New Douglas Park right next to where the original stadium though, so location can't really be blamed for their poor attendances. Arguably the fact they spent years groundsharing with Clyde and where ever else had a bigger impact, possibly along with the fact it's not that long ago they were a shambles in Division 3 after the players going on strike. That may have had a bit of an affect on crowds too. Not, that I disagree that a poorly planned move to The 'Craig would be disastrous. The most important part of the would, perhaps, be getting the ground as close as possible to the new train station being put in the and having the Leccy Bar and JD's moved up as well.

Aw fuck!

If they don't havea Champions League game in the weekend before our game then they must have one during the weekend after we play them, so they might still be inclined to make a few changes. EDIT: Aye, they are at home to Valencia on the Wednesday.

Noticed an advert somewhere today for a deal Scotrail are doing with Sainsburys. When you do your shopping in Sainsburys you get a voucher to travel anywhere on Scotail for £18 return. Didn't look at the terms and conditions so not sure what the minimum spend is before you qualify for the offer, but might be worth checking out.

Making a last minute decision about heading up. Is much of a walk from the train station to the city centre/decent pub then onto the stadium?

It's not a problem confined just to that one school, seen the same senario played out plenty of times. It seems to be a national trait for some reason, even to the point that at a conference someone put the question across to Billy Stark, (just after his appointment at U-21 manager), whether Xavi and Iniesta would have made it through our system and his answer was 'No' due to their lack of height and physicality.

Or, just maybe, the fat bastards could not go near the kiosk and avoid stuffing their face for 90 minutes.

He could still move abroad, but I think if there was anything in the PSV story something would have happened by now.

We were always going to be struggling after the effort on Thursday unless we made major changes, but that wasn't going to happen. How Lasley was still standing at 90 minutes today is beyond me. Knocked his pan in again today. Couldn't get lifted for today's game after Thursday so not that bothered to be honest.

All from a simple ball right through the middle. Joke!

Aye, and look where it got us. If Gordon Young (and guys like him) are looking to get into first team management maybe they should start in the lower leagues and work his way up. Nothing against the guy, I just don't want another rookie boss anywhere near us again. McLeish, Davies, Black and Malpas have taught us that they are best left alone.

Just a wee bit of info on the dugout farcas I noticed get a mention on Twitter:

That's the one bit of your post I disagree with. I agree that he wasn't helped by their antics (and I think Hateley was at him to let him it it too.) BUT, see c***s that are too fucking interested in what the goalie is doing and staring him out when running up to hit their penalty rather than focus on the ball and putting their laces through it. That really gets on my tits, especially when it's with 5 mins to go in a do or die European game. Aside from that I thought Murphy had a cracking game along with Saunders, Lasley and...well, the rest really. Everyone gave their all, it just wasn't to be. Fucking dejected.

Utter pish. She doesn't have to explain anything. Probably the only reason she hinted towards the deal that fell through was because, like me, she was probably sick of the sad acts like you wetting themselves over the fact that because they hadn't heard anything about any deal then there must not have been anything happening. She also must have been pretty certain it was all but a done deal, which I think quite a few on here understood to be the case as well, unfortunately there was a last minute hitch. Not exactly the first, or last, time that has happened, whether it be a sponsorship deal, a player signing or anything else. If she hadn't come on to mention about the deal then you would have been throttling her about the usual lack of communiction issue from the club, so she tries to give everyone as much info as she could at the time to save you from assuming the foetal position and rocking back and forth for weeks until something was finally signed, sealed and became public knowledge. It's not hard to figure out that the 'unique and insirational' deal (or whatever she called it) was alluding to the failed Sport Relief/Chooselife deal. But no doubt if that had gone through you would have been up in arms about the fact the club had taken money from a charity to have their name on our shirt rather than letting them use the money for something 'more appropriate'. Get a fucking grip.

Reynolds is having a shocker so far. Better get his fucking act together pronto.

Pretty sure JAXX was £400k for the 2 year deal, which was (and probably will be for a while) the biggest sponsorship deal the club has had.

Not any more.

That's the route I was checking out yesterday. Trains leaving from Aarhus to Odense pretty regular, 2/3 an hour, journey takes 1 hour 45 mins or so. I assumed that was just a direct train, though I didn't check that. £33 a ticket

Straight shoot out between Craigan and Reynolds. They were immense. Opted for Craggs, thought he just edged it.

You must have some life, if coming on here and greeting about lack of info on a sponsor is all you've got to moan about.

I'd rather not, thanks very much. Impressed by him so far though.

We scored a penalty?

The club did not want to be the first ever not to have a replica strip available to purchase before the start of the season. Simple as, really. The club would have been frustrated at the amount to sales they were losing out on, as the last few weeks would generally have been the busiest for shifting the strips due to people buying them for holidays and the European games etc. And like many have mentioned there is a deal in place, but the nature of the deal, and those involved, mean it's not been a straightforward set-up.

I've been saying for a while now I think it's a certainty he'll go to Blackpool. They've had cheeky bids for Steve Saunders and Garry Kenneth knocked back in January, so are clearly in the market. Their main centre half just now, Ian Evatt, is solid and doesn't let much go past him, but he's lacking a bit of pace and Reynolds would be the ideal player next to him to help out a bit in that department.
