Kyle mclelland just as pish as he was the last time he played at TFS.

Playing very well so far. Knocking the ball about really well and the effort is different level altogether from last season. Mackie looks far better at centre half . A decent striker and we've got the basis of a side here. So much more solid in midfield and defence.

I thought that was the case. Thanks for clearing that up.

Probably injured again.

You can't rely on a definitive amount from it though to balance the books. The fss money is to buy shares that will hopefully end up giving them more than 51 percent of the club. You rely on it and it falls how do you balance the books then if you've already based your budgets on an amount that you don't get?

Are we not going to self sustaining anyway? I'd be a bit wary about basing your future on having a certain number of subscribers . Fans can be very fickle and things like the current cost of living crisis could adversely affect the clubs ability to survive. At the moment the club doesn't have anyone putting in a pile of cash every year to cover losses so we have to base our budgets on guaranteed income I'd have thought. The fss money should be seen as bonus money . I'm all for the fss owning the club by providing enough money eventually to get to the magic 51 percent of shares but I'm not so keen on us wholly relying on a certain amount of subscribers cash every month to actually exist.

Just the one as Nigel wasn't voted in by the members.

Big difference with Morton was that they were basically going to go tits up without fans buy in to this. I'm sure if we were on the brink you'd have folk signing up left right and centre. It's just the way fans are unfortunately.

Monthly draw first prize being replacing Jaime Wilson in the match day squad.

I thought it was all going towards a new pitch for Davie?

The whole reason they get byes is to allow them to concentrate on their European games.It's got nothing to do with league positions as A championship side could win the Scottish cup and that would get them a bye despite them being a whole league below other premiership sides. If it's not clashing with any euro fixtures then why should they get a bye?

Really no reason why Celtic have been given a bye this season. The group stages of the champ league don't start to mid September so it's not as if this competition is going to get in the way. Them playing in the group's would've meant they could keep the same format as before in regard to qualifying.

Whilst you could get reps who are in fss but not patrons you'll struggle to get patrons reps who aren't members of fss I would think so one way or another your going to have a group with members on the bod over and above the group's reps. Wouldn't like to think that being a member of fss would stop a patron from being a rep surely.

It's not impossible but we have to be realistic and say that chances are we won't . People saying well it'll be a 5th season in league one if we don't sign another 4 players at least . It may well be and it may be a fifth season in league one even if we sign 4 players given our starting point. Going to be a lot of ups and downs this season I'd expect but that's better than the constant downs of last season.

Some people on here seem to actually be expecting us to win the league this season. We were how many points behind cove and Airdrie last season so it's a bit of a push to think we might come top given the budget situation. We need to see definite improvement and playoffs should be achievable but winning the league would be a massive bonus given where we were last season. Now given that that's the case surely we need to realise that 23/24 is a far more realistic season where winning the league would be the minimum target . We need to build towards that and signing these promising young players instead of letting them go is a step towards that.

No it couldn't have been given to mcglynn. That money was provided by bfl to sign a striker in that window so would've been spent by now anyway. Could've been spent better yes but was never going to be not spent.

It's the managers budget at the end of the day so it's up to him how he spends it. If he'd rather keep these players at the club than let them go elsewhere then they must have something about them. He won't be doing it just for the sake of it that's for sure and it obviously isn't preventing him from signing other players that will start of he wouldn't be doing it.

At the moment you either sign them for the first team squad or free them . Mcglynn must think he has a good future ahead of him to do that. The development side will be about next season for these players to join in future but at the moment they need to train with the first team as there is no other avenue. These guys will be on utter peanuts .

Like to see Oliver playing up front alongside someone half decent before I make my mind up on him. Watson was poor last season so hopefully Henderson will be an upgrade on him.

I still feel that the right manager can get more out of some of these guys but yes if these guys are on 2 or 3 year deals I'm.not sure how we are expected to get them off our books if they don't want to go. The managers happy with the budget which is more than he had at Raith so it's not as if it's been cut or the bod are skimping on giving the manager money. We are dependant on what the manager can do with the free part of the budget and how much more he can get out of the players he has inherited.

People talk as if playing right and left back is some sort of impossible task. Christ you get guys in your local pub team that can do it quite comfortably. We've had numerous players in the past that could do it no bother. As I said though we do need a better right back than Williamson . As for wide players one more would be useful but probably not seen as a priority at the moment.

Can't see us signing any more for the middle of the park. We have mcginn , yeats, Ross, Henderson, hetherington and nesbitt that can play there so I would think that areas done. Another right back. Maybe. Although years and Henderson can both play there. It's probably a starter we really need unless Williamson improves.

Certainly the current bod couldn't take his name off anything until the court ruling or it would've opened them up to legal action on his part so I presume there was none of those terms you mention in place.

Are we really miles short? Couple of strikers definitely. A few options elsewhere maybe but at the end of the day we've got players covering most areas now and we look far more solid at the back. Now up to mcglynn to weave a bit of magic and get us playing as a side. All these boys have played at a decent level so hopefully getting a boot up the arse off the manager instead of them being molly coddled will make all the difference. Not exactly seeing any of our rivals bring in superstars. Michael Ruth levels up front aren't going to cut it.

Boy that owns the rocks says he appeared from nowhere and the next thing he's sponsoring all these big clubs. The appeared from nowhere surely should've had alarm bells ringing .
