Buddist Monk

2 midfielders in on Monday, that's what Ross has said in a BBC interview.

Not sure if Flynn is going to sign or not, or (if he does) whether he'll be any good, but those highlights are absolutely rank. No idea where Falkirk and QoS were in 2010 (presumably in the 1st) but I've seen better play from the Sunday leagues.

Very true, and there is room for more as well. We've been lucky we haven't had significant injuries in the midfield as players like Hilson, Stewart, Kirkpatrick, Todd and several others just haven't stepped up - for various reasons. It's going to be interesting to see just what sort of level Ross is going to bring in. Most of it will need to be cover, but hopefully pushing for starting places quality. I wonder if United's injury crisis which forced Lazlo's hand in the transfer market might be encouraging us to push hard in this window too.

A lot of that you would have expected, but still for all Ross was saying about this not being as busy as his last transfer window, that is quite a lot of movement.

All depends on who is/are his suitor(s). I presume we're offering/offered him an extension, but I wouldn't really blame him for choosing the PCA. All that matters is that he keeps his form, if he does we'll be looking at a title and an improved budget, if he doesn't and he fades then we wouldn't have wanted him to sign that extension anyway. The lad has been in sparkling form, and considering he can be a bit marmite depending on the club (great for us, terrible for Dunfermline) you'd think he'd take up the option of an extension (again, presuming we have).

Not surprising considering the amount of game time he was looking it. Sure, he could have waited for an injury (and with MacKenzie and Davis both have suffered that), but I'm guessing Ross will be looking maybe brining in a loan player for that role. The boy McCart we had on loan from Celtic wasn't bad. Not first choice but certainly decent enough cover (imo) and you would imagine that sort of deal would cost less than Buchanan. If there's an option to sell, and the player is keen, then I'd say we might as well go for it. Edit: Would this have any connection to the Mullen transfer? Has payment for him already been made or do we think Buchanan feeds into that?

At the very least you'll be getting as player that has been training regularly with a full time team, so I suppose his fitness should be there. As with most, I think I've seen a few minutes of him on the park. I do remember him from his Falkirk days, but that was some time ago.

Would not be surprised to see Buchanan go. He seemed decent enough when he was with Dumbarton, then was terrible for us for the first 5 or 6 games, then improved for the next 5 or 6, then got worse again and was replaced by Davis. I thought that he might be given a run in defensive midfield - it's a position we could do with cover while Buchanan seems capable of the role - but Ross has decided against that. So, in summary, he's been pretty pants overall, he's not flexible enough to play in other areas, and I think we all agree that in terms of quality he's probably not Premiership level so if we get promoted he'll need replacing anyway. Now this might sound harsh on the lad, as there is definitely a decent enough player there, just not the level or flexibility we need (for now at least). Can't see Irvine going, he's been a good servant and can't see him wanting to go if this is a championship winning season - even if it meant him sitting on the bench for most of it. Not surprised if Duffy goes, especially as Reilly is scoring for fun and we now have Mullen. Sutton is the other striker I'd like to see go, which is a shame as he's done put in a great shift for saints over the years, but his recent cameo appearances just showed he isn't able to fulfil the role required.

Sorry I would have provided you a link, but it's The Sun and to be honest there is absolutely no reason to give them click throughs or extra ad revenue. They are a hate ridden "publication" that are only considered to be moderate because of the metal fucknuggets at the likes of the Mail or Express. Anyway, as for your point, I agree. I do prefer a dignified silence. Allow me to regale everyone with scripture... "Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding." Then again this is the time of the short news cycle, social media and (of course) "fake news". So what Magennis actually said and how The Sun spin it are likely to be two different things. That said, and as you've eluded to in other posts, if Lazlo can't use a 6-1 humping by a team in the relegation battle then it doesn't sound like a few 'off the cuff' remarks are likely to engender the ire of United players.

This: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=583429740 And this: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=766190099 Are essential mods if you want to genuinely do a decent job with roads. One is the traffic manager that allows you a lot more control over the flow of the vehicles, the other is called Move It that allows pixel precision movement of objects (inc roads). When your city gets busy that can be a God send as vanilla controls can really hamper things. As for creating new junctions to existing motorways, my tip is to save the game, delete the motorway you wish to connect to and build in the junction from scratch rather than trying to repurpose the initial motorway layout. The reason to save it is that you'll f**k it up, lots of times, and big road junctions like that can cost a lot of money. There are templates for junctions which is fine, but I tend to find they are a bit dull and never quite match what I need. Plus you'll learn far more about how the traffic flows if you create the junctions yourself. One thing I'd say about amending the vanilla motorways is to do this only after you have unlocked the highway roads as you will need both the main highway and a highway slip road to get the best out of any large junction. As for the type of junction, this might help...

