East Fife have signed ex-Raith defender Andrew Cook until the end of the season. From what I remember of him, he's a full back and Raith fans seemed to think reasonably highly of him.

We've been playing John Ovenstone at left back and, whilst he's a good defender, he's never a full back. His distribution just isn't good enough, especially when you compare him with someone like Lowing. So, I assume Cook's been brought in to fill that role.

Even though Ovenstone at LB is a bit of a problem, I don't think he deserves to be dropped but Nugent and Muir have been brilliant at centre back for the past few games and they're keeping Johnny Smart on the bench too. At least there should be competition for places at the back now.

"Soon there will be a referendum on a whole new relationship between England and Scotland. Have a flutter on it if you like. But you don't often make money, betting against Alex Salmond!"

East Fife sign cook! I didn't realise the catering side was going downhill. Ba boom tissh.

Anyhoo, should be a decent signing, even though all we have left to play for is survival. I agree about Ovey, he is a better centre half than a left back.

Very good signing. Great going forward. I'd have kept him for us this season, but he'd already agreed to go traveling.

Ah yes, I recall Wullie Gray telling us that signing Cook was a sign of a club going nowhere....

Anyway, he should do well for you guys, quick, looked better going forward than he was defensively. I recall Ryan borris ripping the living shit out of him down at Somerset. Still, if you have a talkative centre half with a bit of experience to guide him through then he certainly does have the potential to make it at this level.

What does a scanner see? he asked himself. I mean, really see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does a passive infrared scanner like they used to use or a cube-type holo-scanner like they use these days, the latest thing, see into me—into us—clearly or darkly? I hope it does, he thought, see clearly, because I can’t any longer these days see into myself. I see only murk. Murk outside; murk inside. I hope, for everyone’s sake, the scanners do better. Because, he thought, if the scanner sees only darkly, the way I myself do, then we are cursed, cursed again and like we have been continually, and we’ll wind up dead this way, knowing very little and getting that little fragment wrong too.
