Are you saying that current season ticket holders will get next season's games free of charge? I wasn't aware of that.

The club AGM will take place on 12 February by Zoom. For the year ended May 2020 we made a profit of just under £347,000. Good news indeed.

Yes, hes done well for us until recently and deserves his move, so long as he stays focused on us until then.

Its all very well having talented strikers but can they play together? We do lack a quality main striker. Often you can have good players but the mix is wrong. I assume that if we sign a striker that one will leave.

The pre contract agreement would be ripped up. As for a fee, how much is he worth to us in our battle to stay up? £300,00 +? Whatever the figure, if any potential buyer doesn't meet that figure then he stays. If a move seems likely in the summer and the extension clause is triggered, then I'm sure we could come to some agreement to benefit both parties, as we've done in the past with the likes of Scott MacDonald.

We have the core of a decent team but badly need some fresh blood in the form of 3/4 players, assuming no-one leaves. I'd like to see another central defender and a main striker up front. However its the midfield thats badly lacking. We need someone with pace there perhaps on the wing and need a bit more power in the centre. Campbell has gone right off the boil in the last month or two and Polworth, talented though he is, is contributing little. Bringing in fresh faces is all very well of course but we also need to ship some deadwood out to balance the books. The next 2 games will tell us and the new management team a lot. Has the "envigorated" team got the bottle to go up to Aberdeen and Dingwall and avoid defeat or better still collect a win?

One against Hearts?

GA mentioned this last week after the St Mirren game. He said that in such situations you look to your experienced players to drive the team out. He'll b epleased with the point , of course, but won't be pleased with aspects of the performance. We did show a bit more grit, determination and organisation today but there is still plenty for him to work on.

Good result all told and we're off bottom!

Who didn't see that coming.

Midfield has gone AWOL.

My thoughts too Allan. Make life more difficult for them and no silly mistakes.

Central midfield need to show a bit more fight and aggression - sitting too deep as you say.

We really need to defend the wings better. Too many needless crosses into the box.

A good start but we still look very vulnerable in defence.

Get in there!!

So, Long is still out and MacIver has returned. I don't think we'll miss O'Hara, at least not in midfield.Midfield looks a bit powder puff and lightweight. Still, players have the chance to impress.

100% agree. That would be irrelevant though. You can however ban players who breached protocols, as has already been done.

I doubt the league would be called so early. 5 games to go..yes, 17 to go...no. A point tomorrow or better still 3 is long overdue. No red cards please but thats not entirely within our control.

Why?

Another perfectly feasible and just solution would be to suspend the players who breached the protocol.

I think we all agree that we need reinforcements, and for many of us that included a winger. Time was and still is against us as the window closes in about a fortnight. However, I didn't think we'd move so quickly to bring someone in. I'd have thought that Graham Alexander would have waited until after today or perhaps Wednesday to assess the squad's strengths and weaknesses and make his first signing. Who knows what goes on behind the scenes. GA has made encouraging comments so far and we'll no doubt see more personnel changes in the next week or two.

I'm with you up to a point. The SPFL could have handled the situation better in that it should not have awarded the 6 points originally, until the issue was cut and dried and could have dealt with matters more quickly. However, it is clearly surprised by the SFA's panel completely overturning the decision. The reasoning set out by the original panel was very comprehensive and wide ranging and it will be interesting how the appeal panel dismissed and rebutted these arguments. This episode casts Scottish football, and in particular the SFA in a poor light and no doubt the Scottish Government will have been monitoring developments. Football has just shot itself in the foot. Although this whole episode leaves a bitter taste in our mouth, and will not be forgotten for many years, we now have to move on and focus ruthlessly on winning points.

Couldn't the SFA suspend the players who flouted the protocols? That would restore a measure of justice.

Yes Iain. We should keep a low profile though. There's no way we'd win a PR battle against St Mirren and by association, Kilmarnock.
