  1. Elvis is glad that Dunne is sidelined. Dunne is sidelined with an injury. Elvis is glad that Dunne is sidelined with an injury. Ergo, Elvis is glad that Dunne is injured.
  2. Here's my chance! Finally, I am afforded the opportunity to use 'ergo' on Pie&Bovril!
  3. Ah, but when the signings are complete, will we have doidged a bullet...?
  4. I recall a scene equally unedifying in Dumbarton a few years ago when Ian Murray was subject to horrific vitriol from many St Mirren supporters as he crossed the pitch at the end of a match. It was embarrassing.
  5. Perhaps I'm reading too much into the goal/assist stats. They don't tell the whole story, but if it were to be a 4 month loan deal as has been suggested, I do wonder what kind of impact he could have.
  6. That would be something of an anticlimax. https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/how-has-uche-ikpeazu-been-getting-on-since-leaving-middlesbrough/
  7. Yes, picked up a niggle on the hideous plastic pitch in Montrose. Not too serious, however.
  8. With the caveat that it was a friendly, everything productive the team exhibited against Dumbarton a couple of weeks back was through Strain. I'm becoming increasingly anxious at the prospect of losing him late in the window. Yes, we might get a reasonable fee, but I would doubt we could use it to replace him with a player who possesses his attributes (and is generally very consistent). The later he went, the harder it would be to source a replacement before the window shuts. Unless Strain is champing at the bit to get a shot at a bigger club (which would be entirely reasonable, in all fairness), I hope the club is asking for a prohibitive sum for him. He is our best player and most prized asset by some distance.
  9. I recall the minor outcry when Carson signed. Apparently he was a significant downgrade in Alnwick, who was a significant downgrade on Hladky. Let's give Hemming a chance, FFS!
  10. We need a left back, and a goalkeeper. That's it, really. Gogic can play in central defence, as can Fraser (at a push). With Taylor, Dunne, and Gallagher, we have central defensive options. The left of defence is a concern, yes, but we must assume the manager is aware of this. I'm not really sure where the suggestion that we are wildly imbalanced is coming from.
  11. Clubs will typically be more ready to embark on a campaign in August as that has been the traditional season KO. Introducing a national cup competition when the major squad building process is underway is a very different scenario.
  12. Contracts typically expire at the end of a season and the close/pre-season is when there is the greatest churn.
  13. In terms of the mystery forward, my money is on a name that hasn't been mentioned and few of us have even heard of.
  14. Dargo gets singled out for treatment (nae pun intended) in terms if his injury record, but no-one was more frustrated about that than the player himself.
