Think that’s being harsh on east fife. They came to ours and were 1-0 up at HT and should’ve been more. Their play deserved more than what they got yesterday. That alone is far more than Dumbarton have done in their 2 games v us so far.
Guess the table doesn’t lie though. They’re humped

Why are east fife where they are? Better than quite a few of the jobber teams below us never mind cut adrift at the bottom material

Where has this almost weekly myth that Mutch has been “frozen out” this season come from btw? He’s been reported injured, seen at almost every game for the last month or 2 with a sling/cast thing on and is only just regaining any fitness.

Best interview yet from Rennie imo. With funds available it would be simple to sign a bunch of duffers like previous managers. He’s going down the harder route. If the right players don’t come then he won’t be wasting the cash. I’m certain he knows we need at least a CB before the end of the window

Personally, I do worry that the majority of the Scottish public have been so beaten and are so meekly submissive, that there actually is a push back from getting back to normal. You see it in lots of anecdotal areas where shops, education and many businesses never did let up on social distancing, obsessive mask wearing and forcing hand sanitiser the second anyone looks in their direction.
I frankly fear this type of forum is the occasionally mocked “ echo chamber” of sanity and for years we’ll be seeing folk walking around in goggles, hoods, masks and gloves whilst shopping in case a stranger coughs and they catch a cold.
Boozy Cow in Edinburgh a prime example of this. Went in October and what once was an ok place in the middle of town to have a pint has been turned into a Covid hellhole. Signs about vax and masks everywhere, no getting to your seat without doing test and trace, table service only etc etc. Thoroughly miserable experience for the half hour I was there. Places like that, luckily, will be left in the gutter whilst everywhere else gets back to normal

I have been told that the signings we make will make the fans go wow and not in a bad way,but no names were given.
This was from the same guy that told me Rennie was getting the managers job a day before he was announced.
You filthy filthy animal

Liam Craig, Paul Watson and any sort of GK upgrade would go a fair way to plugging out main issues. I expect to get none of them

Don’t disagree. But there are at least two rather more pressing issues in our defence that should be our priority.
if a keeper precedes that then we have lost clarity of our issues….That’s not how the January transfer window works. Come on now. If better is available get him

None of them were getting a regular game for their club at that level accept probably Alston and it's still a strange one that he never worked out with us as he's a regular in the Killie team pushing for promotion these days. They were getting binned as they weren't playing. At least Craig is playing regularly and has proven himself at top level for decent successful clubs.
Killie fans are certainly not particularly impressed with Alston, slow as ever and not physical enough. Similar problems as his year with us.

Leadership and game management have been 2 (more) things we've been utterly bereft of for about 3 years. It might not be Craig but whoever the new CM/CB is needs to have those abilities in spades

He's one of the kids who are part of our "ultras", and I can't remember him ever having a single scoop before tbh.
It'll undoubtedly come true but we're currently down to about 3 fit CMs, in a relegation battle, and he's no record of being ITK so I'd file it under "shite" just now.

Don’t think Rennie’s the type of man or manager to actually be upset at ref decisions. Think it was a calculated decision to talk about refs. What impact that has or whether it’s a good decision or not, who knows

Campbell, mcglynn, and McCall have all managed through excellent contacts to get good quality players to come and play for them in league one winning them the league and have continued to use these contacts in the championship and it sees them fighting it out at or near the top. We have been completely left behind in the area of recruitment by these 3 wily old managers who probably piss themselves laughing when they hear Holt going on about player profiles and all that pish.
I agree and this is why people saying Rennie and Miller aren’t a gamble are in cloud cuckoo land. Recruitment is EVERYTHING at this level.
However, nothing proven yet. I am actually glad we are taking our time. The best players often only become available very late in the window and in previous Januaries we have had 4 in the door by 2nd of January and it has done absolutely no good.

What I would give for Easton btw. Just a basically perfect player at this level and probs championship too. Like having 2 players for the value of 1

“Expect the unexpected” has never been less applicable than now. Year after year of failure whenever the opposition is remotely up for it. Big game next week in our battle to avoid relegation playoff spot - because that’s what it is - 3 points needed.

Dowds wearing an Arbroath jacket for an interview he’s done yesterday. Silly, silly boy.

Only been an SSC member since July - presume there's no chance I'll be able to buy an extra single ticket for a non SSC member when these go on sale 14 Feb?

I think it’s the 2nd Queens goal, and there’s Hetherington, jogging along, watching it all unraveling in front of him. That moment was when he was done for me.
Letting this pass into feet sums up that miserable performance. Just completely inadequate

Sligo haven't officially announced it. Given the only article about it came from the Irish Sun and spelled his name wrong I doubt its finalised yet. But looking likely it's true.
