I’m sure JD Sports are owned by the same company that own Size who regularly cancel orders after their staff members pillage new releases so it’s something they have no issues with doing.

Emailed JD Sports to see what was going on and they’ve come back pretty quick to advise the order is going through so I’m pretty certain they can’t back out now, that was with the 30% off too.

For places to eat it really depends what you’re after and how you’re travelling to the game. Northern Vaults is good for your fairly standard pub grub and is central, Picture House is a Greene king pub, fine for something quick but you get what you pay for. If you’re driving and have a bit of time to spend I’d recommend Stroma down near the harbour or Catsers which is a that also does proper authentic style Pizza.

The registration number on the advert for the new Volkswagen I4 actually belongs to a Peugeot 308. Also whilst looking for the PTTGOYN thread, I scrolled through 9 pages only to then discover it on page 2

There’s plenty of English born players who would almost definitely have turned call ups from us had they been in with even a sniff of an England call up and gone on to do a job for us, so given that Angus Gunn has actually been in England squads I’ve no really issue with him taking his time before switching over. Whether or not he’s actually any good is a different matter and we may get to see that in one of the next 2 games.

If it’s the same as the Xbox version then it’s decent enough, basically the same as the FM Touch versions which were a stripped back version of the full game. Much better than FM Mobile

Thankfully not. Not just jealous, absolutely furious. Not sure who Brechin employ to do their security but if it’s the same company that supply the muppets at Montrose then this sounds about right. I know that Brechin are not, or certainly approaching the start of last season were not, willing to pay much for security personnel so they’re probably scraping the barrel a bit.

Went to see Jimmy Carr years ago as someone had a spare ticket, absolutely pish. Been to a few comedy nights in Montrose, normally hosted by Scott Forbes who I believe does quite a bit at Breakneck in Aberdeen and even with the odd stinker performing, the nights tend to be class.

Was looking at these on their sale earlier, what like are they size wise?

Having to not go to Brechin is a risk worth taking.

If you don’t mind waiting for me to get to the post office on Friday or Saturday, or if you just happen to be in Montrose at some point through the week, then I have a programme for you.

As mentioned by others, The Stables is closed. I would second the suggestion for the Brechin Arms if you were looking for somewhere other than the bar at the ground. There’s also a bus at 1pm from Montrose to Brechin that depending on what time your train gets in, would allow for some drinking time in a civilised setting before heading through.

I want Darvel to lose because every single one of their fans that was interviewed on Reporting Scotland was a weirdo but also want Falkirk to lose because of the way Callumn Morrison spells his first name.

I believe having licensed security at the grounds is something that Angus Council push for and also helps with some of the SFA licensing stuff. It’s surely the only reason that Montrose and Arbroath continue to employ the muppets that they do.

Aye I’ll be having that, don’t usually bother with Scotland tops but that’s a belter

St Johnstone were able to recall Ross Sinclair from us for a game in November then send us straight back to us, both outwith any transfer window which until then I didn’t realise was possible. Could be that you would do the same with Schwake if required

Souttars move was also a deadline day one I believe so it possibly is just a case that they take a bit longer for FIFA to do the paperwork on them and both clubs would rather wait.

He was 100% involved with Celtic before signing for Dundee United, can’t remember if it was just a case of playing in a youth tournament or something as opposed to actually being signed for them though.

I can’t remember what the exact issue was but when Harry Souttar joined Stoke from Dundee United, there was some hold up due to him being under 18 that meant he wasn’t officially announced until about a month later. Could be that everything is done behind the scenes but they’re just waiting for FIFA to approve it or something?

I also found it a bit strange that not only did we announce the pre contract of Williamson today but also made quite a big deal of announcing that our young goalkeeper who has been around the first team for a couple of years now has signed a new contract. I wouldn’t like to suggest that it was an attempt to try and gloss over a lack of actual signings in probably the 2 positions that we really require them though.

Been in training for a good few weeks so at least Petrie will know what he’s signing but if the feedback I’m getting is accurate then I’d imagine a majority of game time will be as a sub

A friend who goes to almost every Elgin game has made a comparison between Machado and Antoniazzi, both tidy on the ball but probably not the man you want if you’re trying to grind out games. We’re short on numbers having lost a few of our loan players as well as 2 of our own players leaving so we’ve had to fill the bench with academy players, I’m guessing he’s shown enough in the training sessions he’s had with us recently to at least improve our options off the bench.

Transfermarkt has him as having played 31, including starting 16 games in a row and playing the full game in almost all them? Have they just got him mixed up with someone else?

Spoke to a friend who seen plenty of Machado at Elgin and reckons he’s essentially just Chris Antoniazzi. The way Ross Matthews signing a pro deal has been announced would suggest to me that we’re going with him and Lennox until the end of the season. Falkirk fans not overly enamoured with Ryan Williamson and his injury record however going part time could potentially be easier on him, or he could end up like James Keatings and continue rapidly dropping down.

That answers the question I was coming on to ask then… I wouldn’t be surprised if we haven’t tried to take him just now since we haven’t actually had a natural right back all season.
