    Managed to make contact with an IBV fan who told me a fair bit about Ryder:

    He began as a youth coach at IBV and worked his way up to a first team coach alongside David James and Hermann Hreidarsson. He managed to make the move to Knattspyrnufelagid Prottur, becoming the youngest manager in Iceland's history. In his first season he took Prottur to promotion with one of the smallest budgets in the league then finishing above the relegation spots in the following season. The season afterwards he guided them to a third place finish to be promoted again. He also had a stint as a development coach at Newcastle

    He left Prottur two weeks ago, resigning so no compensation would be due.

    One of his biggest attributes is working to a budget and utilising youth players. His ability to work alongside youth players to further career seemed to be one of his strongest attributes.

    He would be very unlikely to want to bring any staff alongside him, instead favouring to work with a new clubs current infrastructure.

    His teams work in a direct and very organised manner favouring a high tempo game.

    Sounds very promising

    It's either a replacement for Josh or one for Halkett - I know what one I would prefer. Either that or it's for genuine depth which would be nice. 

    Bare in mind that Gregor Buchanan is out of contract as well. We had up till Saunders, 2 signed CBs

    I'd like us to sign Buchanan up again....unlucky to be in a team with Lithgow, Halkett and Gallagher where his first team opportunities were limited.

  3. Bisping was a c**t. Just an absolutely massive c**t. Good fighter though, but I'm glad we won't ever have to put up with his shite again.
    He'll surely be continuing his broadcasting appearances


  4. There’s no doubt our chances in the play-offs would have been greatly diminished had he not turned up. Case in point being his performance away to United and his cameo at home to Partick. As you say though, he was angling for a move so I can’t say I’m heartbroken like I’d be if Byrne or Halkett were to have moved.
    Might struggle to get motivated at Ross county with the lack of televised games ????[emoji23]????
  5. So can I. He apparently owns shares in Morton too - here's hoping the fans backing yesterday shows him where his home is. I think he wants to see through the project with us at least and go from then. He could do a lot better than Morton at very least

    The way he spoke on alba at half time of the united game he likes being at Livi and sees us as a great platform to move onto a bigger team...I don't see Morton as a huge step up from us tbh... especially if we go up. Think he's got his sights on England...he seems a pretty ambitious guy

     

  6. I've been thinking about our lack of options up front going into these play offs games, Miller and Hardie have been superb and we've benefitted from having a settled front pair, but say we needed to throw everything at it for a goal to take it to extra time, all we have as other options to go on as a striker are Cadden, Frizzell and Robinson, who are all midfielders. Jack Hamilton has scored 8 goals in 16 appearances for Berwick Rangers, I know it is 2 divisions down but the lad is full of confidence and def knows how to score goals, might be worth having him on the bench just in case we needed to throw on a third striker in a last ditch effort to salvage our play offs.  Wouldn't hurt to have a back up plan.
    The only other option I can think of would be Mackin, but he's not scored a goal for Brechin and confidence is a big thing for strikers.

    I'm really excited about seeing Hamilton play for livi but it's a huge step...mackin has shown he knows where the net is and has scored a few important goals for us already...we have goals throughout the team though so I wouldn't say we have a lack of options.

    You missed de Vita too

    With Ladd missing weight, Smith chooses not to fight, with it being Smith's last fight on her contract the UFC pay her show money and choose not to re-sign her.

    Got to think she would have expected that...maybe of the "get paid, get out" mindset?
