I'm 50/50 about this news. Stephen O'Donnell has been ok at best but prone to making errors. To be fair he's needed more midfield cover in front of him.

McGinley has been ok despite picking up a few injuries. Its been a tough year for him off the pitch and he deserves a chance to prove himself.

I hear what you say but from our perspective will Hearts be any stronger than Accies have been this year (0 points out of 9 so far for us). If Accies go down of course.

Since Partick's departure from our top league, St Mirren have replaced them as media darlings. Maybe their proximity to the HQs of the BBC and STV has something to do with it.

Yes, common sense.

A poor performance but the important thing was the result. Overall a feeling of relief. I'll be glad when we gain enough points to finish 10th or preferrably above. Hope Roberts injury isn't too serious. Anyone know what's wrong with Watt?

Just a random throwaway comment Ian. However, I'm like you and have stopped looking in for a wee while now. Even the Well thread has degenerated somewhat. A few decent posters though

St Mirren's goal to come from a wrongly awarded penalty.

Yes, Foley has signed on a short term deal, NOT on loan.

Not sure to be honest. Irrespective of the rights and wrongs, and indeed advisability, of this particular case and post, if the player himself had posted that he'd be in deep trouble.

St Mirren penalty?

We got off to a slow low key start but after 30 minutes or so we began to come good. Overall, a professional performance and thats all we can ask at this stage. No failures in what was a decent all round performance. In truth it could have been 8 or 9. Credit to Formartine United for plugging away and keeping it clean. The bottom line is that we progress, and hopefully our confidence has been boosted going into post split games.

Great goal by Campbell

No yellow card for booting the ball away?

Formartine playing pretty much how we should have expected - 11 men behind the ball on a tight pitch. We're playing well below our best but Lawless is showing up well.

Do you know for an absolute fact that they are conspiracy theories?

Agree 100%. Both Mugabi and Crawford are ok as squad back ups but not as first picks. We do need to bring in some new blood of a slightly higher calibre. I also have concerns over the goalkeeper position. I like Trevor Carson a lot as he's a top goalie at our level. But, is he now too injury prone?

Any views on the possible line up for tomorrow? Should Gallagher (lack of game time?) or Mugabi come back. Any possibility of some long term injured players, like Donnelly, making an appearance from the bench? A chance for players like Lawless to start? Maybe time to give a youngster a chance? Formartine United have hardly played in the last year so you'd imagine they'll be fired up but a bit ring rusty. We should probably keep the core of the team from recent games, but make one or two changes as the scoerline allows. Get ahead comfortably first then change things.

Normally speaking I'd agree Yorky but why was a statement made to the press to begin with? That kicked things off.

Some time ago the club tweeted that information would be put out as soon as possible. Since then.........silence. Formartine United recently asked for volunteers....why?

Some also found their way to a Dundee junior team I believe.

No. No details or specific contract wording required. A simple "Not true" would have sufficed. That would have killed the story stone dead.

Let's go back to the beginniing. The source, "close to big Dec", went to the Record with details of his contract. If they and indeed the story, were inaccurate or downright wrong, all he had to do was to correct that publicly. He has NOT done that. In short, make of that what you will.

Aha. I had an inkling something might be said.
