Not unless it was Dempster who recently tweeted the wrong time for this window to close. I didn't, however, expect anyone to take what I posted seriously. I actually hate the window and think it's only 2nd to the Bosman in messing up our game (maybe 2nd equal with all seated grounds). Idiotic rules and fake excitement.

Unless he has another club lined up. Then he could take a less than full pay-off from us and pick up another wage at the same time. Mutual Consent, will mean there has been some kind of pay-off though.

Or he's just showing off that he might not know when the window closes, but he has learned the rule about English loan spells.

Although they would get full points for 'Vexatious' in the Countdown Conundrum round - so that would even out.

Which is a plus, because then we can't resort to the "hoofing it up the park" strategy.

Not many prospects are made available in January. McGhee said we were short on experience and that is what he'd be looking to secure this window. As for selling - nothing yet, but we have made a dent in the wage bill.

Not only was he going to the MLS, but I heard from a reasonably reliable source that if the move happened, he was intending to up sticks and move the family there too.

There is a Hearts v Motherwell game on youtube where there are so many ex-payers on either side it looks like the teams just swapped jerseys..

Wikipedia says he signed a 3 year contract at hearts in June 2014.

Nicely fits the bill.

Chinese league is starting to throw around large wads.

Aye, that's a decent amount, but the kind of value any SPFL team should be demanding for a player at that level.

In general, at least for a team like ourselves, good players aren't available in January - unless it's on a pre-contract for the following season.. That's why I never have high expectations at this time of year.

Regarding video replays, apart from adding multiple stoppages to the game the bigger reason they would fail is that the same numpties making the decisions would be reviewing them. And refs never like to criticise other refs.

And that's why I have just a tiny bit of sympathy with the refs - only a tiny bit though. The behaviour of some players with their diving and moaning and general cheating makes it more difficult than it should be for the refs. And that starts with the managers. Still a ridiculous decision, though.

I would hope the GM (but then there was the Mike Grella affair)

The level of performance the last couple of games has been decent, so if we maintain (or improve on) that, we should be moving up the table.

Do you ever get any pleasure from the football?

That's the main reason I don't like left footers playing on the right (or vice versa). Any half decent defender will keep them on the outside and make them less effective.

The team is in the NASL - a 12 team second US tier. It's probably not as high quality as the current Scottish Championship, so not a bad place for him to be.

He plays for a second division US team.

Would be unusual for us to sign someone whose name was mentioned in the press, but hopefully we see some activity today.

If you want another made up rumour, Islam Feruz, released early from his loan at Hibs, is coming in to replace Clarkson.

Well the experienced midfielder isn't going to be Kevin Thomson.

Wright's perfect reverse pass and Walker's dummy stick in the memory. Was never a Paul Smith fan, but I was that night. The other thing that I remember is Gahagan's golden opportunity in extra time. Then it went to pens...
