beyond our ken

I did worry a lot about his lack of meaningful contribution when he first joined and it has taken a while, but I am really happy to see the player he could be starting to come out. He looked well up for it and that outing just before yet another pointless international break is probably his best chance to make a big difference to our attack in the coming months.

That is a huge stretch, the top 3 places are all but covered already and the likes of Hearts will be challenging top 4 by the turn of the year, 5th is a distant maybe and 6th more achievable for us

Why would he even mention it?

I'm unsure how to call this one, there is no good reason why we shouldn't record some kind of result, however the unpredictability of how much fight we have in the team makes me feel we could lose any game I have a ticket but may not make it tomorrow and am hoping that if i can make it the performance will be a combative one

American cultural expert on C4 today "America has shown us who it is". But what does it matter? In any event, Trump's second candidacy was and is always destined to end in chaos, either in civil unrest right now to a very serious degree had he lost or, now that he has won, in possibly more consequential civil unrest a year or two down the line. When Americans see their so-called plight doesn't improve at home and abroad and that they are now a poodle to Putin, Xi Jinpiing and even Mohdi & Kim they will be in a real bind. Women will now be mere chattels now Project 2025 now has it's hand on the tiller and their dupe is standing by for when Trump is removed due to health issues The big reset is now on it's way. God did bless America and now they have thrown it in his or her face. Or it might all just work out fine?

Good decision we just need to understand what the club knew or should have uncovered and what effect recent events will have on signing policy while I fully advocate giving people a chance to redeem themselves I don’t see us having the money to carry so many failed signings or the squad depth to deal with the disruption It must be someone’s job to vet potential signings as we have to do it for other types of employee The club needs to be open about lessons learned and corrective actions

The same for every team in the league and nothing new for this time of year i’n afraid the market we have been shopping in doesn’t seem to offer players with 90 high-tempo minutes in their legs week in week out Robbo has done well in elevating players to better performance levels every well runs dry though and a change in policy is needed

Very easily saved but their keeper was on form yesterday

I hope for a bit more fight, just not involving family members or daft wee boys & girls in a chippie this time.

And we all hoped that we would get the old Van Veen

The highlights focussed on the disallowed goals too much but there were signs of improvement. I don't think we could have come back from 0-3 and the fouls that were cited would have been allowed by some other refs, so still work to do Three good goals though and teamwork is coming back into the squad, from the little I saw Phillips is starting to find a groove and what the hell has happened to Fraser?

I think we can safely say he won't be on the pitch anytime soon A very serious list of offences have been alleged. Makes the "thug" Rooney look like a choirboy in comparison

according to the schedule one Joseph Daly had a very busy wee night a few months ago, in both the drug and alcohol and the main courts twice today

Undoubtedly That may not be the end of it for us as the dates that the club became aware of certain information will now need to be made public as a matter of consistency, and the lack of an announcement is now questionable ETA, according to the court schedule he was up before the Sheriff at 10:00, so the club should know the current state of proceedings by now

Only problem is that with the current model, the squad changes so much from season to season you can't really pin down a side over more than 2-3 transfer windows as being a settled squad that is identifiable as a group. Even last season, we still seemed to be relying on players who were at their physical limit and picking up lengthy injuries more from over exertion than from bad tackling. I'm pretty sure we won the league cup in 2013, managed 8th the following season still under Danny Lennon and got relegated the following season after that following the debacle of player unrest and the appointment of Craig, with a couple of key players passing the tail end of their peak

It's only football, crazy idea to try and run a premiership club from a population of 45000. It was always going to be done on debt in the hope that prize money and visiting ticket receipts would pay their bill. Two perfectly good Highland league clubs ruined on the basis of a pipe dream. I suppose it worked for a while and I'm surprised they lasted as long as they did. We now have sides like Spartans and Edinburgh City trying to carve out a slice of the pie for themselves in the same way when it can't adequately support the clubs that are already there. If the standard of Scottish Football is to improve it needs to go back to something akin to the old model, preferably 2 top leagues of 18 that are more competitive than those we have now.

Wednesday night will be more competitive than the Ibrox encounter and I really hope the side can take some encouragement from yesterday as the competitive edge is the biggest shortcoming in recent matches. RC are a different outfit under the current coaching team and will be up for it

I'd disagree pretty strongly with the last sentence, I know it's a different game these day so assuming that the likes of Sutton, Higdon and a few others were at modern levels of fitness we don't have a striker in that goals per game bracket. There is no McGinn in the middle either and we don't have a decent wide player in the squad. I'd also cite the goalie's deficiencies and the lack of decent partners for Gogic as being a strong indicator that the squad is not as strong as some in the last 20 years

That makes everything all right then, provided you are right. Currently sending players out to Irish clubs and Scottish ones that are no better than the junior leagues is not the way to develop them, otherwise the national side would be boasting an array of former lower-league and junior players in the ranks

I don't see that we have the money to hire the kind of players that will lift us year-on-year, so we need a bit of a clue as to what Robinson's remit is from the board, the club should be transparent about the future. it is one thing to say we are ambitious, the fans group are the larger shareholder and need to know the how as well as the what and if the main tactic is continuing to scour the Irish, English and Scottish leagues for middling players with the intention of finding a nugget and boosting their value then tell us. That will tell us something about the attitude of the board and management. The path for better youth players to the first team seems harder than ever and for the life of me I cant see very many of the recent crop of signings who are about to turn good. Youngsters need minutes against better players and we don't do that at Saints, do the young players in the first team squad still get minutes in the development sides? If they can't get time in one side or the other then I'm afraid we are really a recycling business for older players who should have done better by the time we sign them.

2nd and 3rd bottom in column 2, Male and female. The approach seems to be parallel to the World Health Orgainsation "Gender interacts with but is different from sex, which refers to the different biological and physiological characteristics of females, males and intersex persons, such as chromosomes, hormones and reproductive organs. Gender and sex are related to but different from gender identity. Gender identity refers to a person’s deeply felt, internal and individual experience of gender, which may or may not correspond to the person’s physiology or designated sex at birth." My view, why do people get so uptight about this? being a "man" or a "woman" doesn't happen at birth. They are references to the state of physical maturity of human males and females. There are misleading notions around being a man in society, such as you are not a man until you have sex or you start drinking, etc. Thanks Shull for flagging up this negative reporting on a wholly reasonable approach.

As long as he can regain the spirit that got us to the top 6 then it could be good. Other clubs have suffered after giving longer term contracts to managers who were in a pickle. I don't know if the knowledge they have a year or two's guaranteed income coming along takes the edge off a wee bit when it should spur them or if the extension adds pressure and the managers get distracted in the negotiation process. What i do know is that recruitment needs to be substantially better than it was this summer and if you aspire to Europe you do what Hearts, and to a lesser extent Killie did, which is plan for it a season or two ahead. That is all down to money and it remains to be seen if the "bumper" contract is accepted. Only Robinson will know if the board can be relied on to help him get the players we need, I rather feel we (as a club) have opted for a status quo based on the last two years when we should have been looking to up the ante and being fair on Robinson, I kind of think he has had to sign players that he would rather have passed on. If that is going to change then good move. I also wonder if the uncertainty over Gillespie's position has had a detrimental effect on the atmosphere at the club and maybe exposed a flaw or two in the structure we have with Kibble.
