Since it MacIntyre's company I'm sure the boardroom will be hoping it is a success too.
It’ll need to be good then, or they’ll be in for a bit of criticism!
It can’t be any worse than the current system though, so they don’t have much to do to improve on it.

Gutter for the boy if true
Confirmed - needs an operation on his cruciate ligament.
Absolutely devastated for him - probably puts his big move on hold too.

Still don’t understand why you stop being a child when you hit 13 years old - utterly bizarre.

Season ticket renewal email in.
I have no idea what the purpose of a 7 day priority window for existing season ticket holders is unless it is just for seats in the new stand.
There is no early bird discount either, so I am not sure why they are trying to initiate some kind of panic buy scenario.
I can’t remember there ever not being an early bird discount!

Definitely so but I think your faith in Turner’s quality might be a bit generous.
Seven goals and sixteen assists last season says otherwise.
He is a fantastic player at this level.

And one doing considerably better than the other. Nisbet has not been great at Millwall.
Nisbet has more league goals than Dykes this season…

Charlie Telfer is one to look at. Maybe a wee bit lightweight but he’s up there this season for assists at Airdrie. I agree that we should at least ask McInroy if he’d come back. Brown will know him a bit from being at Celtic together and it’s a signing that might happen purely for the chance to play under him.
There is also the Stephen Kelly situation too, depending on the Livingston financial situation.
Kelly > Turner > McInroy for me but I would love any of the three!
I couldn’t tell you enough about Telfer tbh!

I don’t know what people expect from Dempsey. He rarely loses possession, covers a lot of ground, can carry the ball forward and chips in with a few goals. He does the basics well which is what you want from a central midfielder at this level. I think Syla is too inconsistent to be relied upon and as much as I like McHugh, his fitness is a bit of a worry. I’d be quite happy if our midfield was Dempsey and a more physical midfielder who is better in the tackle.
IMO, it’s just the usual lazy arguments you get about central midfielders.
I would be happy with him starting next to a deeper ball playing style central midfielder, as I think it would complement him well. Ideally with an actual attacking midfielder in front too - there could be a few available with McInroy released and Turner well out of the picture at Ross County.

Tielemans and Mcginn absolutely bossed that game in the 2nd half once the shackles were released.Tactical masterclass from Emery
Absolutely - they turned the game, strangely not a word about it up against their 100 million man…

I’m sure we had this discussion before, and the circus was in the car park…

It's all good having a lovely new stand but we need a couple of things to fill it, one of them is a player who excites you and gets you off your newly padded seats, Chalmers can do that and yes if he was doing it regularly he would not be on loan at us he'd be playing for Dundee United or back down south but Browns not daft he knows he good for at least 8 to 10 goals a season and probably the same on assists I definitely think he will be trying to make the move to get him on board for next year.
A full season out of Chalmers and I think he gets you twelve to fifteen goals… especially in a better team.
A goal every 200 minutes this season.

He was down south also last season and had there been interest IUnited would have moved him on by now. I agree that some teams in the league will be keen on signing him. Others who play a certain system and allow less of a free role won't. If he is going to be one of our top earners then happy if signs providing they build a team around him. If Brown wants a certain work rate and more of an overall game from the players then money better spent elsewhere
Someone would have had to pay a fee though.
That is a myth too, Chalmers doesn’t have a free role. He has also came into a Brown side, and scored two goals in 140 minutes.
He will obviously give the ball away more than someone like Bryden as he tries things. If we don’t keep him then there obviously needs to be a middle ground as opposed to playing a skinny Cameron Salkeld out wide.

It's not quite as simple as that. Why has a player with attacking technical ability beyond this league not found a home and be among the first names on the team sheet?
He has been contracted to Dundee United who haven’t looked to use him, this summer is his first chance to achieve that really.
IMO, every team in this league next season would be interested in signing him if they could.
Outside Fotheringham, he is now the top scoring midfielder in the league btw.

Now after hearing that interview that's me thinking Musonda could be here next season too.
I know it's just manager talk but...
I mean he isn’t wrong in terms of what Musonda can offer - a centre half partnership of him and Stanger has the potential to be excellent. The issue obviously being how often you would see them playing together.

I suppose the one thing going for Sanders is that he is relatively young for a centre half - he has only just turned 25 and has not played a lot of football so there should be lots of development in him.
There is definitely something there - he can look good on the ball and be dominant. We have just seen too much of the other side of him.

Willoughby had picked up the ball, told Dowds he was taking it, turned round and told Murphy he was taking it, placed the ball and at this point, Sanders thought - NOT ON MY WATCH.
If an opposition player did what he did, he’d be getting abuse for it. He had to be restrained by Dempsey.
I’m counting the sleeps till he’s not an Ayr player any more.
I wouldn’t really care if an opposition player did it. The only person with explaining to do is Willoughby, if he decided for himself that he was taking penalties off of Murphy or Dowds.
Anyway, who cares really - we won 5-0 and should be okay from here!

I’m not bothered if players who back themselves to score them are arguing about taking them. Especially when they then score them.
Sanders running 40 yards to square go a player in his own team, who’s already spotted the ball ready to take one is perhaps something we don’t need.
the massive gormless fanny
If Willoughby was trying to remove someone like Murphy from penalties, then he deserved shit for it - I don’t think Sanders can be blamed for that. Murphy has achieved more in his career over a few games than Willoughby has throughout his career. He fronted up and scored though, so fair play and it didn’t become an issue.
Logan Chalmers now has NINE goals and four assists in twenty starts and four sub appearances. I genuinely think he would need to score a goal a game for some people to admit he contributes excellently at this level. His return this season has been fantastic.

My only grumble/negative say on today was the penalty situation. Willoughby grabbing the ball for the first and a few words with Dowds and the same at the second. That should be sorted pre match.
Murphy is always our taker so I didn’t particularly understand how he didn’t take either!

No idea, not emailed me about it. Got an email about the game today and that’s it.
Ahh okay, sure the post had said emails would be sent out last night!

I know Dykes is complete pony but even he's better than a Lincoln City, 5' 7", Welsh reject.
Nine goals and three assists in fifteen suggests he will most likely be playing in the championship next season…

Club seem to be very coy about releasing details on the price of season tickets…
Are the prices not on the email that the current season ticket holders got?

This isnt new. Are you suggesting they'll ignore tv evidence in lower divisions on principle? Because there are plenty of examples of them taking retrospective action in such games.
No? I’m just saying what I think should be the case..
Someone does the same thing in another championship match tomorrow and receives no ban - it just looks silly.

They can and will (& should).
Andy Dowie got pulled up for standing on Ian Black on tv playing for us in exactly the same circumstances.
Of course they can, but you can’t just be applying things based on which game is on the tv.

He'll be getting a call from the Compliance Officer for that one. Two game ban incoming.
As much as he fully deserves it after his last few games, you can’t be dishing out bans just because a team happens to be on tv when everything else is completely ignored.

Yeah - he was very close to starting and would have played a part so ruins some of our top quality depth too.
