We have a few experienced heads potentially leaving, and some more youngsters on the cusp of more first team minites, so having someone of hallidays experience in the middle of the park is a good idea. Would be happier if said person wasn't actually halliday, but as said above, he may be more effective after a proper pre season. Didn't think we were particularly bad today, then the red took the game away from us. Even then we had some pressure near the end but we couldn't quite carve out the clear chance for Oli Shaw to miss. Loved SKs calling out the ref for being a virgin that wouldn't look so much like a pale alien if he spent less time in the dark wanking to videos of refs giving cards.

Liquid football

I think he's destined to be the rangers sub goalie, or go to a club in the US, likely in the south.

Yep, that rumour was born on this here thread. Surprised it hasn't made the daily record yet.

That just happens to be how much money we need. Cool.

The other two things I listed didn't happen either, that was the joke.

Oli Shaw costing us top six is the new Van Der Gaag firing in a free kick against Dunfermline, or Davide ferrere hitting the bar from halfway against Hibs.

Imagine going to the last game against St J, and we both need a draw. They should get that one for Sky just in case, would be an all-timer.

Exactly. That's why we're worried.

Has kettlewell signed a defender that can defend (i.e. not a wing back)? I guess Casey kind of counts.

There's no one in the squad that I'd complain about if we gave them a new contract, but outside of Miller there's no one I'd really care about if we let them go/sold them.

So, 1 win or 1 RC loss to guarantee no playoff?

I'm fine with keeping "out of possession Davor" on for the full 95, but subbing "Davor with the ball" as early as possible.

I think we should probably lose that PCA we have with Halliday. I don't think he's particularly bad, but I feel the money would be better spent elsewhere. The only advantage that I could see with him is to add veteran presence for the weans, and cover us if we extend Slattery We should also tell Blackburn that Gent was in the same box as hallidays PCA that we lost, and the fact that he looks like our now signing, Jorge Jent, is just a coincidence. I think people shit talking Spittal are telling themselves stories. He still works his ass off, and stuff just wasn't coming off for him today. He should still be our poty.

Joking about bow bad Shaw is is fine, but if we're going to put a cost on his miss (which looked offside anyway) based on league placings in five games time, we need to do the same for every other miss or goal conceded. He potentially cost us a banter win today, that's it.

We should play our best possible team until our league placing is guaranteed.

Oli Shaw may not have cost us top six today, but he did cost us some quality banter, and in many ways that's worse.

I always think hibs are way better than they are because of the Terrace lads, but they were piss poor. Was waiting on malida tearing us to shreds, and I think he was too.

I'd appreciate if someone could set up a meeting with me and Oli Shaws agent.

Oli fucking Shaw

Elliot Husband Powton is a Fast Show character.

It's a trap, hes using Elizabeth Banks to trick us into selling the stadium to build an ASDA. Tale as old as time. Also, happy Margaret Thatcher is still dead day to those who celebrate.

I'm sure the "well society needs capitalists" crowd are the same venn circle as the "scrap the women's team" ghouls. In reality, how much money woild genuinely push us to the "next level"? And what even is the next level? We have St. Mirren and Killie enjoying their turn doing what we do every 5 years or so, then it will be a different two when those teams either sell their good players or try to be too clever, like we normally do at the end of our good cycle. If we wanted to guarantee top 4 and cups, we'd need to spend more than Hearts, hibs and Aberdeen, but they're as unpredictable as everyone else. So how much more money than those three teams would we need to absolutely guarantee 3rd every season? My back of a napkin calculations suggest it would be a fucking shit load. So even though punting the women's team and telling the community teams to buy their own strips could make us the millions we need to get third, it's only fucking third, and now the weans are crying and weve pissed off half the planet. We'd have to stop maintaining the ground and challenge the OF just to make it worthwhile. Won't go too much into politics, but if you're not a millionaire but you're a tory, you're a gimp.

Only because they didn't sign for us.

I dont actually think we'd lose 5, but that seems to be whats generally mooted as the downside of top six. With absolutely nothing to lose, we could be a dangerous prospect for the teams that have something to play for. Then you have killie and hearts just seeing out the season... I was at peace with "just don't be stranded at the bottom come the split" in December, so I'm not going to be distraught if we don't get it done next week. On another subject, I can't wait for next January's frenzy about Bair coming back on loan from Leeds or something.
