As far as the prize money is concerned, we definitely voted in favour of the change - even though we were in our phase of finishing best of the rest. I recall the club making a statement along the lines of it was likely to benefit us in the long term even if we took at hit when we finished 2nd.

Looking at their website, I'm guessing it's basically a clickbait site trying to earn affiliate cash by referring punters to join Bet355.

Looking at the Historical Kits website, the 5th Kings Own Scottish Borderers played in this kit from 1912-15, and they were one of the 2 teams that merged to form Queen of the South in 1919. So 2019 will the centenary of the club being formed and this, presumably, is a nod to that history. Here's the pic of their 1912 kit from that site.

"Hoped" to have it completed by the end of the week. Nothing against Robinson, but I don't remember many of his signing deadline predictions being on the money.

Don't forget Aberdeen put the dampers on various other initiatives over the years because they saw themsevles as the 2nd Force.

I miss the Jim Gannon days when he'd say we're bringing in a keeper and another midfielder on Friday and on Friday we'd announce the new keeper and midfielder. He might have been a borderline sociopath, but he could sign a player.

Need to remember that these days, games like this aren't like friendlies in the old days (of a couple of years ago) that came at the end of pre-season training. And they were bad enough to watch. There's a lot of double sessions and running at this point of the programme. Speed work and sharpness activities tend to come after that. Much like last season, we won't know much about how we're shaping up until the league kicks off.

Until we lose Campbell, Cadden and Frear at he same time, like we did last season, and then it might be just enough.

To be fair, given the massive number of new faces we brought in last year, the fact that we ended up with so few duffers (like Petravicius) is a testament to our signing policy. Even the top clubs do well to have a 40 or 50% success rate and ours must have been much higher than that. (Almost Gannon levels...)

Let it go.

Tried to watch it at the Little Mermaid bar, but the Ariel was broken.

The challenge anywhere inside a Disney controlled bar/hotel/retaurant is that Disney own ESPN/ABC and the matches are on Fox. They can be pretty ananl about not broadcasting a rival's programming. Hotels are likely to be the least strict, I'd guess.

Of course, you can be a non-executive director and still have a conflict of interest. Where I used to work we had to not only avoid conflicts of interest but "perceived conflicts of interest". As Bill Shankly used to say about the offside rule - "if a player's not interfering with play, what's he doing on the field?"

If it was, playing and training on grass instead of plastic should help.

I don't where Dundee Utd are getting the money to make these offers. Their parachute payments have run out, their main source of funding pulled the plug and the auditor last year talked about a "material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and therefore its ability to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.” They made a loss of £1.55 million in 2016, a further loss of £1 million in 2017. Oh, and they are still in the Championship. It can't all be funded from Andy Robertson's sell on clause.

I'm old enough to remember when people used to say Dunne was useless.

I wouldn't mind the hamburger menu being on the top right if the choices it displayed were also on the top right. Having to move all the way back across to the left of the page after you click it is a little clumsy.

Not sure that deal was ever confirmed, but seemed that was where he was headed.

Should have received his jotters a long time ago - for general incompetence while continuously downplaying the merits of our league.

He played against us when he was on loan at Hearts.

Not too concerned about Taylor-Sinclair yet. From what Robinson was saying "the English lads" hadn't been in action for about 10 weeks before they joined us, so are further behind in their fitness. Time will tell, I suppose.

It did. Even with the sponsor's logo it has a nice minimalist look to it. Very sharp.

Exactly what Robinson said - we were short a striker.

In the Robinson interview posted on Official Twitter today, he says he is still looking for a striker and hopes to have some business concluded by the end of next week.

There will be plenty of competitive games to hold your interest before the window closes.
