What do they call him there? "The Lithuanian Guy Who's Played in England Then Went to Poland but is in Scotland Now"?

From the Evening Times:

Are we going to start using his actual name soon? Or at least, Deimi?

Does he play on the left?

Good to hear. Not going to get too excited yet, though, as Dom Thomas and Craig Moore were star men for the 20s too. I suspect this guy will be better though, given his international pedigree.

Except, as someone pointed out, Bowman's wasn't a goal scoring opportunity because he was taken out after he shot (and missed), while Dunne was deemed to have tackled the ICT guy before he shot.

All league games are winnable. None of them are "should win".

Sounds like we did some good business moving Heneghan on for a tidy sum and bringing in a great replacement.

The decent transfer window, wee cup run and decent start to the season feel that bit sweeter as a part owner of the club. Despite my complaints about a few aspects of the operations, it's been great to be a part of it overall. If anyone is on the fence about joining, I can highly recommend it.

Robinson says in his post match that Dunne had the flu and probably shouldn't have started him.

Was he just knackered? It's seems like a strange one.

Nice to have options on the bench again when players are underperforming.

Billy Davis demonstrates, in one interview, why he has been unemployable as a manager for the past 3 years. Conspiracy, conspiracy, conspiracy, they're beneath me, conspiracy, conspiracy, I'm brilliant.

I agree with Milo it was best for both parties for Thomas to move on. It seems that Robinson wanted him to stay, but didn't think he was ready for the first team. Thomas disagreed and moved away to get first team action (which he is getting). So we go with second best option of a tasty sell-on clause. I certainly have no axe to grind with him. Seems like he has the talent, but not quite the right attitude to succeed. Plenty of players have gone through the same thing - some turn it around, some end up driving cabs. Much more interested in the guys who want to play for us.

It's not outwith the realms of possibility that Thomas and Tait are mates and he was just having a laugh. Guys that played with each other sometimes do that. I'll give Thomas the benefit of the doubt over The Sun every day of the week.

Erwin should have stayed for us, not himself, after all the support we gave him over his very long term injuries. When he eventually got fit, he played a few months then waved goodbye. A wee bit of loyalty after all we showed him would have been appreciated. Not that I'd jeer him for it, just didn't sit well with me.

I remember that kind of structure being rumoured under McLean. I also remember Jimmy Sanderson going mental on Radio Clyde when he heard that a McLean team was on a bigger bonus for beating Killie (a relegation rival at the time) than they were for beating the OF.

I know. It's almost like being a professional footballer is like having a job where people ask for references.

I don't know what our bonus scheme was at that time, but we have had spells where the basic wage was relatively low, but with incentives for appearances, goals, wins etc. However, when Skippy moved to us initially, his career was on the slide and was looking to get back on track. So I imagine he was just happy to get a game at that point.

So you're not going to post anything else on here until the end of the season?

Not that I'm too worried about the revamped benefits package, but after the initial announcement I never heard about it again. I was certainly never contacted. I think the general drive to raise funds for the "double your money" offer has actually been pretty good. I think now the new season is up and running and we can see the direction the club is moving, even more people may be encouraged to donate or bump up their pledge.

The other way to look at it is 1.56 million is all it took to save our club. When you look at the money thrown around in football, it's peanuts - but could have put us under. Slightly more than half a Marv.

We definitely sold Anier at the right time. Didn't hate him, but was never convinced. Decent, but not great.

It's never surprising if an oppostion striker scores a goal, regardless of their prior employers. As long as we keep up the tempo and commitment we showed in the last game I think we should have enough to win by a goal or two. I don't see how it will undo the good work from the Hearts game if we lose though - unless they take the 3pts back off us.

They'll still hit them hard, though, because that's the way they play the game.
