That sounds like good news. Maybe a complete overhaul of the team was required and a new era beckons. Good to see Eddie Wolecki Black back in football.

We should play a straightforward, simple 4-4-2, with MacDonald and Moult playing together and close to each other. Ainsworth wide right and Cadden in the middle.

Yes, but if the Daily Record reported a six figure offer from Rangers Id be very sceptical. In reality that would probably mean £100,000 in staged payments including a whole list of adons. Any rejection would upset a large part of our support, which is exactly what the story would be designed to do. Currently hes suffering from a lack of experience beside him.

Two good results on the trot now that indicate the team may be settling into the higher division. Its also significant that they came after the previous manager left. Maybe the change was a catalyst for improvement. Whatever the reason lest hope it continues. Also encouraging that we may be looking to add to the squad.

I see we play Hearts at home today. Hopefully Greg Rodgers will steady things.

Seconded.

We're poor with Keith Lasley and poor without him. In any event he's suspended next Saturday. Incidentally what was today's line up? Was it 4-4-1-1 or 5-3-1-1 or something similar? I see Inverness managed a morale boosting 3-0 home defeat today.

I don't know much about our Ladies team but clearly something hasn't been right behind the scenes. Promotion was always going to mean a challenge in facing higher standards but there do seem to have been off the field issues, whatever they were. Maybe this will allow the team to regroup and move forward?

Doesn't sound as though things are going too well this season so far. I know its a step up for the team but are we still short up front or have we more more new players to bring in?

That doesn't sound at all good.

Well spotted. It could well have been.

That was always going to happen with our line up as he was our only real outball apart from hoofing the ball up to Ainsworth and Moult until Lucas and Pearson came on.

Thanks for the updates Seasonal. Keep them coming. Any new signings in the pipeline?

Amy Bulloch has now re-signed and our Ladies team has also signed Christie Kerr.

A great result so congratulations to our Ladies team, players and management. They really have done well. Hopefully the club will acknowledge their fantastic achievement. Onwards and upwards. No doubt the squad will require strengthening but there's time for that. Now is the time for celebration!

Thanks, as always for the update. Our ladies team has done very well and this reflects well on the club. It does seem a very poor show from the powers that be no public explanation has been given for the points deduction.

Certainly a relevant factor but we need to look at a wider context. Firstly if we restrict ourselves to football have SPL/Scottish Premiership prices risen by more than comparable prices in lower leagues? How do they compare to English prices? In a still wider perspective how do these price rises relate to say the cost of public transport or the price of concert tickets or the cost of musical entertainment or of Virgin/Sky TV prices? I have no figures to back it up but anecdotal evidence suggests that the cost of hiring a bus for away games has rocketed in recent years and this is certainly a factor in diminishing away attendances.

Congratulations to our Ladies team. A great achievement and I hope the club recognises this.

Thanks for the comprehensive report. Things have gone very quiet off the field and the team deserves more recognition from the club. Hopefully they'll rap things up next weekend and if there's advance publicity and information it may encourage fans to go along.

A thumping 6-0 away win for our ladies side yesterday which keeps them well clear at the top of the league? The Development side also won making it a fine double.

A good result for our ladies side yesterday beating second placed Celtic Academy 6-2. Top, of the league!

Has there been much change in personnel since last season or is the squad basically the same?

Our ladies team has started off the new season by winning all league games so far and are now sitting top of the league. They're not winning games as easily as last season but they are winning them. Promotion for the second year running?

Another win for the Ladies team today. Quite a game. We took a 3-1 lead then lost 2 goals to make it 3-3 and then scored a very late winner. So far so good this season.

The Ladies team kicked off their league campaign today with a 3-2 win against Celtic Ladies development side. Well done girls that tops off a great weekend for the club with the first team winning a crucial derby game and the Under 20s reaching the Youth Cup Final after defeating Ross County 3-0.
