Noticed Raith and Falkirk doing pay up options for ST’s, doesn’t seem like finance we used previously, more like set split over 3 payments. Wonder what this is and if it’s something we would be looking at. For me personally, we’ve had a bit of an unexpected car bill this week so doubtful I’ll be paying £300odd for my ST this month.
Frustrating that we were told it’s not easy to access a finance option yet two rivals are doing exactly that. Be handy in the current climate.
It's definitely a good option to have, but I think the Rovers are onto their third or possibly fourth different provider in the relatively short time they've been doing it. Nothing catastrophic has gone wrong, as far as I'm aware, there's just been a bit of a fankle with fees and the customer service aspect of it.
The club certainly seem to think it's worthwhile, but maybe "not easy to access" isn't the most inaccurate way to describe it.

David Norman is a centre half so would be surprised for him to start at LB and Dick at CH.

No.

Trialist centre half, Liam Dick at left back? Other way around?

If he's still injured then Ross needs to go out on loan for 6 months or a season no use to us being this kid with potential.
How much use is he to us if he's somewhere else...?

Keith Watson it is.
I can't believe the boy that does these illustrations is even taking the weather into account.
Pleased with Watson. The obvious qualifier is that injuries could clearly mean he isn't a success, but as long as he's fit he should be a very good player in the Championship. He's not got any pace, but it's not like we're going to go out with a high line and ask our centre halfs to chase any balls that come over the top. It looks increasingly likely that we're essentially going to line up with two blocks of five. A fairly immobile, deep back four with Scott Brown patrolling ahead of them, and an incredibly fluid, dynamic front five that have all the energy and endeavour you could ask for.

I don't think we've really had any kind of rumour for this one, have we? There was significant chatter pre-Mullin and Smith, and a bit of putting two and two together for Dabrowski, but this one seems like a proper mystery.
Exciting!

That's Holt announced. Not convinced by this transfer strategy thus far.
It makes sense to bring in tried and tested Championship performers, but there's definitely a limit. You can't only bring in Championship level players or you just become a Championship player team. Definitely need a higher calibre for the next couple of bodies in for United to be set apart from the rest of the league.

TBF, I don’t think IM and JP are going to be on ladders, painting the stands…
They should be. Is it the home stand or the cover of a novel about a mysterious Count in a Transylvanian castle?

Fixing the typeface on the South Stand signage should be a much bigger priority.

x2.
Unlike Docherty who's an archetypal Championship player, I expected Grimshaw to be picked up by a Premiership team. He's very good in two distinct positions.

On the other hand, they'll have to deal with a load of insufferable Celtic fans packing out the away end.
You act like that's not also the big draw for the home support.

Anyone else underwhelmed with the calibre of the opposition for our pre season friendlies this year?
I see the Pars have German 2nd division opposition for one of their matches. A much sterner test for them than Linlithgow Rose I bet.
I remember back in the early Eighties seeing the likes of John Toshak appearing for Swansea in a pre season friendly. What happened to that thinking?
Their owners are German and arranged that friendly. We're going to Kelty, what more do you want?

We're reaching the stage where I'm going to start making up entirely unsubstantiated rumours just so we've got something to discuss.

Aaron Muirhead, who'd been vaguely linked as a potential solution to our gaps at centre half, has signed an extension at Partick Thistle.

It's surely just a matter of time before the tartan makes a return. Long overdue.

I really like this idea, but only if we insist it's local companies only, make them permanent, force the RaithTV guys to memorise them all, and then forevermore use them as geographical markers that only make sense to the initiated, like cricket fielding positions.
Instead of 'silly mid-off' and 'short fine leg' you've got "Josh Mullin goes haring down the left wing until he gets to the Mercat, where he cuts inside through Blind Davy's and The Windsor before rifling a shot into the top corner all the way from Rejects".
