They nearly threw the game away in the second half today but they do look a good team so I can see where their “arrogance” come from. That said I also think that, on the whole, we have a team capable of knocking them out if things go our way.

Anywhere from 5th to 10th if we play decent, get the breaks and others crash and burn.

Dundee signing Carson is a bit of a strange one having just signed Norwich keeper Jon McCracken (a Wishaw boy) on loan. I’d have thought they will be paying a fair whack of his wage which I don’t think will be cheap and Carson will be on a decent wage so quite a bit of cash for one of them to sit on the bench seems crazy to me.

Reminds me of Stephen Pearson who left us to go play in India.

You are a fucking star.

Same as they and their arse cheek twins always do which is smash some of them up and their club will do what they always do by paying to get the damage fixed - it what Celtic and Rangers do

Must be some amount of South American teams that are linked to rangers/the OO.

To me the definition of a wage thief was the fucker who didn’t play for 6 month claiming a back injury but as soon as his contract was up fucked off up north and miraculously was fit enough to play again.

I understand the principle of the one off development fee or going for a sell on fee instead but I seem to recall a story a few years back about an a mature team from Aberdeenshire getting something like &100k for a player who they had as a kid who had been picked up by a pro club who in turn sold him on to an English club before they then sold him on again for big money and this was where the £100k came from. In short this makes me think that potentially we get some cash - all be it small amounts - every time the player is transferred.

I’m assuming that’s a development fee. Since he under 23 and we have offered him a contract extension, are we entitled to any further sell on fees at a later date or is it the £400k and that’s it?

Every year teams like us, with a limited budget, have to wait while players decide what offer to accept or hold out in hope of a better offer elsewhere. Some of these players are of a better quality but others just think they are. As frustrating it is for us, it must be worse for the manager & staff trying to get the deal’s done. Wether the guys already signed are good enough as starter’s remains to be seen but - while we try to persuade others to join us - I think it’s better to have them rather than scrambling around at the last minute picking from the leftovers.

It’s a night I won’t forget.

True but apparently talking shite on a forum does.

Agree, SOD was my MotM last night. The lack of substitutes after 60 minutes was worrying as we could all see that Livingston were getting on top and something needed changing - that frightens me for next season.

With that logic you will want rid of KVV as well then ‘cause at times he also gives that impression

You’re a sick and twisted person

You have read some of his jokes, haven’t you?

I’m not feeling it for anyone today, no one stood out and more than a few of them had mediocre to poor performances. Will think on it.

KVV will end up at Aberdeen no doubt

I think he’s worth signing if possible. The guys still learning and I think he will become a great asset to whoever signs him. If we don’t get him I think we run the risk that he ends up at one of our competitors and give us a torrid time.

Two chances to vote for Casey and Blaney not included - tut, tut weeyin

Two cheeks of the same arse.

Both of them were in the youth teams before he was let go when he was about 15 or 16 I think.

Watching the Barnsley Shrewsbury game bit of ex Motherwell interest - Devante Cole scored, Nicky Cadden also scored, got sent off and then MoTM. Then right at the end Ryan Bowman who had got booked then got sent off for throwing a player to the ground. 🤣
