Fucking rancid.

Quitongo would be one of the first out the door if it was up to me. He has attributes very few at this level possess, but even when he is fully fit he's woefully inconsistent. Wilson and Oakley both have bad injury records, but the difference with those guys is if they're playing twenty games in a season rather than forty, they're going to give a solid contribution in 90% of those matches. Quitongo doesn't have that. Add in his technical deficiencies, lack of game intelligence and poor decision making in the final third and it's an easy decision for me. He's simply a luxury we can't afford.

Here is the state of play for next season: Contracted for next season - Mullen, Murdoch, Baird, Wilson, O'Boy, King, Bearne, Davies. Contract expiring - MacDonald, Strapp, O'Connor, Waters, Blues, Muirhead, Quitongo, Crawford, Broadfoot, McGrattan, Garrity, Power, Gillespie, Oakley. Loans expiring - French MacDonald - Release Strapp - Keep O'Connor - Keep Waters - Release Blues - Keep Muirhead - Keep* Quitongo - Release Crawford - Keep* Broadfoot - Release McGrattan - Release Garrity - Keep Power - Keep* Gillespie - Release Oakley - Keep * I'd be looking for upgrades on these players but I wouldn't be against any of them staying in the correct circumstances. Crawford has really struggled for a large part of the season, Muirhead has blown hot and cold but still has plenty of goals to his name and Power is now at a point where you could argue whether his negative contributions outweigh what he brings to the team.

Imrie was entirely correct IMO. Having two positive passages of play after 10/15 minutes of being under the cosh doesn't mean we should suddenly start trying to force a winner. Given how poor we were in midfield, and the large gap between the midfield and defence for the majority of the match, settling for a point was the correct approach at that point.

It absolutely should not be the chairman deciding that. We're one of (if not the) lowest paying full time clubs in the country. The idea of completing ruling out recruiting older players dropping down from a higher level is absurd.

The majority of them were in Amsterdam for the Scotland game.

Inverclyde Sport Centre in Largs.

Fair fucks to whoever let off the fireworks in the car park at full time. Outstanding work.

Excellent news. I don't think it's a coincidence that our performances and results improved as he gained match sharpness.

I'd be fully in favour of trying to get MacDonald off the books and bringing in a player on a lesser wage to deputise for Mullen for the rest of the season. I'd imagine MacDonald is quite a high earner so if we can use it to benefit us in other positions I'd be all for it.

Even for this dank corner of the internet's standards, this thread is grim.

I'd love to see Iain Wilson signing beyond his loan spell. I'm hoping that come February 1st we're sticking a pre-contact in front of him. He's been excellent in the last couple of months.

Unfortunately that was inevitable. The angle of the highlights didn't show a clear enough view of the incident to clear him. Grant Irvine's card is definitely marked.

Aye, that's a cracking result. Arbroath's form is dreadful at the moment. Terrible wee shame.

I've been to Germany four times and never had an issue, I can only imagine they will be pulling out all the stops during the Euros to ensure public transport runs without a hitch.
