  1. He's on the record multiple times regarding his disdain for that playing surface, so fingers crossed.
  2. For what it's worth, the latest on MIller I'd be quite happy with that valuation, but we all know it's going to end up being "undisclosed" and a different fee quoted in every media outlet.
  3. I liked his goal at Tannadice where he sat down the defender then celebrated by jumping over him before he got up.
  4. That's my biggest gripe, and I have many when it comes to VAR. If they stick with it, let the ref make the call. Give VAR 20 or 30 seconds to review if needed. Can't tell? Then it wasn't clear and obvious, so move on.
  5. Still one of my favourites, but agree 100% it wasn't exactly accurate on the colours.
  6. Just need a malfunction of the technology and both teams agreeing to play without. Might look a bit suspicious when it happens at every ground every week, but worth a try,
  7. I was happy to share my views in great detail. tl;dr ditch it
  8. I saw that one. The yellow reminds of our Admiral kit from the 1970's.
  9. The votes have been tallied and the 2024-25 MOTM Player of the season is... Lennon Miller Very much a season of two halves for the runners up: Callum Slattery was second, thanks to his strong showing after his return from injury. Aston Oxborough and Ewan Wilson one point behind in joint third thanks to their form in the first half of the season. Tom Sparrow in 4th, closely followed in 5th place by Dan Casey. Complete results as follows: Lennon Miller 47 Callum Slattery 28 Aston Oxborough 27 Ewan Wilson 27 Tom Sparrow 24 Dan Casey 23 Stephen O'Donnell 21 Tawanda Maswanhise 19 Tony Watt 15 Andy Halliday 12 Marvin Kaleta 12 Liam Gordon 10 Apostolos Stamatelopoulos 9 Steve Seddon 9 Harry Paton 8 Kofi Balmer 6 Luke Armstrong 5 Davor Zdravkovski 4 Jack Vale 4 Kai Andrews 4 Sam Nicholson 4 Dominic Thompson 3 Moses Ebiye 3 Archie Mair 2 Dylan Wells 2 John Koutroumbis 2 Zach Robinson 2 Ellery Balcombe 1 Luke Plange 1 Paul McGinn 1 Shane Blaney 1
  10. Nothing like it, but apart from that, OK.
  11. Unless the pre-contract contains a "change of manager" provision, presumably.
  12. I see a few "by mutual consent" in the futures of some of those names.
  13. 63 goals against and -17 goal difference like? If we had conceded 10 or 12 less, we'd have been playing in Europe next season. I just don't see that happening with any combination we have on our books.
  14. I haven't seen many Macron 2025-26 examples yet, but how about this in amber, with the middle panel as the claret "hoop"?
  15. Even beside Gordon, Casey has struggled. As I have said before, I can see the attributes Casey brings to the team. He is full of energy and great at disrupting things further up the field, and can be a wrecking machine in the oppositon box at set pieces. Defensively, he is often out of position, loses his man regularly, and puts us back under pressure with his poor passing - either passing to the opposition, or making the wrong choice of team mate. It's not like we haven't given our central defenders an opportunity to prove themselves over the past few seasons. They have just continuously failed to deliver. I'm sure it gets inside their head too, and they all might benefit from a fresh start at a new club as much as we'd benefit from a new central unit. I honestly can't think of any combination I see line up on a Saturday and think "that looks solid"
  16. "this season the results of the team have not met the standards expected by the club." backs that up. I see Hearts have given McInnes a 4 year deal. That will be an expensive pay-off for them next summer.
  17. Moses has shown on various occasions that there is a player in there somewhere. Just needs a manager to unlock it on a more regular basis. He's our pound shop Darwin Núñez.
  18. Agreed - they played some decent stuff this season and were let down by some ropy defending. If someone sorts out that defence over the summer they'd be well in the mix for a top 6.
  19. Of course he is. He's never a central defender in a million years and only got wedged in there because we had zero other options. Casey on the other hand is supposed to be an actual central defender and has been responsible for shipping goals along with Blaney and even Gordon since he arrived. That's why we need a rebuild of the entire central defence. I promise now that I'm not going to mention a complete defensive rebuild again until the League Cup group stages.
  20. The whole defence sells goals and has done for at least the past 3 seasons. That's why it needs to be ripped up and rebuilt from scratch.
  21. I heard he was told to wait to be picked up outside the front door, but when the bus arrived he was caught half way down Fir Park street watching it drive past.
  22. Not even in my Top 5 worst. Looking forward to what Wimmer brings us next season. Not looking forward to the moans and complaints about the early season form in the League Cup groups when we are at week 2 of training.
  23. If you can't beat that starting lineup you probably deserve to be in the play-offs. Hope they keep Livi in the Championship, though. (Votes close on Tuesday night so get them in early.) Take your pick...
  24. I often think that when he's playing too. Not surprising we've brought in a few fringe players, but the question is will they bring more energy to the side on the last day or less. Would not have had Miller anywhere Dingwall in a nothing game when there's millions at risk, however low that risk might be.
  25. The answer to that is almost always "no"
