Got his hands full juggling Venezuela and Greenland

Kilmacolm is really an outpost of Renfrewshire stranded over the border. It's much more like Bridge of Weir than it is Greenock. I'd be fine with ceding it, Hong Kong style, for 99 years. Skelmorlie should be ours though.

Was inevitable really

Storer is the white Jordan Pickford

Billy Davies' shock troops take the lead through Michael Garrity.

Only if we win

Garrity, Lyall, O'Halloran and Brophy up top, Shaw and Moffat on the bench.

This is the kind of thing where one or two sentences in a long Instagram video can look more like the whole thing. Laird's tirade was just a sustained volley against the fans. Here this Smith guy seems to have made a couple of offhand frustrated comments but that wasn't the overall tenor of the message.

Aye, it's Murray. Announcement forthcoming. Of all the 'predictable' candidates he would have been my pick.

At the very least, allowing the statement to go out to 'keep the peace' with Laird, Dalrada, whoever else is at best very very poor judgement. The fact of the matter is that for whatever reason he's presided over a litany of mishaps. Probably the worst shape we've been in off the pitch since the Scott era, including the various snafus in the Rae's tenure such as being unable to register Tidser. I don't know if he's been subject to threats and libel, like he says he has, but those are matters for the police and courts (respectively) and are separate from his performance as chairman, which has been totally risible. Why does he get to set the terms of his departure and issue what may well be a completely false narrative in doing so? Who works for who here?

I have no ITK insight here but I'd be very surprised if that was true. Pleased, but surprised.

Technically Not Head Coach

Tidser is never a full-time manager. Fine at a plucky (read: financially doped) social club perched on top of a coal pit somewhere in "thuh kungdom". I'd rather take a punt on McIndoe if we're looking at a manager from the lower leagues. If we pick Tidser we're just admitting all that talk about Morton in the top flight was bluster. Small mercies.

Bullet well and truly dodged if so

Can't believe how much we're spending for so little return. I'd have taken a plucky Imrie team over this season.
