Gordon is still injured and, by his own admission, has no idea when (or even if) he'll be fit again.

Only if we don't sing anyone else (which is unlikely). McCall's philosophy has been very attack minded; I don't see why he'd want to change that approach.

That's all very well on the blackboard. However, when Higgy holds up the ball and his support is 30 yards off him, 4-5-1 is not working.

We struggled with 4-5-1 leaving Higgy isolated up top. It definitely wasn't just 4-3-3 in defence.

If we keep Higgy, 4-5-1 is not a good option.

25 quid sent. Thanks, as always, for running this again. Hope we can beat last year's total.

With one or two exceptions, players (and managers) we are linked with in the media bear little relation to players we end up signing. Most of our business takes place under the radar. We have also done a number of decent deals with free agents after the window closes.

Aye, I guessed that would be the reason. I suppose we wouldn't sell enough to justify the effort involved. I'll just have to keep an eye out for an original.

I don't buy shirts these days, but I'd be first in line for one of the old Adidas efforts. To hell with the copyright issues!

First 2 players that spring to mind every time I see that kit are Willie Irvine and Brian McLaughlin.

I always liked the old 80s adidas effort (which didn't have a band or hoop) - but don't like the sleeves on this one. Without the band on the sleeves, I think it's a cracker.

Gutted Derek "Ruby" Murray didn't make the cut. Was always impressed with his ability to consistently stand off his man just far enough that he looked like he was marking him, but too far away to actually tackle him.

That's excellent news. Will likely make me tune in now too.

Our valuation won't though, so it doesn't matter.

Is it true that if you look up "non sequitur" in wikipedia there is just a listing of your posts?

No need to make up statistics, even on here. 7 goals in 21 games before he got injured in Feb.

I wasn't in Nancy, so wasn't able to savour the pre-match atmosphere or the pre-match booze. So bearing that in mind, I have to say that the team's performance that day was very poor and big let down after the build up. McGhee set up a very strange formation (especially as we had a team that was built to attack), and the players struggled to string 2 passes together. I don't even think we managed a shot. I have enjoyed plenty of big time occasions with the club, and am not taking a pop at any one. It was a great achievement and an exciting time. As an anti-climax though, it ranks up beside the CIS Cup Final for me. Definitely a case of "you had to be there".

Not a great analogy, even for this place. All of those items listed are designed with obsolescence in mind. It's actually OK to want to hold on to the traditions and identity of a football club, even thought it's becoming more and more difficult. (And yes, I do realise the badge being updated is recent). If we follow the above logic, then Sevco is still Rangers as all they have done is tweak a few business structures on the back end.

We turned down bids for Ojamaa, Law and Hutchinson last season, so we don't just sell at the drop of a hat.

That's another reason I would want all 400k in the bank up front rather than any sketchy future add-ons.

The simplest (although perhaps least favourable) would be to offer no other benefits other than voting rights in the Society. Ultimately, I'd prefer we focused on making communications as transparent and accessible as possible for locals and exiles alike.

If we are offered 400k then let him go (as long as McCall is free to spend the cash). 175k plus "add-ons" is much riskier. If they have 400k to spend, let them give it to us up front.
