Page turned the day he left. Let it go.

If he can find us another Mika Biereth, I'm OK with that. I doubt it's too difficult for a scout to identify individuals that suit different managers' preferences, so while I'm not against a change, I'm not sure it would make a whole lot of difference. Especially with the data driven approach clubs like to take these days.

We dodged a bullet as no doubt Rangers would have insisted on jnstallsments and then stiffed us when they were liquidated.

Ben Hall and Henri Anier made up for that shortfall.

No doubt. I'm under no illusion that Miller or Johnston will get any game time, but from a selfish perspective just being in the squad should add a few more quid to Miller's value.

Max Johnston back in the squad too.

He was, but as he was young academy product and under 21 it meant, if the clubs were agreeable, we could make that kind of deal I believe. Else, they would use the dreaded formula to give us a development fee. Or I could be a mile oot.

Didn't McCormack make us a few quid too? Kipré did I believe. And a big move for Max Johnston likely will. Not sure about Turnbull.

True about add-ons. I was thinking more about initial fees. I agree 10 million is nothing to EPL clubs, but given that Mika left Arsenal for 4 million there can be quite a of variation in valuations.

10 million likely too high, but 4 million is defintely too low.

I'm starting to think there must be a version of Winter Wonderland I've never heard of.

Brilliant story.

My biggest fear that season was when we won the away game against Celtic shortly before the cup semi. I was concerned we wouldn't win two games in Glasgow on the bounce. When Ferguson hit the bar in the first semi I thought that was our chance gone. Thankfully, I was proved very wrong.

Two wins, one draw and one loss, in our league games against Celtic that season too. One draw and win against Celtic in the Cup. Not too shabby.

The way UEFA and FIFA are hellbent on expanding every competition, it won't be long until East Fife are qualified to play in Europa 2.0 Challenge Trophy League Medal Shield.

But Barry does just enough to be appointed on a full time basis

Would have been great if he stayed longer, but it was ridiculous he was even an option for us. Even as a loan he should have been at an EPL club.

Porter was very good and another example of needing a bit of time to find his feet. A good fit for our team at the time, and the Scottish league. And a nice bit of business when we sold him on. He was also one of those players we like to sign who had a record of injury problems, but in this case the risk paid off. The fact that Levein had knocked him back for Dundee Utd was just a bonus. Not in the Coyne, Pettigrew, Moult, van Veen, Higdon bracket, but not far off.

We want to stay on the right side of the law here people, so the less KVV trial related chat the better, until everything is resolved.

I'm unimpressed (but not surprised) with his zero goals for Kille and St Mirren. No comment on the charges, and we need to keep it that way on here to avoid any potential legal issues.

Maybe submitting a job application.

Next thing you know they'll be using our ticket money to pay their own players' wages. What a shower.

Did Robinson ever manage to "earn the right to play football"? I'm glad Wimmer looks to be in the "lets play our game straight from the kick off" camp and lets the opposition deal with that instead.

Halliday said on one of his many podcast appearances that part of Wimmer's approach is to adapt formations for different opponents. And, in fact, against Rangers, he changed our midfield formation after 15 minutes of watching the game.

To be fair, though, it was SK that quickly figured out how a formation to get the best from him. He'd scored 4 in the 15 games before SK took over and scored 16 in the fourteen games after he took over.
