I agree . I was a big Tony Watt fan first time he was with us When he came back I was happy to see him back hoping he would get back to his previous form I don't think he has done enough so far to merit being here next season . Still 5 games to go though

Christ knows but It wouldn't shock me tbh we were looking so desperate last summer for transfers. Defo paying some of his wages and that's more than enough for me.

Offer him one of they “ shite loan deals “ people talk about 🫣

I went for Sparrow, not because I think he is the best player but he has exceeded my expectations. No one else has.

Did we pay a fee? I thought we just paid a small percentage of his wages and they were happy to get rid?

Does Daws get credit for KvV? He was already well known to Alexander and Spittal? He was well known in the SPL. No argument about Biereth and Stam though but hopefully the latter will remain injury-free and show us what he can do.

To give Daws his due during his time here he's been decent at finding Sts - Bair, Biereth, Van Veen and I think Stam if you keep him fit could join those names. However this season his recruitment in that area's been poor.

2 nil win for the good guys and send this Perth mob packing. Won't miss drive up there and nothing near stadium.

If we were pinging crosses in the box from both wings I’d play Moses and/or Armstrong but if we are hitting long balls and expecting hold up play till the support arrives then it looks like Watt is your man. Although I would say if we play high press game then we have more chance of getting balls into the box and I wouldn’t start Watt. FFS, we are playing St Johnstone so if ever a game screamed “play high press” this is it!!!

I don't think Watt is great but he's the only Striker we have that can keep hold off the ball and link the play. He needs to do more in front of goal I agree but his link up play is Important to the system working. Armstrong isn't awful but in general prefer Watt starts and he comes off bench. Plange was woeful v St Mirren and not done much else. Dickson who knows he's barley played but going back to City so not overly arsed. Ebieye's first touch and passing remind me of Mugabi so I don.t think he's the answer and Stams injured. So for me Watts the best of the remaining 5.

I would put Casey and Slattery up front they have more of a goal threat than Tony Watt I wouldn't even have him on the bench. We paid a rival club for his services never for get that.

Given Wimmer's preference for players to be comfortable in possession, Halliday is one of about 3 or 4 players we have that are capable of that. In the grand scheme of things, I thought he was one of our better players this season. It's Casey I wouldn't have on that list because, as I have mentioned elsewhere, I don't think the unquestionable energy he brings to the team makes up for the fact he is poor at defending (which is his main role). No obvious standouts, though.

Watt's been playing to put himself in the shop window all season and has been ...... gash. No reason to suspect he'll be any better now, though I agree we are rapidly running out options up front.

I’m not Halliday’s biggest fan but I can understand his name being mentioned for POTY, particularly as the pickings are slim and he has been ever-present this season.

Bring a friend for a fiver. Bumper home crowd. Important game. We all know the rest.

So you give one of your mates a fiver so they’ll come to the game with you? 😀

Im not Hallidays greatest fan either, more a sign of how poor the season has been that I think he' up there as one of the most consistent performers. He's also getting on in years and not someone likely to hold a first team pick next year.

Season ticket holders can bring a friend for a fiver.

That wouldn't work either I got a shitty tuna crunch baguette wi salad missing two weeks ago , wrote a letter still no reply . Typical they both ignore paying customers . 😫

They’d be as well registering the complaint with Upper Crust because the SPFL and SFA could not give two shits about members such as our club.

That is the root of the problem right there, everything the SFA / SPFL ever do is to pander to the ugly sisters to make sure they get what they want ie a 19/19 split every season, the most TV cash etc etc. As a result every other club has to take what's left, and nothing will ever change unless the 11/1 voting rules in the Premiership are altered.

And I assume they totally ignore the loss of income/reduction in season ticket games from the lost home fixture. For me switching the Hearts game was a no brainer but no doubt it was a question of big club/support v wee club/support. I'm guessing neither Celtic or Rangers have ever lost out. Even if Hearts had made top six at the expense of St Mirren I think we would have still been shafted. Then again, our Club voted in this set up. Will not make any difference but I hope MFC have registered a complaint about the whole situation.

I just don’t understand the Halliday love? Each to their own and all that but I think in general apart from maybe a couple of games he’s been poor. his first thought when he gets a ball is to win a foul, he spends 60mins of each game on his ar5e. He rarely creates anything, rarely pushes forward and struggles to track back. as mentioned each to their own but he’s not for me and I’d be letting him go.

Some amount of pant wetting going on around here of late. Looking forward to when we scud this lot, and end up cruising to a fairly standard 7th or 8th place finish. You'd think we were the side five points adrift at the bottom going by the patter on this forum.

The SPFL's the 18/20 split reasoning is a black box and seemingly justified subjectively and randomly. Reasons given in the past include: Finishing in the wrong half of the table; least impact on the relegation fight; and now to rectify a previous imbalance. We were disadvantaged in 2009/10, but benefitted in 2017/18 and so in overall balance. The reason given this time was to rectify our "advantage" in 2017/18. It seems we were chosen this time because we would have least impact on the relegation fight (what about Hearts?), but also because it would result in the least number of fixture reversals. No guarantee then that we won't be fingered again. What a load of codswallop from the SPFL.
