except we don't train at Firhill

Like a sort of punishment exercise?

It is tho' a good question. Team are away off to Catterick on Monday. It would be unusual to launch a strip without 1st team players "modeling" it for the media. A lot of potential purchasers might well want the new home top for or before they go their holidays.

Balatoni on loan perhaps but I still feel we need competent cover at right back. Paton's been out injured as it is he's likely to pick up the odd suspension and I feel he's a confidence type player that could need rested for a spell or two. I don't see the obvious cover for him. Campbell or Willie K for a game or two but not too sure over a longer period.

I think THIS may be just a wee bit out our reach but here goes anyway. We raise the £750 in two stages. Firstly a raffle amongst posters on here to raise circa £510 (units of £10 a pop). Prizes are 8x hospitality at a knocked down price of £30, which raises the rest of the cash . If we were to win the "shirt naming etc" we could raise considerably more cash by selling it on. Might just be a bit ambitious getting the 51 x £10 raised on here .

I once shot the "Clean Easy" man with an air gun.

Can't think of any lately as big a jump as that. Wonder tho' why Inter overlooked Mark McCrystal and Lucas Akins when they were watching the lad at Tranmere? . Here's one that's a bigger jump than Hansen's, John White from Falkirk to Spurs. Falkirk were in the 2nd div and Spurs were probably one of the top five sides in Europe at the time.

But they paid out 6p in the £ so there is no "unpaid creditors" as such. Re the player debts I think it was explained that those were projected earnings under contract rather than debt .

Football debts have supposedly got to be cleared in their entirety but you have to assume they don't have any outstanding or there would be a transfer embargo in place. That said I've no idea what the situation is with Chisholm & Dodds. Apart from those two maybe who are the "unpaid creditors"?

Still no mention tho' this is only 1st team fixtures. Hard to imagine if they're playing in Melbourne on the Wednesday that any of that lot would be turning out on the Saturday. Best chance of a sizable crowd would be if they make some big name late signings or other 1st team regulars returning from injury and didn't make the Australia jaunt.

Dundee sign Ross Chisholm ex Hibs & Arbroath

Couldn't even find a mention of the game on Celtic's website. Guessing we're being over cautious as this will be effectively the first game with our new minimal polis policy. Also all this anti-sectarian palaver going thru Holyrood just now could give what's not much more than a bounce game a higher profile, with the press at least. In that case I suppose all ticket could make some sort of sense. Tbh clutching at straws for a reason for this.

Not so sure he's that great defensively and after all he is a wide midfielder that's been played occasionally as a left back. Last season Q o S played with three at the back predominately, Conroy playing as a wingback I assume. Think he'd have been a good shout only if we had an established left back in the squad. So I wouldn't necessary say he was ever on McNamara's radar even if we couldn't have competed with Dundee for him anyway.

Perhaps but that's a high earner off their books. That'll free up some money, maybe enough to bring in a couple of out of contract Div 1 level players.

Well, I suppose it would make a change.

So it looks like they could have sold him in January with the money going into the kitty to pay their creditors. Instead they let him renegotiate his contract and kept him to help ensure they stayed in the division. Perhaps if they had only been docked 15 pts their creditors might have been slightly better off . Said all along that a club going into administration should be docked maybe a statuary 10 pts that season and a further deduction the following season to reflect both the length of time in administration and more importantly what they pay out in the £.

I assume producing a ST book will be enough to gain entry.

That puts a new spin on the phrase not having a leg to stand on.

I thought Kenny's saves in the shoot out up at Brechin were his finest but obviously the saves against ICT and more so up at Peterhead were of far more importance.

You may well have a point. The feel good factor from winning the trophy would be considerable but imo only if it was done by a Jags team that was made up largely of players with their careers ahead of them.

With you there all the way up to to the Challenge Cup bit. I'd be chuffed to win it if we played the youngsters with Scully in goals, that sort of thing. Otherwise I can't get any enthusiasm for what I regard an inane competition.

Hey! How do you know HJ is old?

Much as I'm with HJ in principle, in practice it's a completely different kettle of things you can't make puns of. I don't think I'm being excessively cynical in saying that if this Thomson fella was a thirty goal a season striker with a lower league SPL side fans of his club would maybe be adopting a less punitive approach.

...but yes if it was a penalty. No idea what his penalty save record was/is overall but in his last few seasons with us it's hard to imagine it being bettered.

Much as I believe that the law of the land should be punishment enough I think in practical terms I've gotta agree with above post.
