Could DT play as a "trialist" then come back as a loanee?

Reading Duffy's comment that DT might return to Kilmarnock so that Stevie Clarke can have another look at him makes me think our number 20 won't be gracing the grassy Glebe this Saturday.

Oh, you young whipper-snapper, you. In my day pubs weren't open in the afternoons although you could take your kerry-oot (before there were carry-outs, FifeSon) to the game with you. And the "one game on the radio" (or wireless/transistor) was only second-half commentary and the match being covered wasn't revealed until half-time, although you could usually guess from which particular sectarian chanting you could hear in the background. Pubs had no televisions and did not allow women entry except to the snug. On the downside they sold Watney's bloody Draught Red Barrel.

That's a pretty specific prediction, is your source within DFC ? Same source told me both. Not "within" DFC but very close to it.

News on the personnel front. Kilmarnock want £5000 for DT to stay for the rest of the season, money that will become available due to the impending departure of Samantha (providing a volunteer can be found for that role).

I see Ndjoli has extended his loan at Killie which just might enable us to keep DT until the end of the season.

Responsibility for all managerial comments and interviews are now the job of the club's new Press Spokesman: Stevie Aitken. Argh! THAT name, THAT name. Nurse Rosie, quick, another pint. At least

Andy Little interview if you've nothing better to do before opening time. Linky

Whisper it.

It's all part of our policy of nurturing talent.

A ginger geezer will be on soon to tell us that three of the first five games were clean-sheets, while overlooking the fact his trusted custodian of the onion bag fished the ball out ten times in 135 minutes in the other two.

You worried that a big club comes in for Dyer, Perry or Adam?

We'll give you a lovely Killie replacement Adam Frizzell if we can have a shot of Thomas again? We can direct a highly-rated (by himself) guy by the name of Aitken your way if you wish. Comes complete with sycophants and baggage. Free agent as well (tee-hee) so there is no transfer cost. Will supply own Rangers jersey.

Jan 1. Have we re-signed Dom Thomas yet? Is Duffy down at the stadium putting certain individuals' possessions into black bin bags? Shit, the pub is open........................

Can't help but notice that the words "Stevie" and "Aitken" don't appear in the Chairman's speech. "Injuries" did, but I think he got away with it.

It all makes Brexit seem a sensible discussion.

I would have thought that Barney's outfit was more of a colour clash with Stenny's strips than our red kit. And just be lucky you don't watch games on a black-and-white telly.

My favourite colour clash was Thistle in their red/yellow halved shirts and black shorts at The Rock with Dumbarton in a yellow top, black shorts ensemble. If a visiting player was facing the wrong way you couldn't tell which side he was playing for. Didn't last long - Dumbarton sent to don the all-white away kit.

Aye, and you didn't argue with Tiny Wharton when he told you to get them changed.

Remind me please. Who was this Stevie Aitken bloke?

Was all set to be libating my tonsils in the Station Hotel at opening time on Saturday but forget about THAT bloody game. Any decent boozers likely not to be showing it?

SA's team selections this season have finally been explained: he was the one who reported the drones at Gatwick.

Perhaps AA (disb. 1918) sat elsewhere due to the number of "guests" they brought along. Young AA-ers in training, complete with matching woggles. And before you say it, I know.

It's certainly his spelling.

Weren't they the ones in the Santa Adam outfits?
