TRVMP

Filip Stuparevic signed for IBV in the Icelandic top flight about a month ago. He's yet to score a goal in two starts and three sub appearances and his team is bottom of the league with one point after seven games, 6 goals scored, 20 against. He's probably on decent money there but still, bit of a shanner to drop to what's probably League One standard at best and to play for a team likely to get relegated. I wonder if IBV actually train on Vestmannyaejar (the islands off the south coast that they represent and where they play their home games) or if they're based in Reykjavik. Reykjavik is a great city, pound for pound one of the best in the world for culture, but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else in Iceland as an expat.

They'll both absolutely stroll that division. Although it'd be funnier if this was the start of a five-year exile like Falkirk, I don't think it will be.

I mean there's no real principle as to why championship team should get it if we're being honest, UEFA gives it to non-qualifiers to try to even the playing field a little versus those clubs with prize money, and that doesn't apply to us.

It's a "non brainer", Murn doon. Yes they'd probably thump us but it's a bit of extra money in the bank for us versus having no derbies, and more importantly it'll take them down a peg after their recent successes.

Barrie McKay was mediocre for us but that's because he didn't bother. It was clear as day he was going to play at a high level, up to and including Scotland. I'll admit I didn't see Shankland being as good as he turned out to be, though.

Dunfermline Neil Lennon's Athletic carry the hope of a nation on their broad shoulders.

OOH! DUBIETY! OOOOOH!

Strapp is in a different galaxy to the other players released and even he didn't manage a step up. Total rose-tinted glasses to say guys like McGrattan were anything above 'decent at times'. Garrity will go the same way - good professional and a decent player but no more than that. Strapp is the only one I'd consider signing as a starter.

From reading the opinions of Raith fans, his stubbornness is a weak point. They look back at his reign fondly but he has a 'vision' and he won't deviate from it. Perhaps with an entire summer to rebuild he can make the squad in his image and the vision will work out. If it was up to me he'd be getting a painting of a Spitfire on Monday but I assume with survival assured we're in it for the long haul with him, so I'm praying for a positive summer window.

Credit where it's due, that was an excellent header from Main to draw. Garbage season otherwise, clearout required.

I honestly can't take sitting about watching this, I'm leaving work early and going to the gym where at least my heart rate will be elevated for a good reason. See if Murray can't get a point off ten man Airdrie, just set his desk on fire.

Literally tripping over each other. I want the cameras on Murray toting his bags up to the car park after the game like Gus. Have his desk cleared for him and all his stuff in boxes on Sinclair Street.

Nothing worse than a lower league manager with a "style of play" and a "vision". This isn't the Emirates and you're not building a fucking dynasty here. You've got your squad, it'll have significant turnover every six months, pick your best eleven for the day and set the team up in a way that plays to their strengths, not whatever shan idea you picked up on your UEFA badge course.

The next stop is Montrose. I don't care if we win 3-1, Murray simply has to go. After watching last week and promising improvement and taking responsibility, it's the exact same thing again. Nervy at the back, nobody can put a foot in, and we're cut open with ease by a very ordinary Airdrie.
