What I don't forget about Malcolm is how some posters were trying to convince us what a fine footballer he was when we signed him.

As I understand it (and I'm no doubt out of touch with the UK financial laws these days), a "share subscription" (the term used in the email) is a right to buy shares at a specified future date or during specified periods at a predetermined price - it's not the actual purchase of shares. So it's possible, for example, that the club was able to secure funds on the 150k subscription without any purchase of shares having taken place yet. I agree we need more details, but let's focus on the facts rather than speculation.

If wikipedia is correct, then aye, he made his debut against Accies in May 2009 - about 4 weeks before McGhee made his big move up the ladder. EDIT: and was signed in 2007.

Lee Miller.

It's the board that deals with the out of contract players - McCall just tells them who he wants to stay. Seeing as he said he already knew who was likely to leave, and that he has been inundated with offers from agents, I'm sure he has plenty of options in mind.

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".
