They'll just be glad to be out the slums for the day.

They were auctioning off the shirts worn against us earlier in the season after the game at Tannadice That's arguably worse than the canvas

For me Mcleannan is nowhere near good enough to play at this level. Mostly a passenger and for me has shown very little quality as well. Puts effort in but I'll be very frustrated if we sign him. (He was a certainty to be signed by Davidson though). For me his career is at best going to be at a part time level. MOH... I've always said if he didn't have the pace he'd be playing amateurs. For a period he played wide right for us, would use the pace keep it simple get a yard on the man and fire it across. He started trying to be clever, cutting inside etc... Useless. Gilmour definitely has no long term future at Saints unless the new manager somehow fancies him. In his limited opportunities he looked incredibly uncomfortable and out his depth. Caveat to that as well that Davidson tried playing him as a wing back?!!! At the start of the season (Another example of Davidson forcing that formation).

Not surprised... Wasn't the only one either it seems. Although, his greeting is somewhat ott. His seats have been moved but that heartbreaking news was delayed from him by a week. Oh no.

I'm astonished Carey is apparently the only player that can put a delivery into the box with shape and pace. I've ranted about this about 6 times but Macphersons floaty ones are always going to be difficult to score from because of the lack of pace on the ball as well as often hung up to the back post so you need to win the first header to knock it back across and then a second header to score. Making it easier to defend because they're given two chances to cut it out every single time.

You do know he's from Dundee right?

They are. -------------- The whole proposal is to appease two groups. Old Firm mainly wanting their Colt Teams in the league and the teams at the lower end of the leagues scared of relegation out of league 2 after they've seen how Berwick etc have faired after going down. It's not for the good of the game but the SPFL will see it as doing what their members ask. If they could get away with it I reckon they'd happily remove the pyramid promotion playoff all together. This just makes it even more difficult for the ambitious teams from progressing. We've got some great ex junior sides that would be a great addition to our League "proper". They rightfully so need to get their own merit but there's no need to continue to add more obstacles to that. Especially nonsense colt teams.

Brexit resulting these clubs being unable to sign European kids under 18 has resulted in them trying to find ways to get access to younger players. That could be part of it. Speculation of course.

I'm not in the know but I can confidently say it's not Elon Musk that's for sure

I think we can be fairly confident its an attempt at a wind up.

3 wins in 14 doesn't scream "going well". Although I guess mid table in League 2 is about their level?

Their fans sound unhappy!

Especially when it blows up...

Some might say sad but it probably better use of time than watching some utter crap on TV or Netflix

This could be made into a bit of a game We've got a whole week to kill after all....

I'm always worried about the overseas owner as more often than not in Scotland it's not gone particularly well. Likewise in the lower Leagues in England. Although I imagine there is people out there who know and if they had some concerns about them then they'd be leaking info regarding those concerns? Would love to know who they are. If/when we're confirmed secure we may see an announcement at that point.

I'd have expected the name to have leaked if they'd been around the club regularly? Once they're at a match day I'd expect names/photos of faces/ rumours to start going around as to who they are. Can't see them finalising terms with league status in the balance either as the value of the club differs and therefore I imagine the value of the deal is likely to differ depending what league we're in.

Macca's shoes?!

Yeah it was on. That was the last of the series though.

Scored a VERY good header. Puts plenty effort in but hasn't shown that much quality either. Although most of that was under Davidson and in his only start (I think) Considine got sent off early on so spent the rest of the game chasing clearances up the park etc. He looks miles better than Theo Bair (isn't hard). Now that Davidson is gone though I can't see us spending a penny on him.

That probably explains a lot

Ali Crawford doing Dundee a major favour today

Agree re the official tender obsession. What broadcaster was going to offer more than Sky? No one. The very likely reason it didn't go out to tender was because the SPFL knew there was no real other interest, at least not up to the level of the current deal. If that went to tender Sky would have gained the rights but with less concessions than they ended up giving. Who's actually going to buy those other packages? BBC would only buy if it's going cheap. Viaplay will be only interested if its consistently Rangers and Celtic in the package - which it won't be.

Good try.

Don't want to harp on about the shape again as it's more than that and more about the roles. When you play 3 as conventional centre backs with two holding midfielders in front. Two wing backs supplying the width then a front two with one in behind, when you think about it there's no surprise there wasn't many bodies getting into the box. The front two and attacking midfielder in behind are the only ones who are going to get into the box with any regularity as well as maybe a wing back at that back post occasionally.
