I mean, I’ll take him if you’re offering

Ryan Shanley escaping the Edinburgh City situation for Falkirk, he’s one I had hopes for if we’re injecting some cash in January. Wonder where that leaves Jordan Allan?

That’s one of the three hinted at by Maitland out of the door. I’ll bet Mulvanny will be one of the others, he’s barely played.

Yes, don’t think it was ever in much doubt tbh.

He looks like he’s appeared on the big screen to disrupt Vince McMahon.

I’m sure that was one of the options mooted on the search but it was basically a done deal for the hockey so it wasn’t pursued.

Shouts for US captain? There was a lot of speculation around Woods but he seemed to shoot that down at his presser in Bahamas

Lots of post match reaction online showing Rollins and Drew raging at the ending, Rollins having to be held back by Michael Cole during Punk’s entrance. Interesting to see how much, if anything, talent knew before the return and what reactions are genuine and which are a work. Which is how this sort of thing is meant to work I suppose.

Yeah Rhea v Zoey Stark next

The Jeanfield keeper for the first

Oh Christ Scott Gair

Great defending from the ‘skipper’ there

No Leslie in from the start is an interesting call to say the least. Bring back McLean

I’m particularly enjoying the EK fan(s) expressing their undying gratitude to the Chicken Man for ‘staying loyal’ and avoiding a job he had no chance of getting anyway. The only question is what tinpot outfit’s scarves they’ll have in their top drawer this time next year.

Appointment set - fingers crossed - to be announced tomorrow evening before training.

Treat this with the level of salt you wish - Lan Live tend to like to blow smoke up Kennedy - but if this is the case, then it’s setting us up for a classic ditched at the altar scenario here and we’re left with back-up choices.

Kevin Thomson watching

That free kick was the full Ross Forbes experience, all the hype followed by a hopeless end product

Not a fan of a lot of what this account says but it feels bang on here. The DPWT’s identity seems to be increasingly as a feeder for the PGAT. It was always the case to some extent but to effectively say to a lot of the dregs in America to come over and take some spots in Euro tournaments doesn’t quite sit right with me. It’s the same as the ‘elevated event’ stuff - there’s no reason why the likes of Wentworth, maybe France or Italy and one of the Middle East tournaments couldn’t have those fields as well but it feels as if it’s the Scottish is the only one because most of the US players are over here the week leading up to the Open anyway.

Never mind that scrub, Sir Richard Waddell has been punching above his weight for the Caley Braves, surely an ideal candidate!

The only good thing about this game has been the Irish journos greeting about how the atmosphere isn’t as good any more, presumably without the green hordes

Weren’t they supposed to be playing the reserves

Ireland and Wales out in one day, lovely stuff. Now mon to f**k Fiji tomorrow

Barnesy reffing Ireland like a man who knows he’s retiring after this and won’t have to hear them whinging

That feels like a big moment unfortunately.
