Teams that get into the Europa Conference League get £3.3 million. That's worth aiming for.

Home games have been great, Away games mostly awful besides at Hearts and Celtic in the Cup. At Home we are in opposition faces from kickoff. Away we sit back at kickoff and let the opposition dictate the first half, although a half time rocket often improves things. Why do we sit back at kickoff in Away games? SR says that is not the tactic so why do players do it? And we need a goalscorer.

Main has been excellent this season in many ways but for me he still doesn't score enough - 6 League goals. Van Veen at Motherwell has scored 13 League goals and is also a handful up top. If we were pushing a boat out then I would go for him. I believe he still has another year on his contract and unfortunately Well no longer look like relegation material so probably only wishful thinking. But we need a goal scorer.

What goes against Strain is Australia don't play wingbacks but play a back four. But Strain is also an excellent defender and would give them another option. Pity as the guy deserves his chance.

Don't suppose there is anything in the news about Celtic fans trashing the North Stand or the singing of sectarian songs?

Section A now open for Away support. This seems to happen a lot to us. Away club allocates a small area and we have to ask for it to be increased. You would think Clubs have a good idea of a typical Away support for each team in the League.

Saturday was a bit of a surprise considering the shocking performance at Motherwell a few days before; half the squad injured and a bench of untried teenagers. However we blew RC away and should have won that by considerably more goals. Injury list is still horrendous and getting worse with Dec and Tanser taken off on Sat but one or two others may come back into contention. on the bench if not starting. Hard game but surely we have to start winning Away sometime?

Naw, they prefer the Premiership.

Naw, had a bag of popcorn in the cupboard and thought I'd find a Comedy to watch.

Gallagher has been out injured last couple of weeks. Had to be on the bench as Joe Shaughnesy is also injured. But a half fit Declan still strolled it. And a wee reflection for Dons fans. We were down to 10 men after 8 mins only a few weeks ago Away to Killie. We never gave them a look-in and should have won it but got a draw. Whereas Aberdeen conceded 3 and it could easily have been 5. Yea your performance was an improvement than Darvel but still pretty rank defending.

In Aug Aberdeen beat St Mirren 4-1 when Gallagher was sent off after 20 mins. The sending off was hardly mentioned on Sportscene as all they did was heap praise on Aberdeen's new signings and how brilliant they were. Fast forward 5 months and same venue but this time an Aberdeen player (not a central defender) is sent off early in the game. But Sportscene focuses on the sending off and hardly mentions that St Mirren ripped them apart. Could easily have been a 1-5 scoreline. A wee bit of praise for St Mirren would have been nice (and justified). But then you'd have to kick Michael Stewart off the show,

The tears and snotters on this are delicious.

You're welcome.

No failures tonight and some excellent performances. Special mention to Baccus playing an unfamiliar role and bossing it. The few days off has certainly helped him get back to his best.

Clubs can now broadcast up to 5 Home games on PPV per season. Been like that since Sept.

St Mirren have recalled three loans. Back are Lewis Jamieson from Airdrie; Kieren Offord from Alloa and Aiden Gilmartin from Cowdenbeath. Very happy with the transfer window where the squad is now stronger and we have received a load of dosh with sell-on clauses. Not sure why Reid to Palace hasn't been announced as everything seemed to have been agreed yesterday morning.

For me we finished this window stronger than what we started and have loads of dosh as well. A welcome change.

Naw, Lafferty has never played for 'Well. You guys would be better coming to Paisley on a Saturday to watch your old team.

Got to say I am impressed with Small. Youngest every player to play in an Everton first team at 16. Left to join Southampton to increase his chances of first team football with Everton rejecting a £1.5m compensation fee. Made a start with Southampton in a Cup game last season. Plays for England U18s. The boy looks top drawer. Looking forward to seeing him play. Edit to Add: Apparently Southampton had to pay £5m for Small! (from Football Insider).

Utd fan stating we have paid a £75k loan fee for Watt and are paying all his wages which seem to be about the same as we are paying Brophy. Surely not?

Watt is a striker. Lowry is a midfielder. Reckon Robinson wants cover for both positions.

Maybe, but we shipped Brophy out to save money on his wages. Considering we are still paying a chunk of his salary and for a crocked Ayunga and was too late to sign Connor Shields on loan from 'Well, our first choice replacement (he went to Queens Park), I doubt we are pushing the boat out for Watt. But who knows.

As far as I am aware there has only been one tweet about Baccus and that was to Wigan. However I have just read a tweet about Wigan wanting and making offers for 3 Hibs players which include 2 midfielders (Campbell and Henderson). I think Baccus will still be with us tomorrow. Gogic is a better player than Erhahon and the midfield is far more dynamic and attacking when he starts so not bothered about Erhahon going. But we do need another striker if Ayunga is out. Preferably one that can score goals.

The worst team I have seen this season is Killie. They played 88mins against us when we had 10 men (ref gave 6 mins extra time) and they were terrible. Square balls all over the park with absolutely no threat. Think Carson had one save to make. Their subs made their team worse if anything. 'Well will be ok.

Excellent. Good cause. I thought they were promoting North Lanarkshire Roads Department.
