"Undisclosed fee"

To be fair, if I was the new gaffer charged with getting the first team sorted out, punting dead wood and trying to bring in new players all in the space of 10 days, the academy and the youth players would be low priority. Job number one is to make sure we aren't relegated. Job number two is "see job number one".

We've been a bit more creative in recent deals than just cuts of transfer fees.

Sounded to me like we have add-ons the same way we had with guys like Marvin Johnson & Kipré i.e. cuts of their future transfers etc.

They might be, however, if they don't get promoted this season.

Probably his wife's account.

That was a squad that I think also included John Gardiner, John Reilly, Derek Murray and Gordon Mair. So he was in good company.

Absolute scenes. And we only scraped a draw, didn't we?

I can only think he was signed as a Plan B to bring on and lump high balls at when we needed a goal. While I'm all for giving players time to bed in, they need to show something when they get game time, and like most people on here, I just didn't see that with White.

It's the "wage thief" nonsense that I don't get. If he was on a 3 year contract and playing in the reserves to see out his deal, I would get it. You might not like him as a player, but if a manager plays him 36 times in a season where we finished 2nd in the league, I'll need convincing he was thieving anything.

We won. Get over it.

He still has a chance at the Celtic job, though.

38 appearances in the side that finished 2nd is the kind of dud I'd love to see every week.

Aye, I think he just needs a break. With his U21 duties and every manager pointing out how he is always first to arrive, last to leave, and gives 110% every day, he's burning himself out. Sometimes a rest is the best option.

It feels even longer.

I'd better get back to my work now. 1pm kick-offs are bad for productivity.

Get in. The kind of grinding out a result we were crying out for.

I'm not sure about the "leadership on the pitch" chat. It's rolled out with "divisions in the changing room" chat any time a team is struggling to find form. First time I saw us relegated Joe Wark was the captain. I doubt we were lacking leadership on the pitch then. Likewise, more recently, when we were in the playoffs against Rangers. McManus and Skippy weren't exactly poor leaders. I'd much rather we just started scoring some goals.

The chances of reliable reative mid That's his only Premiership goal.

And yet 99% of posts on here would tend to suggest the opposite.

No, but a lot of us have endured seasons worse than this (including 2 actual relegations, one relegation avoided by reconstruction, one relegation avoided by Falkirk's lack of seating and 3 years in the First Division). We've also seen seasons where we struggled for 2 or 3 months, but did enough to turn things around. This team doesn't even rank in my worst top 10.

Running an Icelandic article through Google Translate, there is a brief obituary here.

That's right - it was against Killie at Rugby Park. He was so close to the goals, he actually had one hand touching the post. It was quite special.

Wiki has it confirmed from an Icelandic newspaper. Surprised he was only 70. I'd have pegged him as older (and less hair than his official picture)

Taking our chances would be nice. Otherwise we'll need to grind out a point.
