Ripley or Kennedy, and went for the latter... I also thought Moult had one of his quieter games given his recent high standards, but he still won the game for us. What a team.

"Michael, do you want to come back to Fir Park?" "Due to international transfer rules, I can't play for a Scottish club this season" "Ah"

Good ground control

... especially if he couldn't play for us anyway, I was about to say.

In a heartbeat, but any doubts I'd have are less about his age and more about would that be the right way to prioritise spending a limited wage budget?

Wish him all the best. That goal at Aberdeen was great.

When does this Scottish transfer window actually 'slam' shut?

Been saying that for years... glad someone else has noticed

Why do you say that? I realise we're guessing as to the terms and conditions of his loan to us, and of his move to Preston or wherever, but as I see it the loan has worked well for all parties. For MFC he came in to the first team and made a positive contribution. For Man Utd, they're presumably reducing their outgoings on wages (and / or getting a fee) for a player who's unlikely to get into their first team. For the player, he's shown himself capable of first team football at a decent level, and presumably got a good contract at the end of it. I'd much rather loans worked out like that than say like Jake Taylor's, where no-one has got much out of it.

My thoughts exactly.

Good day at the shops?

Very happy with that, pretty low risk (potential upside outweighs the worst that could happen?) and really really hope it works. He's looking fit.

Just saw a note on the official site re an auction for some of the strips... But clicked on the link and there's nothing there... Am I being a muppet, or is it closed already?

He was at the pre season games in Holland. Noticed the players getting weighed at half time.

"The 22-year old has signed initially until early January..." Perhaps it's with a view to signing a permanent deal later?

Maybe he's got a granny from Larne and is up for a call-up?!

Fletcher and McDonald is my bet

Arrived Amsterdam. Anyone else planning to take the train up to Rheden this afternoon?

I imagine getting Marvin on the extended (and presumably improved) deal so soon after joining us is also a good selling point for attracting other players: here's what can happen if you do well

Shall we start the countdown before he signs for us again?

I'd have thought the most valuable part of the shirt sponsorship is the TV and press photo coverage etc, where you reach lots of people. On the other hand, the visibility from seeing your logo on a few hundred shirts walking around Lanarkshire is probably limited... so why not at least offer the option of fans buying the shirts without a logo?

Great! it's magic listening back to those Rangers call-in comments with the benefit of hindsight. At the time they just make your blood boil. Anyway, if you're after a constructive suggestion... not sure how long it's going to be in the end, but there's maybe a bit of repetition in Baraclough's comments, so an opportunity to edit / reduce a bit?

... or do you mean "still at large"

On the Macron website (https://custom.macron.com/Pages/Sport.aspx) you can fiddle round with the templates and colours. For some reason I couldn't post an image, but you can come up with some pretty good claret and amber strips with a sash.

Always thought it hilarious when Aberdeen fans sang, "we hate Rangers more than you" at Celtic games.