If that's in reference to Morgan, he was out of contract in the summer and wasn't signing a new one. £300k, plus him back for the same amount of time he would have been with us anyway doesn't seem such a bad deal. I'd like more, but that's just the way it is.

Good shout, sign him up. He's currently on a goal a game ratio with Alloa..

In terms of early recruitment, we brought in Mullen before the window opened, Morgan is staying so really it's just cover that I'd imagine Ross is looking at now. If the cameo appearances by Sutton in the last couple of matches show anything, it's that Sutton is very ineffective in a cameo role and we need cover up front. If the Celtic kid is coming then that's central midfield covered... what else is there to add to the squad?

It would certainly not come as any surprise that Sheils was abused. Considering the state of permarage our fans can demonstrate I'd be more surprised if he didn't. I am not sure if I am being unfair here, but I don't see it in the same light as racism or sectarianism. Essentially it is beneficial to have two working eyes for football so it's not something unconnected to the game that people are taking the piss; ie: skin colour or religion. I suppose in this day and age of cultural inclusivism (not something I disagree with, btw) I suppose it's bad show. Our fanbase has pros and cons. I honestly can't be fucked screaming at the officials, the opposition, the opposition fans and even our own players. I used to, but then I used to take quite the libation before games. So in that sense I'm glad someone else is doing that as it does have it's benefits in games. That said, and as several others have mentioned, when it comes to the edges of acceptability these supporters become a liability to the club not an asset. None of this should detract from what an utter bellend the father is, the epitome of the proverb that empty vessels make the most noise.

Kenny Shiels is an utter wallopper, and you don't need any eyes to know that.

Yeah, it's looking like that, which is a good thing.

I still think LB cover if Smith is to be recalled, and a decent wide midfielder to allow Magennis to play in the centre, are the two additions I'd be making. Hill seems like cover for McGinn/McShane, and that makes sense, but I'd still like to see Magennis being given a run there. All in all, it's a long way from Jack's last winter transfer market.

From what I know, Hearts can recall him during the window but not after, so if he stays with us from Feb he'll be here until the end of the season. That could, of course, be utter mince but that's what I've been led to believe. He's playing well, and considering Hearts are pretty much at bare bones and the overhead of a new stadium to pay for (even aside the anonymous donations from the mentally ill) you would imagine Levein getting the most out of a limited squad. He might not be a regular starter at Hearts but from his performances I'd say he should have no problems getting a game for them. I think Smith himself has said that he wouldn't want to go back unless they could guarantee games, but then I'd imagine the player doesn't have much leeway in decisions like this.

If anything I would have thought a RB in case (L) Smith gets called back or a wide right midfielder as it's clear McGennis is far happier playing in the centre. Still, in Jack we trust.

So... talking of the Morgan/Celtic thing, and assuming it's going to go through with him loaned back until the end of the season, I'd love if he got the chance to train at Celtic during his time with us. I don't want to affect the togetherness of the team, but you'd imagine the sports scientists and physiotherapy lads at Celtic will be some of the best available to them. The one small negative I'd give about Morgan is his physical size. He's not really ready physically for the Celtic first team, although I feel technically he's more than capable of being a sub. It would be excellent to get him loaned back but also have all the Celtic money thrown at him to improve and bring him up to their standards. No idea if this is how it works, or if when he's loaned back he has no connection with Celtic until he rejoins them.

It's a good game, there are a shit ton of workshop mods as well as lots of maps, but... ...there is also absolutely no challenge involved. It's a casual city builder. Probably the most impressive thing about the game is that it was developed in Unity.

I see Ross Stewart scored the only goal in the game for Alloa against Stranraer. Now to be fair he's got experience playing them this season as we had a diddy cup game down there at the start of the season, but good to see him hit the ground running.

Didn't a fair bit get repaid using the money from Mallan's and McAlister's transfers?

Forgive me if I have gotten confused by the tedium that is OF affairs, but doesn't today's ruling simply state that King has to make an offer - not that the offer has to be taken up?
