And Gallagher's officially away:

Twice.

Tbh, I've a feeling this is one where fans won't be consulted due to the potential cost implications. Taking a look at Aberdeen's statement saying they can't afford it, there's no way we'd be able to either

Off topic slightly, but St Vincent's Hospice are holding a bucket shake at the stadium before the Celtic game on the 5th March. We're looking for a few volunteers who'd be happy to help out for about an hour before the match to raise funds for the Hospice. The last bucket shake raised over a grand (can't remember the exact figure off the top of my head). If anyone's interested, drop my colleague Tracy an email at tracy.watson@svh.co.uk

Nah. Just off

Cool. Figured we'd be too far removed from him, but wasn't sure.

Mentions money from Baccus being shared with all the clubs a player has been at. Does that mean we'll get a small amount for Mooy being there too?

Any word yet on whether Ryan Strain or Richard Tait is getting custody of Jota? Was in Strain's back pocket from the moment he came on, had to switch wings, and immediately made himself at home in Tait's back pocket on the other side.

It's when you compare the first half of the first Rangers home game to the recent Hibs game. Against Rangers, he was everywhere and seemed unplayable, pinging about passes that you'd expect Ronan to be making. As such, we played Rangers off the park for the majority of that half. Against Hibs, however, he'd win the first ball then stop, and then complain that the opposition had retaken posession; and his passing was abysmal. How he wasn't hooked after 55/60mins is beyond me. It's that Jekyll and Hyde aspect that frustrates me. He has the ability to be the first name on the team sheet each week, but doesn't seem to want to show it

I'm available for squad management consultations, and my rates are reasonable

I can see it going to go to the compliance officer - trial by Sportscene

Brophy and Tait available for the game. Personally think Brophy shouldn't be near the starting XI - offered bugger all against Hibs. Grieve to start with Kiltie playing off him (if he's fit). Pop Ronan on the right wing with Jones on the left. Gogic starting over Erhahon.

Playing devil's advocate for a second, but I wonder if he was trying to do right by those players by telling them early. The sooner you know you're not getting a contract extension, the quicker you can alert your agent and give them more to find you somewhere else. That said, if said players have already been successful in securing contracts elsewhere then I can totally understand them not giving 100% on a matchday.

Avoid clichés like the plague?

Yes, tell me more about how Aberdeen were a good side approx. 40 years ago Past history is zero indication of future success, especially when you're looking back that far. Your two stars are a stark reminder of good old days that ain't ever, ever coming back. But you enjoy them, the same way you'll be enjoying Jack Ross.

Stay at a team on an upward trajectory vs move to a team on a downward one. Yup. Mental. Besides, your chairman has been pleading poverty so you'll go for the cheap option. Enjoy Jack Ross.

While Goodwin is at Pittodrie, he should take a quick walk to the beach and throw his 3 at the back formation and long ball tactics into the North Sea. Its clearly not working. It leaves us far too open at the back. It was evident against Ross Co during the week - there were huge gaps between the CB's; and I imagine the same happened again today. Alnwick facing so many shots midweek is a direct result of this pish formation; and I genuinely believe his quotes about 'people stepping up' is aimed squarely at Jim. Get it sorted Goodwin!!

Such as?

Yeah, we do. I'm in the same position - thankfully been able to get someone to look after the wee man but there's been games this season where I couldn't

So. Born in Rutherglen. First 18 months of my life were in East Kilbride. Moved to Bishopton (Renfrewshire) and went to primary school there. Parents divorced and I moved to Dumbarton and went to high school there. Define my local team... FWIW, I support St Mirren; mainly because I sang in Paisley Abbey for a good number of years and was driven past Love Street at least 8 times a week.

Forgive my ignorance, but how is the 120k figure discredited? The stand holds 1657. Call it an average ticket price of £24 (I think an adult ticket is actually £27 but there'll be concession tickets etc). Multiply that by 3 games and you get £120k. That's not including any family stand season ticket holders that actually pay the extra to sit elsewhere.

Sounds like he can replace either JDH or McGrath

And the SPFL to chase Rangers for the missing £8m?

Mate, if your cock is dark blue, you might want to get a doctor to look at it.
