Best wishes to both of them. Power I'm sure could do a job a division or two down, and I hope French can somehow recover his potential.

It's fae Blue (and white hoops)

Season ticket info is out: https://gmfc.net/the-heartbeat-of-inverclyde-2024-25-season-tickets/ 295 quid for an early bird MCT member is quite good.

Finishes 2-1 to Boston, who now go up to the National League.

Think people are forgetting we have a lower-half budget and just finished top half. If Muirhead was a model pro he wouldn't be at a club like Morton. I would take him over an earnest tryer because he just got double figures in league goals, something we last had with Bob McHugh and before that Peaso.

While I rate Oakley highly, DU signed Grimmy after they came down. I don't think they'd sign Oakley, at least not as a starting XI player, now that they're going back up.

Declan McManus ends the league season with made-up "The New Saints" on 13 goals from 17 appearances (7 starts, 10 as a substitute), or one every 55 minutes. TNS ended the "Welshman's League" (note to sub: check name) unbeaten on 92 points from a possible 96. They now face Connah's Quay in the final of the Welsh Cup next Sunday. That will be the last game for in whatever colors Connah's Quay wear for Jordan Davies, who arrives at Scottish giants Greenock Morton in the summer transfer window. (Davies managed 19 league goals in 31 league games, all as a starter, for a goal every 145 minutes. Connah's Quay of course don't have the firepower of TNS; they finished second, but a distant second, 33 points behind TNS.)

Yeah, it's a tough one. Maybe they've talked about it and O'Connor now has a path to the first team as Kirk's older, or maybe Imrie feels Kirk has another year in him, or maybe he just doesn't rate O'Connor, or maybe O'Connor doesn't want to risk another year on the bench. No idea what the situation is.

That's a regen name.

No reason we shouldn't be aiming for 5th in the interim. Difference between 8th and 5th is about fifty grand, give or take.

He's out of contract if that's what you mean. No word on any renewals yet.

Seems a fair comment from Ferguson, frankly. When you're already relegated your mental state simply will change, you can't help it. "Downed tools" is maybe a little harsh because these guys are still professionals and will want a contract at Arbroath or elsewhere, but they're not going to have the fire that they would if survival was still possible.

Totally forgot about that. Bullet dodged. I assume he got some kind of payoff but nothing close to the entirety of his contract.

Wilson POTY, difference between him in the team and out of it is striking. Mullen, Oakley, Strapp, Muirhead making up the rest. If we have a young player of the year (23 and under) it's Mullen (22 years old) by a mile. McGrattan and Garrity are the only other real contenders and neither comes close. Goal of the season the obvious Goatley strike. Best signing, Wilson but only because he's been here all season. Strapp otherwise. I could see the case for both. Boyd worst signing by a country mile. French has been a disappointment and should not be retained (if he's even available) but he's not even the player most directly responsible for sloppy goals conceded. Boyd on the other hand didn't fit in from day one and was a waste of a wage completely.

If it's any consolation, visiting hours are quite generous in Scotland.
