Hearts fans on twitter suggesting we are signing connor sammon (Don't shoot the messenger)

According to radio clyde, Robinson said the club did reject a bid from Grimsby for bowman and he hopes to have a new striker by the end of today.

Noticed from the highlights that Hartley had the armband despite McHugh starting aswell

Whoever it is, he doesn't play in Scotland as we are awaiting clearance from the relevant national association according to flow

Is he not under contract at bari with fiorentina trying to sign him? Would be delighted if this was wrong though and he was the man.

Robinson said the target can get around the pitch. Unless Allan Campbell has a burger attached to his back at all times then Adam ain't getting around any pitch.

Start with england c internationals based in the north east

Robbo saying we are 99.9% certain to sign a creative midfielder. Also says he has real stature, so fingers crossed its not ali crawford and is more like bigi on steroids.

Steven Saunders signs for Livingston

According to Derek McGregor from the sun plummer broke his leg in Tenerife and is out for the season.

Exactly my thoughts on it, but put far more eloquently than I could manage.

Ffs hope its only a 6 month deal At 63, at least hes got a bus pass in him

That's where I disagree, if he is able to at least hold the ball up that will be an upgrade on Fisher. If he can then hold it up and link the play then he'll be an upgrade on big bowman too. I still believe there could be a player in bowman if we can somehow disable his homing device that leads him to the corner flag

Well accidents will happen

Did Willie Falconer miss a penalty on his debut or am I imagining that? Oh for the days before the internet of going to Fir Park under the floodlights and hearing on the radio on your way to the game that you had a new striker. I still remember the buzz I got when I heard we had signed Tommy Coyne on the way to the game

Brilliant we are being taught about class and dignity by the guy who comments about other teams player's even when his mob aren't even involved in the game. It would appear we have rattled brenda

I had the goals of the season video from that year and that goal actually got given the title of goal of the season beating a few crackers on the way. As a 9year old that was the first thing I'd seen us 'win' luckily I didn't have to wait too long for that to change.

Voted for dunne today just because if there is a time to have your most assured game for the club a semi-final at hampden would be fairly near the top of the list. Also a lovely assist for king louis's second. Lets be honest moult and carson were the top men with honourable mentions to mchugh and hartley

And followed up by big bowman who was about 5yds behind him. I said this at the game that typifies the hunger and desire we have had so far this season.

Fair do's, like I said earlier I respect your opinion as your view normally coincides with my view of a game but you seem to be focusing a lot on the negatives this season, which so far in my opinion hasn't been as bad as we have previously witnessed. Yes there are still the frustrating individual errors at the back, we seem toothless up front without a fully fit moult but for the first time in a while I feel we have a manager who actually has an idea of how he sees us playing as opposed to Baracloughs lets sign as many strikers as we can policy and McGhee's similarly ludicrous ploy with defensive midfielders. Now whether Robinson can get us playing that way or whether he will fail to get any improvement remains to be seen but I see little tiny glimmers of hope that there is the potential to have a decent season.

I have a dastardly theory

Not having a go here as I respect your it's your opinion but have you given steelboy your password recently. Normally after most games I come on here and have a look at everyone's views as we all see the game differently, and for the past few years I've usually (not always) agreed with yourself and Andy P's summaries as neither of you could be classed as happy clappers or pant wetters to use everyone's favourite steelmenisms but everything appears to be a negative at the moment. It's absolutely your right to voice these opinions and I respect that but it seems like you have a real downer on the club and especially Robinson's management at the moment. Again I appreciate that you are worried about the future of the club as you feel we are going backwards but I genuinely don't think we have been anywhere near as bad as we were last year under McGhee's shambles. Anyway back to the game, Carson's red card has to be slowed right down to see it was a wrong decision so I have sympathy with the officials on thay one, McHugh looked like a red to me and Dunne's is just a joke.

Craig moore gets a hat-trick for ayr at Albion rovers

In todays Scottish sun Robinson says the midfielder is 99.9% signed but he won't be announced until next tuesday at the earliest as he's on holiday

What worries me is this much talked about scouting system that we seem to have decided is the way forward. I'm not saying its been a total failure but I don't think its worked out any better(in fact i'd say its been worse) than using traditional methods of actually spotting a player rather than some sort of moneyball rip off. Interesting to note that as far as i'm aware our one really good signing in the summer (McHugh) wasn't scouted using this system and was in fact recommended to the manager by his then assistant who is now of course our manager. This was from an interview that Robinson did as Oldham manager when he talked about how he would have made McHugh his first signing if he hadn't already told McGhee about him.
