Obviously got to India, didn't fancy it and made up some bullshit excuse to come back. Olympiacos sounds close enough to Hamilton Accies I s'pose. Think there might have been some issues behind the scenes as it doesn't seem as if there was any attempt to keep him by Thistle unlike Frans and Miller, which I assumed at the time was because he was wanting too much money or wanted to go back to England but maybe just a fallout. I'd have kept him but if you'd said swap him for Gordon I'd have said aye so I'll take that.

When I heard we had players on trial, this wasn’t quite what I had in mind. Did Magee not get the jail when he was down in Preston?

indeed, sod celebrating any celtic goal tbh. tho the £100k (I think) if they don't utterly f**k the second leg might mean we can sign 2 players instead of 1 before the end of the window. I know other Prem teams get that money as well but I trust Archie to spend it more than most unless it's on a CF.

Only saw the last couple of games of JMDP - Nadal but there were a fair amount of folk shouting as Delpo was readying to serve, guess there's a Brazil vs Argentina thing going on though there are obviously are a fairly large and vocal Argie support in the crowd too.

Now seen 2 separate folk say Dumbuya is out for the season as well, is that just worst case scenario or has that been confirmed somewhere? I thought he was due back in the new year. The last I read about Fraser was after that open day it was said he will probably need keyhole surgery on his knee as well and he's been missing for 4 months now. Armand 2's shout of Marvin Andrews as club knee specialist might not be too far off. Have we been unlucky with injuries or is this an average amount and you just don't notice other clubs problems? At the tail end of both our first season up and last season we were pretty much a shadow squad by the end of the season, plus the amout of guys we had that went in for operations over the summer... Centre half should still be the priority, though if Osman gets fucked now...

Was always sceptical we'd see him this side of Christmas but that's a blow, especially with Dumbuya out til at least new year. This is Div Wilson's year anyway. In the sun today that we're playing a bounce game this afternoon (no idea vs who) and Grandison will play so he's still around.

Missed an opportunity for a Mandron there. Last night probably put to bed the idea of Gordon playing CB in anything other than an emergency (which tbf last night was). Guess Lindsay will be back for Pittodrie but I'm confident we'll sign another CB before the window is closed #backatoni

Kevin Nisbet gone to Ayr til January, can still play for the u20s. Thought he would have gone to a league one club to get a bit more game time but hopefully he can get a few games for Ayr. Aiden Nesbitt should be good in that league as well, he needs to bulk up a bit though. I'd probably have taken him back at Firhill for another season but similar logic applies in that he'll get more games at Morton than us.

Season 3 of this is immense, the first half of season 1 is pretty average but it takes off from there. There are so many background jokes and references you need to watch it about 3 times to get everything. It's very funny but extremely dark at times, very few of the episodes finish on a happy note.

Pakistan 10 and 11 putting up a decent fight, 16 overs to go. England seamers trying to bounce them out rather than hit the stumps.

Get him signed.

*rows into racially choppy waters* I can see 5 black guys in that picture Assuming Dumbuya is still laid up that only leaves Osman, Amoo, Pogba, and Azeez (unless I've miseed someone else) so makes sense the other guy is a trialist. *sinks*

Any nice bits of info from the Q&A or was it all just questions such as "why don't the players wear black boots?"

Yeah, Hemmings was on trial after we were promoted in 2013 and he'd just been released from Ibrox after being on loan at Cowden, played (at least) for us in a friendly at Livi. Didn't stand out and went to Cowden again permanently then scored against us in the LC for Cowden just after that. We'd already signed Baird by that point, I think if anything the 3rd striker was Mukendi (FFS).

Sair yin for Federer, even with his age defying that's surely his last shot at Olympic gold humped.

Not much in it for me, pretty much as above. Booth has been on a fairly steady upward curve since he signed which is encouraging. Mind when we had Jake Carroll or a coked-up Jordan McMillan or Stuart Bannigan at LB for half a season (in Bannigan's case half an hour at this level)? lol. Same question for RB then, Dumbuya or SOD? If Muzzy didn't miss so many games he'd be streets ahead but in addition to that SOD chipped in with more goals and assists and had superior hair.

ATS has been away for two seasons, played one game for Wigan, got stuck in the reserves, got injured, got relegated to league 1, moved to Doncaster, hated by fans, got relegated to league 2, got another bad injury. Not my definition of a roaring success. SOD seemed to spend a fair bit of time injured last season as well. It has only been one season but the guy who unquestionably has had success since leaving is Scott Fox...

Think England might be toast here unless root or bairstow get cracking. Watched bits of this today, the spell Finn bowled after tea where he had 2 catches put down and countless other near things was a great watch, poor guy was losing the rag massively.

Half a million notes according to the BBC? Good player but jeepers if true.

England debuting the Jakeball. Amir should just overstep on his first ball for the lols.

Maybe Scully is fit and we don't need.... actually you're right, get Arthur in there.

In Archie's video interview after the Morton game he said that Syme at RB was a bit of a square peg in a round hole, so while he's obviously young enough to learn a new role I think Gordon will be our first choice RB until Dumbuya is fit and then might move into the centre or move Dumbuya forward. Also said that Lindsay and Edwards would be back in training today.

He definitely did play CB that day, and that's cover for left back sorted as well. Surprised he didn't just go back to Accies, seems a full on Balatoni situation. I doubt he'll be here longer than the year but it's a very good signing. I still want one more out and out centre half, though.

Checked in on WAT suggested players to be signed : Dan Seaborne Conrad Balatoni Kenny Arthur some place.

Since the forum upgrade you can go back and search all posts by a user as far back as allowed, think you could only previously go back a year. Spent a few minutes flicking through my oldest posts, I've not got any better as time has gone on. My oldest remaining post is from 2004 where I'm complaining about a song seeming like it was out recently but being 5 years old at that point. Although it did remind me of a forgotten about dalliance with a girl in NZ in 2008 who sent me a love letter saying "I hope I was God's blessing to you" and signed with "servant of the lord Jesus Christ".
