I think there are wee quirks like that even in OOC deals these days. You can negotiate the compensation down, for add ons.....I THINK. Was there not something similar in Campbell's deal for Luton. I could be miles off it.

how do we see this?

credit where credit is due, I know it ultimately boils down to the player wanting to stay but convincing him Fir park is the best place for his development is good going.

I could not agree more re the lack of rectifying the centre of Defence. I thought that should have been priority number one in January, Regardless of how many centre backs we had signed. I do disagree with us being terrible to watch though. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't say we are good to watch, cause that implies consistently good, and whilst we have been a very tough watch at times, I think middle to front we can be very easy on the eye. I think the goal of the season reel in may will be a corker. Anyway, my piece on Kettlewell, Job seems done this season. If he can sort out the defence, which I probably trust him with on the basis he has made more good signings than bad (I think) then excellent. We as a club need the stability given everyone over his head doesn't have a clue what's going on right now. The Bair, Moses Davor trio is something I've bought into for next season.

I wonder if that is who he co-founded the company for fantasy football games with? @capt_oats the more i'd read into him the more I leaned away from the documentary idea.

Nae idea, good job he doesn't work there if they are though. Got his own company now called Wild sheep content. he appears to have been been a co founder in a company that developed fantasy football style games for major media companies, which i suppose could be very profitable in the US as well.

some googling flung up this; Netflix pays its employees 25% to 50% more than competitors, with entry-level coordinators making six figures and vice presidents earning a minimum of $1 million, sources told the Hollywood Reporter. also a mention of 5% stock included as well, Netlfix is worth 272 billion, so no idea what equates too.

This guys plan is to basically do a Wrexham isn't it. Fire out a fly on the wall Netflix Documentary and hope it takes off in the same fashion. Every report i've read refers to it as a Scottish Wrexham. Does anyone have the slightest idea how much this guy is worth?

That was me. And whilst I do firmly believe it was a total fluke we got him, I totally agree that the club are due a lot of credit for making it happen. He looks as though he could go on to have a very very good career at a top level, and it will be one of those where folk are like mind when Biereth was at Motherwell. Like Aaron Mooy at St Mirren, just a lot better.

That is very true. I understand that point, I think that is where I am coming from though with the 'stripping it back to the basics' Before VAR was introduced, things were missed, it was human error and fans can eventually accept it, which I think is a far more healthy position to be in that the one we are currently in.

Was VAR not brought in with the understanding that games wouldn't be re-refereed? again, I don't have any right or wrong answers, it's not my job. VAR over analyses every decision, could we strip it back to the basics, and let the referee and his officials deal with the rest of the game. Would I want rid, absolutely, I just can't see it happening.

Yeah, as mentioned, my only issue with offside is the length of time it takes, even clear offsides are taking minutes. But you can't argue with the technology, user error aside, it is correct 100% of the time. on the other point, 'just get rid' whilst I 100% agree with that, and all your other points re matchday experience, making the game worse etc, I think it's fantasy land stuff. So coming up with ways to improve the use of it and ultimately get it working in a way, that supporters and clubs are accepting off, Happy probably to strong a word. I have no idea if it would be possible (someone somewhere must know) if there is a good v bad type stat, which is very subjective from club to club obviously. I'd be over the moon to be proven wrong, I just can't see how the League/clubs would invest X amount and bin it so quickly.

On the whole VAR chat, and how long it takes to come to a decision, could you put in some sort of limit. Say 30 seconds? If a decision is clear and obvious, you will see that within 30 seconds. Watching the same thing, multiple times, from multiple angles really boils down to the referee not having a clue. A reasonable time limit surely takes away a lot of the things the fans hate, ie time taken to get the game restarted, Games being re-refereed etc, i suppose it gives the referee the chance to see it once more and to make a decision, as opposed to freeze frames, slo mo replays and the likes The offside one is difficult, as far as I am aware, it is the one thing the system gets 100% right all of the time, albeit I have certainly debated a few. And as we seen in the Prem, it still comes down to officials not making a pigs ear of it. But 2-3 minute delays to draw lines when we are really talking toe nails surely isn't the answer, saying that, I don't know what the answer is.

I see that's Brighton and Brentford now looking to jump on the bandwagon of buying to Scottish Clubs, Both looking at Dundee Utd. On the face of it, that is probably two teams you wouldn't mind chipping in, from the outside, seem well run.

Am I missing something Re Nicholson, is he not only on a 6 month deal? or are we assuming he will extend? fwiw, quite keen to see Moses as well.
