BBC now reporting that Maurice Ross made a racially insensitive comment to one of the players at Notts County.

My £10 on him being the next Clyde manager gets better with every passing week, tbh.

Yeah, him. He pretty much nailed the on/off Stevie May saga to us, and stuff he reported back then (Aberdeen wanting a loan, May saying he'd only leave permanently, May agreeing to less money to force through the move) has since been confirmed elsewhere.

Think he's relatively legit (or was), even if half the time he's just stealing Scott Burns articles.

I'll take Scott Burns' word for it and Scott Burns' word only. :lol:

Just to say, full agreement that those curry awards are a fucking sham and presumably paying a fee gets you nominated if Taza is on it. Long live the balaka. 

Speaking of...

We should definitely be seeking the opinion of everyone with a £50 stake in the club whenever we pay a fairly standard fee to be considered for an industry award.

I get that but I am more getting at the club and media team bumming themselves up these things when they pay to enter.

Consider it as a fairly cheap 'performance related staff bonus' and it makes sense. 

If the team does a good job you send them on a jolly, it's what all sorts of businesses do all the time, because scrimping on a few quid is the easiest way to kill morale and lose the productivity (and possibly the staff!)

Now it appears to be a given that Dec is joining Aberdeen. Simple Q - does he feature in our last 2 league games ?

He is our best defender and I am sure I read one of the rumours that by removing extension contract we would get any money due from his appearance at the Euros. Not corroborated anywhere I might add but by not playing him would it endanger his chances ? I don’t think so. I think he would make the squad at this stage regardless. 

I have had his back in most of my posts, but I would leave him out and play players that will be here next season. I doubt GA will do that. But I would. 

Edit to add - best central defender.

Has Campbell ever officially captained the side? 

Whether he has or not - he should be given the Armband on the last day of the season - because I'm a sentimental old b*****d.

For all I've been snarky about him the past while, I'd just play him. It is what it is and since he's picked his toys back up he's been fine.

We've a settled enough back 4 and unless we absolutely have to I don't really see much point changing it - we already know what Bevis can and can't do, Magloire is unlikely to be here next season and I don't think we'd be doing Devine any favours chucking him into the team for the LOLZ.

Absolutely back @Swello's suggestion of giving Campbell the armband for the last game of the season though.

I was previously advocating leaving him out once we were safe, but Saturday's victory propping us up into 7th makes me think that we play our best team for the last two games and try and finish as high as we can.

I'd play him. We've got our "finishing above St Mirren for the last 3 decades" trophy to retain.

It is feasible that we achieve all our aims in the game against Dundee United.  That being the case then I don’t mind who gets a game against Ross County, U16s mainly I hope.
