Bluegrass Bairn

Brain Hamilton. How could I forg... Oh.

Can we make a team of ex-Jambos yet? Got a defence off the top of my head; MacDonald, Brian Whittaker, Sandy Burrell, Darren Barr, Neil Berry; and Scott Crabbe & Donald Ford up front... who else?

Brilliant... So, in summary, he's - very tall. Injury prone. Not a passer, nor a blocker. Not a goal scorer... Hmmm. Not sold on the notion that that particular skill set will "do alright" for us.

And so a grand total of 4 days left this window for PH to invest (an unspecified amount) in the team. Wonder who's still available at the arse end of the summer sales that'll "make the team better than the players already here". No probs with Houstie's aspirations there, but the BoD haven't really given him much of a chance have they? So why sell him at this point? If Norwich - or anyone else - were that keen on McGrandles they could have come back in January, by which time at least there could have been a decent strategy in place for targeting replacements. Particularly on the back of increased season ticket sales and the stated aim of aiming for the playoffs. To drop the club's knickers to the first gentleman caller isn't much of business plan, it just smacks of desperation. Not suggesting for a minute that McGrandles is worth the sort of money Ryan Gauld went for, but it would be pretty interesting for our Board to understand how DU marketed an 18-year-old kid. (Who could also have got injured, or lost form, or faced any of the same risks that McGrandles would have faced had he stayed longer).

and... 'have you met our BoD?'

ah well. Be really interesting to see how - and how quickly - he progresses next. His development over the last couple of seasons since he first appeared has been great to watch. Best of luck, lad. And best of luck to Houstie trying to get 2 or 3 decent new guys signed in what's left of the window.

with almost no exceptions over that last - what, maybe 30 years? - our BoD have consistently sold the club short over getting real value from our player sales. Sadly the norm has amounted to them spraying their y-fronts over the first offer that comes in rather than playing hard-to-get, and certainly not sorting out sensible add-on clauses. I wouldn't hold out much hope they'll get the club the right deal for Conor either.

each to their own G, but just a wee bit like her da' in drag. With moobs... Nah, better make it Millie time!

fail...

test for sig.

Careful! Big can of worms opening up right there..

Have been finding it really difficult to think of a Falkirk captain I've got less faith in than McCracken. Anything more mobile than a glacier against him and he's in trouble. If he's actually on the park at the time, rather than on the sick. (so go on big guy, have a blinder tomorrow night)
