My local lodge are drafting up a letter of thanks as we speak... The club are bang on the money here & focusing on the community initiative also - given we are the host district for the BIG parade in the town next Saturday.

Piffle. That's the sash my father wore! Like 'em. A lot.

Jack leitch not back in the fold?

^^THIS^^

Wind yer neck in... hardly berating & for the record nobody mentioned knowing more about football. Agree if he was good enough he would still be at Motherwell. You stated a need for a 3 man midfield, wasnt quite getting that & offered a differing opinion. Simples. And I'm well aware there is a difference between pace and pace of the game, hence, his engine was good enough to motor in the holding role no?

Play football much? Agree, not sad to see him go either, but, a 3 man midfield needed? Tosh. Had all the attributes to have been the holding midfielder, pace isn't a necessity by the way... instead of employing 2 box to box centres like we have done, think Carswell could have been the perfect foil to sit in the hole and protect the defence.

I'm sure the validity of being our kit being 'bespoke' was done to death around that time. You did say in your own words 'As with any design it usually ends up slightly different from the initial concept'.

Not strictly true, but, if it massages an/or ego(s) - batter in. It was ditched along with any other quirks the grand design featured to suit a template already in production for St Johnstone & ready for sale in a Perth distribution warehouse operated by the kit manaufacturer. That information was courtesy of a Xara representative who is still employed in the rag trade. Hardly exclusive, it did work well as our amateur teams' kit for a few seasons & may well still be tucked away in good condition.

Hope Steve Jennings is on the radar.

McGarry jetting in for signing talks. Shit you not...

Not looking to play Scottish outfits are they?

Bit of a gutter? Doubt we were even in the market, if we were, we've dodged a bullet methinks.

Well, prepare not to be pleased...

Not been up there for a while have they?

That's the spirit.

Tough start, none too kind over the festive season and a tough run in to boot. Then we are at the mercy of the braodcast partners... I doft my cap to you all.

Beer by the supermarket crate load bound for Langezwaag later on in the day...

There are no believers in this world: There are only the make believers and the non-believers. Profound thought for the day.

Whatever gave you that idea?

As expected, samples didn't feature sponsor logos. Watch out for the away kit... a return to a personal fave having swapped a similar one some time ago.

Would be even better if there was no sponsor But, when they've approached others to have their business on the reverse...

All fine and dandy, hope the kit manufacturer gets the club emblem correct this season with poor finishing visible on last seasons efforts.

Yes, it'll depend on those offered contracts, but, 10 new faces? Nothing seen or heard from inside the club that suggest this will be the case. I'd be highly surprised.

Club are moving forward on most fronts... We've already seen the best of him.

Ah! The uber-fan debate! No wonder? Plenty of change since I last commented on the subject... Replacing Kenny Black which has ensured a new broom sweeps clean outlook, amongst other things behind the scenes which bode well for the future. The performance level & end result in the recent play off has given him a platform to build on, thus, buying him some time for me. He's got the backing of those most influential at the club, needs to practise what he preaches. Let's just see how he goes without the need to castigate fellow fans who show temerity in having a different opinion?
