Not being in the building trade my knowledge of such things is virtually nil but I don't understand why they are constructing the new stand around the ever decreasing old one. I'd have thought they'd totally demolish the old one, clear the site and then start the new build. Seems a bit of a complicated way of doing things to the untrained eye.

Were many folk taking Scobbies side? I thought most were fairly neutral to it all and realised the media were shit stirring.

It's more a case of knowing what you're getting. Anyone from down south within our wage budget would likely be lower leagues and a gamble along Coulson lines, or foreign and an even bigger gamble!
There is always the chance you take a punt and it works out well as it did with Dunne.
I just feel, as a wide player of a proven quality for us, who would be a realistic signing possibility, that I can't think of too many better options.
But as Radford says, it is possible he's completely outwith our reach in terms of wages.
Sadly though Scottish football is at the level where an English lower league guy could easily be of acceptable standard. Yes Coulson was a shocker but buying internally doesn't guarantee quality, Rory Fallon, or a previously decent player not working out, John Sutton.
I don't think we should re-sign MOH but I couldn't name another option through lack of knowledge on budgets and other players. Don't think that makes the opinion any less valid though.

Pitch perfect at McDiarmid Park. Squinting into the sunshine. Hopefully done Saints transfer news on Stv tonight at six.pic.twitter.com/iP9pZ4nsA
Intriguing.If they've called in STV, I don't see it being a complete huddy...Interesting that it's only hopeful there'll be 'done' news yet he's there. maybe the ex-Rochdale and Port Vale guy is playing hard to get.

I'd take O'Halloran back in a second. Would be a great option for us. Playing under a manager who knows how to get the best out of him would be good for all parties.
For those slating him, love to hear the long list of wide players in this league outwith Celtic/ Aberdeen who would be better options...
Its been quite a while since the transfer market was restricted to only this league Paulo.

That's a fair point about the Scottish Leagues name. I've very rarely heard it called the Ladbrokes Premiership etc. Compare that to the standing joke about the Barclay's Premier League. It all just helps show what an amateur set up it is and that even Ladbrokes can't be too bothered or they'd have the clubs and media briefed to death about the name, the way Barclay's PR team obviously did in England.

I resorted to referring to the leagues as "tiers" some time ago. It just feels like absolute fannydangle to be calling the third tier "League One", and it makes life less confusing when you're referring to previous seasons in League One, which could feasibly anything from the Scottish second tier to the top three leagues in England.
Spot on. It's a nightmare when checking a players history and you don't know which league they actually played in because of all the name changes.

Theres a woman on it claiming we won't be signing Stevie May solely because "the way the chairman's handled things lately"...
Not the the £400k asking price or £5k+pw wage, but the fact Scobbies been released.Preston are selling May and want £400k?

Tam Scobbie has suddenly transformed into some indispensable world-beater amongst the knicker-wetters in our support.
And the media.

When I took this I desperately wanted it to be the dream combination of a football ground with a distillery behind it, but even though there are 4 distilleries in Rothes that isn't one. Forget now what it is. Think the sheds on the right belong to Glen Grant though.
That hill from Gala certainly gets around.

Tbf they're only reporting what Tam has said at his unveiling.
Yes, about a week ago Tam. It was a nothing story then and it's even more of a nothing story now. There's just no need for it especially with other things happening that are actually of interest.

The media again overshadow positive news with a week old, negative story having a go at Steve Brown about a squad player going to the 2nd Division. Tams either got mates in the media or young Brown shagged some journo's wife.

Hopefully it's Tommy showing young Brown what we'll have to resort to if he doesn't give him the funds for a proper left back.

Kicked out of Rochdale and Port Vale within 6 months. Sounds good.

I'm including this because it is almost a template for the media's negativity agenda. Yesterday Saints make a cracking signing in Scougall yet the Daily Ranger make what should be nothing but a good news piece into a negative one by turning it into Tommy Wright having a go at Steve Brown for not keeping a squad player that went to a Championship club 5 or 6 days ago. If the two are related in any way it would be for a back up player having to go to free up wages for a big signing but oh no, its apparently a major fall out that's bigger news than the actual signing itself. Their mindset truly is unreal at times.

I take it Real are actually interested in him. If not it's a bit off shall we say.

Yeah so if he signs the player he wants to for LB everyone will scratch their head as to me to be classed as experienced you need to be experienced to the league you will be playing in. This player won't have ever played in the top league. All a bit bizarre.
Have to disagree with you on this one. Going by your definition Scougall is inexperienced. It's to do with playing senior games as opposed to Under-20's etc no matter the league. You can't class a player with say 250 Championship appearances as inexperienced.

It's just the Daily Ranger, and typical Scottish media, at their best making a negative out of a positive. That article has really pissed me off.

Is there actually any truth in the Graham rumour? I thought it only came from a Hibs twitter account not known for it's reliability.

That makes sense. Still a bit strange seeing the new work grow around it now whilst big parts of the old stand's still there. It's great for seeing the different sizes of stands though!
