We missed out on a deal to bring Reo Griffiths on loan from Lyon according to various sources, I'm assuming Roberts was an alternative to him. I can't remember seeing much of him during his time with Inverness apart from that last minute goal that knocked us out of the Scottish Cup.
Pre Hamilton game I was convinced we could push for the top six as we were grinding out results but now I'm looking back down the table. Funny the difference a week makes.
St Mirren playing Hamilton tonight, Accies will obviously want to right some wrongs in regards to that covid issue.
I know it's imperative to get as far away from the bottom as we can but what would the ideal result from this game be? St Mirren win and it gets trickier to push for top six, with it being Accies game in hand they can potentially be just two behind us.
You can see why people ask questions though. In regards to Premiership games (not sure on cup games) he's been an ever present since he joined but when he's rumored to have reached the activation point in his contract he picks up an injury. It will be interesting to see how it all pans out as I'm sure Alan Burrows mentioned something about not believing what you read in the papers in regards to the extension.
I wonder how common these automatic extension clauses are, I always remember Giles Coke having one but the ball was in his court whether he took the extra year or not.
Break the covid guidelines clubs agree to.
Get caught out.
Suspended fine to Killie and points given to us.
Appeal the decision and points taken back off but they now have to foot the fine.
The Killie fans do a fundraiser to pay the fine.
They then fall to a 1-0 defeat in the rearranged fixture many months down the line.
Not going to lie that was massively satisfying for numerous reasons. Struggled to get to grips with that pitch and Killie were the better side for the best part, but in regards to chances we had the best ones and Cole should have buried both of his. Don't think Kelly was really tested until the last kick of the ball. Killie performance was a tad reminiscent of us earlier in the season where we enjoyed plenty of possession before the opposition scored.
Great chance to pick up more points at the weekend.
Don't know what game the United manager was watching as he was saying "In the second half, we have completely and utterly dominated and looked like the only team going to score, apart form a couple of breakaways. "
Cole should have scored with the one on one, Long and Watt also had two tremendous chances.
Nice to enjoy back to back wins. The trio up top done well. Nice to pull Killie and United into the mix. Need to make those games in hand count.
I'm sure the injury will be legit, he'll be desperate to play at the Euros I'm sure.
On another note I take it the East Stand is getting a make over, the seats have been ripped out in a few sections.
I see a few sources stated we knocked back a few significant bids for Allan Campbell.
I'm actually pleased with most of the business we have done this window, I remember a few years back we were struggling and all we brought in was Margaro Gomis, despite losing on his debut we went on to be undefeated in 9 games or so. More of that would do nicely.
I would love to know what the deal is with Sam Foley, he was a regular in the St Mirren side and just dropped right out of the squad, Goodwin suggested it was because the team went on a good run of form but looking at the players appearances he was part on that initially.
Scored against us when he played for Dundee a few years back in that 4-3 game where Turnbull scored in the last minute.
Greg Stewart also getting mentioned now but County also interested.
The joys of social media. It's shocking the amount of abuse some footballers take on it, seem to remember Bowman after the Rangers Semi Final was subjected to many threats.
Jordan was decent enough with his farewell message tbh.
She has since locked down her profile, probably been taking a ton of abuse.
His father however has been getting in on the act, his 117 goals in 296 starts tweet was a favourite tbh.

White's Mrs having a bit of a dig on Twitter about the club. Essentially we never gave him a fair crack of the whip and made him lose his smile something to that effect. Good luck to the guy, he was a tad unfortunate with his goals against Dundee United and Hibs being ruled out but he certainly lacked the quality required for this level.
