Described as orange and red, but the red doesn't show up well in the photos. Perhaps better in the flesh as there might be a better contrast.

Looks like Brooks is about to hurl.

Staunch.

Pity that there is some outdoor entertainment planned for Glasgow this weekend, might be some youthful types attending that instead. Hope the weather holds.

Just glad it has been resolved and both parties satisfied. A few less rumours to worry about.

Does it matter? He's signed, we can continue to rebuild & begin our preseason.

Our worst league finish in however many years is irrelevant as a couple points more and we were in the play offs with exactly the same 'brand' of hit or miss hoofball. The 20 year stat is a better headline grabber though. Can't really say the eye-watering losses are entirely down to mismanagement, sure things could have been done better, or some not at all, but trying to compete at this level with dwindling attendances plays a fundamental part in the overall situation. And the attendances were dropping before we were. Paying and praying? Maybe I'll just wring my hands & pray for a miracle, seems to be the trend.

Are we forgetting that the chair and ceo are only there at the behest of the board and shareholders...apart from some throwaway 'insider rumours' which rarely resemble accurate depiction of events, it seems those with real power & influence are content with the status quo.

If everyone was to adopt this attitude, then what you would be 'supporting from afar' would be even less of a team than they are currently, with cash flow drying up completely and debt burden increasing. Is this the path you wish to see us on? Just wondering like.

What injury crisis? Got an insider with juicy info...?

Really? Any chance of getting normal sizes back in stock if this is the case. Not everyone wears sizes beginning with XX ... Considerable loss of revenue with regards to the restocking not happening.

It's also an indication of where we are currently - some of our best just ain't as desirable as they used to be.

Aye, all the top clubs were queueing up for him, he can join Malkys Malcontents though- if his ambition is to get a fair wedge and play for a misogynistic racist then he'll be fulfilling that. Not having seen much of them but their end of season exploits indicate they need more than players of Allardices calibre. Certainly a test for the boys fitness.

All good faith to the guy is gone. No ambition

One sugar daddy would be of enormous benefit for sure, but we mustn't forgot those other financial backers who have been servicing our ridiculous debt year on year. Let's hope they continue along with us.

Thought Boyd had a decent run during the worst of our injury spree. Very keen on shots from outside the box, but not often on target. Career wise he's not known for his goals.

Everyone is in the mire financially, some deeper than others.

True fans.

If he goes it will be to one of our championship competitors. Despite all the talk of how we had a title challenging team at the start of the season it speaks volumes that many of our out of contract players could easily be retained - I don't think any have generated serious interest from a higher level. A few will have seen what happened to MacAleer , Chalmers and pundit in training Scott Allan after successful spells with us. Grass is greener... On a positive note it may be worth tying up some of our younger players on 3 year deals as next year will be a definitive year for them and we don't want to be losing them for buttons.
