If there's any possibility Ayr are being used by McKay to get better terms from Inverness then the offer should have a firm deadline attached to it and be publicly withdrawn if it passes.

"6. Almost signed Billy McKay"

This feels like one of those 'make up a plausible rumour for social media clout' situations.

I'd be very surprised if they signed McKay. I appreciate Bullen said they want experience, but that would be a huge chunk of the budget invested in hoping a 34 year old and a 35 year old stay healthy for most of the season. (Though my cynical side sees the built-in excuse for when they don't...)

I'm stuck in departures at Heathrow. Not sure which is worse.

While people will have opinions on individual signings, the fairest thing to do is to look at the overall squad they put together once it's complete.

What level do Aldershot play at?

There's a decent argument that Dipo's value shouldn't be significantly less than van Veen given his age, track record, attributes.

Doesn't make sense to add another centre back if they're playing a back 4 most of the time

Need to be careful with these types. If they sign players that are too good they might promote too soon or play football that's too attractive.

Agreed, though to be fair many of them are pushing 40 now.

I'm sure the SFA would argue that a weather event like last night was so unlikely and remains so unlikely to recur that any expense on resilience would be a waste. This is because they are idiots.

I think this might edge the purple/green number as my all-time favourite Ayr kit. Just beautiful. A shame I'm far too old to wear replica kits now or I'd be putting it straight at the top of my birthday list.

New Maradona my arse. Barely a footballer.

Two surnames and no first name is a red flag imo

Will be fun when we sign Danny Mullen and people call him Mullin despite not being able to find that spelling for Josh.

Can't imagine Premiership teams are charging much more than £22?

Let me just check on staunchgifs.com

I think it's universal for wingers that they look better coming on against tired defenders.

Hope they haven't spent the Dipo money already before it comes in.

Really hard to see what's in this for Rodgers. He could likely pick up an EPL job if not during the coming season then certainly after it and he's already shown he's able to win everything in Scotland, so doing it again isn't going to increase his standing or earning potential. Moderately intrigued to see how it plays out.

Because people are interested and invested. They want to imagine what the team might look like, get excited about guys that might raise the level. It's fun

But what if he gets really lonely and starts eating pizzas all the time and ends up 16 stone?

No idea why but I love the decision to play at Cumnock.
