I don't agree with the sentiment that we're shoehorning Miller into the team, or that we will somehow be a better team if we lose one of the best midfielders in the league. He has been excellent since day one, with less dips in form compared to the average player. Midfielders tend to get a raw deal from fans in general, unless they're hacking folk or scoring goals. Miller's delivery from set pieces will be sorely missed, and his football IQ as a defensive mid is way too high for someone his age. I think I saw something about him making the most interceptions at some point. I don't think we can expect much from slattery this season, as well as callachan, and Paton has been unable to string a good run of games together, on top of halliday being able to put in 60 mins max each week. I'm glad we're rumored to bring in at least one midfielder, but we might need a couple more if Miller goes, unless the crocked players come good.

Newell is a regular for hibs, there's no chance of us signing him. Think sibbald is injured too. Also, I don't think we need to recreate 1980s WWE to improve our midfield defensively.
-
If he's stalling on St J, I'd doubt that we could meet his demands. Also, he's not that good.

I like a puzzle. Are they currently unattached?

The striker hit it hard and low from close range, and placed it exactly where you're told to. I'd say any criticism of Ox in this case is harsh. We probably should have been more cynical in the build up and too out the sub that made the initial run, but then we wouldn't have had the Ebiye scenes. Are we better organized at set pieces in both boxes this season, or are we purely benefitting from better delivery at one end, and Liam Gordon at the other?

Memphis. We have a bass pro shop in a pyramid, and crime.

This is a nice summary of that deal https://youtu.be/RUVIAHGMgOI?si=DSKsUKVZOzFwtsdj

Agreed. I joined one of the workstreams and found that I couldn't commit to the times (my problem, not theirs), would be cool to have a US based thing. I also would like to get on the radio show and see how long it would take Sirius to ban me.

Welcome to the American/living in America contingent of 'well fans. We'll be bigger than the East of Scotland branch soon enough.

Football and politics have been intertwined from pretty much day one, and people should be able to express their views, whether political or otherwise, on social media should they wish. You can choose not to follow the person, or choose not to be triggered by it.

Assuming midweek goes the way it should, its a case of us winning and Dundee losing, not the most convoluted scenario. Its only slightly easier for Hibs because draws come into it, but they are depending on the Dundee game just like we are. The problem is that Aberdeen are soft as shite.
-
Outside of County away and an old firm game or two, we have been in every game, and have shown we have the guts to fight until the final whistle. We have rarely let the heads go down, and have shown we are capable of very good attacking play. All despite a shit run of bad injuries. We also make the mistakes a lower/mid table team makes. We've tended to favor having strength come on from the bench, rather than blow our load on the starting XI, and that's not uncommon these days now that there's 5 subs, and it worked for us again today. We have also stuck to our guns with easing players back in after injuries, such as Miller and SOD today. The first half today was even, with Dundee taking the one chance we gifted them, and us snatching at half chances. We dominated the 2nd half and it looked like our luck wasn't going to be in, then we got the penalty wich is a stonewaller by today's rules (as much as I disagree with them). Gent showed excellent awareness to stick away the rebound, and in the end it could have been 4 or 5 easily.

Hopefully things will be clearer when the Well Society complete their governance work stream, but some folk could do with learning what boards, executives, and shareholders do in general.

It might be some visa/work permit thing, on top of his payoff for St. Johnstone. Also, that site is made up. British teams don't publish their player salaries like the MLS clubs do.

I'd be wary of someone who left Morton and couldn't find another club, so returned to Morton. Maybe he's young and a development fee would have been required, but that doesn't usually stop teams if the player is good. It's the same with Milne at partick, I wonder why no premier club has come in for him. It would be nice though if we signed a couple of permanent full backs.
-
I'm glad he has pulled us through that bad run and proved many of us wrong. I wasn't calling for his head but I wouldn't have complained if we had sacked him. For a club like ours, we can find our success by bringing people in and making them better, and that should include coaches and managers. Unfortunately that means we have to deal with the mistakes. Results shouldn't be the only metric we measure a managers success on, and as someone said above, results and performances need to be taken in context. At no point have I got the impression that the players weren't playing for SK, or that there was unrest in the dressing room, outside of having cage matches in training. There also wasn't that funk that sometimes kicks in (a la livingston) where they just accept losing. This summer is going to be massive. SK has made his mistakes in recruitment, which he has hopefully learned from, and he has now got the squad to a place where he can really put his stamp on it in the next window.

Holy shit, makes me feel even older.
-
Oh, and Aberdeen going from 1-0 to losing is a nice wee cherry on top of the day. They on the phone to SK yet?
-
Many viable options, but I went with Bevis, who just ate up everything that was in his general vicinity. Casey probably deserves it for his crunch in the first half and the goal, but Mugabi kept us right when they were just shelling us.
-
My bad, I took our commentators word for it. I was probably at the 2002ish game as well.
-
What a performance, and a great display of having the biggest cojones. Our bottle and togetherness has never been in question this season. Mugabi was a colossus, but everyone played their part, along with the usual sprinkling of luck, but we totally deserved that. The penalty was a joke, and I expected more shenanigans in injury time, but there must not have been anything close enough for them to var us out of the 3 points. Enjoy your weekend.

Yep, I'm pretty sure he did. Maybe this was just the official announcement of that in the AGM? He was gone for a bit then came back, now he's gone again. We know that we have plans to restructure the board, and add to it, so this shouldn't be a surprise or red flag.

I don't mind being ambitious, but Wrexham is a one off, and there's mileage in their story because a relatively modest investment can lead to them moving up some divisions and thus generating more interest for the tv show. The best we can do is finish 3rd and maybe win a cup, but there's a few clubs with budgets and fan bases that eclipse ours that can't even do that. Shit, we often finish above a couple of them. The level of investment that is transformative enough to really make it interesting isn't going to happen, but I'd be open to someone putting enough in to help us become more sustainable and secure, and improve our academy and facilities. The WS losing a controlling stake isn't a red line for me, but the kind of investment required to make me happy with that is probably out of reach.
