Here's his highlight reel from his Oldham spell. Looks like he has a wee touch of gallus about him - which is always good.

I agree we had good all round contributions for goal scoring last season. I hope that continues, but a more clinical striker would help reduce the number of games where we end up hanging on. It's not good for my old nerves.

Maybe Chris Long deciding to re-sign after it looked like it he was moving on.

Just hoping at least one of strikers can have a 10+ goals season this time around.

Busted. I'm such a looser.

Semicolon? Now your just showing off!

And I don't think they will pay £20 to watch a game at that particular ground where you get more entertainment stuck in traffic driving to Livingston. But time will tell.

If his defence is "it wasn't that hot" he needs another lawyer.

The Championship transfer window only opened yesterday.

There's probably more to it than that as Accies and Livi didn't even have a stream they could offer to their own fans last season. It's new for 20/2021. Maybe a rights thing (complicated by the fact that clubs were streaming the BBC feed, but with their own commentators). Anyway, if that's the case again this season, Livi charging £20 makes even less sense as I doubt many fans will spring for that. I'll be happy enough to get my home games and any away game is a bonus.

This is what I'm not sure about. Last season, clubs like Accies, Livi and St Mirren didn't offer streams of their home games to MFC TV subscribers. (Accies and Livi didn't have a service and St Mirren made you pay for their games separately). Because this is a new and short term deal to allow access during closed-door games, it's still not clear (at least to me) if these same clubs will become part of the regular "streaming package" (like MFC, Rangers and Celtic TV) or if they are able to opt out like last season and force 'away' fans to buy a ticket for that match.

Did we not have another game scheduled for today? I thought I heard chat about a Tuesday game, but haven't really been keeping up since the reshuffle that brought Accies into the mix at the weekend.

Sky don't broadcast Scottish games overseas, so there are normally different arrangements - especially for OF games.

I've got enough ad and script blockers to stop then getting any revenue from me.

Sticking it to the single people again.

They'll be able to show it to paying overseas fans I think. Although I'm still unclear about about this specific deal.

Livi are obviously just hoping to grab OF fans' money when they play them to make up for any lack of fans in their other games. If it's not covered by my regular overseas sub they certainly won't be getting any money from me.

Aye. Season ticket holders are, in effect, getting streaming of home games for free. That's assuming they can attend all the home games on their ticket once the crowds are back.

Which makes perfect sense. With more teams like Accies and Livi offering streaming this season I wonder if their away games will be included in the overseas MFC TV subs, or if they will also be PPV only on a per match basis.

I honestly wouldn't pay a quid to watch any game played on that plastic at Livi - I honestly can't remember ever seeing a good to game to watch on there from any opposition. I'm not even sure I'll watch it if it's covered by my overseas sub this season.

When I played full back I was taught never to cross the half way line. Although that might have been because I wasn't very good.

And we continue to score goals by making lots of deliveries from wide areas. Which suggests to me that, in the modern game, that is an are that is difficult to defend. When Tait was at his peak with us he had the most assists in the Premiership. If you were to put a list together of the world's best full backs right now, not many of them would be on there for their defensive skills. Just look at Liverpool - they have 2 full backs that bomb up and down the wings, but can be questionable when put under a bit of defensive pressure. They countered that by paying about £150 million for Van Dijk and Allison to deal with the crosses that come in, but I doubt most teams can afford that. It's something that has made me scratch my head for a number of years now, but it seems to be a key part of football these days.

It's not taking the flack that's the issue, it's the commercial side of the business where the game needs to be promoted and the sponsors need to be enticed. Doncaster was the one who instead of bigging up our game - which is his job - kept saying we were lucky to get what we had because our game wasn't very good. Barry Hearn nailed it 6 years ago, and we've done nothing about it since then. The game needs someone like him to be promoting and expanding.

The nuances of the accuracy of current testing methods combined with the evolving understanding of the virus itself are a highly complex topic that is taxing the minds of many brilliant statisticians and virologists. So well done for figuring out so quickly that 7 false positives must be statistically significant.

Turns out the St Mirren situation isn't as bad as first though. From The Herald:
