McNiff had his chance in the first part of last season and didn't take it. He is not good enough for this level we would be much better trying to develop Coleman who has been getting rave reviews from the Kilbirnie fans.

Lets not forget that Joe Colemans loan at Kilbirnie expires on Sunday. Could McLaughlin be cover with Coleman being given a chance?,he seems to have done very well out on loan and it would be nice to see a youth get a chance in the top team.

I agree with the Moonsters sentiment here however i will reserve my judgement until the first 10 minutes of his début. Jordan Kirkpatrick was released by Hamilton and Aggy by Ayr United so i will give him a fair chance. I'm not expecting much so he can only impress me...

Excellent,heard a lot of good things about him. Have you got a centre half we could borrow?ETA: Wee article on Kane http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/st-johnstone/257654-fourteen-for-14-meet-st-johnstones-goal-grabbing-teenager-chris-kane/

You've seen him in 4 games going by your earlier post of having attended every game since Raith bar Berwick and Alloa (Morton,Livi,QOS and Raith).Shug has experienced a loss of form since his come back from injury,as the Moonster says he played in 4 of our 5 victories so far. I'm confident with game time he'll return to form. Without him our midfield is too soft,especially with CT much stronger in an attacking role. Nish is dreadful I'll agree with you there though,honestly as bad a finisher as I've ever seen,up there with Tommy Coyne. Its not just that though,hes 6"5 yet never wins anything in the air and his positional play is dreadful. Prunty and Fleming should be starting upfront next week. I honestly Dont understand how he managed to score so many goals in the SPL (10th top scorer I think!) I'll leave with a quote from the THHP 'Top 25 Superstars of the lower leagues' " It would be wrong to simply label him as a mere enforcer – Turner’s aptitude at going forward is equally as strong and the addition of Hugh Murray to the Sons’ defensive roster this year has been a fine move. When fit, Murray allows Turner the freedom to move upfield, and his tally of four goals has already bettered last term’s." Nish,K.Smith and Phinn will hopefully be away in January, can't see it mind you.

Take him now if you want,treat it as an early Christmas present!

Pretty shocked that Finnie didn't get more of a chance at Hamilton he was only 16 when we signed him and he didn't look out of place at all,an excellent player. I'd definitely take him back especially with our lack of defenders. Smith is like a young Stevie Murray in stature now (although considerably taller) so if one of them picks up an injury we're screwed. I don't know how they do it but Hamilton seem to produce some excellent players (McArthur,McCarthy,Finnie,Kirkpatrick,Ziggy Gordon). Shame we very rarely see a youth player become a first team regular,although Coleman and McKerracher could well break through soon.

Think he's contracted to the end of the season with them but if he continues to bang in the goals he could be a decent signing. He's a PE teacher aswell so it would be unlikely he'd want to go full time.

I wouldn't take big Jimmy back,he was superb last season but I doubt he could do it again this year. I wouldn't be averse to bringing McShane back, he's certainly a better option than Nish/Smith and has plenty of experience at this level,he's still relatively young too.

In other news Paul Nugent played and scored for the Vale on Saturday. Good to see him back in football.

If he doesn't extend his loan in January another centre back is desperately needed. Who else have we got that can play there? Scott Smith?(a central defensive paring of him and the chase is too slow imo) Recall Joe Coleman?,(he's really very young to be playing in the Championship). I would imagine that will be the area where we see the most transfer activity in January. We really need more than 2 centre backs for the typical Sat/Wed/Sat nature of Feb/March.

http://www.youthfootballscotland.co.uk/component/k2/item/7933-edusport-express-keeps-rolling-on Match report from a game against the Edusport academy (5 Nov). Interesting team especially the Trialist (Finlay?) and Noble who both seemed to play well.

When I first read it I thought it said "Xmas cancelled" I was pretty devastated tbh.

Women that I knew had huge eyes and always wore her hair pulled really far back. She was known behind her back by everybody as Gollum.

Kenny Shiels will get it imo..........or i could just be trying to convince myself.

Seconded! That is without a doubt the best nickname I've ever heard!

My Granda worked with a guy called Avalanche because when ever you asked him to do something he said he'd love to but he was snowed under.

Just got thinking today about nicknames,what's the best nickname you've heard. My brothers PE teacher Mr Mcaveety (No idea if that's how you spell it but its how its pronounced) was spotted at the Avicii concert in Glasgow. He is now universally referred to as Mr McAvicii. My favourite is 'One size' which is of course Fitz Halls nickname. What other classic nicknames to the P&B community know? Meant to add I had a history teacher called Miss Barr,she taught us about pre war Germany and by the end of the term was referred to by almost everyone in the class as Kaiser Barrhelm,instead of Wilhelm. Quite liked that one!

Nah m8 we R no that #desperate yet.

Aye it was,that was in March. Surely they would've done something about it before now......I suppose it is the SFA. I just checked Andy's photos from this seasons game on Facebook and in the second half Mr Muzz is on the bench towards the end of the second half,so it definitely wasn't this season. Don't know why they wouldn't act before now.

Bagsy sitting next to him In all seriousness though this couldn't get much worse,both midfielders and now the manager out. Strange I don't remember him getting sent to the stand in the Accies game either.

Stephen Hughes has signed for East Fife tonight. Any other decent midfielders available? A quick look at the PFA website says naw. Loanee from Hibs might be the only option.

In the paper that Aggy has a suspected hernia and will be out for 6-8 weeks. Bad news that couldn't have came at a worse time with Shugs injury aswell.

Aye I'm a bit concerned aswell,this mysterious housing company,selling the car park not the ground,the board not saying anything,concerning times. I would be up for a move but as long as it benefits and doesn't hamper us financially. There better be standing room in a new ground aswell!
