I wouldn't call him consistent, 0.4-a-game-steady either, but compared to anyone we've had since McHugh and before that MacDonald, he is as close as we can get.

Short memories. After a very, very poor first season for us he turned it around brilliantly. He's put in some fine performances and more importantly he's been our most consistent goalscorer since Bob McHugh. I am confident Dougie can get the best out of someone else but for me Robbie is a significant miss.

Wouldn't be at all surprised to see Falkirk have a really good season, a promotion bounce. But we'll always have the banter years. Five seasons they spent down there. A golden age.

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.
