It is after five o'clock so pour yourself a large one and get your online banking loaded up.

If you're not happy with what you find, phone a locksmith  

I don't think locksmiths deal with online banking, it's mainly if you're locked out of a physical door.

Following on from the Caravan Park sponsors of training kit the gift that keeps on giving have released these strips.

 

That purple mess isn’t their keeper strip it’s actually their away strip. 

That's a lot of crack being smoked at boardroom level

I've been on an emotional journey with this shirt, and have decided I like it enough now to pay £15 for a fake-almost-real version.

Ryan Duncan

Adam Emslie

I don't think Emslie will be getting a game. I reckon we might also try and find another position for Duncan. 

Get this lad signed, he looks like the Swedish Ryan Hedges.

 Not overly perturbed about this to be honest. I've never been massively impressed with him when I've seen him play.

Aye, I think there's probably a consistency issue with Mulligan, but he definitely has the potential to be good with a bit of direction. It's also another Scottish player, of which there are slim pickings at the moment it seems.

Josh Mulligan joining Hibs from Dundee according to press.

Would have like him at Dons so bit disappointed with this. 

Aye, a decent bit of business for them. Looks a good player, albeit one that might need a bit of coaching and strict instruction.

The more I see it the more I'm inclined to think it's alright, and I think it'll look great when we add the League Cup to our trophy collection.

The strip is the only thing standing between us and silverware in my opinion.

Home top supposed to be out tomorrow and unfortunately my wife and daughter are both in Aberdeen tomorrow so if it’s any good will be an expensive day for me. They are already talking about going straight to club shop from train station. 

For less than the cost of two strips, I can lie down on the train tracks before they enter the city.

Well there's also a Finnish defender and a Montenegro international potentially joining the trip to Portugal too...  

Like a couple of new signings.

The bollocks about ending extra time that we hear about very regularly (and will likely happen), is just that. Nine men trying to hold on for thirty minutes is great fun. The tension in the stadium for the fans is second to none (well, maybe penalties). We experienced that in the cup final, and it was a big part of the experience. 

Good end to the 90 in the Germany v Italy game. Extra time with Italy down to 9 men, equalising with a beauty of a free kick with the last kick.

10 man Dutch win 1-0 putting Portugal out. 

Watched the second half, the Portuguese were pish. Like watching the Tims against us in the cup, totally toothless.

Pretty sure there would have been "Miovski to..." stories lined up in case we had drawn Celtic or Sevco as our opening game rather than Hearts.  A Hearts-Hibs derby on the first day would be "Hibs considering Shankland", and so on...

Bait and click.

If that was the case, surely they could have added a bit about us being in for shankland too?

By all accounts did well in League Two with Barrow, be interesting how he does with the step up. Despite how much Scottish football fans bristle at the suggestion, the majority of League One is probably on a par with the majority of the Scottish Premiership.

Okay, Derek Adams.

I get a free ticket to the Ipswich game apparently, for paying for a season ticket during COVID. Good work the club. I would have boycotted that English pish had I had to pay, of course.

He was a Glass/Robson era signing wasn't he? Seem to remember him being brought in as a replacement for Ryan Hedges and the result being assists for Ramirez completely drying up and Ramirez being accused of downing tools because his close friend Glass (who he hadn't met until 6 months prior) got sacked.

I could look on the internet, but I refuse. I thought he was a January signing of McInnes' last season. Maybe on a pre-contract, or was he injured or something and didn't actually play under McInnes? I thought Hedges left under McInnes too, so I'm probably just a year out on all of it.

Miovski isn't worth (to us) the money it would take to get him, let alone what he'd be looking for in wages. Even at a modest £10k per week you'd be looking at money that could and should be used to strengthen the entire squad rather than spent on one player. Fair enough if a no9 was the only missing link between us and winning the league but that's hardly the case.

I've said it before but finding the next Miovski is the job, not bringing the old one back. Sorry to be the boring realis

Agreed. Not just all that though, our model is based on selling players, and Miovski would hopefully have been a great advert of what we can produce. I think Girona could be making a mistake by getting rid of him, and hopefully another club of similar stature take a punt and get the best out of him. It's quite like the Ramsay situation for me. Both players were the pinnacle of their respective departments, and they've both gone on to fail (so far, plenty of time for both). We've obviously had Ferguson as a success, McKenna, Ramadani and so on, but it'd be worth a lot, in terms of reputation, to be churning out these success stories with regularity. A successful Miovski would allow us to demand the same or more for signings in future. I don't doubt that Miovski's high fee was influenced by the success of Ferguson and Ramadani for example.

Is Vinnie the only player left from the McInnes era? Was McInnes still here when he signed? Obviously, discounting Shinnie, who was then wasn't here, and is again. We've got zero long term players once Shinnie returns.

McGarry to Brisbane confirmed. No loss. 
 

 

They obviously turned down the BOGOF deal that we offered with Ambrose thrown in. Shame. Good to see us getting players shipped out. Ambrose and Jensen departing would be good to see, alongside Vinnie. That'd leave us in decent shape to be picking up the 6-7 players we'd expect to see in, even with a few of those being pish.

Think your being kind there. I think lad is an athlete with almost zero footballing ability. Probably fit right in at St Mirren. 

Aye, I am! I meant to say really useful player, rather than good. He's strong and fast. Get him doing one thing repeatedly and he could be an asset. Get him to be aggressive and he'd be even better. Robinson might beat that into him. He's got previous.

Jayden Richardson signing for St Mirren.

He's going to be brilliant against us isn't he?

He could be a really good player. Has all the attributes to be, but he just looked entirely lacking in confidence and very nervous. A real rabbit in the headlights. I wouldn't be surprised if he turned out fine at some point in his career, maybe even under Robinson.

I thought Vinnie was starting to look okay under Thelin just before the injury so a bit surprised he is being allowed to go.

He was improved, certainly, and he definitely seemed to be putting in the effort, but still didn't have the fundamentals. Technically no worse than Okkels I guess, but not as good positionally. Guys like him should be part of the churn of the system. A lesson McInnes never learned. You'd like to think that if we signed a winger that we thought was good, then the minimum we'd get is someone that fills a squad like Vinnie. We don't need lots of them.
