    Davie McGurn is their 3rd choice at best though.

    OFW always looked decent enough against us and while I appreciate its a relatively small pool, he didnt get to go to Euro 16 with the Welsh for no reason. I havent seen enough of him but the criticism from ICT fans always surprised me a little. I'm sure he will be fine. This division has possibly the 2nd best keeper in the country in it and Jamie MacDonald is still a top keeper too. Mark Ridgers and Neil Parry have been excellent the last 2 or 3 yrs. Being there or thereabouts next best with Gaston is no disgrace. Better than Hamilton for sure. Ayr and Morton dont have a keeper yet. We have last year's no 2 in Leighfield. Remains to be seen if he is getting a run at it or we bring in someone else. 

    I hadn’t actually noticed they’d signed MacDonald tbh. Good keeper.

    Craig Gordon *was* a great keeper but his best days are long behind him. Should be more than good enough for this dross league ofc.

    But is he in any way competent? Half the teams don't have a GK as of yet but I'd imagine he wouldn't make the top 5 once all teams have a starting keeper IMO. Might be wrong of course, just that seems to be the perception and he's never looked decent when I've watched him on TV.

    I think he played half a dozen games for us so can’t imagine even Pars fans are qualified enough to comment.

    He’s not complete shite and is excited to be involved so that’s a positive start. Hopefully he helps the younger keepers in his new role as GK coach as well.

    I’d certainly take him over the wee team continuing with the reanimated husk once known as Dave McGurn.

    Coronavirus and the Scottish Championship

    Sky would have paid the same money if Celtic and Rangers just played each other every weekend tbf. Very clearly all they care about.

    As for Jason Leitch, he very clearly has enjoyed the attention during this whole thing and if often going into business for himself with his statements. Since the Scottish Gov have said most things are subject to change at any time, I’ve no idea why anyone would be thinking they’d get guarantees over dates.

    Five subs in Scottish football

    in Scottish Premiership General Chatter

    Posted

    I read an argument that clubs would lose money due to additional appearance fees; you do realise you don’t *have* to use five subs?

    I’m not a fan of five subs at all but the crying about it is way OTT. I’d even argue changing half your team is just as likely to make things worse than improve the situation, with lack of fluency etc.
