Aberdeen won a league title and a European trophy with a keeper that rarely moved off his line. They just used guys like McLeish and Rougvie to deal with high balls.

The correlation between American owners and high turnover of managers is strong. Same goings-on at Hibs in recent times.

Shields beat his man when he set up the goal at Aberdeen. The biggest issue with him, however, is that we have players in the team that want to launch in high balls to him instead of playing it on the deck behind the defence where he can run on to them. He's much faster than most Premiership defenders.

We don't normally get a live stream of league cup games. From memory, the only exception is if we happen to be one of the live games. I suppose it's because we use the TV company's live feeds and if they don't have cameras at the game then neither do we.

I think the reason they were on the bench was due to Jack Ross trying to shake up the team after they lost 14 goals to 1 in the previous three games. Didn't quite work out.

Maguire is a completely different kind of player to Campbell, so if the expectation was he could replace him, then disappointment was inevitable. As I've said before, the reason we have an academy is so we can produce a quality of player we couldn't afford to buy. Turnbull and Campbell are those types of player.

If Penney starts I don't expect S'OD to be dropped.

Better with the megaphone, certainly. I'd be quite happy to see Bevis in the centre of that defence.

I thought that was McKinstry

Cast your plastic votes for the artificial man of the match...

Amazing what we can do when we don't launch it over our ball players in midfield.

Lovely move. Great finish.

If we're lucky.

Still don't get it...

And if we spent that money and still didn't get past Sligo, then what? As well as smashing our salary structure and setting up a precedent where any new player would also want £4k a week (not to mention existing players demanding an immediate raise), we'd be stuck with a wage bill that was too big for an entire season and be dependent on qualification again this season in an effort to cope with it. If we played Sligo this weekend, do you think we'd win over two legs? If so, then it's not the personnel that was the problem, it was the coaching.

Looking a at this BBC article, Penney is a left footer that can play full back or wing back.

If anyone should have been revealed on a tractor it's this guy.

If it was easy to bring in strikers every club would have a couple of great strikers.

Long before Andy Cameron. And probably before Chic Murray too, although he certainly made it famous.

We have 8 midfielders on our books already. I hope we're more focused on a left back and/or a KVV backup.

The one thing that's certain is that there is more chance Snodgrass will join our club if we make him an offer than there is if we don't make him an offer.

If he takes an extra week to decide from multiple options and then chooses us you could equally argue that means he is even more committed.

Very true. Although I wouldn't put it past Killie to bring out the industrial fans to dry it out.

Right now that's every team bar Celtic.

Killie have been underwhelming so far this season. Let's keep it that way.
