Jack Baird to Morton what the actual f**k?!

Just what we need, tbh. Fair, but Kirk has more than enough credit from his first spell with us to overrule most of that shite. I certainly expect that it won't be on display if/when he's back with the Buds. I'm not saying transgressions should always be forgiven, btw. But I'd file him in a similar cabinet to Paul McGowan. Had lots of issues but still very highly thought of round Paisley way. Gowser got a good reception at the end of the game at Dundee last season.

Fucking hell: they're really doubling down this season. Their defeat to Hamilton in the playoff is going to be fucking hilarious.

Broadfoot still bust an absolute gut for us, even after signing for the original Rangers. Would he expect to be first pick? Is he even good enough to be first pick any more? I really have no clue.

Yeah. An injury or suspension to either fullback would be bad news.

The faux concession that your own side is shite in order to devalue someone else's victory over you is one of my least favourite Pie and Bovril tropes. I agree with the rest of your post, though: we are better than last season but still likely to be in the bottom third, if not the bottom quarter, because the league is stronger at the wrong end this season IMO.

I think it's relatively safe here, I hope. They're an insular bunch. I don't think they'd like the idea of taking a roasting from opposition fans. That's the impression I get, anyway.

I think he just hasn't provided your (and others') interpretations of continuity. I think what GLS meant was, having someone who would be working ahead, scouting players, identifying targets two or three windows in advance, and making sure that we suffer less when managers leave. A number of factors interrupted our progress in the summer: our precarious league position and Kearney leaving being top of the list. It stands to reason that, no matter what, transfer activity will be stunted by those. Since then, we've done some very promising transfer business, a lot of it on two year contracts. So from that perspective, he has succeeded. I'll bet we had a damn sight more continuity in terms of transfer activity Vs when Ross left, too, and it's clearly left us in a better position compared to this time last year. Yes, you're right: if you're looking at a tiny portion of our long term plans, and refusing to look at other factors or subsequent successes, and refusing to compare our situation to last year, then Gus failed. But by any rational measure, and bearing in mind his job is far from over, then he's doing very well. Edit for TL;Dr - just because we didn't sign players early in a single summer window, doesn't mean continuity hasn't been provided

What name does Morias have on the back of his shirt? I know some guys go for their first name - wondered if he did that? Unless it's Popescu, and our manager needs more gear with his initials on...

My mate finishes his job at the shirt printers this month, but he's going out with a bang. Apparently we've just ordered a load of: GIJOPS Bear in mind the last prediction matched Andreu almost perfectly - two weeks before he was announced. Speculate away.

Can't see it myself. Surely we wouldn't be a "new challenge"...

100% this. Anyone still complaining at this point will never be happy so might as well give up.

The window hasn't closed yet.

The Twitter responses to the Sevco announcement on this is good for a laugh. If you find a series of comments by literally the worst, thickest, most entitled people in society funny.

He isn't. We've ruined that by discovering him.

That will do for me, tbf. Look at all these players we've already got signed up for the league cup group stage next season

"Woah, tonnes of new posts on the St Johnstone thread, they must have signed May finally..."

I still have a good feeling about Mihai coming back, and I will keep saying it until the transfer window has closed. And then I'll start saying that he's coming in January.

Feel free to pop into our thread to see what signing a striker looks like.

Why has the director of football failed? That's what I want to know.

He looks fast. We are really going to be hitting teams hard on the counter this season. Issue for me will be when we get visited by our relegation rivals - will be interesting to see how we get on when we have more possession.

Nobody is ITK any more Only thing missing is a Youtube highlights compilation... he looks like a 5'6" brick shithouse, if such a thing exists. Built like a tiny tank.

Not even he has that much time on his hands.

You'd imagine they'd prefer to send him to St Johnstone or Killie, rather than strengthen a top-six rival.
