Its okay; he's joining as a management consultant.

I have to agree; chalk and cheese from the guy how fell over a lot last season and got sent off for a moment of silliness. The level of effort he puts in and the way he was winning everything in the air; surely the boy must get his goal soon?

Interesting that Martindale said he could only afford to bring in one player at the moment unless Someone moves on. As someone already mentioned both Teto or Lawal were in the stand on Saturday. Bahamboula and, perhaps more surprisingly, so was Bitsindou who was there to hand out his signed shirt from last season to the sponsor. No sign of Goncalves though.

I vaguely recall something about Premier Sports throwing their toys out of the Pram a couple of years back when the final was St Johnstone v Livi; no OF in sight.

Actually old firm games are very rarely covered live at home (the exception being the rangers v celtic derby). One of the reasons being ground capacity and presumably significantly less people are likely to pay to see a game live than somewhere where the OF are likely to only get 5000 tickets. On that basis the Killie Celtic game must be the banker - but its Viaplay so it could just as easily be St Mirren v Motherwell.

Yep

Actually that makes sense; although I couldn't remember the opponents I do recall I was watching it from the south end of the West Stand rather than my usual seat which would imply it was a cup game.

Guthrie scored in his first game for us but cant remember who that was against. as I recall the ball virtually bounced off him and into the goal. I remember Montano scoring against Dundee United in our first league game last season away at Tannadice.

Strange Bahamboula isn't even featuring in the squad

You sure it wasn't £1.79 million? Lost faith with Transfermarkt ever since they listed Stephane Omeonga as 5' 10"

The internet have Lawal as 1.71m (5'6") tall. That cant be right; he certainly looked taller than that. Mind you I think Transfermarket had Toto as exactly the same height.

Kind of tongue-in-cheek comment by me I'm afraid. All relating to the fact that Jason gave away two penalties during the second half of last season for handball - actually I think both were missed by the referee but picked up by VAR but I might be wrong there.

Hopefully Holt wasnt involved?

Believe the format was 4-3-3 Malley Hastings; Sproule; MacKenzie; Colette Miller Heath; Cullen; Kelly Wilson; Black; Sena

The only reason I started coming along to the game quarter of a century ago was the free tickets to schools. Basically the kids persuaded/bullied me into taking them. On a completely different subject one of my sons' got his away top yesterday - he got an XL but its really no more than a medium and there's virtually no give in the shirt. Be warned and order a size or two bigger than you expect.

Going on loan can be pretty hit or miss. Really worked for Nouble but not for Hamilton, Kabai or Swarke (sp). Others like Panty-whats-his-name (the one that accused the club of being toxic) should probably have gone out on loan straight away. Goncalves or Bitsindou didn't really benefit from their loan either although I do get the feeling that Davie had already made up his mind about them and the writing was on the wall before they went out on loan..

Pretty sure we were already in debt so its probably worse than that unless we've got a cash injection from somewhere. At the end of the day its all relative. Had we finished in the top half it would have taken care of at least half of that. Likewise a successful campaign this year and we should be able to make a dent in that; really though we do need to start encouraging more people to come to the games; the old guard are getting fewer in number and new blood is definitely needed. With all the new builds going on in Livingston East and West Calder; the potential is definitely there.

Of course the fact that they put the "M" and "N" in bold might be a bit of clue? Marco Negri must be getting on a bit now?

We've had worse. Thought someone said he was working in a factory now though?

I assume he's contracted until at least the end of the season so there'd be no saving unless he was able to find another club that matched his requirements

Cant see it; he's just been released by AS after they got relegated and,as you say, CB is not a position we need to address (even in the reserves/B team)

is this correct? First I've heard of it.

At the end of the day it could be pink with royal blue pinstripes and we'd still sell out in L; XL and XXL before Christmas. Not that I'm suggesting that as an alternative.

Looks okay but the badge amongst the detailing does make it look a bit cluttered.
