  1. St Johnstone figures also boosted greatly by visiting fans from Aberdeen and certainly Dundee. Not home supporters. We'll see what their figures are like next season.
  2. Jack Vale has been released by Blackburn.
  3. I think we can also add Matty Connelly to the up in the air list. I count 19 definitely under contract but that includes Lennon Miller, but doesn't include Jordan McGhee. It depends too on whether we include Wells and Ross as being in the senior squad.
  4. From his comments, I suspect MW has already made his mind up on departures. However, there may still be some outstanding negotiations to wrap up.
  5. So did I and I dislike it even more now.
  6. I'm with Weeyin on this - we need to get our central defence and wing backs sorted out. I'd also like to add a midfield destroyer to protect and shield the defence.
  7. Absolutely no surprise. He knew it was coming, given his very public outbursts in recent weeks. They are a basket case of a club with ideas above their station.
  8. Not necessarily. It could be a few days yet.
  9. I suspect that they are with some loans but not others. Given that MW confirmed that to be the case with Balcombe they are a feature of loan agreements. However, we've often loaned out young players to lower league teams and they hardly feature. Injuries, of course, can play a part. Now we know why the Ox's recovery took so long.
  10. Well it would be annoying if Hearts fail to win and we lose relatively narrowly with this line up(by a goal or 2) and pass up on 7th place needlessly. Why not play Ward in goals? Why play Dickson when he'll be leaving shortly?
  11. Dan Casey and Tony Watt soon to be ex players or are they just injured?
  12. I don't know if Tony "Mr Angry" Docherty will be too happy with our line up. Hopefully Hearts beat Killie.
  13. I see that the rising East Kilbride have quite a few ex Well players on their books. Matty Connelly (on loan) David Ferguson Adam Livingston Jack Leitch Broque Watson
  14. Going by MW's comments, there won't be much experimentation as he's already made up his mind about our departure list. Johnny Koutroumbis is available once again after suspension. The likes of McGinn and Gordon won't be risked and rightly so. I'd bench Lennon Miller for safety's sake and perhaps open with Armstrong up front, maybe with one other. We don't want any late and serious injuries, that carry over into pre season. Ross County will be up for this and its hard to see them not picking up the 3 points as we may be on the beach. If Dundee beat St Johnstone, which I fully expect them to, then County's efforts will be completely in vain. From that perspective, it would be beneficial for us if Dundee opened up an early and commanding lead. I'll be thinking about our travelling support and hope they have something to cheer in the far north.
  15. I was in exactly the same boat, as I suspect were/are many others. Its now confirmed that a digital ticket is one which gets downloaded to your phone and I don't want that for the same reasons as you (I believe others have the same concern). The site and the answer I was given still doesn't clarify what online option those whose details remain unchanged and wish to renew should select online. There is a problem here and it needs to be fixed. Season ticket renewal needs to be as simple and straightforward as possible.
  16. Ross County fans have gone off Hale of late, but Chilvers is a decent player - he's injured of course.
  17. I eventually emailed the club about this query and here is its response. In fairness they replied quickly. "The issue with online is if we add access to their card as a delivery option, those who need new cards (changed seat, age ranges etc), won’t know they need to collect new cards. If we added it as an option online, it would give fans the false pretence they won’t need new cards, when they do. It is in the news story about season tickets: Do I need a new season card? – If your price class and seat details remain the same, you will use the same 24/25 season card. If your price class changes, for example Young Adult to an Adult ticket, or a change of seat, you will be issued with a new season card prior to the new season." I get the issue about those wishing to renew and change seats / age groups etc. but it still doesn't clarify what online option those who wish to renew and whose details remain the same, should select. Am I missing something?
  18. I'd give Lennon Miller a rest and bring him on for the last 5 mins, so that he can bid the fans farewell. No point in risking him against a fired up and physical County side.
  19. Yes, I agree with that. Tony Watt is not the player was before and I'd thank him for his services but thats it.
  20. A fine way to round off our last home game and worthy winners. Some cracking goals too. Almost 70% possession too. I thought our starting line up was overly cautious and the game was finely balanced until the red card. Killie posed our makeshift defence serious questions in the first half hour or so. I was gobsmacked that the rookie referee required VAR intervention before he showed a red card to Deas, but hey ho. From then until the break we were on top but lacked the pace and creativity to really trouble Killie. Some nice football in flashes but the final ball was missing and we seemed somewhat toothless. I did wonder if MW would change things before the break but he resisted that. Paton was like a fish out of water in that advanced role. His changes after the break did the trick and Armstrong gave us more bite up front. I thought the gaols would never come but good defending and Killie's good luck kept us at bay. Once the first went in I thought we'd get more and we did. 3 quality goals with Slattery's being the pick of the bunch. I'm a wee bit concerned that Ewan Wilson isn't really cut out for the wing back role - maybe a season out on loan next term? Callum Slattery had a patchy game but really came good in the second half. Not a bad performance, although there were weaknesses ie lack of pace and a suspect defence. I've rarely seen us have so much possession. We've sometimes struggled against 10 men so can't complain at a 3-0 win to seal 8th spot and the welcome additional cash that brings.
  21. He's only on loan from Dundee United until the end of the season.
  22. In 30 years time our grandkids/great grandkids will be saying "What were those old mobile phone thingies?"
  23. That shouldn't be an issue. If a member has a problem then there's a problem end of. It needs to be checked out.
  24. It's not just Facebook. The Internet in general is full of bile, vitriol and intolerance. That said its also a force for good too. A double-edged sword if you will.
