If it's Blackburn, they can add on Gent and Vale on loan for next season.

What they can't see is whether McCrorie or McLaughlin are, as you said, better keepers than him. It's hard to lose goals when you never play.

Maybe it won't. But if Halliday had finished the season in exactly the same way with Hearts instead of moving here, would anyone be thinking we should move for him? If Kettlewell is happy to give him a chance, fair enough, it's his call. If it goes wrong in the same way it did with Obika, folk will start to get pissed off.

That could be 'thought' rather than 'thinks'. We can't afford another Obika.

I think Steelboy's suggesting Halliday wouldn't hang around for a year if such a conversation took place, and I think he's probably right.

If we're looking for someone to replicate what Gent did for us, Halliday's not the man.

League and Cup double for Johnston & Biereth.

I have Fraser Wishart on line one....

Same as some others, somewhere in between. What's done is done. I don't want Kettlewell out, but I do expect improvements in the glaringly obvious areas next season.

Very true. We finished 9th and conceded 69 goals the season prior to reaching both cup finals. It's always darkest just before you put ten bob in the meter.

I suppose it depends on how often you've seen all this before. You don't need to be drawing your pension to remember a longer run without a win. A couple of seasons later we lifted the cup. The following year, a relegation fight. 2 years later, could've won the league. Real highs, real lows. I don't see anyone saying everything's great, but if anything, it's below average, not catastrophic or unprecedented. This season's history and it'll be all change by August, so why get our knickers in a twist about things we have no influence over? I'm hoping it's gonnae be one of those good years you never see coming.

What investment money?

You'd think the keeper running out to congratulate him on blocking the shot might've been a wee give away, but our refs are too clever to fall for that.

Saved by Kelly.

His face tripped him. Liam Kelly's having a decent game.

The origin of "Why the Long face?"

He's got to be right up there in terms of service and achievements. 4 finals, 2 winners medals within 5 years. You'd also be looking at guys like Andy Paton, Baldy Shaw and Willie Redpath from that side.

If it is Auckland FC he's joining, they'll be competing in the Australian A-League as an expansion team.

Still waiting on a refund from Scotrail.

Impossible to say who the greatest of all time is, for so many reasons, not least the number of guys those of us on here never got to see play. Willie Pettigrew was probably my first favourite, but my memories of guys I've seen since are much more vivid. Tommy Coyne would take some beating for me.

But who got through more bandages?

Just feels like he's missed all season. Certainly not a successful re-signing.

I doubt it. I wasn't sold on him coming but he spoke well about helping the young guys in his wee interview. I've a feeling he has enough professional pride to know whether his legs have gone at this level or not, and act accordingly.

Yes, there is. But since you're not interested, why would you bother checking the facts?

Levein's lot gave themselves something to play for on Sunday.
