Saw Danny Johnson getting on the scoresheet in the Carabao Cup at the weekend.

Still don't have any money to pay for it, though.

Cedric's move confirmed. Despite all the speculation on here, I'd be surprised if we weren't getting our agreed cut of the fee. It's our bread and butter. Shame DT didn't follow this route, but maybe he'll be inspired to move down south sooner rather than later, and for hefty sell-on fee.

We certainly lost some of that intensity when we went all seated in the East. As a club with a financial philosophy these days of "break even", the only way we could obtain the cash to build a new stadium would be via a substantial loan or from a benefactor. Having just become debt-free, the thought of assuming a new debt or being beholden to an individual investor does not appeal. So unless we can get a substantial no-strings attached donation from somewhere, I can't see much beyond the usual fare of a small box effort with uncomfortable plastic seats and a one way system that backs-up at full time. I really hope I am well and truly wrong about that.

And now he is unretiring to play for non-league side, Gartcairn.

The Aberdeen and Celtic players didn't really help with this either.

Looks like Jamie Murphy is heading to Easter Road for season long loan (to become permanent in the 21/22 season). Rangers strategy, apparently, is only to loan fringe players to Premiership rivals this season in a effort to bolster their bid to stop Celtic's 10 in a row push.

Luckily (or not) for the overseas fans, we're getting the MFC TV stream. That probably means the Celtic TV feed with their obnoxious commentary team, but at least it can be watched with the sound off.

Not too shabby for an emergency signing.

That's standard practice for just about any team who is about to transfer a player. It ensures we get a better price and sweetens the deal for both parties. If we'd played him, Celtic (or any suitor) would be asking for a discount.

I'm not sure fielding a player you just employed is lacking integrity.

Sounds good. Especially as my old $4.99/month ESPN+ plan is grandfathered in. They already do good coverage of the EFL games as well as many other European and South American matches. They even have the Australian games on,

Either Celtic are going be feeling the pressure and struggle to perform. So will beat us by the odd (self-inflicted) goal. Or they are going to be fired up looking to put their Champions League exit behind them, and we could be in trouble. Let's just take it to them the same way we took it to Hibs and see what happens. If DT does make an appearance at some point I'd bet a fair wad that Campbell will nail him.

The all seated Fir Park can look ugly. You notice that even more if you view it from the Phil O'Donnell Stand. It doesn't look as bad from the other side looking into the O'Donnell. While it was by no means pristine when it had terracing, its open air nature did make it look better when it was empty. Or maybe that's just the nostalgia talking.

We need to pay them so we can stream their feed?

Problem is we have no money.

If you believe wikipedia, Crags was a boyhood Glentoran fan - so maybe he wanted to keep things balanced.

Still sounding miserable.

It might be - but I'm struggling to find that anywhere, Of course the prize money might be less this year with single leg ties and no crowds - the figures I had were from last season. Regardless it's all extra money in the bank.

You don't sound happy.

What I'm trying to say is that 220k is your baseline for being papped out in the preliminary round. If you progress you get 240k if you are papped out. Win that and you get 260k if you are papped out in the 3rd round. etc. These are all just baseline payments. In prior years the TV money share has been quite tasty too. 200k+ per round sounds like a lot, but UEFA money can be a bit mental.

Maltese Hibs would be a nice draw.

I think you're right. I think basically those figures are what you get when you are knocked out in each of those rounds.
