Us?
Time to put down the bottle of Glen's lads.

As much as were all desperate for signings were in a fairly decent position at the moment in terms of squad rebuilding. Only Livingston have signed more players at this stage. We’re currently sitting at a squad of 21, I suspect 3 or 4 of them may move on loan which will free up some more space. That being said we’re still needing to add 5 or 6 so a lot of work still to be done.
5 or 6 I'm assuming not including the don't knows from the 21? Which would need replaced so it'll be more than 5 or 6?
Even at 21 atm it still feels bloated and could do with a trim.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. I think every team goes through a dry period of the window where you have a week or two without a signing. We've still got 6 weeks until our first competitive match so I'm a bit more laid back (surprisingly)
Brown said he was wanting business done early though.
Not that I'm expecting things this early but earlier than usual.
Its imperative to get off to a good start next season, I don't see much leeway with the way the league is set up

Never have I been turned off a show as quickly as this one in the opening three minutes and the "attack me with all your strength" line.
One review tagged this as Star Wars on the CW network and it's spot on. Awful dialogue, directing, action and everything else.

Well aye but ones been given a two year deal and the other a one year deal so not happening sadly.
Yes, I've accepted that but I don't have much faith things are going to be that much different.

Brown also must see something as well given he’s sanctioned a new contract.
Not only him but his three predecessors.

I'd much rather both were gone tbh.

Yeah, you’d think he’d have a bit of an emotional attachment seen as we are the only team that has really stuck by him and played him regularly. Perhaps the last 2-3 months lessened that for him.
I think he's got grand ideas of where he should be instead of taking a step back for a season or two.

We could match an offer I would guess ,lives in Perth and not looking to move house so Glasgow halves his distance for same money it’s a no brainer
Are you saying he's turned us down for the sake of about 50 mins travel?

Surely that'll be it for loan signings if true.

I think most teams are using bank accounts now. Maybe not Morton.
Hamilton switched to pots a few year ago as well.

Had to google that not because I didn’t believe you just I had questions, so it £18k for each of the teams involved no wonder they are trying to cut costs(premier sports) , they need to sell 2500 passes at £14 to break even. No wonder the bbc pay us peanuts for our Friday night games.
TV money gets put into a pot as well does it not, or at least it used to, or something like that.

Your conclusion was wrong.
I disagree.

It's funny that nobody has even considered that he might have Skyped them, like every interview in every other occupation.
But also - Bullen put pen to paper for multiple players he'd never even seen! Admittedly the chance that a player based in Edinburgh rather than Bethnal Green would be unable to travel for a face-to-face is a bit different, but still. It's been a funny old few years.
And Hopkin buggered off on holiday and everything came to a standstill while he was away...

That's not an acronym, its an initialism.
I was debating that and came to the conclusion it was both.

See the away game to Dundee Utd has been picked for showing by Premier Sports on the 20th next month.

Do you think Celtic would let us borrow their disco lights for the big day?
That would be amazing...

I propose letting the young un's choose the songs for half time at the Celtic game, and then a thumbs up selfie with Smith in the hub after.

They sold the whole support out when they chose Celtic to open the new stand. They knew exactly the reaction it would receive and the resentment it would cause.
They knew that Celtic fans would get far more out this game than Ayr fans would. They knew from the off that the ground would be 75% Celtic (at least).
They made a business decision and dropped their drawers for money.
Some folk are happy with that. I'm not. Not going to cry over it and when we get a decent player signed I'll more than likely move on but they've lost the trust (again) of a lot of young fans. They'll never learn.
You've been crying over it all day.

It would help if it made sense in the context.
Luckily it does that too.

The way the chat on here is going about this though is starting to reflect P&B at it's most tedious. One side is framed as permaraging, with their piss being constantly on the boil and the other side as being cool headed megaminds who always have the big picture in mind. Boring as f**k.
This is an irritating but inconsequential game. Sulk like me for a few hours, mump and moan about it after a few pints, take their money and get over it.
Which side do you fall on then?
Or are you the impartial voice of reason?

I'm annoyed by it. Selling tickets to anybody other than the home fans in the home end breaks a point of principle for me. But, by christ, it's one (non-competitive) game. Feel aggrieved for 10 minutes and move on.
Most level headed response from the NIMBY crowd I've read so far.

Fucking hell the discourse is getting ridiculous now.
You'd think the future of the club is at stake with the amount of slavering going on.

If anyone deserves it Frankie does.
His two year stint here is a testemant to that.
