No shit, Sherlock. That’s me told. I guess I’m not qualified enough as a fan or have enough time-served perspective to be able to offer an opinion as a supporter. That’s not what I wrote. I've discussed at length my dislike of the arrogant Alexander on this forum. Keep up. Good for you, but we’ve already discerned above that we’re not the same. Living the dream.

Grow up.

Because I won't stop supporting the club I've followed for 30+ years just because the current manager and the majority of the squad are crap. Most of them and the manager will be gone soon enough.

One swallow does not make a summer.

If he does, he'll be signing his death warrant at the same time, so let's wait and see how smart he truly is.

Absolute shite. See you all in August for more of the same.

Nice goal, but too little too late.

Their first goal comes from a cross that the RWB should've prevented, but we've got an attacking midfielder playing RWB for reasons only known to that genius Kettlewell. Then the crossed ball should've been cleared by a competent centre-half, but for some reason, Kettlewell decided to put Mugabi back into the starting lineup today. The less said about the Mugabi-Kelly clusterfuck for the second goal, the better. This shitshow so far typifies this entire season, and for as long as we have Kettlewell at the helm, we'll see the same defensive frailties next season. We may score freely at times, which is commendable, but it's clear that he doesn't know how to set up a team to defend or how to get the best out of the average players available on our budget.

Because that ref is a clown. He also missed an obvious corner for us at 40 mins when the defender blocked Bair's shot.

The entire backline can GTF after today. The club also needs to employ a defensive coach.

3 clean sheets in 38 league games is appalling. The players and coaching staff should be embarrassed.

Mugabi opening the barn door wide for Clark.

Nicholson at RWB is classic Kettlewell.

Clean through on the keeper, made an arse of it, and dived. VAR caught him. Hilarious.

Looks like a tactical change today.

I’m not sure we need another 32 year old midfielder. He’s also got another year left on his contract at Partick.

Let’s hope County or St Johnstone beat them in the play off final as we don’t want Raith’s plastic shite in the Premiership.

I should've caveated my point to acknowledge that the new WS board are trying to affect positive change, which represents a significant improvement on the visionless status quo before them. However, even as a long-term WS member, I think these new efforts, whatever they may be, could be in vain given the number of paying members and the associated monthly income generated for the WS. An ideal scenario would be a deal between an external investor and a revamped WS, with the latter retaining majority ownership and presenting a sustainable vision. That's perhaps wishful thinking, however. We've all been discussing this for weeks, so let's hope we get some clarity or an update following the season's conclusion.

Yep, this is it for me as well. I’m sure I wrote somewhere here that it seems the external interest has given the WS a kick up the arse, but that it’s concerning that it’s taken them until now (when under threat) to attempt to devise an improved funding/membership strategy to benefit them and the club.

A one-legged Slattery would’ve performed better than Halliday has this season.

I'm not one to buy into requiring a good pre-season argument unless a player missed it, but Halliday had a pre-season with Hearts last year. His stats from the first half of this season show that he was mainly either 'on the bench' or 'not in squad', which begs the question of why did SK think he was worth bringing in on loan then, and his performances since joining on loan haven't been great. It's clear to me that he's finished at this level and his signing for next season raises more questions than it does inspire hope. Maybe he'll step back or focus on coaching or become Obika 2.0. Who knows.

New goalie and defence requeired.

Erik Barmack has been posting tweets of himself and his family following the games from the US on MFC TV, so I assume he's still interested, but the NDA prevents either party from reporting anything further. On the Well Society proposal, I can only assume they're either still trying to pull a rabbit out of a hat or are busy focussing on the Live the Dream event.

Check the first post on this topic.

You'd like to think that a top-flight manager would consider that before signing a player on a PCA without seeing them perform on their initial loan spell first, but I guess it's a bit too late for that now. Tl;dr - all evidence points to Halliday being past it at this level, yet we've signed him anyway.
