That's quite a climb down from your original statements. Suggesting that anyone not playing football for any reason other than injury is a wage thief is just ludicrous. Where would we be without fringe players who train hard and keep themselves fit so that they are ready whenever the players in their position are injured / sold /suspended? By your thinking, having a sub keeper who can be at the club for 2-3 years without ever playing (through no fault of his own) is stealing a wage.

We've enough cover at centre half now so I'd like to see Butcher in that centre mid role (when fit).

That's a thing of beauty! Genuinely conflicted as to which one I should buy now.

You say that but it seems like he would like to play elsewhere and has missed the whole of pre-season training. I am a fan of Casey but this is not an ideal scenario if he does sign on for us.

1) About £730,000 apparently. 2) Match abandoned.

Ross McIver scored against us today.

Daily Record are claiming that Bohemians in Ireland have offered Dan Casey a sizeable deal. If Bohemians can offer better terms than us then we're in serious trouble.

Well they're not training with us so they're not in our plans.

Sixth would be an improvement on last season though. There's no quick fix for our squad and SK will need a couple of years to move players on and make improvements.

Do we have any friendlies arranged in Scotland?

I think McGinley, like O'Donnell, will fare much better in a back five. Pretty sure he only played as a traditional left back before his injury but looked quite good in advanced areas.

Spittal 2, Ferrie 2, Slattery 1 & Tierney 1.

Esteban 'The Goal Machine' Casagolda managed one start. Jake Taylor was the MFC hide and seek champion of 2015. Josh Morris will need to be added to that video in a couple of years for sure. Truly forgettable.

Must be missing something. Was he found not guilty? He surely has the right to carry on with his career.

Goal from yesterday: Good to see some of our boys heavily involved - Miller, Ross?, Ferrie? Twitter.pdf

Sure it wasn't Willy Sticker?

Not on twitter but if you google MFC twitter it'll bring up the most recent updates.

1-0 up at halftime, Efford crossed for an own goal against the club whose chairman is named Willy Sticker. Sadly not on MFC TV. Trialist on up front for the second half.

He's only there out of courtesy. Rest in Peace.

Beat me to it, was thinking along those lines.

If memory serves, we've only ever had one fully grey kit - The 'Higdon' - and it was pretty nice.

Yep, agree. Don't know what went on before but his work rate was excellent after the Kettle was on the boil.

Hadn't realised Paton was only 25 so could be a decent signing. Be good to see how he fares when fully fit.

Any development fee will be due to Hibs. Best we can hope for is a sell-on clause.

Not really. They'll be announcing Josh Morris soon to keep them happy.
