Third Lanark

They have just made 2 decent signings including wotherspoon over the last couple of days. I’m sure they said they didn’t need any more attacking options. Even if they reigned in their spending and I am sceptical they will then i am sure they could still easily outbid us for Thomas

Or maybe it’s because Raith we’re only offering him a 6 month contract and we offered 18 months.

Scoring goals was a problem against Dundee United but. Anyway this looks an excellent signing and we know he is definitely match fit as well

I’ve been critical of him and he didn’t have that much to do in the game but at 1-0 Sneddon produced a valuable save. Had taken a deflection from one of our players that could have went anywhere but Jamie provided an important save

As said Thomas would be an upgrade on what we have. Alston, McInroy, Lyon and Robinson are all decent but they are not the same quality as Don Thomas. 2 could be away in summer. Can we guarantee Robinson will be injury free when he has so far not proven to be and Lyon has still a bit to do

Those 3 are decent players but Thomas or for that matter Turner would be an upgrade on the 3 of them to be honest. 2 of them are also contracted only till the end of the season as well

It’s been reported today that Dundee United are not pursuing Thomas. Of course who knows if there’s truth in whether we are linked or not

I’m hoping him being Glasgow based would give us an advantage

Yeah I think Sneddon will be on same as Mitchell- both are considered to be number ones and due to his length of service I think will be the same. I do agree with you he will be on less than Bannigan, Graham and Lawless but as I say think he will be on same as Mitchell

Sneddon was offered a 1 year deal yes. He was offered same time as Bannigan. Do you think Bannigan is on pennies? Sneddon has been here 6 years do you think he is on pennies? Your comment about take it or leave it contract makes little sense as pretty much every player is offered a contract and will either take it or leave it

Given Sneddon has been here for over 6 years I doubt very much he is on pennies at all. Likely on a very decent wage. Graham and Bannigan got contracts extensions when money was allegedly tight- do you think they are on pennies?

Giving some of his howlers lately Sneddons position of number 1 should be getting seriously looked at.

If we could get Ashcroft in as CB then this would definitely be a possibility

Mitchell is a better goalkeeper and we were 20 minutes away from winning promotion. He wasn’t to blame for Tiffoney and Bannigan missing open goals

Very good result and Doolans is doing great. But the keeper situation needs addresssd. While he. Is apparently injured currently Sneddon should have been dropped weeks ago for Mitchell. Sneddon is an average keeper who in 6 years has barely improved- he needs to stop getting his contract renewed. If Mitchell is getting moved out the club in January then this is a mistake

Can we loan McCall back for a month

Was it not suggested over the summer that medical staff at clubs couldn’t sign him off with concerns over his heart?

That was only a couple of months ago. I’m guessing the £50k or so went towards keeping the club running/reducing debt etc

Very possibly or more than likely went to towards reducing the massive debt we had accrued

It’s been mentioned on numerous football forums that the teams in the playoffs be it us or any other club make next to nothing from the playoffs. the SPFL takes the lion share to compensate for the likes of the teams that get relegated from the premier league etc

Next to nothing really going by what WJ and others have said

If didn’t generate much extra cash. The SPFL take the lion share of money with the home team retaining about 20 per cent of the gate

Completely agree. The loan to Ayr has been great for him. As you say whether we can or not will really depend on Anton and Kris. Hope they can put any differences aside and get it done

I suppose Airdrie to an extent we’re hampered with not knowing what division we were in though not to the same extent as us. Generally happy with how things are progressing. Mistakes have been made and recruitment was not particularly good although there were factors in that. However starting in 24 hours Doolan has a chance to show he has learned the mistakes he made over the summer in terms of recruitment

The £500k investment came outside the transfer window. Who knows if any of it is likely to be spent on players but even if some of it is then we will not see the affects of that for at least another 24 hours. It might be that none of it is for the transfer window. But it’s a fact that it was not there last summer when the window was open
