  1. With Burrows at Aberdeen there will always be a chance that Robinson will feature on their list. I think the Goodwin failure would probably put Cormack off though. He absolutely cannot afford to get another appointment badly wrong and although it would be spectacularly unfair on Robbo, I think their fans would see an approach for him as just a repetition of the Goody mistake. Cormack doesn't have any goodwill in the bank these days, he can't have the fans agitated about the new appointment from day one. Same goes for McInnes - the majority of Dons fans would be furious if they went back in for him I reckon. Besides - why would either of those fine fellas be interested in trading European football for a year in the Championship?
  2. I'll have a look see what's going on folks. Thanks for reporting.
  3. I went to the 1877 post game on Sat and was very slightly merry. When I left I bumped into Goga on his way to his car and I made it absolutely clear to him that he needed to sign a new contract. I might have also have kissed his baldy head
  4. The next week will tell us exactly where we are at. We really need to be looking for 4pts minimum against County and Aberdeen given the form of those two teams. Tomorrow night is the sort of game that has killed us a bit both this season and last. It's not going to be easy but if we want European football it's the sort of game we simply can't be losing. One game at a time, control the controllables and all that
  5. I can't see any possible reason why it wouldn't be downgraded to a yellow which I assume in turn will mean he will still miss the next league game (Livi Away) but would be available for Sunday.
  6. Tough time of year and been a lot of games in quick succession so I guess add in the live TV coverag, who we are playing, and it being on the Sunday, then lower than usual ticket sales were to be expected. But this is really poor with just 48 hours to go!
  7. Ticket sales don't look great to say the least.
  8. This could really go either way. Should be a cracker with loads of goals, so I'll go for 0-0.
  9. Very close, 10 posts or more inside an hour.
  10. Spot on. This was a punt, by both clubs, to get a proven goalscorer in on a short term deal to the end of the season. End of the day the risk was fairly low, let's say it's a £2k a week contribution to his wages over 20 weeks, £40k. It's not insignificant, but in the big scheme of things, it was a bit of a no brainer. Each place in the league is worth about £200k in prize money, and then there is the additional carrot of European football to chase. Saints televised cup tie against Celtic will not have been budgeted for, and that income would have pretty much covered the spend, whereas Kilmarnock are at home to a lower league club in the 5th round so will be justifiably confident of a quarter final place. Again, unbudgeted income that I guess they have speculated with. Can't blame either club for taking a punt on him, and it was a toss up between us with KVV preferring Killie. Them's the breaks. If I was a Motherwell fan I'd be very, very worried though. Unlike Killie and St.Mirren they are absolutely DESPERATE for a striker, they only have one fit number 9 right now. They are also still very much in a relegation dogfight and they had the chance to get a player that scored 20+ goals there just last season. And yet they could only offer HALF of what Killie and Saints could?? That should terrify their supporters.
  11. The overall wages for Brophy, including what we were paying his agent, was more than £3k per week. We were very, very glad to get shot of him.
  12. I'm hopeful that we can squeeze something good out of Scott and that Kwon can help us carry more of a threat from the middle of the park. Need to stay positive. We have not become a bad team overnight, just one of those runs which has been a mix of tough fixtures, poor performances and some hard luck stories. I'm still confident we can finish strongly but I do concede that top six is looking a bit of an ask with Hibs, Dundee and Kilmarnock all looking like they had very good windows.
  13. It would be churlish not to say KVV is, on paper, an outstanding signing for Kilmarnock given how he performed last season. He'd have been a brilliant signing for us, and I'm gutted we didn't get him. Sounds like our board have seen the opportunity to get what is after all a proven goalscorer at this level, and thought it was worth a punt to the end of the season, and the Killie board have thought the exact same. Clubs like Killie and St.Mirren don't get the chance to sign a guy who hit 20 goals in our division very often! IF Killie get him going again then it nails their top six spot IMO, but by the same token there are no guarantees. He's not played in a couple of months, and let's be fair he was a bit hit and miss before last season's purple patch. Interesting to see how it pans out.
  14. A shame if we've missed out but if there were funds to make a serious offer for Van Veen those funds will still be there and hopefully we have a decent plan B!
