From the litle I heard from the clips, there seems to be a lot of inconsistencies in the comments between incidents i.e. was there contact yes or no/there was contact but very slight. Also a lot of shouting from the VAR team. On that evidence, I'm far from convinced that its a logical and consistent process and thats before we get to the technology.

True, but how many of those goals are from open play?

Dylan Wells has resurfaced and has been sent out on loan to Stirling Albion for the rest of the season. Good luck to the lad.

Whilst I don't know for certain, this sounds as though he has some kind of underlying problem. Agree he just hasn't worked out.

Apologies, yes. I was just thinking that. Furlong is maybe a decent shout?

I'd hope not. His record with us was very patchy at best and he made it know he didn't enjoy being at Fir Park. In short he seemed to have an attitude problem. What has he done since?

Does anyone know how many tickets we've sold so far? It would be great to hit the 5,000 mark.

He'd be an interesting addition and give us something a bit different up front, physical presence. Initial view though is that he'll be more of a project to start with.

Hale has apparently been suffering from an "illness".

They seem to have fielded pretty much a reserve team. No surprise there. No Hale or Gallagher.

Olly Whyte scores again.

Ross County have a game tonight in Perth and I suspect they'll practice a bit of squad rotation. They'll be a tough nut to crack, but are sitting bottom of the Championship for a reason.

It'll be a tough game. County as per usual will take no prisoners with the likes of our old and dear friend Lacovitti turning out for them. They'll sit in and will be difficult to break down. With our injury list, I'm taking nothing for granted. As MJC, points out, our cup record isn't great.

Kofi Balmer's exit confirmed by the club.

It would seem that Ross County haven't yet put tickets on sale for their support yet. Odd.

So, as it stands, we're probably looking to bring in a minimum of a striker, left back and central defender. If we lose players to other clubs and/or long term injuries are confirmed that may rise to at least 4 if we include a midfielder too. As for outgoings, questionmarks over Halliday, Oxborough, and maybe Osong. Balmer seems to be as good as away. That leaves long term absentees Robinson, Stuparevic and Nicholson to be accounted for. A busy and exciting 19 days in prospect then. Short term, from P & B, it seems that SOD will be fine.

As mentioned on P & B, probably a replacement for the departing Balmer.

McGhee can play there as well as RB and midfield. But will he be utilised there?

A central defender added to our shopping list? Presumably we've been preparing for this scenario.

The racing colours story was first relayed to me when I was wee by my late father, who began attending games in the late 1920s. He recounted that Lord Hamilton gifted us the land for Fir Park, as long as we adopted his racing colours.

Agreed. We all know how SK will set his team up. They'll sit in deep and try to frustrate us. If we don't score early it could be a long afternoon. An early first goal will be crucial. The time to bring on unforced subs is if/when we're 2 or 3 goals up. By all means rest & rotate players but not until we have a decent cushion.

Living away from Lanarkshire, as I do, I don't get the opportunity to watch any of the youth games. I only get the odd glimpse of a youngster on the bench or making a token 5 minute appearance as a sub. Now that generational talent, Lennon Miller, has moved on for a club record fee, who is next on the conveyor belt? Any views? From the little I've seen or read: Luca Ross: he's now 19 and been on the fringe of the first team for a few years but never quite made the breakthrough. Will he make it? Zander MacAllister: at 17, seems to be highly rated and made 2 token subs appearances. Olly Whyte, now 19, he was a standout on loan at Cowdenbeath and now doing the business at a higher level with Stenhousemuir, on loan. The pick of the bunch? Dylan Wells: was highly rated and went on loan to Edinburgh City but then disappeared. Picked up a serious long term injury? Mikey Booth: highly rated but then picked up a serious injury and we've heard no more. .

Fair comment. JT fashioned and took his goal very well. Tom Sparrow's misjudgement was so reminiscent of the kind of goal that Stevie Hammell used to concede. Still an away point at your rival's place is not a bad result.

All told, its a decent result at a difficult venue. Good to see Jordan McGhee make an appearance, as we'll need him to be fit. I suspect both teams will be disappointed at dropping points, but it seems that a draw was the right result. it also keeps us well in the hunt for a top 6 slot. Again, failings in the final third cost us, although TJ does the business again. Currently 9 players out injured.

Olly White scores again for Stenhousemuir.
