Shame game tomorrow or will the Saintees take pity on us and stop at four or five?

I read the transcript instead of watching. First I want to commend Graham and the rest for putting this together. It isn't easy to put your head above the parapet when things are going wrong but fair play, everyone's done so. Graham is exactly correct: we can't have another AMBISHUN season of signing a whole squad of pros because we don't have the money for it and there's nobody to back it up if we write checks we can't cash. Getting the stadium up to scratch absolutely has to happen and it's better we do that than spend money on "Curtis Main" and the like. That remains true even if we go down. MCT needs help. Once they get Estrella over the line they'll need more, not less. I hope more people can volunteer. Ian Murray remains a total fraud. I get that it's tough, he's working under real constraints, but he's the guy who signed guys like Grant Savoury, who are perma-injured, and stacks players in a couple of positions like central midfield instead of looking for starters elsewhere. The club's behind him, though, so we'll have to make the best of it.

Even at the nadir of the McPherson era the vibe from the dugout wasn't this bad, not even close. He's acting as though we're Sheffield Wednesday and we're 20 points down already or something, or he's being forced to play an under 19 squad. We're all keenly aware of the limitations we're under but he's blowing them massively out of proportion. There's no existential crisis at the club that makes losing at home to an LL side acceptable. Nor is conceding two in two minutes to a League One side anything other than a basic failure to build and coach a first team. Do we think East Fife are swimming in cash and can build a dynasty like they're Bayern or something? No, they're a bang average but well-managed small outfit who understand the assignment. He's absolutely got to go. It's untenable to let this go on any longer. No minerals.

If Murray's genuine opinion of Morton is that, as a club, it's defensible to record zero shots on target against a Lowland League side, something went very wrong in the interview process and he shouldn't be here.

Can't quite believe what I'm reading in the Tele. Is this a Poundland Mourinho attempt at deflecting criticism towards himself and protecting the young players in the squad? Or is it a guy who's not really arsed and is going to spend the next six months hiding behind a squad rebuild (famously we're the only team in Scotland to have this) and a low budget (same) before getting his payoff?

Months ago.

I noticed that on Tuesday. Trying to plan my travel for the next year and the official site was of no help at all.

Brophy is done. For all the failures of our creative players he's still done. Gorman will be the starting 9.

Still in absolute disbelief that Garrity got a new contract tbh.

AMBISHUN

Still, good news about paying a transfer fee for "Keith Bray".

Is any of that capital expenditure for the big-loss clubs? I find it hard (but not impossible) to believe that DAFC spunked one point seven million pounds that they didn't earn on a bunch of jobbers, but did they do a stadium upgrade or maybe some loan payback or something?

I stand corrected. Apologies to the 'Lers (sub: check nickname)

Allegedly "The Civs" (sub: check nickname) only had four players signed and ready.
