    OS - we have signed 28 Yr old Kevin Holt. His "natural" position is according to McCall, Left Back and he can cover Central defence as well. Don't know much about Holt though seems he was at Dundee earlier in his career. 

    Hope this doesn't mean we are releasing Foster. His performances in the last 10 games were very good both in defence and attack! 

    Anyone know about Holt? 

    According to Wikipedia he's been between QoS, Dundee & in Cyprus twice. So looks like he was part of the QoS Second Division & Challenge Cup winning squad of 2012-13. And incidentally made both his league & Cup debut against us on 12/11/11 & 07/01/12 respectively. Apparently his father was also a footballer, striker by the name of Gordon Holt.

    And that's about as much as I know, looks on paper a decent signing to me.

    Remember when we'd already won the league then went up to Inverness? Lost 3-0, with several of our players clearly suffering from headaches and a few even looking quite unsteady on their feet. Even so, the post-match pitch invasion was great!

    Found it! And yep commentator realised what's probably a similar scenario to Montrose on Tuesday  and especially would've been if fans were allowed in

    Our main rivals for top 4 in the Championship next season will be one (but possibly two) relegated PL team(s) plus from the Championship -  Dundee, Raith Rovers, Dunfermline and I hope ICT - as I can't stand the 3 mentioned. 

    Although I have said possibly two PL teams I fully expect whichever Championship team makes the play-off final, propably Dundee, will lose out to the PL team (either Hamilton, Kilmarnock and Ross Co) .

    I am going to put my head on the block here and say Hamilton will win their  final two games to retain, yet again, their PL place. This means my candidates for the Championship/play-off are, not in any order - Ross Co & Kilmarnock. 

    Looks like being a very competitive league next year which should worry Ayr, Arbroath & QoS! A top 4 spot for us  would be some achievement! 

    True. That's why I'm saying if we can make top 4, keep our best players 1-2  years longer & build on that the following season I'll be more than happy!

  6. Perspective. It's not the end of the world against a side we've defeated twice already this season & 5-0 at home last month. We 100% need a few new faces in if hoping to mount a challenge next season & personally would be happy if we make the promotion play-offs next season & lay the foundations of a promotion side as Mccall already has done 2007-2011, then build on that to go for promotion to the Premiership the following season. So for me it's about keeping the nucleus of our strongest XI and taking it from there - can't be much worse than 2019-20 anyway so let's see how much better than that we can do...obviously we're still waiting to see who our main rivals are but reckon top 4 would be a decent result.

    Haha.  Are we trying to do Montrose a favour here?

    So it would seem, in a sense. Despite how they voted against us would still find it funnier than I should if they ended up being promoted alongside us after all this

  8. Just to echo all that's been said, great memories despite only being old enough to follow Thistle in his third stint. Gutted I never got to meet him directly. But great memories, like promotion at Love Street in '02.  Was in the home end with my also late dad (St Mirren fan) as Thistle end was sold out. Always remember JL afterwards talking about how the fans have been great, how deserved it was after all the club had been through. And years later on "Grasping the Thistle", in the dressing room pretty nonchalant and basically having to be dragged back out, arguing the day was for the players and fans. Like his match programme chat too, where his humility and realism but quiet optimism really came through before a game.

    P.S. Was behind the opposite goal that day so yep, got a great view of Derek Fleming's goal (and crash into the post)!

    RIP One Johnnie Lambie

  9. OK, so I was there today and would say this about the game:

     

    As scoreline suggests, struggled in defence and midfield. Again were caused all sorts of problems from set-pieces. Managed to deal with initial attack but very shaky with follow-up rebounds and goalmouth scrambles (partly yes due to Cerny who I'd liked to have seen hold on to a bit more saves, rather than parry them and leave danger) - which I think were at least the cause of goals one and two. Had an OK spell in the first half and very start of the second half but that was about it.

    Other than that looked a relegated, never mind relegation side. Humiliation just got worse and I left at 80 minutes.

     

    Walking up the road could only think if & when we get injured players back, it'll be too late even for players with a chance of making a difference. Hoping I was wrong and just in a mood. Topped off with having to share a packed train back from Glasgow with folk coming back from Ibrox. Two carriages only and not everyone got on, people arguing and pretty much squaring up with those in the doorway when they said they couldn't move further down and let them on. Lovely.

  10. Hi crazy davie,

     

    Never used Wix myself, but sounds along the lines of getting your website to 'point' to your domain. Wherever you bought your domain name from should give several technical details - IP addresses etc. of your domain. Once you've found these, you should then be able to go to your Wix account and website settings, and specify them. Things like NS (name server) or SFTP details are a sign you're on your right track.

     

    So I've only done this with WordPress, but in short, you want to 'point' the Wix domain outside of Wix to your own domain.

     

    Background:

    https://en.support.wordpress.com/move-domain/change-name-servers/

    https://en.support.wordpress.com/move-domain/setting-custom-a-records/

     

    Ah! https://support.wix.com/en/article/connecting-a-domain-to-the-wix-name-servers

     

    It's possible the changeover takes a couple of hours, but was sorted pretty soon when I did it.

    Hope that helps a bit!
