As far as I'm aware neither of the Media Officers are new either and have been in the position for the past 2/3 years.

They're been covering the role between them since Connor Park left in September 2020 and were in place as his volunteer assistants for a couple of years before that. They've been at the club for somewhere between three and five years.

 Presuming we’re paying some money towards his wages then might have been better saving for elsewhere. 

I have no idea what we're paying for Hogarth, but at the time we recruited the likes of Mark Waddington and Aaron Jarvis it cost more to put them up in accommodation than it did to pay them.

English clubs were happy to loan them out for pennies as long as they they were being pushed harder than they would have been in English youth leagues.

Enjoying a barmy night with some nice drinks, and some great friends who’ve travelled from the granite city for a couple of nights in west end. Guys that are true Falkirk supporters and although now settled in Aberdeen, try and take in most home games. Menu is fairly simple, full Scottish around nine, tube and then train to hometown, a few scoops and then the match…………would like to go home for once with a smile……..

Not dismissing your information but how do you know that about Waddington and Jarvis? Was it made public!? 
 

Hopefully if Hogarth still has relatives that live local then the club won’t have to put him up anywhere.

I think the accommodation things was common knowledge among a lot of fans. I believe the club made payments to a company owned by Lex Miller for accommodation. It was in the accounts a year or 2 ago.

Did they mention their wages too?

Conversations with club staff around that time. In those days I was in almost every day due to the Commercial jobs that KK seemed to arrange for at least five days a week, and when you're sitting with players in a car heading out to a photoshoot you pick up bits and pieces. 

I obviously couldn't have mentioned it at the time but it's ancient history now.

Is it back down to just the 4 loans this season or is it still 6 you can make?
We need another midfielder, I can't watch any more of Hetherington

I think it’s still at 6. Though cross border loans don’t count towards that number.

Pennies is still far more than we should’ve been paying either of they rancid players tbh.

Softball FTV questions I don’t mind, but outright lies to make the start look better are an affront to fans. Questions such as “shock results everywhere”, “everyone can beat everyone”. Airdrie 6/6, Dunfermline 6/6 (off the back of Airdrie not losing in about 20 games towards the end of last season). Come on now

It's 5. Which is also what it was last season. Was 4 pre-Covid and up to 6 in 20/21 coming back, dropped back to 5 last season.

Tbh Mcglynn has been at the club for 2 months and the only player who’s left is a third choice goalkeeper.

I highly doubt we’re all of a sudden going to see lots being punted now, especially when a lot of the players most would agree need to go have started every week.

Whether he has tried to move on guys like Nesbitt and Hetherington without success or wants to keep them, I have no idea.

You cannot force players to leave,let's face it would you leave a full-time job unless you have another job to go to?

No Scottish cup replays I see this season which is a bit of a disappointment. I'm surprised enough clubs backed that to be honest it can make them a fair few Bob.

Wasn’t the announcement for that about the qualifying rounds only?
