Lafferty would be a great bit of business, a definite upgrade on the striking options we have at the moment.

I guess that means the loan deal is off then

FFS people moan when we give them to much respect, now you are moaning when we go at them with 3 up top, it's unreal. We scored 2 against the best team in the country who could probably take 5 off most teams in the league so people need to chill and accept we were 2nd best today but we gave it a go.

What's wrong with that tactic, Barcelona and Real Madrid have used it for years

Final score 1-0 Motherwell

It's currently 1-0 Motherwell, Jamie Semple after 17 mins

100 % correct, that's why the system is a nonsense and not fit for purpose, if it's not going to be applied in all levels of Scottish football then it should not be applied at just the too level,and even there it's not applied consistently to all clubs as we know. We have had a disciplinary system in place and working well now since organised football began its called the match officials, i.e. the referee and his assistants, so no need for a compliance officer and all the crap that goes with it. So unless all SFA member clubs decide enough is enough and take on the blazers at Hampden to get a structure in place fit for the modern game nothing will change, and they will continue to run the game to suit there own narrow agendas.

Sending a player out on loan usually means you are not in the plans anymore and will be gone when your contract is up, so PNE might not be too difficult to deal with. That said though would Moult want to come back, not sure, but I would be delighted if he did and SR could sort out a deal. I reckon he would fit in the current team well, knows where the goals are, Scott would learn from him, and we would have somebody up top to take advantage of any balls in from the pace we have on both sides now.

So unless they review every single booking and dodgy challenge over the weekend, how do they become aware of incidents they need to look at unless it been Broadcast and highlighted on national TV, it's trial by TV and the shite spouted by the alleged pundits. The whole system is rotten to the core, the ref penalised the tackle, a yellow card , that should be the end of it, then the TV judges discuss it agree it should be looked at, and hey presto, the compliance officer then decided it's worth a 2 match ban, it's nonsense. Will there be a consistent approach over the season , of course there won't be, but should anyone be surprised it's the SFA, incompetence and self justification is mandatory.

I am not having this " The plastic pitch makes us play badly " nonsense, lots of teams will go there and pump Livi, so stop making excuses for us having a bad game and not winning, we have won on the plastic at Hamilton, Kilmarnock, etc so it was a poor team performance at Livi nothing else, but at least we did not lose .

Yes the pitch might be shite but its not as if that's the first time any of them have played on plastic so blaming it for a poor performance is nonsense, lots of teams will go there and pump that mob. But that said if you are not going to win a game for whatever reason, make sure you don't lose it and we did that, so 1st game, points on the board another clean sheet and unbeaten, what's not to like, we move on to next week.

Does anyone know if Louis Moult is injured, he's not even in the PNE squad today?

Birmingham are winning 1-0

Another goal for Danny Johnson, that's 2 in 2 games now for Dundee Make that 3 in 2 games now,

Nah, he had his chance was breaking into the team and chucked it to go and play reserve at Brighton, and not every week either, we don't need him we already have much better options

Forgot about him,

Livi lost the backbone of the team over the summer with Kelly, Gallagher and Halkett leaving and they don't seem to have replaced them, I think they will struggle this year. So going for an opening day win for the well, 2-0.

7 years ago tonight we made our debut in the champions League, one of my proudest moments as a well fan. So a season that earns us another European adventure would be great, I think we will be top 6 but not sure if we can get as high as 4th.

Did we get a sell on clause added when he moved

Good article, the last sentence says all you need to know about him "Main went from slightly below average, to one of the worst strikers the league has seen in the past five seasons."

The 8 seeded teams for the last 16 are Ross County, Hibs, Livingston, Motherwell, Aberdeen, Celtic, Kilmarnock and Rangers,

Should that not read "habitat and refuge" ?

No but he would fall into the big target man with a proven goal scoring record category. We seem to have plenty pace down each side with Seedorf , ilic and hylton, so somebody to aim at in the middle might just be what we need.

All the chat online suggests Lafferty has been in talks with a team in Thailand, so I think he would be outwith our budget,

Sssh You are not allowed to want former players back, Wellup83 will be on your case, we need to move on
