It's clearer than what is publicly available. That's all I'll say.

Knowing a couple of people at the council it's not as simple as moving up the percentages. They've got a guidance framework but every game and ground is looked at across loads of variables and each council will be the same. We luckily have a decent relationship with them too. Things like total actual capacity, space for players and staff, actual number of fans, entry and exit points to stadium and surrounding approach etc, space within stadiums and different stands, will more people likely travel by car or public transport, previous fan behaviour,l and previous club behaviour.in the pandemic.To name but a few.

I know you aren't a fan of O'Hara but I'm not sure why you are mentioning him here? I like both lads to be honest. 100% agree on what Grimmy brings to the team in that respect. Been saying the same myself for a while - all the way back to the cup finals season. When he's on point and driving us forward from right back it's great and opens up a lot. I do like O'Hara when he's on song and played correctly too. The latter being the most important point. Robinson, for me, shifted him about to much as some sort of Donnelly V2 in his own eyes. But I don't see him as someone who drives us forward like Grimmy does at his best - which it kind of, I think, looks like your suggesting other have said.

I think that was maybe the case last year when we were in complete lockdown. But, as OTF, said there are quite a lot of new protocols and exemptions now in place for travelling while working since the original lockdown. However, there may be some players that just would prefer to stay closer to home during this time - can defintley see that. Either way we should have a scouting network covering down south and up here. Feels like we do have both in play given recent signings but I could be wrong. As an aside, choking for a proper player rumour here to keep me going.

I'm happy with us taking our time and getting the right players over the next few weeks. We were very early in doing business last year, from memory, and that didn't exactly pan out as well as hoped.

I can't help but think one of Lamie/Mugabi will start a lot and one of Crawf/Maguire/Donnelly too.

Will be interesting to see how it pans out with GA...that's a few times youve hinted that he might not be here for the long haul. :-)

Bob Malcolm will take some beating in my opinion.

Knowing how Billy Bowie operates I wouldn't be too hasty on jumping fully on the side of Killie here.

Why was it taken down?

I'd rather we have Gallagher in the team for the remaining games regardless of the contractual/injury chat. He's out best central defender so what's the point of shooting ourselves in the foot to send a message or whatever. Especially if it's to play a loanee from Blackburn, who isnt very good, in front of him.

Gallagher was back running Sunday/Monday so I'm hoping we do see him.

In regards the chat on the injury list on the website. I do like the fact that it's there and keeps us, as fans, up to date. However, I can also imagine the management team want to keep some things under wraps so the opposition can't work out from a quick look on a public website who is defintely out ahead of the match. I'm sure the opposition have other ways of finding the real info out (contacts, ex players etc) but why make it easy? In addition it has itself brought unwarranted criticism from fans when something changes in a players rehab. e.g. "How come he was meant to be back in December and now it says March? Something no right there..must be something going on" A big part of me thinks they should just ditch it to save the hassle of folk who get ragin at them on Twitter because there hasb't been an update for a couple of hours.

Big Mugabi out for the foreseeable seems to be doing the rounds. 6 weeks+ or so. Unfortunate for him/us given he was just settling in to a groove... if that's accurate.

Aye that's an odd one with Palermo right enough! Soccerbase usually quite reliable. Hitting double figures for Burnley and Rangers about a decade ago, Palermo while in Serie B ...still maintain its a bullet dodged imo when you take into account his reputation and age.
