I'll say one thing CB seems to know everybody in football and appears to have an amusing story/tale to tell on everybody. He deserves a show of his own

Briefly mentioned Reynolds and Europe although I was expecting a bit more about us as well to be honest. France 1998 was the main topic of discussion as (obviously) the recent shows have been World Cup based.

I'll breathe easier when Jack Ross has signed for a club

After his belting story at the Sponsor's Night about Archie Knox playing wheelchair fitba and losing the tattie, can you try and squeeze some more about his 'colleague' out of him..........that are broadcastable obviously.

Agreed. A winger and striker now and I think we will have a pretty good squad.

To be fair this is nothing new. Fraser did the exact same thing a good few times after Ruddy arrived. Boom. Tish! Seriously, best of luck to him in South Africa if that is where he ends up going.

Craig Brown giveth, Craig Brown taketh away. Welcome aboard Randy.

From League One to the SPL back to League One Nah, it is a good move for him. Good length of contract and will no doubt be on decent wages. Should be in the Championship soon as well. Their manager was sitting near me during the 6-6 game so he was obviously being watched for a wee while. I'd rather have Hateley than Coke though.

Weren't the rumours that Randolph was being signed today?

Cheers guys. July 9th is the deadline for announcing our European squad then. I take it this is the first leg only?

Where did you hear this mate?

Hopefully sorted by Friday.

I haven't seen Brown pressed on the Randolph rumour. Did this happen on STV? Regardless though he is quoted on the official site as saying that we have in our budget enough for a goalkeeper and a striker so if it isn't Randolph it will be someone else. Might want to play it down as he won't want to alert other SPL teams to his availability or answer 'awkward' questions about Fraser's abilities and his opinion on them.

I don't think we are as short or as bad as some people think. Regardless of the Europa League THE most important thing is SPL placings and domestic cup runs. We lost Ruddy but look like we will be signing Darren Randolph. Fraser looks like he is out of the door but we have signed Hollis as back up. O'Brien is gone and admittedly we need to replace him. It is now looking though like the club is looking to Humphrey to step up and take his place. Wasn't overly impressed last year but willing to give him a chance. Coke is gone but with a good few under 19s getting promoted to the first team I'm hoping at least one steps up to push for a regular place in the team. Lasley, Jennings, Forbes, Hateley also in midfield with the potential of the latter and Saunders filling in at RB. Still have pretty reliable experienced players like Craigan and Hammell at the back. Brown has said we will sign a striker. We still have decent forwards in Sutton and Murphy and I hope to see a wee bit more from McHugh this year. If Reynolds does go (and although I rate him I hope he does) we have the lad Hutchinson who, if stays clear of injury, has great potential......plus a bit of cash to reinvest in the squad in either securing our own players or putting to loan deals. We could be in a far worse position i.e. this time last year or Killie right now.

I thought he was released at the end of last season.

Does the club usually acknowledge these things through Twitter or is this a good sign?

Did you catch his name mate?

That would be good! Within the week I trust?

2-1 home win against KR on Saturday sees them move up to 2nd in their league.

That certainly doesn't sound like a typical footballer's day. Double sessions in the first week perhaps?

As mentioned in thid thread Brown has set a deadline of June 30th (as someone has said when his contract possibly runs out) to accept the offer on the table. If he isn't here by then and we have "other irons in the fire" as Brown has said then we (the club) should draw a line under it and move on.

Brazilian, paid early so money sent.

Name please?

You are right in a sense. Think he played with us in Cypus in an U19 tournament right enough. Not sure he has been in Scotland very long.
