Coventry Saint

I'd heard it was Thistle that had Nahmani.

Don't care if this comes off or not, I've been desperate for silly season to start and now it's finally here I'm so happy

Ok, that makes more sense

Article linking us with interest in Conor McMenamin. Don't know much about him, but he's 27 and according to Soccerbase has an absolutely outrageous goalscoring record. Assuming that's true, of course. https://m.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sunday-life/sport/glentorans-conor-mcmenamin-relishing-role-with-northern-ireland-and-reiterates-call-for-move/a668377629.html

This guy needs sorting out.

I actually agree. Imagine fans of a football club taking pleasure from their players appearing on the biggest stage in football, and that coinciding with their best season in ~35 years. Fucking idiots.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at. Not saying Blackpool aren't capable of signing basically any of our players: more that I hope Baccus will be aiming higher. Also because we'd be more likely to get a higher fee.

Seen stuff on Twitter suggesting Blackpool are very keen on Baccus. I'm fairly sure he could do better than League One and I'd be amazed if a top half Championship club wasn't sniffing about.

If he was in charge then he'd look after everyone's season tickets and folk would only get in the ground if he was in a good mood on a Saturday morning.

Indeed: we've not had this sort of security since Tom Hendrie signed a five-year deal...

Shame it hasn't occurred to them to try the things that would actually work: getting promoted and being a half-decent football team.

I was.

Who made this application and were all parties aware?

His brother Hoki is a pler

Reported by the Record but it's one of those stupid articles where you have to scroll for miles to find the bit they've actually tweeted about. This is the only relevant text and they've managed to spell the word 'Record' wrong so I'm not believing it.

Scottish football's second tier needs a strong Dundee derby, IMHO.

I actually do wish we had a 20-goal striker. Only then could we aspire to doing what Motherwell did this season.

Shrews fans were largely disappointed to lose Main to us, weren't they? Would be interesting to gather comparisons if Street goes ahead.

I had it but he blocked me and changed it. Keep forgetting he played for you guys. I'm a big fan and think he has a lot to contribute to us. Doesn't get as many starts as perhaps he might in a different formation. I really don't think we'd be difficult to deal with and I feel "selling" to you is our best bet of getting him off the wage bill. Zero chance we'd want a fee for him, I'd imagine.

Excellent game and a great way to round the season off. Congratulations to County; now please buy Brophy. Gutted for Thistle though. It's the hope that kills you and you must have felt you were home dry. Absolutely devastating turn of events. Still, two teams at the end of long season served up a thoroughly enjoyable game. No consolation to Thistle, I'm sure, but they can be crazy proud of how they performed. Just looked very leggy towards the end there.

It was a Thistle fan that started the now-legendary Relegation Express thread for us. f**k em. (But no, I did want them to beat County and the Fat Racist. Quite disappointed there.)

Small was good but is young and very raw. If Robinson really rated Tanser there's no way Small would have started as many games as he did. "Peak-age experienced wing-back Vs card-prone rookie" shouldn't even be a contest.

Aye, felt good at the time when we were outbidding Aberdeen and Hibs. The fact he was even injured on that initial loan spell probably should have been the warning sign. He was doing a job for County when he first arrived, but the guy just has the worst luck. I don't hold it against him at all, tbh, but his career with us peaked in the first couple minutes of the 21-22 league campaign at Dens and has rarely hit the heights since then. A loan to the top end of the Championship where we still have to pay part of his wage seems like the best, most realistic option I reckon.

That's fucking bold talk given what happened to you lot last time you were in a playoff. But also: I agree. Life is weird without a football-related knot in your stomach.

He still does so many parts of the game very well, and is exactly what you need against the sides that prefer a bit of hammer throwing. Livi, and probably us, tbf. Obvs his pace isn't great, so you'd need someone fast alongside him. But he's got those long throws, is good at both ends for corners, and is handsome. He also scores highly on that 'good pro to have in the dressing room' and we've already got Ryan Flynn signed up next season to fill that role.
