I’m always very critical of the BoD but not really on this occasion. What is the point in signing 3/4 players when Bartley hasn’t shown that he can get the best out of the squad he has? I personally don’t see the point in giving him a few players as even if we did make the play offs, we would just embarrass ourselves as we have no chance of going up. If Bartley was to get binned, it should have been a month ago, so a new manager could get a plan for the window, but since that hasn’t happened I’d say we may as well just stick till the end of the season and evaluate things then.

Is Gav or Cochrane back for the game today?

Ah got you, makes total sense!

If that’s the case why did he join Morton on loan rather than join them permanently in the summer?

So frustrating he’s fell out with MB as he’d be our best player. Questions need ask the fact he was allowed to leave in the first place.

I’ve never understood the last few seasons recruitment with squads of 25+, I think it makes a lot more sense to run with a much smaller squad of 16/17 senior players (like Morton do) and the rest from our academy. That is surely a better way to manage our finances so we are in the market for a better player. Having said that, with this seasons injuries we would have struggled for a full squad most weeks.

Who?

He made a good impression at Blackpool as Caretaker so think he will just be waiting around till their manager gets binned with the hope of getting the gig full time. Also he has two young kids still in school so can't see him being our manager unless we went down to part-time due to travelling involved.

Aye get the impression he’s going to try and outlast Bartley if he’s still here next season, heard a few things and don’t think they see eye to eye at all.

Got told today actually that he was considering a transfer request for this month up until the last few weeks as hes been starting more games. He wants to stay here for next season if he’s starting regularly.

I thought John Rankin was the best player on the park, looks better now than when he played for us!

Heard he’s broke his wrist

I’d guess 350-400

I got asked why I was wearing a Queens top in the Granary the day of our Challenge Cup final a few years ago as it happened to be the same day as the Old Firm.

Have been told that the previous times we have played Annan this season Gibson was training with the reserves all week in leading up to the game.

Heard the same (Todd and Gibson)

His recruitment started off really well with us though, Dabrowski, Brydon and Logan were all good last season, and Kabia looked decent until his injury. This isn't me advocating for MB to get January to put things right, just pointing out every signing hasn't been a waste of space.

The fact they consistently keep all their players without a rebuild every summer. Also from being told how much players in the first team with us earn.

I highly doubt we offer anywhere close to what Arbroath do to be honest. I thought Cove still had PT contracts before going FT next summer.

We won’t be in the market for the best part time players though? Arbroath, Cove and even East Kilbride could pay bigger wages than us.

So guessing the Stirling Albion fan on here was talking shite?

Thought he’d have been punted by now.

He kicks about with the Liverpool team anytime they win a trophy so don’t think that’s strictly true, however don’t think he has any interest in us at all. Pretty sure he got asked to do a song with the club years ago and he wasn’t interested obviously.

What difference does the interview have though on whether he’ll be announced as sacked tomorrow? I think it’s just more likely the BoD are screening any content of his interviews after the other week. To be honest I think he will after the triple substitution yesterday, to me that suggests as though he’s rewarding the players with a good attitude the chance for their appearance bonus before he’s gone.

Just seen the clip Dundee United put on their Twitter of our cup game in 2005. Only thing I could pay attention too was how many people we used to get through the gate, and pretty certain that game was at a time we were struggling near the bottom of the championship.
