Mad Dog

https://guernseyliteraryfestival.com/speakers/pat-nevin So one of the guest speakers is Pat Nevin and I'm thinking of going. Not because I'm interested in his book as it's not the sort of thing that I normally read but just to listen to him talk about his life. Thinking of the opportunity to ask questions at the end, what would any of you like to ask him if you could?

Thing is he's been right more often than not and his predictions have been realistic rather than doom and gloom.

Nice idea but just watch the already meagre sponsorship and TV money diminish further.

Has he passed his driving test yet?

Absolutely agree with this. The only player that I thought got pass marks last night was Jamie Brandon but we really don't need to go bargain basement shopping at a doomed club.

He may actually want to stay. He's settled, happy, just had a kid, so the improved terms that will be on offer might be enough for him.

Nearly gave it to Mugabi as he was solid all night but gave it to Nicholson as he was busy in the midfield and scored a vital goal too.

Mibbe but he can't cross with either foot though.

Looks like he still needs his Ma to dress him as his shorts are on backwards.

That'll be O'Donnell that can't cross and Nicholson that's just shite who have drawn us level.

Vale on for Zdravkovski.

Yeah, I know, that's why I said on paper. Especially thinking back to pre-season when the much-maligned Bair was signed along with an unknown Wilkinson and an injury-prone Obika. It really looked like we would struggle for goals and that County would have that edge over us. Fortunately it hasn't worked out that way so far.

And yet looking at Ross County's front three of White, Brophy and Murray with Dhanda behind them, I think that on paper that's arguably a better attacking lineup than what we have.

You must know exactly how he feels then.

Not just because of the damage, generally speaking I mean. Just off the top of my head if the club were allowed to charge uglies fans an extra fiver per lice-ridden head then that would be £22,500 more in gate receipts. The McLean Stand holds 4,500 I think? Other away fans can pay the same as the home fans as there are significantly less of them, they have further to travel and they're slightly less odious so we'd want to encourage them to come to Fir Park.

Is there any reason - legally or otherwise - why the club can't charge away supporters more than home supporters? Something the club should consider for those smelly bastards and the teddy bears too.

We really need to win but, more than that, we really can't afford to lose. Playing on carpet is challenging at the best of times but with points so important for both teams that no-one is going to want to risk making a mistake. Could be a cagey, defensive game so 1-1 is a fair prediction. I'm going for 2-1 'Well though.

Yet there are folk complaining that he was subbed. I agree that this wasn't his best game and that Celtic had a lot of crosses in from that side.

Actually, based on his contract extension he has a job until May 2025.

No chance, Mugabi and McGinn were covering.

Looks as though the Great Unwashed are blocking up the stairways on the away end again. Thought that issue had been addressed?

Thorough research carried out by the BBC again. They also stated that Shaw was out but he's in the bench too.

Spittal, Butcher and Halliday all missing today through injury.

Not at the moment. It's simply gauging opinion on whether or not we would be open to the idea of outside investment which would result in The Well Society holding less than 50% of shares in MFC. Do doubt there will be further options once a preferred bidder has been decided upon and more details of the investment can be made official.

SK's mandate was also to cut costs by reducing the size of the first team squad. There are a lot of factors at play here but what SK has achieved with such a small squad is remarkable. There is also no lack of fight within the squad, even when results haven't gone their way they have battled for 90+ minutes for every single point picked up along the way. How many teams sack their manager after relegation? Do you have those statistics to hand?
