Mikaaaaaaaaa!

Was a fan of his effort and he was a good foil for Moult. If you want a Premiership level goal scorer, however, he was not the man.

Just watching the FA Cup highlights with Ryan Bowman getting a hat trick for Shrewsbury. What an absolute shambles of defending by Notts county to gift him all 3.

I'd have said Casey, but Butcher is also a good shout.

This all sounds a bit like the Dundee Utd model that was touted as an example to follow. Until they posted millions in debt and spent a few years in the Championship before getting promoted and relegated again. Ourselves and most (all?) of our peers have struggled to find the right balance for years. It's obviously not an easy problem to solve as nobody has cracked it yet.

When he was ready to move from Fir Park I said at the time that somewhere on the continent would be ideal for Turnbull. His style is tailor-made for leagues where they prefer passing and possession. Even if he ends up leaving on a free and we get nothing, I still hope he gets a move to a team that appreciates his talents. Maybe the recent success of other Scottish players abroad will encourage him to take the chance.

The entirety of December is more important than any individual match. 21 points up for grabs - I don't care if we are picking them up against Dundee or Rangers.

3 points off bottom, 7 points off a European spot, 24 games left to play. Any board putting on pressure at this stage needs to replaced with people that know something about football.

I agree these things always have to be put into context. When you put Brighton's finances into context, however, you can see how disastrous they have been. After they were promoted back to the EPL in 2017, Brighton managed to lose over £270 million in their first four seasons, putting them into the top 10 loss making clubs in Premiership history. They required a £427 million investment from chariman Tony Bloom to keep them afloat in tandem with a £37.3 million bank loan. It's not clear how much of that loss was invested in their youth development programme, but as part of their overall financial model it would be clearly unsustainable for a club like ourselves. Of course there are things we can do better, and like any business, we should be looking to improve every aspect year after year. Whether that's more data analytics, more aggressive contracts, different scouting methods or something else, it should all be reviewed on a regular basis and changes applied wherever needed.

1 year, according to the pedia that is wiki.

Airdrie were wiped out of existence in 2002. In their current guise they are a renamed Clydebank that has basically nothing to do with our original local competition. I appreciate others might feel different about it, but for me newBankies don't even register as a rival.

This was my point before VAR was introduced. If we have the same ref pool watching VAR it's inevitable the OF gets even more beneficial decsions. No way ourselves or Aberdeen would have been awarded those pens under identical circumstances. Also, if Celtic had been 1 - 0 up after 90, time added on would have been 2 mins. The more things change the more they stay the same. It's like the old saying in boxing. When you are fighting the home town favourite you need to knock them out to get a draw.

We were lucky the Celtic VAR didn't decide to disallow his goal for blocking.

Home to the The Spartans.

Wasn't just a good goal Obika scored today, he did some great blocking to make his chance.

I'd made my comment about the match in my MOTM thread. The rest of the time I was actually watching (and enjoying*) the game rather than posting about it. *Enjoy - to get pleasure from something

You're going to make another, in-game, doom laden prediction that turns out to be wrong?

I'm old enough to remember when we thought Butcher's return would help our defence. Make your choice...

Craft Beer night?

We could hire the guy that made the Cristiano Ronaldo bust

I'd be surprised if KVV has another season in Scotland where he scores 10 league goals. If you look at his stats, last season was very much an outlier. I'd be happy to see him back, but I'm not sure he'd be happy to be back with fans expecting him to replicate that form. And if we provide the same level of service we've been providing Mika, he'd be in perma-strop mode.

KVV's last season with us was lightning in a bottle. As much as I loved watching him, I'd be amazed if he manages another season anywhere that's even half as productive. Would still have him back, right enough.
