Just a reminder that the keeper everyone was delighted to punt in the summer had a great initial loan spell, won players' player of the year, and we couldn't get him back soon enough. I'm happy Ox has signed, but I'm under no illusions that somehow he'll be immune from a loss of form.

I'm just waiting for the "Well player in freak accident while boarding plane" headlines.

Apart from a few posts on here, an official club announcement, the Well Society newsletter, articles in the newspapers, SK's presser just after it was announced and SK's post-match just after it was announced, they kept it pretty quiet

If you really want to know, I've found the club pretty responsive any time I emailed them a question. Or maybe contact someone from the Well Society.

I see they won, but also see Stama didn't get any minutes.

He mentioned in his interview last week that international recognition was one of the attractions of our club - that certainly didn't take long to pan out!

Just let us know when you've started.

Miller's contracted until summer 2026, so I'm not sure how much further either party would be willing to extend. We have the luxury of ignoring all bids in January and opening a bidding war next summer when he still has a year left.

For me Casey still has more defensive lapses than the rest of the back line. I appreciate his attitude and the problems he can cause in the opponent's box at set pieces, but I wouldn't be averse to trying out other options there.

Aye, still early days, but always better to be 4th than 11th at any stage of the season.

International break after 3 wins on the bounce and 6 wins from 7. I feel like it's going to be quiet in here until the Dundee game.

I see Theo got off the mark today. Although Auxerre lost 3 - 1.

Quality reporting in The Rancid

I agree Ox has been excellent and also agree Kelly was poor last season. There's a bit of revisionism going on though. Our entire defence was a bomb scare for all of last season - not just Kelly - and who knows how Ox would have coped with that. Also easy to forget that during Kelly's original 6 month loan spell he was so good he was was voted players' player of the year, despite only playing half a season. At that point most of us wanted him back, and when he returned the next season he was a top performer. Having said all that, I'm delighted that Ox is performing even better that we could have hoped. We definitely got the best side of that deal.

I'm a big fan of defending your line and/or marking a post.

Haven't given a stupid goal away since... checks watch.... last week. I know what you mean though, we have cut down on last season's defensive debacles.

It's true in most sports, and even more true for goalies, that a good big'un beats a good little'un.

Was looking at all the ex-Well players at St Mirren, and was wondering how Lee Erwin was doing these days after he left Paisley. I remembered he had played in Lebanon for a while, but didn't realise he was back in Finland where he's on a tear with 5 goals in 8 games. In fact, if you look at his record, since he left St Mirren he's played 66 league games and scored 40 goals. Obviously found a level where he excels.

Halliday scores. Throwfi Balmer. Take your pick...

The grand entrance that, regardless of content, rarely ends well Losing the crowd - reel it back in... Re-engage, don't alienate!! and make sure everyone knows you're leaving the ignorant plebs behind. For the record, I actually enjoyed hearing about your ideas, but a C- for interacting with the discussion.

You missed Martin Foyle as head of recruitment.

AT LEAST YOU DIDN'T WRITE IT IN ALL CAPS!!!

Given the outcry over the 5G mast, I confidently predict I won't see a St John Stadium, Pettigrew Park or Philliben Field in my lifetime.

Remember when we were a bit disappointed at losing 1 - 0 to Borussia Dortmund away, and ultimately seeing Paul Lambert join them on a Bosman? At least Celtic won't have to worry about any German interest in their players.
