Wonderful effort from Sturgeon to completely avoid answering Ross's question. Utterly pathetic as per usual.

I'd love to see the full timeline of how they've handled football crowds throughout this pandemic.

Sub team of 4 come up with probably the worst logo in Apprentice history. The one guy on that team who pointed out how shit it was gets fired.
He came across as a bit of a prat but didn't deserve to go.
Fully agree. Happens every series though - somebody has a shit idea and somebody else complains about it. The complainer gets sacked for not just getting on and backing the decision.
That mens team logo was an absolute joke and there was nothing interesting about the rest of their work.
Girls team at least stuck to what they know. In fairness they could have called it Titanic and had a logo of an iceberg and they'd still have beaten the men.

Nephew of John Barrowman.
I saw him in the bounce game last week. He is a tidy enough player. First half he was a bit cautious and safe in his passes but second half he was doing driving runs with the ball and trying different things. I actually quite like the look of him. Should link up well with Liam.

Has there been any word on the restrictions and if they are likely to be binned or extended?
Just to be reviewed next week as planned.

Cowdenbeath, AKA the emergency loan champions of Scottish football had ample time to get a GK in, going by their previous attempts it takes a day for them to achieve this.
so why after knowing on Thursday are we having this conversation on NYD that they might not be able to fulfil fixture and then wait until 10.30am on the day of the game to officially call it off.
It's a disgrace isn't it. Imagine a part time club being ravaged by covid during a pandemic not managing to sort a loan.

The club are unlikely to release the names of trialists heard we lost 2-1.
There was a trialist centre half, attacking midfielder and striker. The striker went off injured after 5 mins. Looks pacey.
Attacking midfielder looked decent and I'd hope we sign him. Defender didn't get involved much.
Overall it was a typical bounce match played at a slow pace. Referee was useless and denied us 2 blatant penalties. Even the Dundee bench were laughing at one of them
lost to a last gap goal after McGurn played a hospital pass in the box.

My brother in law got one of those Krups beer machines for the house. A couple weeks ago discussing Christmas presents I suggested we order a couple of bottles for him. I'm told by my wife and her sister that it's not a good idea.
Last night. My wife turns to me and says:
"is there anywhere online that would deliver the beer bottles for Will?"
"it's not on Amazon so no chance it arrives before Christmas - that's why I said to order months ago""well why didn't you order?"

Last Friday night we were driving to a hotel in Edinburgh from Dunfermline. She is useless at driving in a big city and just stresses so I volunteer to drive. I've driven to the airport and the gyle before but our hotel is at the Grassmarket.
"Do you know where you're going?" she asked.
"No - after the Forth bridge go and load up the map".
Of course we end up going the wrong way and spending an extra 25 minutes driving. Turns out that on Google Maps she doesn't understand what the lane indicators mean.
If you're not sure what I'm on about:
She didn't understand that the lane in white was the lane I needed to be in so we missed our first junction.
This was of course my fault as I said I knew where I was going....

Nice to have a weekend where we didn't lose

Who are other clubs in this division picking from that squad to improve their team? I'd take maybe Gill, Renton and Swann as squad competition (not starters) but outwith that you're going nowhere near the rest. The majority would not be playing league football if they were not at Cowdenbeath.
I think you're being a bit harsh there on some of our players. Our issue is our midfield which has far too many similar players in the centre and then no attacking threat on the wings. I'd say Craig Thomson would get a game for most teams, Craig Barr as well. Liam Buchanan was banging in goals in the League Cup and early league matches. Gavin Morrison is key for us and would get a game elsewhere easily.
The problem we have is that we have continued to resign players who do nothing for the majority of the season. Kyle Miller has been here a decade but I can't remember the last time he really got involved with a match. Robbie Buchanan everybody here knows my feelings about. Stunned to read somebody on here say he could play at a higher level - he's awful.
Bollan did a great job of attracting decent players to the club but it was never to actually improve on the weak parts of the team. Craig Thomson signs when we have Mullen. Hutton signs when we have Morrison. Clarke signs when we have Swann. The glaring lack of attention on the attacking side of midfield is going to cost us greatly.
We are also missing Renton big style and he might not be back anytime soon.

There's an Open Goal interview he did with Si Ferry here:
Just listened to this. A lot of chat about Rangers obviously but the last 5 minutes or so he speaks about his managerial philosophy and what he thinks he can bring to a club. A lot of work will be done on having the players in the right spot on the pitch. Ensuring they are disciplined and as much as he'd like to play passing football he knows if you only have players for hoof ball then he'll work on a tactic to make that work.
Obviously he could be chatting pish there but it gives me hope that he's not a complete idiot

I really hope Ross can have a positive influence on Harvey Swann. He's the most promising attacking player we have so hopefully he instills some confidence in him.

I have to admit I'm impressed with this appointment. In the past we've hired young managers like Liam Fox and Colin Nish who had 0 managerial experience and it was a disaster. In Ross here we have somebody who has been there, done it and is looking for that opportunity to continue to develop. I like the video above and he comes across quite well in it.
Least he's got a nice easy first match to get started

That 2nd booking for Robbie yesterday is possibly the worst refereeing decision I've ever seen.

Lost 2-1 to Rangers B last night in a bounce match. Haven't seen the team sheet for us.
