It's still hilarious that you think losing 10 million in a football club investment is somehow better than moving your 10 million to an offshore company and making a profit from it. (Or even just paying tax on the 10 million). Looking forward to your detailed insight into how those sums work.

I'd be happy to see him back too - we missed him the second half of the season after we sold him. If he does move, though, you just know it's odds on he goes to Paisley.

Turns out Celtic are quite good. Thoughts and votes please...

And Maguire, I hope. And presumably Mahon.

I agree about the left back situation, but when we've lined up with a conventional back 3 and O'Donnell and Carroll as wingbacks, we've actually been pretty solid. Well apart from when Ojala has been moving at walking-pace. We definitely need a back up for van Veen. Our other strikers have different styles and when KVV isn't playing we really miss his hold-up play. Every season I also say we need another creative midfielder, and this season is no different. A fit Goss has been an improvement, but again, we need more than one choice to be available. Wouldn't mind Reece McAlear making a return to Fir Park.

He doesn't need to leave the club to step down from his current position. Just take on a different role.

St Mirren are just training him up for when Burrows decides to step down. I get the feeling he'll be back in our board room at some point.

Just another example of how difficult it is to predict the success of a player at a young age regardless of pedigree. Some are late bloomers, some follow a steady progression and some just stall completely. I'm sure he can do a job somewhere, but his opportunities at Fir Park will continue to be limited.

He also said we made it scrappy in the second half when what we actually did was change shape and tackle more.

Since he left us White has developed into a regular 4 goals a season striker.

On one hand, Celtic playing for fun in front of their home crowd for the first time after winning the title gives me the fear. They could decide to turn on the style and are capable of taking 4 or 5 of anybody in that mood. On the other hand, they might treat it more like a friendly which would give us the edge if we tackle it like it cup final. I suspect we'll be more interested in the Dingwall game and will lose this one, but end of season games are very difficult to predict.

I see our ex keeper Ross Stewart was on the wrong end of a result at Fir Park this evening.

I might need to start checking flights myself.

In case we needed more proof, we are always a better team when Slattery and van Veen are playing. But I agree Ricki takes it this week. He's one of the ones that stepped up when we needed him.

I have to assume he's injured or something because he has been rank rotten every game I've seem in play in 2022.

The Covid seasons have thrown up some strange times. Last season, behind closed doors, St Johnstone winning 2 cups was pretty incredible and unlikely to happen in a regular season. This season hasn't been quite as chaotic, but I think the clubs are still trying to manage the impact and there has been a general leveling of the gap between about 4th and 10th which is why 3 wins this year have put us into Europe while double winning St Johnstone are headed to the relegation play-offs. And then there's Rangers who have been pretty average (for an ugly) in the league this season but stormed their way to a Euro final.

Or we beat Celtic

Dug out another result when it mattered. Too late to change my vote for Lamie as POTY after his Livi and Hearts goals?

Had to join a work meeting at half time. Back online now and watching through my fingers. Just hang on!

I think it's fair to say the Donnelly/Ojala combo is not our most effective.

Get Bevis on for Ojala.

Slattery - POTY.

Aye, it sounded like he shouldn't have been anywhere near the first team squad on Saturday due to his illness, so I guess he just hasn't been able to recover. Hopefully the fit players will be able to take advantage of his good work from the County game.

If you read the details on the official site, it explains why investment is needed to maintain this standard. So it seems a pretty clear cut case.
