Felt like someone was turning a bright light on and off every couple of minutes. Not as bad as the seagulls, mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were one of the booers (may not be an actual word) at half time, weren’t you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I pledged to give the new management team at least 135 minutes before I went down that road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It never seems to happen, but surely they should be clarifying that this match could be on either the 10th or 11th depending on how St Mirren fare in their European tie this and next week. I know that the chances are that they will be knocked out, but if for some reason they’re not, then the club should be making it clear about the dubiety over the date. Clubs and the league are really poor with this. Aberdeen's two games with Hearts, currently listed on the SPFL website, Hearts' website, and Aberdeen's website as October 5th and November 30th, will both definitely not be played on those dates, as Hearts have Thursday games. I accept it's possible they maybe get moved to the Monday or something, but at least provisionally listing them as the default Sunday 3pm at this stage would make sense. None of Hearts' European dates have yet been accounted for on any fixture list. We know there are 8 Saturday games (at least) that won't happen. It's poor. It's already had a DEVASTATING impact on my life, as my mum consulted her fixture list and booked a dinner out for a few of us for a Sunday she assumed was free. Too much hassle to move it. No Motherwell away for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ampersand Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Bologna appear to have spent about £12m on a striker from Ligue 1 - sounds like their Zirkzee replacement. They’d still have money left for Bojan, but could well be one bidder out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thenorthernlight Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I know there’s 5 weeks left of the transfer window, but with little over a week until the league starts, is anyone slightly concerned at the quality & depth of the squad? I’d say we’re needing a minimum of 4 good players in. Two wingers, a centre mid & a right back. I’d also argue if/when Bojan leaves, we’d need a striker as I’m not sure that Sokler is good enough. As the squad stands, we’ll be lucky to be top 6 IMO. Thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the squad stands, we’ll be lucky to be top 6 IMO. Thoughts? I hate to be a bit of a doomer, but I am starting the season with similar anxieties. Albeit against lower league oposition, the central midfield has looked like it could be more effective than a lot of last season (although Barron and Polvara are obviously unfortunate depth deficits in that area). The new central defence and keeper combo is untested. Question marks remain over all our full backs. We have zero wingers/width that we can rely on. Sokler is alright, but nowhere near Miovski's levels - more concerning is the current alternatives to Sokler. So, aye. Lots of holes to fill in this squad and we probably have to endure the irritating annual test of our patience through to late August to see any meaningful transfer business progressing.
