I meant more through last season, people were staying away. QP was a bit healthier. But that could be down to a bit of new season optimism. Don't see that being maintained for very long, if things don't change.

That didn't work out too well last season, with crowds dropping. The board will barely notice. Interesting chat happening over on CTO. Worth keeping an eye on, see if folk are up taking some action, rather than inaction.

That's 3 stackable runs in 3 seasons. And only 2 games into the league campaign. I agree, the board is useless, and unlikely to do anything soon. But apathy isn't going to change anything. The only way I can see them take notice, is to turn up in numbers, and make them hear how much the fans want him out.

Think I'd rather Connor Smith there. Hopefully Robbos being down to tynecastle recently, making himself useful.

I don't think our defense was that bad. Apart from 2 mistakes leading to the goals. Problem for me, was a very ineffective midfield. Causing the defense to be under a lot more pressure than they should have been. Bray clearly much better than anyone starting in the middle today. And has to start next week. Lodovica was not worth the wait. Most immobile player I've ever seen.

Arbroath were up in the playoffs and challenging. While bringing in players from lower markets than all the teams around them. Morton could do the same this season imo.

What's the craic with Keith Bray. Seems to be getting talked up a lot lately. What's he like? Is he good enough, to be getting game time in the league?

1. Queen's Park Seems to be steadily strengthening, year on year. With a bit more consistency, will be favourites for me. 2. Dundee United On paper easily winning this. But also possibly, enough of a basket case, to f**k it up. 3. Inverness Caledonian Thistle Much the same as last year. Hopefully without as big an injury problem this year though. 4. Greenock Morton Well organized, if unspectacular. The leagues new Arbroath 5. Raith Rovers Seems stronger. But still not a playoff side, for me. 6. Dunfermline Athletic Too reliant on average championship, and inexperienced players to be any higher 7. Airdrieonians Pretty weak looks squad. But another team I see doing well, from being well organized 8. Patrick Thistle lost a lot of good players. And don't seem to have done much to to replace them. Should be worried. 9.Ayr United. Won't have the goals of last season. Despite finishing near the top, weren't a very good side. 10. Arbroath They're finished.

He had apparently turned down clubs in England too, to come to us.

That was a very disappointing watch. 90% of that was passing backwards, or losing the ball.

Interesting line up. 433, or Welsh in behind Billy?

So there's still room for a big , marquee signing

Delaney and Ram. Strachan, seems to be in about first team now too.

We're pretty loaded for centre backs. I don't think Deas and Allardice are going to turn out to be that big of a miss Right winger definitely a priority. But from his highlights Brooks looks just as comfortable out wide. Trialist doesn't seem to be impressing. I'd just keep Cairns as 4th choice striker/big man option. Good to see all our signed strikers on form, and scoring plenty.

He's already one of the highest paid players in the league. So even if you're offering him a 2 year deal. Is he going to be within your budget?

Young lad Cameron Wilson at Scunthorpe, was on loan to Scarborough. Possibly who you're hearing. Can play right wing too, a position we definitely need.

How anyone can see anyone but the tories as the villains here, is beyond me. The SNP are just bottlers.

Think we're looking fairly strong so far. A couple of wingers now, with Walsh and Sutherland of the books, should have more room to bring in quality attack minded players than last season. Get that right, and we should be in contention for promotion.

Rumoured to be in contract talks at Caley. Doesn't sound very inspiring.

Daniel o Reilly. Was he any good in the championship?

I could take both at face value, and see the clubs view. And also see the email as a copy paste job. That from it's generic nature Shane has taken too literally. The ICT response makes it out to be a legal requirement, that every club does the same. And I've heard plenty of players from other clubs coming out with the same complaints. Still. Club should really have told him this was likely well in advance.

He is our highest paid player by some distance apparently. And a bit of a pay cut, if he's being offered a 2 year deal at his age, is the right call financially imo. As long as its not too drastic a cut.

Think it's probably the right decision releasing Sutherland, and probably Walsh too, having given them a year with no sign of returning. Although very poorly handled by the club.

Choosing not to have the strongest team possible, is certainly a choice. And will surely lead to relegation, loss of momentum, and crowds, sooner rather than later.

The BBC commentator's certainly wouldn't agree they were off form. Talking like it was the greatest celtic performance of all time. Considering Caley put out 2 premiership teams with relative ease. It's not a surprise that they could make a reasonable attempt at containing celtic.
