  1. I'll be fair; not sure if Verheydt would have strengthened your squad.

    He is prolific in the Netherlands because of his physique making up for his general lack of finesse and technique in a league where play is anything but physical. He would have a much tougher time in Scotland because his physical style of play isn't an asset as much as it is expected, revealing his faults in other areas.

    This is exactly why he got exposed at Crawley and why I imagine he'd fail to impress at St Mirren. And I haven't even gotten into the fact the team he plays in needs to play a possession-based game in order for him to excel.

    So yeah, you might've been done dirty by the agent, but this is probably the best outcome for both St Mirren and Verheydt.

  2. Mind, the shirt is shown on the club's online shop via a banner, but clicking it just links you back to the home page; it isn't listed elsewhere and most certainly isn't up for pre-order.

    All signs pointing to this being a very complicated but entirely deliberate wind-up - one which is very succesful I might add, because Paddy Power have already gotten a fair bit of exposure from this.

  3. El Makrini is a decent player, should be able to handle the Scottish game despite it being much more physical than the Dutch league. Was playing below his level last year because Roda JC had a stinker of a season and interest in him was low. Don't know Killie's current midfield all that well but I reckon he should be a useful signing.

  4. Kelty to go up (unless they are very unlucky with which L2 team they meet) - I don't see Brora or Buckie or whomever best them.

    Berwick to finish outside the top 3 (Kelty, EK, and at least one other team will pip us).

    That Frankfurt kit is a topper.

    Wolves kit would be terrific if it weren’t for the sponsor - a familiar story.

    I heard you say something about a sponsor ruining perfectly good shirts? Lille's new home shirt has a nice big B across its main feature - New Balance and the club must know it looks shite, because they've done their best to pose the players in such a way that it's covered up;

  6. The needless asymmetry on the Man City away top irks me, the detailing makes it look like a gender reveal baby party in a construction site. Do wonder if the purple will persist on the home shirt or whether it's a one season thing.

    Anyway, Man. Bet. X.

    Getafe, who narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification in Spain last season (blue = home);

    Can we just not ban Joma?  Or bomb them?  Those are far from the worst - hello Partick home - but even still.  Cheap monstrosities right across the board.

    No, señor; this Spanish shithousery is here to stay and they may well be outfitting your club de fútbol next! In the meantime, Motagua FC from Honduras;
