class of 76-77

Lewis Guy scored a good few goals and for that he has my respect, as for McQuade he just messed about and wasted everyone at the clubs time.

From what I was hearing Doris has already agreed to join St Mirren, to be confirmed early next week, Douglas McNeil has tweeted as much and he's usually spot on.

Would be a good move for him as he comes from Penrith and he wont probably feature much this coming season.It also free's up another wage for us to strengthen the squad.

Worth the risk as he could well turn out to be a gem. I presume he wont be on huge wages so it does seem like a promising move.

Not sure what to make of this possible signing, most of our more recent lower league signings have fallen short of whats required at the top level by some distance, but as always i'll get right behind the lad if he does sign and wish him every success in the stripes.

In the article Danny is quoted as saying that everything has been agreed but unfortunately I can't name them until the paperwork is complete, he goes on to say we all know what can happen when between a player verbally agreeing to sign for a club and him actually signing.He's obviously doing the business properly to avoid any cock ups.

An article in today's PDE states that Danny has verbally agreed a deal with two keepers, but wont name them until next monday and the contracts have been signed.

If the likes of Arfield were to sign then someone must be going on loan or leaving as we are top heavy with midfielders.

Tess is under contract for another year at Killie and Boyd is joining Sheffield Utd.

He's probably busy in the tattoo parlour having some more R#####s shite inscribed onto his arms. Let's hope this is the end of another daft rumour.

Can lovestreet inform us how the negotiations between Danny and Nacho Novo are going? And will there be a 4pm press conference ?

Kevin was my sons best mate while they both attended St Andrews high school, my son was devastated when he found out today. RIP young man.

The administrators at Hearts are currently in negotiations with Sutton to pay him half of his current wage. He's rumoured to be on a contract of around 3k a week, he'll be looking for a similar wage to this and that would put us out of the running imo.

More chance of Arfield than Tidser given that Morton want upwards of 50k and Arfield is a free agent. Having said that I can't see us going for another midfielder when we need to strengthen in other areas. Two keepers a left back and a striker, with maybe a left winger for good measure.

No he is not.

The boy Stirling who plays for Morton told a friend that both Saints and Ross County had talks with Morton about Tidser.

I couldn't care less where bigot Novo goes as long as it's not anywhere near us. He's done at the top level and East Fife are welcome to him.

Outfield player.

According to a reliable source we are in talks with 2 keepers and a trialist from Poland. No names unfortunately.

John Mc Ginn will continue his footballing education with St Mirren, the time is not right for him to be even thinking about moving on to bigger things. If he continues to improve over the next 2 seasons then bigger clubs than Bolton will come calling.

I would be surprised to see us paying a fee for any keeper that's under contract with another club. Langfield will be on a very decent wage at the Dons and I can't see him accepting less with us.

Will Haining should be up for this game, is he still with Morecambe as I think he went on loan to Fleetwood last season?

The Daily Star is an excuse for a newspaper, but it's usually spot on with Saints transfer info. I got a text to say the story was also on the BBC web page.

It would seem that Swansea might have been impressed with us taking the Newcastle lads on loan for a season, and given the success that they had along with the way that they were looked after could well have swung things in our favour. Our reputation as an established Spl club with first class facilities is growing

Pop along to Asda at the Phoenix around 4 pm tomorrow, our new shirt sponsors Black's will be revealing a marquee.I'm sorry i'll get my coat.
