As Hampden friendlies go it was about as good as any I can remember in the last decade. Which isn't to say it was actually good, but at least we won and we scored a decent goal too. Absolutely monsoon though, I'm not sure I'll ever be dry again. Thought Snodgrass, Wilson and Bardsley were all encouraging.

Christ. Not half.

Cottiers is crazy tough. I was in with my brother and a handful of his friends. Hard to gauge how many Dandies were in because there was absolutely nothing to cheer for!

Couldn't have looked any more out of place than he did at left mid on Saturday!

Aye, from my angle - diagonally away behind the far post - I thought it was a pen too but on seeing the replay... oh dear.

Might make it along, possibly. I tend to overcommit, I know.

Him and their 10 (McGowan?) bossed it.

We were dreadful and didn't deserve anything. St Mirren played quite well - not outstandingly - and could have won by two or three. And when things weren't working we didn't have a plan B, the bench was about as lightweight (probably literally) as any I've ever seen. I thought Magennis and Milsom were particularly poor - Magennis left Robertson exposed time and time again and then had the cheek to berate the latter repeatedly, and Milsom seemed utterly incapable of putting his foot on the ball to look for a pass (although in fairness the lack of movement around him made that all the harder). We definitely need another striker, some creativity in the middle (where was Fyvie?) and a winger if we're ever to even make some chances this season, never mind score.

Just about to pop into town to catch the train. This whole confusing relatively summer-like scenario continues!

Huh! I don't know what I think of this. My instinct is that it's a good idea but it's a little weird. Where are the SFA getting the cash from? Is this season a pilot or is it permanent?

My immediate reaction too.

I like how RedWeb reckon they had the story up within a minute of the signing! I take it we're assuming Consi at left back as things stand?

Aye, and Cooper's across the road is pretty hopeless too.

The Rock's not a bad pub and we're badly in need of a replacement for Hubbards, that in itself is a turn up for the books!

Welcome, Jason, all the best!

Odd thing to say. Presumably in the context of something else?

Get well soon, Clangers.

Is it the cross-border thing Celtic keep screwing Cardiff with?

Heard tell from what I think is a reasonably reliable source that we have something planned in Germany, but I dunno what.

"Stumbling block" over the fee is actually vaguely encouraging for once.

Ach well. Shame it didn't quite work out.

Yep, has to be. No other contenders.

Good to hear FF was in the squad at least!
