I did not realise this either. I’ve already had people asking me in work if he’s going to Celtic. 3 million and they can have him

So were St. Johnstone

Nigel Pearson just became available

That third strip is right up my street. Take my sixty quid and send it to me as soon as you can. Magic

The season starts here. No better platform than last minute limbs against Dundee at McDiarmid Park. It may only be a draw but that has to be big for us

Looked at the replies to Charlton announcing it. Not inspiring. I hope they’re wrong though. “Three years to learn and he still can’t cross a ball” How much use is a winger without anyone being in the box to get on the end of the crosses anyway

And for fans

If this is what it turns out to be and we’ve signed him on a two year deal then great if it happens because it would mean everybody was doing something right. I know it’s wishful thinking but we need any hope we can cling on to right now

Depressingly that first half might feel to Maclean a justification for keeping Considine and McGowan in the team. Which shows how much of a struggle we have ahead

Liam Gordon is not a footballer. It pains me to say it cos I don’t like the guy, but he’s a pound-shop Ryan Porteous. No ability and only useful as an enforcer. And he hasn’t the brains to enforce his presence. And are we a very unfit team? Has preseason been hard enough?

Until the signing is confirmed and he’s stood there holding his jersey I refuse to even believe he might be coming to us. We’ve been made to wait on every one so far. It shouldn’t be this hard to sign players. I’m a paranoid pessimist

This, this, this and a million times this. They’re slow, cumbersome, can not pass, try to run forward with the ball then when they inevitably lose it can’t get back quick enough (which is where the goal came from today). Today was my first game in a couple of years cos I’m a glory hunter who only gets to European games (today was next to my house) and I’m already questioning why I would want to go to Alloa. That today should be a massive wake up call. Ryan McGowan was unbelievably bad. It was absolutely frightening. The defence needs supplemented three times over. I’m scared

15 quid for the Stenny game isn’t the worst price it could have been. Even if we’re not sure what kind of squad we’ll have when we get there. I’ll maybe take my boots and shinnies over just in case

Probably couldn’t have asked for a better draw for personal reasons. Given how hard it is for me to get to games the chance to walk to Ochilview and even a short dip in the car over the water to Alloa is just perfect. Who wants to borrow my driveway?

Would it be wrong to suggest that we just be grateful that we’ve got nearly three months of transfer window to go and plenty of time to play with? We’ve got the makings of a team to get us through the group stage of the league cup even without signings. Let’s just be positive and thankful that we’re not Dundee

If Shaughnessy had stuck around we wouldn’t have got what we got from Jason Kerr. It’s a no from me. He’s got the potential to be a liability because he thinks he’s something and he also has a 60 yard launch as his default second touch. A diddy and a dafty

His latest suggestion appears to be this. MacLean hasn’t improved things that much because in the five games he has been in charge, he hasn’t taken us to a cup double. The man is a parody, but makes the kind of statements that would have you grabbing his head and slamming it off the nearest table in the pub to try drum some sense into him. So frustrating to read the delusion. Proper Tory behaviour

And yes, if Robbie Deas hasn’t signed his PCA somewhere else, get in there now we know where we stand. Start the rebuild now. Top to bottom

I don’t know how we did it, and quite frankly I really don’t care, but safety has to mean a totally changed team for the last two games. I don’t care about any other teams and their requirements. Sinclair has to play, Ballantyne and anyone else who is allowed. We’ve nothing to lose. We’re safe. Maybe we deserve it, maybe we don’t. I don’t care. We are safe. Get it right up everyone else. Especially the Dundee lot. United or unUnited. We made it. The end.

Does Allan Preston have any unemployed managers on his books? Just in case that becomes a thing too

It is a thank you to Callum, what happened in 2021 will never ever be forgotten, but the time for change passed a long time ago. It’s time to move on and stabilise the club and team and get us safe asap

I was intrigued by that theory of not being backed in the market. How much did we spend on guys like Mahon? And I’m sure the signing on fees for guys like Carey and Considine would be considerable given that’s usually what it takes to sign free agents who have come from clubs who pay higher wages.

I joined the banter page just to see what this not very Bright character was up to. That poll got me thinking. At what point does delusion become something social services should be looking into? Scary stuff

Am I the only one who is worried that because our board is that fucking daft just now, the six figure sum could also be £999’999?

This is unacceptable. Fair play to you all for going to watch the team every week. No idea why you do it. It’s hard enough being a part time armchair fan. This has to be the straw that breaks the camel’s back
