I still can't believe we've pulled this one off. Thank you Rama and Fergie who must have reassured him. The JT connection obviously can't be down played either. Superb stuff.

would potentially be a helluva signing if we pull that one off (and it turns out to be true). I think re: Boyd, as long as the paper work is in but deal not finalised etc, then that's fine? I'm sure players get announced the next day sometimes.

£300k is an absolute steal for an international proven goalscorer, but it does beg the question, wtf were we doing Low balling it in the first place? We’ve needed a proper striker for some time and this should have been a £500k and done thing months ago. Anyway, glad we’ve finally got him and welcome back.

Thanks for the memories, Shady Mo! A cup winner and a super sub. Hope we’ve got someone as good if not better about to sign up. He provided a point of difference which this team severely lacks

I hope you're right tlg, but if we're still bottom or thereabouts by Christmas, I'm not sure the club will have much choice. We really need to start seeing something and something positive fast.

I think you're probably being a bit generous in all honesty. I'd say we haven't had a good balance for nigh on 8-9 years now? Essentially since the golden generation of the early McInnes teams. It was a steady decline of balance which has now got to breaking point. We really lack any sort of identity at the moment, apart from our fans do cool shit. But as a team, we're very beige. To have left it this long, knowing that these problems were going to exist is borderline negligent. Project players are fine, providing the spine is there to support them. It doesn't exist. Huge 24 hours for the club, as so far, they've well and truly scuppered the momentum from the cup win.

Woah, woah, woah there. Let’s not confuse my dislike of Cosgrove now he’s signed for Auckland

Wasn’t a legend by any stretch of the imagination, but we bought into him and he goes and does that. Football is football, and on that basis, I hope the rat gets broken

Can imagine his frustration on the back of all the hype in two seasons ago, maybe it got to his head and he felt he was better and didn’t want to put the hard yards in? it is a shame though, we need local youth coming through or it’s all a bit pointless. Good on the club for getting some decent coin for someone who doesn’t want to be at the club.

Think we can close this off , Panda has started the conference one anyway

Scott Burns rubbished it during the game. I know a few people saying the news came from Cormack himself, but who knows.

Jensen allowed himself to be out in that position. Goalside ffs, it’s basic. Its a tall order now, not sure how we score.

Also, Milne playing well

Very even game but we need to be a bit more streetwise. These bookings are all avoidable. They foul and no yellow, team should have been prepped for this.

Game day! Looking forward to having my home office set up for the game ️

I’m not naive enough to think he never would, although I don’t think he ever would directly from us. I genuinely thought he’d kick on from us in all honesty that he wouldn’t even need to come back to Scotland. Regardless, it’s shite thinking that the huns will have one of our most popular players in recent times. And they will love it. That’s probably the worst part of it. Didn’t really care about the last 3 rats, but this, this I care about.

This one is going to hurt, and it makes me wonder if he’s just not bothered by the hate he’s going to face. If he does it, fuck him.

I see Rijeka have now been bought by trump loving Foley. That should make it interesting when they have to play rock, paper, scissors for who gets to get kicked out of Europe.

We def needed a left back, but I’d have liked one less raw than this. Two project left backs, providing one ever gets fit, not convinced. Amazed we paid the Tims actual money, but at least it’s not a loan.

Would be a good study for someone to do tbh. But I guess the issue we have at the moment is that we’re not exactly a clear pathway for anyone either. had a look at Lewis Pirie who was highly rated and moved to dirty Leeds 2 years ago. Has played 3 mins of EPL2 this season, nothing else to report and deal expires in June.

That’s funny as the highlights really didn’t seem to imply it was a great game at all the atmosphere came through though.

That was some ping! Decent distance out too.

A sign as to how hunremarkable his career was post Dandies.

I’m not in the slightest. He’s gonna stroll the a liga but I’ll never admit that to any bluenoses

Couldn’t deal with it, that’s for sure. The smugness of the weegie press essentially diminishing his time with us would be horrendous.
