well fan for life

Doubt it. He was out of contract so we were due whatever compensation amounts to these days. We've fumbled a lot of things in the last few years but that's got to be the worst of them.

Never mind signing another striker. If we'd signed one centre back that wasn't a fucking idiot we'd have cantered this season. The number of shocking individual errors we've lost goals to this season has been almost laughable.

Vale's been great value as a January signing. For all we were worried big time about Mika going back to Arsenal I'd say Vale & Bair have more than filled that void. Would love to see him and Gent stick around next season but nae doubt they'll be off on loan elsewhere.

Shogun. Bloody hell what a show.

Just looked him up and they emptied him 6 months into a 3 year deal. Also, weirdly, there's a whole load of PAS Giannina stickers have appeared all over lampposts near my house. Maybe Bazooka Joe's moving his crypto empire back to the west of Scotland.

Yes. Which is honestly staggering to think about.

Even just a season of not lurching between crises would be pretty sound to start with.

Presumably everything is NDA'd up to the tits at this point so other than him giving that interview to the BBC last week we'll hear hee haw else until they've drawn up the investment plan and passed it on to the WS for perusal.

Spittal vs Celtic for me. The wee turn and drop off from Miller before Spittal bends it into the top corner. Beautiful.

Blaney's a big, brave laddie and we can probably just about make that work. Would keep him around but I'd like to see us sign someone in the summer to hold the defence together like Butcher did before his legs exploded.

Sam Foley actually looked like a half decent option but Graham Alexander didn't seem to agree.

Again, the COVID years are not canon. However I think our perspectives were all fucked due to watching Robbie Crawford being left to play midfield through a stream that chucked it every 5 minutes.

My overarching memory of Maguire is that game St Johnstone cuffed us 5-1 while he played at centre back. Looked like he'd never played fitba before. Then he managed to win new deals by hitting corners with both feet which appeared to only impress Jock Brown during the Covid years. This should not be taken into consideration for his future as the Covid years are not a canon event.

Oh aye absolutely. We can't put the whole blame at his feet for our failings this season. He is a tragically bad football player, make no mistake.

I'm not sure what replays you've seen but it's onside. Fortunately the last defender is holding the cut of the pitch while failing to stop the cross. Shaw is just utter humpty. But on the subject of terrible football players, that lad Youan is a good laugh. Runs faster than just about anyone in the league but absolutely hopeless with a ball at his feet.
