WTF 5pm the evening before a game and no match thread. Being on the other side of the world is no excuse Manc Had the misfirtune to be at the away game earlier this season, absolutely horrific. Think tomorrow's game will be a better occassion and we'll bag the three points Out Golf Hopefully picking up a stream Out for curry and beers 3-0 (Cosgrove, McGinn & Anderson)

Fixed that for you

Bad day for the celebrities Gary Rhodes (Chef) 59 Clive James (TV Presenter) 80 both deceased today.

I also agree that o'er £14k a week sounds high. Not sure how many staff will be employed but staffing costs (wages, N.I, pension) will be the major cost. Will they be allocating some of the existing coaching staff costs directly against the Training Centre ? Then you'll have all your rates cost, water rates, utilities, security costs, insurances etc etc. Guess it would mount up. Would love to know the ins and outs of it, but as others have said we're not going to be privvy to it.

I totally get your opening sentence Rico....uncertain times it certainly is, but the thing that gives me the hope is that this doesn't appear to be something brought about by necessity. I also beleive that unlike Romanov at Hearts that their will sensible heads on here that ensure we live within our means. A lot of water to flow under the bridge before we see exactly what the real benefits will be here.

So just taken the time to listen to the press conference in full and reckon there is much to like about what was said. Firstly, regardless of my personal feelings about Milne, go off and enjoy your retirement, Cormack looks like a chairman and talks like a chairman, think he'll represent our club well and won't stand fools lightly. Now if only he'd been around when the vote was taken a few years ago. Eales, again seems to have a pretty decent background. Very much liked the three principles he talked about. So is this evolution or revolution ? I'm going to reserve judgment on this and pleased to hear about the ninety day reflection and planning period meaning no knee jerk decisions should be made. Ultimately the proof of the pudding will be in the eating, so here's to the future. Exciting times being a Don and lots of other teams supporters are extremely cynical about it all, but can put that down to two factors, ignorance and dare I say it jealousy

And another one hot foots it out of AyeBrokes. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50556392

I can assure you CtS that during my visits to your Mrs whilst you were at the games, the neck was definitely not one of the parts of her body that she got it

Is good news then

Oldie - Yes Good - You fucking bet it is

Ok own up lads. Who was it

Looks like he'll be going nowhere. Sky Sports reporting official approach for permission to speak to Michael O'Neill

Totally agree with your last sentence TC Would reek of lazy or non existance scouting

Central Belt mid week games are normally a certainity for me, but no more. Just can't being myself to go and watch this dross again. Fully expect us to bore our way to a narrow victory. Anything other than three points and this season is royally fucked before November is out and hard to think when I'll be back as long as things remain the same

L.A beat me to it, but was about to highlight the error of your ways Manc. Season 15-16 was a crazy season, we had 24 points after 8 games, lost to Hibs in League Cup, proceeded to pick up only one point out of the next fifteen, go on a decent run of form and end the season with 3 points from the last 18 available. Crazy crazy stuff.

That isn't his decision to make He doesn't call the shots in this. Requires a willing seller, a willing purchaser and dare I say lastly willing player.

So Devlin gets his first cap tonight. Can't help but feel the fingers will be pointed at him when he get ripped a new one tonight.

Why would you presume that ? Doesn't get into my top six AFC players and post playing career a bit of an arse of a man.

Fucking hope not

Full tank of diesel in the motor this morning, more than enough to drive Derek down and Jack up the road. Happy to give up a day of self employment to make this happen

I've been very quiet on here of late and there's a very good reason for that. Now whilst I'm not quite calling for McInnes's head on a pitchfork, I have to say that with each passing week my interest is lessening. Pretty sad to say that over fifty years on from my first game and by christ I've witnessed some utter shite during that time.

Glorious, just glorious

This more than justfies Sammy's inclusion
