Season long loan.

Happy New Year to you all you.

£600k was what I was expecting so happy enough with that. Think you are right about any non payment being deducted from prize money but SFA have to agree.

Rooney punted by Plymouth. Got to think that’s him done as a top level coach.

Whilst we were better on Sunday than previous game (which is an extremely low bar) we still created very few clear cut chances again. Not sure how we change that but we need to as losing can become a habit just as much as winning. No idea who starts but just need to find a way to win then get new players in. County seem to be very up and down form wise and were probably unlucky to lose in Dingwall earlier in the season. Hopefully we catch them on a dip. Not sure if going yet and no idea of score.

As long as we have a replacement coming in if he does go then to bothered.

Millwall appoint Alex Neil Can see him wanting Nisbet back.

Thing is Nilsen got a 10 day rest in middle of December with rest of team and seems to have come back worse. I am not sure a short rest will do him any good. He probably needs to have a longer spell out the team but cannot see Thelin doing that.

Going to go against grain here and say that we never looked like scoring today and United always looked like they would eventually get something.. Jimmy needs to get reinforcements in early in January or we could drop further down the league. Fact we cannot defend a throw in despite having all our players in the box is really concerning.

Sydney v Melbourne Victory been decent despite the red card. Sydney not putting game away until towards the end. Better crowd and atmosphere today.

Seen some wild team suggestions on line. McDonald was hopeless on Thursday and surprised to see folk suggesting sticking with him. Even wilder is folk suggesting bringing McGarry back into team. At least nobody is suggesting continuing with Ambrose who I think needs to go out on loan in January as he needs to be playing every week to try and develop his game. As much as I am not keen on Molloy and Rubi as a partnership at the back think we need to stick with it until we can get new players in. In midfield we again need to change something but Palaversa has made us worse when he came on in recent games. With Nilsen being booked again he has suspension coming up so not sure manager will drop him for this one so might be Shinnie who drops out with maybe Polvara coming in. I don’t think we can have Morris or Duk starting for this one as neither do enough defensively to support full backs which we will need in this game. Think it has to be McGrath and Keskinen wide. Duk has some of his best games through the middle with Miovski beside him so maybe try Sokler and him together for a couple of games in a 4-4-2. United in a good run of form so would expect this to be a difficult game even if we were still playing well. Given our collapse in form fully expect to lose. In Train then pub Away end Train back to capital 2-0 no dons scorer.

Just brought myself to watch highlights and McDonald looks even worse than he did at the game. Rubi was not much better. Hope this Latvian is decent. Devlin looks like he is playing injured as he wasn’t as good as he has and most of Killie’s good play came from his side. Not helped by Duk or Morris not bothering to track back admittedly but not his usual self. However main issue seems to be teams have figured out our plan A and at the moment we do not have a plan B.

My daughter had the Santa tracker on and we told her we knew people who would be getting presents when he arrived in New Zealand. Turns out she wasn’t far wrong when she asked if they would be up soon. Looks like you were.

Would disagree on Mackenzie. He and Devlin were our most consistent players prior to MacKenzie’s injury. The MacKenzie’s shite chat only started when it became clear he was leaving and not on back of poor performances.

McKenzie is still coming back from injury and not been as good as he was before it but needs a bit of time. McGrath was poor today but players who came on were not any better.

Maybe didn’t want to risk a player just coming back from injury on that carpet.

4-0 flattered us. So many of our players looked completely off it. Why anyone would start Ambrose after Saturday is beyond me. McDonald on his wrong foot was never going to work. As has been said subs should have been made at half time but not necessarily players who came on and off. Palaversa does not look a £700k player never mind a £7m one. Teams have figured us out and manger now has massive test ahead of him. I fear United may be passed us shortly.

No idea what to make of that other than I think I am going to hit the spirits

Mitov being back has got me feeling a little more positive but not much.

Think everyone in Europe knows Tribute Act are broke again so maybe best not to tell them we are waiting for cash from them.

Merry Christmas folks. Just about to work out cooking time for everything for dinner. 10 year old been up since half 5 this morning. No chance Inam staying awake through dinner.

Fucked if I know. I have been drinking since 9 am. What day is it now?

Chris Harvey reporting Mitov will be back for Thursday.

Dunfermline sack their manager.
