Did they just wait to see who was in the final and when they realised two diddy clubs they called I? Or am I missing the significance of the 28th January as a decision day on these things?

Yeah wrong cup, League Cup doesn’t get European qualification as normal. 
 

Scotland gained another European place this season so had to be decided at some point.

 

Also, finishing third gets you a straight playoff for Europa League group stages. Tasty.

Episode 1 of the Almondview Podcast is available now!

In our first episode we had the absolute pleasure of talking to Derek Lilley about all things league Cup with this weekends semi final in mind but he goes in depth into a lot of his time at the club.

It is available on Spotify, Google and Apple podcasts but also on our anchor page.
Have a listen and let us know what you think.

Really enjoyed this, well done on putting it together. Best compliment I can give is that Derek Lilley sounded like he was having a great time chatting to you guys. 

Half way through episode 2 and the interview with McMenamin is equally good, if not better.

Cheers man!
Both interviews so far were a right laugh likes.
McMenamin was a wealth of incredible stories! We guessed his interview would only be about an hour. 2 hours of footage in total I edited down to the 1 hour available.
Absolute class guys the pair of them.
We have a number of incredible guests lined up that will really surprise you!

I'm obviously biased but that's now two excellent podcasts that are done by Livi fans. I've listened to a couple of different clubs ones over the years and, while I appreciate the time and effort that any fan of any club puts in to doing this kind of stuff, TalkLivi and now the Almondview are both far better than anything else I've heard.

Not sure if anyone listed to his post-match interview last night but Martindale said he was looking to bring in a 'foreign player'. Also said one of our players would move out to a Premiership or Championship club. More likely to go out when League 1 and 2 restart.

Jack Hamilton to us please.

[Cptn Hooch]

Jack Hamilton to us please.

I'd imagine if he was going back out it'd be to East Fife again, it was hinted that would be the plan when we recalled him. Saying that, with Lee Miller being your manager anything could happen.

[crispy]

Based on less than an hour of seeing him I think Kabia might have made up a lot of ground on Hamilton and Tiffoney for a place in squad. The little we've seen of him looks really good; he's an exciting prospect. We don't have a speed merchant up top from what I can see so hopefully Jaze is that guy.

With Miller and the Holt connection can only hope and then we can send Dowds back to EF for game time imo.

Yeah started with a view from the terrace vibe, but all about Livi, was a good listen. Have to confess i listened to the first one in bed and nodded off near the end, nothing to do with the podcast though i was just tired. I listened to the end bit again the next day.

 

Not heard the 2nd one yet, will try to stay awake all the way through this time.

Yeah i think they had planned to loan him out to get him game time, and maybe give him a shot in the first team next season, but the way he's started i don't think he'll be going anywhere. Early days right enough but he's had a great impact in 2 sub appearances. Must be doing well in training too, for them to put him straight in against Celtic after just signing him, and then on the bench again against Killie, and getting on as a sub.

Does anyone have a top all-time goalscorer list for us?

Think Buchanan is the top scorer in a season, this list has Beany top of all time goal scorers at Livi though. Livingston FC - Record goal scorers | Transfermarkt

Sorry but that list cant possibly be right unless its limited to like only the last 10 - 15 years.

David Bingham alone scored 50 goals for us  Even Barry Wilson, with 25 goals, doesn't appear on the list.

Also I can only see Ian Russell down for 44 goals whilst playing for us?

[Durnford]

Also remember Lee Bailey notched up an impressive 41 but some of those were for Meadowbank so may not count in this respect.

`Yeah it hasn't got Derek Lilley and Charlie King either, oh well.

Thanks for the feedback, it could be a project for me... 

Jack Hamilton loaned out to Arbroath. Good call considering he hadn't made the bench in the last few games.

What was the name of that French striker we signed at the same time as Tony Andreu? The boy who appeared on paper but never once played in the team?

Christ - yes - your right? About the time of Flynn/Massone take-over wasn't it? I wondered if the guy ever really existed or whether it was another example of creative paperwork.
