Ya Bezzer!

I don't think anyone did anything wrong in regards to the contract per se, I can see both points of view, but our statement seems a bit petty especially when it's going on about being 'disheartened' and 'accusations'. I don't think we should be going public on this at all but if we are the club should be above emotional language in press releases. Also what do other players think when they see a history of a former colleagues contract negotiations plastered all over the press? Probably aren't that impressed. I wouldn't be.

Lamie is a very Robinson style signing. Big, athletic, maybe not the best technically. Can play left back or centre half. Remind you of anyone?

Glad Maguire has been given a new contract but there's no point in it if he doesn't get game time. Gillespie has been an excellent custodian. Good luck to him. Wouldn't surprise me if Mark O'Hara ended up wearing our shirt again. As for bringing players in, I think we should be cautious when spending money. Although the signs are going in the right direction with Covid I've read that things being back to normal by October is 'unlikely' and by then there might well be a resurgence as we go into winter months. I'd urge financial prudence. The stability of the club has to be put before performance next season as Covid will surely be the biggest test of the club since administration. As it stands I'm unlikely to be a season ticket next season but as always things are fluid.

Shocking news. So sad.

Not been paid in months and I strongly suspect if there is any football there won't be fans there, at least in 2020. So right now it's looking like I won't be getting one. It's a tricky situation, I know the club needs the money but I don't have any. It's as simple as that. And in terms of Scottish football governance I'd only expect more confusion, muddle, in fighting and agenda driven decision making. Honestly, I think Scottish football doesn't even know how much trouble it's in yet. It will dawn on them in the coming months.

Looks great so far. Probably the most interesting thing going on in Scottish football right now! People who say things are 'sad' are a real bugbear of mine. It's usually because they have no skills or interests themselves and therefore contribute fuck all. I'm not very handy but I'm learning Punjabi and have a MS Paint masterpiece on the go.

Campbell by a mile.

We started terrible, we'd already made a couple of bad mistakes before Ross County scored in 2 minutes. And we looked shapeless until we got a break with the ball falling to O'Hara for the equaliser. After that you could see the team fill with confidence and Campbell and O'Hara were excellent and dominated the midfield. Campbell in particular was fantastic, tonight must be up there as one of his best performances. Tonight showed who we should be building the team around. Watt did well when he came on as well.

If your boss is screaming at you ever day it effects you. If your boss wants you to do something and you have a different idea it effects you. If things aren't going well and you don't feel your manager is supporting you properly it effects you. There loads of different things that can effect you in a working relationship. I'm not claiming to know anything, but my instinct is that something is going on behind the scenes. Too many players have gone to shit at the same time over a sustained period for this just to be inconsistency or lack of confidence. Players just don't look interested and as others have said don't even look match fit.

Disagree on formation. In terms of goalscorers Rangers have 17 league goalscorers and Aberdeen have 13 league goalscorers, the same number we do. Agree on Robinson's forward signings. Looking right down the league there are loads of strikers I'd take, the likes of Ogboe, Templeton, Obika and Boyce are better than we have. It's a fundamental failing on the managers part that virtually every club in the league has better striking options than we do.

You could have Dunne at left back. I'm not a fan of Dunne but I'd prefer him in the side and 4 at the back than 3 at the back. At right back you have a choice of Tait, Grimshaw and Donnelly. At centre back you have Gallagher and one of Hartley, Mugabi and Donnelly. I'd have Maguire in because I think he is a good player and deserves a chance and have him play with Campbell in the middle and have O'Hara on the right and Aarons on the left. Then I'd have Watt and Long playing up front as traditional strikers. To me that's as solid as we get right now.

Mentioned that previously and you could also throw Aberdeen in there too who play 4-3-3 sometimes. I think the problems are bigger than one thing so its not a case of changing formation and everything will be fine again, last night proved that, but I do think if you play the same formation week in, week out against teams 3, 4, 5 times a season you are going to get found out and that highlights one of Robinson's biggest flaws - his lack of a plan B. You can see it in us as regards formation and you can see it in the players he's brought to the club. He doesn't have the foresight or vision to see that we might need to change things until we are deep in a hole. His changes have come from desperation not from cool judgement. I do think the players have to have a look at themselves. Tait saying after the match "They wanted it more" really irked me. Robinson also mentioned that he'd screamed at the players plenty times but would have to start trying to build confidence. I just don't think it's a happy camp right now and that our plunge in form, the word 'drop' doesn't cover it, since Robinson's arrest went public can't just be dismissed as a coincidence.

Just had a look. In our last 39 league matches were we started with 3 centre halves we've only won 9 of them. That's a 23% win ratio. What ever the answer is to our current problems we need to ditch 3 at the back pronto.

When we play 3 at the back we mostly stink as tonight proved.

We are still in the race for 3rd because every one else is as bad as we are. Look at Aberdeen's form if you don't believe me. We need to arrest this run very soon though.

Aarons won the penalty and looked like the only guy trying.

The really worrying thing is 1 goal in open play in the last 6 league matches. Never looked like scoring tonight if it hadn't been for the penalty.

Dismal performance that was worse than the Cup match. We were the 'better' team and 'dominated' the first half but I've put commas round those words because while they are true it's also misleading. Our domination was more down to St Mirren being completely pish and being unable to clear their lines. We must have had about 10 corners and got nothing off any of them and if it hadn't been for the penalty this would have been another game we failed to score in. I don't remember Hladky having a serious save to make in the whole match while at the other end St Mirren looked dangerous on the odd occasion they got forward due to the huge amounts of space down our side, especially on Tait's flank. Second half started as it meant to go on, giving away a stupidly bad goal. We looked absolutely bereft in every area of the field. Defence was terrible, midfield hopeless and up front there was absolutely nothing. Aaron was far from perfect tonight but he looked like the only player that has even a hint of the ability you should need to be playing at this level. Overall, I'm watching that performance and those players and it's very hard to see when the next goal is coming, never mind the next win.

6 minutes to go and Fir Park is empty.

Just stuck £20 on us on the basis that we won't go 6 home games without a win.....

Today's stat. LEAGUE GOALS SINCE WINTER BREAK Motherwell - 2 Aaron Taylor-Sinclair - 3 St Mirren have a lot of injuries in defence and have brought in McCarthy and Famewo in at centre back and their good defensive record has disappeared. Might be a coincidence but I don't think it is. We should be going out and trying to get some goals tomorrow.

I booked a long weekend on the basis that we weren't at home that weekend. So the Ross County fans can get their merry little asses down here on Wednesday.

Cathedral City please.

FT Aberdeen 1-2 Ross County

Everyone knows you don't kick the ball away. Stupid regardless of any refereeing inconsistencies.
