David Clarkson on comms this Sunday

We tried but there's a potential issue with them loaning out too many players internationally. Maybe something that could happen closer to the deadline.

I didn't think he was particularly bad. It did seem that our attacking play was mainly down the right though. Fair play to him for busting his ass to get forward for the goal, opening up the space for Bair. I'd still be very surprised if we don't sign another wing back to at least give us some competition there.

Regardless of the laws I think we can all agree that it was very silly, and I can't believe Bevis didn't stop him from doing it.

We also need to sign players who will never leave, unless they play shite, and as such should then tear up their contract.

I make a point of not rating a team based on what they do against Hibs.

I have to assume that it was checked, because it was so blatant. His brain switched off a couple of times yesterday.

Went for "contract year" Slattery. All three midfielders had decent games, but I thought he influenced things a bit more. I'm enjoying Miller while we have him, he's a very tidy player. I didn't think anyone was particularly bad, but it does look like Casey is going to be afforded more mistakes than some others in our lineup. Hopefully a couple more games gets him back up to full speed. As with the rest of the lineup, there's no lack of effort there. Hopefully Biereth has some pace, as we have plenty of work rate up front, but we still need a cutting edge.

McCowan caused us all sorts of problems drivng down the wing in the same conditions. Efford is our best option for changing things and has some running power, but he is just back from another injury, so we're going to have to slowly bring him back into things again.

Cameron is about 5'2", must have looked like an Ant to Bevis, not surprised that he ghosted in for their goal.

Pretty even game in bad conditions. I thought our midfield showed in patches that they could be very good this season, but we did lack a cynical touch for some of their breakaways. In general everyone looked OK, and we did a good job of getting the initiative back after their goal, and finished the game piling the pressure on them. I thought wilkinson looked a bit sharper, and he holds the ball up well.

Yes

I think we will hover between 8th and 10th. I'd say top 6 is a no go this year, and bottom two possible if we have injury problems.

Can we try and negotiate a sell on clause when he's recalled from the loan? If we make him better we should get some money. Or, if he's good can we threaten Arsenal that we will feed him to Butcher if they don't pay a ransom? Monetizing loans is the next big inefficiency.

Sending abuse his way on Twitter is plain shitty behavior. As fans we're allowed to vent and complain all day long amongst ourselves, and we don't need to be rational about it or even civil in some cases, but to dish out abuse directly to the player is a whole new level of cuntishness. Questioning our policy is valid. The idea of a head of recruitment should mean that we have consistency in approach while managers change, but we've just watched two managers overhaul the squad from the previous one, so we need to have a serious look at this.

I hope we all enjoyed Theo Bair day. Maybe it will be his only day, maybe he will have others, but now we can all go to sleep knowing we can't sign Theo Bair tomorrow.

We discussed keeping him and couldn't get close to what the Dutch team were offering. I'd also warn against signing one striker for the price of four and hoping he doesn't get injured, suspended or loses form.

I'm not particularly enthused about this signing either, but we should also take into account that his manager was Callum Davidson.

There's no way we are that close to Hibs hearts and aberdeen. Those numbers must be made up.

Sometimes you need to take bold steps and push the envelope otherwise you'll never progress. I'm all for project 12th man.

It's not the OF, Hearts or aberdeen away, which is all seeding is good for, so I'll take it, then enjoy airdrie in the next round.

That transfer story about the Irish defender turned out to be nothing.

An explanation really is needed on the added time screw up (we won't get one). The absolute minimum of 5 minutes could have factored into seedings for other teams as well as us, if either we or east fife scored. Deciding "fuck it, game's done anyway" and wrapping up on exactly 90 was farcical and unprofessional.

No, but waiting until he's signed would waste valuable pants wetting time.
