    Announcing the singing section trial for an area in the south stand after almost all the tickets have been sold for the stand is an interesting move. 

    There were a couple of fans groups posting on Twitter last week this is where they planned to relocate for this game so not sure why it's taken club so long to mention it.

    Nope. These are mostly people playing for their next contract regardless, and they know that packing it in will be seen by potential future clubs. A player who turned it off because they found they weren’t getting an offer next year would be condemning themselves to a smaller contract the next year, because everything is based upon put up or shut up.

    In professional sports, the phrase “contract year” is quite commonly used to explain higher performances from players reaching the end of a multiyear deal. Scottish football runs like this for over 80% of its players, if not more.

    Just so I'm clear. You condone and agree player(s) finding out, via an open laptop as someone has alluded to, that they are not in the managers plans next season is a good way to go about things midway through a title challenge?

    Ok sandy I’m calm, you on the other hand🤷🏻‍♂️, I was showing a bit of support to @mrraith71 as a few were doubting his claim. I have heard the same story as him and as he says we will know on Friday night, have a good day 👍🏻

    We won't really know. If Millen is on the bench or not in the squad it could be for a number of reasons - injury perhaps. If he's benched it's no different to the tinkering of the squad Murray has done throughout the season. Doesn't immediately equate to a falling out. Millen was pretty much undroppable if he was available as we had no one to replace him with. Brown now gives Millen a bit of competition to keep his place.

    Connor O'Riordan and Ryan Nolan are two that jump out being in the 'genuinely no idea who they are category '. O'Riordan was a hit. Nolan was pretty middling without being truly awful. 

    Was racking my brains on players I'd never heard of prior to signing and completely forgot about those two 🤦‍♂️

    Murray does seem to strike me as a manager who will only sign players he's either heard of, managed before, or managed against.

    That's probably not strictly a Murray trend though. We've been stung before signing players no one had heard of - John Frederiksen and Timmy Abraham to name a couple albeit the latter wasn't a Murray signing.

    Well done you, no point letting folk who have been rewarded by the club have a wee perk. How dare they look to repay folk who have chucked in a few quid. It's much better you choose when to break the news to the widest audience than the club.

    Quick question. Does anyone remember us playing Airdrie at broadwood in the 90s in the cup? I am sure Kirkwood scored a screamer? Can’t seem to find anything about it anywhere. 

    Was that the game Peter Hetherston scored for them who promptly started getting it right up the Rovers fans? That's only game I mind against Airdrie at Broadwood, sure we were behind the goals as well for a change and Hetherston's goal was down our end.
