Someone on twitter is considering handing their seasons in for a refund because SOD has signed on again.
Being an arsehole is a fundamental requirement for the majority of X / twitter users, so no surprise there.

It's the first Monday after the expiration of many contracts. Should we expect a lot of action this week?
Depends on how proactive the recruitment team have been In identifying targets and setting up the deals. I hope there are a few incoming it's always good to get the business done early.

He's been injured for a while and I suspect he has been "trying his hand' at coaching and shown enough to get a coaching role. Maybe he's the one who has progressed Theo Bair and that's why he has been given the role but I don't expect that some posters will accept that as a possibility.
Improving Bair, would that be Obika passing on his vast knowledge of scoring loads of goals and top class striking techniques over the years, your right I'm not accepting that as a possibility.

You go first I might get an idea of what we are looking for

Tough audience.
Only my opinion, maybe harsh but very fair. 12 clubs over 16 years and only 86 goals in total, just over 5 goals a year average ie he's not very good.

I think that's quite harsh to be fair. It's clear that injury has hampered him. It's also clear that he knows it and isn't trying to play on
His injury record was well known before we signed him, so it should never have happened, hes contributed feck all.
He has been getting pelters on here on a regular basis, now it's awww poor John he's had to retire, as i said he's been retired since he signed.

Obika has retired and joins the coaching staff for the new season.
I thought he was retired when he signed for us, other than the equaliser at Parkhead he has contributed feck all.
I hope he's a better coach than player, he should call Stevie Woods and ask him how he's managed it.

Nothing can be that bad.
The thing that makes it even worse we made some really great players wear the thing (Martin, Coyne etc.)
To be fair it was the shorts that ruined that kit the top was ok, white shorts and it would have been OK.

agree - would prefer not to go for someone with a proven record of not scoring
I'd like to think we'd be making moves for some of the better strikers in the Scottish Championship - likes of Paton , 23years old and scored +20 goals per season. Appreciate may need a small signing fee .Nobody ever suggested we make a move for Bowman, it was just a comment on how I liked his style and application when he was at Fir park.

Talking of Moult and Lewis, I see Ryan Bowman was released by Shrewsbury Town. And no, I'm not.
Bowman was great for us, no nonsense front man put himself and his elbows about a bit I liked him.

What puzzles me is why he signed so quickly. I could understand if he resigned himself to being a backup at Motherwell after not receiving any worthwhile offers elsewhere, but he didn't even wait for his current deal to expire.
This suggests to me that he has possibly been promised something that made him forego other opportunities he might have had as a free agent this summer.
I agree, he's probably been promised he'll get his chance as 1st choice keeper and no doubt a wage increase as well, a no brainer for him if that's the scenario.

May 28th. Someone is getting a head start on the competition in the doomsday/naysayers championships.
To be fair it must be torture for them just now, season finished, transfer window not open no rumours about incoming players they can label as pish, so every chance for a whinge is taken.

Queens Park, Cove rangers, Edinburgh city, and Clyde would be the ideal draw for me.

First impression is that he comes across as a bit of a twat. I suppose that wouldn't make him unique in footballing circles.
What part of that article makes you think he is a "Twat", sounded like a man confident in his abilities to me.

But surely we can start saying that he's shite and a wage thief already?
I'm sure the usual suspects will be preparing their posts as we speak just in case 🤫

Both. Seems to be some substance to it, but it is a rumour.
It's not official until he's allegedly spotted buying his lunch at upper crust.

Dylan Easton rumours discussed and largely confirmed on Raith P & B thread.
You'd imagine PCAs will start to be confirmed after the end of the month. Transfer window opens on 14 June.
To be fair Easton looked ok in the playoff game yesterday, Raith were brutal but he was the standout.

My only real recollection of him was the free kick he scored in the dying minutes against the Midden in Paisley to win 1 0.
Scenes that day.
The very late free kick to score an away goal for us in Odense was my memory of him, lost a good watch in the celebrations that day.

Do you think he'll be wanting a move elsewhere if they stay up?
If he's available then as always it's down to the player, his family, cash on offer etc but if you don't ask you don't get.

Watching the playoff final, RC are crusing it, but if Simon Murray is available we should be after him, 22 goals this season now.

2024/25 Ins & Outs Discussion
in Club Chat

For me of the 5 players you mention only Mugabi would be shown the door, as he's a bombscare. The other 4 had their moments at times when they were poor but generally they were OK, especially McGinn and I thought Blaney after an extended run in the team was improving week on week.
If we sign a right back ie the Australian boy then SOD will be a very experienced back up. For me the biggest issue we had was a goal keeper more scared of crosses than Dracula, Kelly inspired no confidence in the defenders in front of him, I lost count of the number of goals we lost due to failing to deal with balls into the box.
So we're going to have a new keeper, at the moment it's Oxborough but whether he's no 1 or 2 is anyone's guess, but one who commands his area and ventures off his line will be a vast improvement
Let's see who we bring in to improve the defending and midfield before we get stressed about who we've re-signed.
