Should've gone for rooftop with a poolside bar. Missed opportunity given the location on the Scottish Riviera.

One step up from a notepad in handwriting only one person can read, I guess!

It seems like they're either using a bad CRM, don't know how to work their CRM or don't have a CRM (which would be madness).

On the other hand, this undermines the sales pitch to potential new players that the club will showcase them and won't stand in their way if a move up the ladder is on the table.

Agreed. Arguably they might see Musonda as an option at the position as well.

Won't need fullbacks when Bullen unleashes his 3-3-4.

Week 1 - Elgin

I imagine they'll anticipate the Saudi league becoming much more visible than it has been up until now. Which I expect it will, pretty sure even the Chinese league was televised here when they were throwing money around to a lesser degree than the Saudis have been.

Bit concerned that Celtic are going to use this Jota money to make a play for Dipo.

This is premature. It may appear right now that there's no coherent strategy and they're lurching from one failed backup plan to another, but it only takes one or two good signings to turn the whole thing around.

Horace, Hurst, Castilla, Teale and Djaffo.

Best memory is the 2-0 win over Kilmarnock in February 1998.

Jack Ruddy stands out as a bad player in a decent team. Most of the rest were only marginally worse than their teammates.

It's cool, if they wait a couple of weeks to make signings they can use the "he never got a full preseason in" excuse until September.

Hodson wasn't even getting a start for Partick at the end of last season, was he?

Two of the last three away from home isn't ideal, but we all play the same games in the end.

If the fixtures are out today that will keep everyone distracted for a while.

Nobody is making baseless accusations in this case. The facts were laid out in court and are a matter of public record. It's the complete opposite of what you're complaining about. He had his fair trial and was found on the balance of probabilities to have committed the actions he was accused of.

It really is baffling to even try and consider the mindset that makes someone call a guy like Goodwillie, having seen the evidence that was presented in the civil case that clearly showed him to be a disgusting rapist (not to mention all his previous criminal violence), a 'top man'. Do they really think because he wasn't raping anyone in the changing rooms when they played with him that it changes who he is or what he did? Can't get my head around it.

If Gillingham are 'cash rich' then I imagine Ayr will also be looking for all or most of the fee to be paid up front.

They did say that surveys revealed unforeseen issues, so maybe there are stability problems that necessitate a piece by piece approach.

If there's any possibility Ayr are being used by McKay to get better terms from Inverness then the offer should have a firm deadline attached to it and be publicly withdrawn if it passes.

"6. Almost signed Billy McKay"

This feels like one of those 'make up a plausible rumour for social media clout' situations.
