Good to put it to bed. Kilmarnock seem to be in crisis as well so the confidence boost should set us up nicely for next week.

I don't think it's the budget as much as they were told by the BBC review a few years ago to reduce their coverage of certain things to allow commercial companies to survive. Today I'm guessing no one could be arsed going down there.

Sounds a good finish from Cadden. A goal threat from midfield would be huge for us.

Radio Scotland don't have anyone at our game.

Why would they give him a three year deal with such a low buy out clause?

If there was a release clause their fans on P&B were in the dark about it.

It's like the Cowboys in the NFC East.

The Hemmings deal should add a bit of realism to the expectations around Moult and Johnson. Marvin might be worth a bit more eventually but by that point it's either January or 12 months to go.

It's not preseason. For a bit of context we got beat in the 2011 Scottish Cup final on 26/5 and hammered ICT in our next league match on 23/7. There is no excuse for being as poor as we were tonight.

East Stirling at home isn't at all similar to any of those fixtures. Possibly the worst team I've ever seen us face at Fir Park and they found it easy because we were a shambles.

Shocking performance. McGhee needs to get his act together.

Terrible first half. Awful tactics making it easy for ES, only tactic is the ball to Dom Thomas. The trialist looks he came straight from a fortnight's holiday. We could have found a more useful player for tonight at the palace grounds.

You've lifted a wait off my mind and the players will probably have the week off anyway.

McGhee has plenty of experience but he also has another job that takes up a week in September, October and November.

The guy sat in front of me at a game against Rangers a while after that and got launched out at half time when he was spotted. My recollection is he wasn't your classic hero archetype.

It's a bit worrying he will be in sole charge at the international breaks.

Presumably they are around the same level as Cove Rangers so we should be hoping for a similar outcome.

It was pretty obvious when he came in that McGhee viewed Laing and Ainsworth as guys he could force out to free up a bit more money this summer.

Hemmings scored more goals and better goals (as in creating his own chances and a bigger variety). What is about Hemmings that makes you think he is less intelligent?

Probably similar to Kane Hemmings.

A guy that has constant temper tantrums on the park and is overweight a fair amount of the time?

It was McDonald's choice to stay. The club had no say in it.

As I said when he was linked with Hibs his contribution over the season won't be hard to replace. Given the holes in our squad getting shot of him and bringing in more reliable players might be for the best.

Dumbarton were looking at him as well and thought they could get him. I don't think he was ever in McGhee's plans and may have had a similar option deal to McDonald.

Annan gubbed Accies in January so this might not be as easy as people think.
