  1. @EanieMeany just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy reading your posts. Always thoughtful, always considered, always interesting. No disrespect intended to the many other contributors, obviously. Best wishes.

  3. Good move for him and three year deal is excellent. Definitely tailed off a bit towards the end of the season but that's no surprise after being out so long. Multiple games where we picked up points changed when he moved in to midfield for us as well. Hope he can stay injury free and really progress in his career. He's probably better suited to the Premier league as well when he will have more space on the ball.

  4. Jamie Brandon signs for Livi. Thought he was an upgrade at RB for us but not the complete player, inconsistent defending and concentration at times. Hope it goes well for him though.

  5. Quick count of 4 wins and 6 draws against premier league teams from 17 games which has got them a top half finish. So, yeah a decent premier league team.

  6. Of course it is. The question is, does it override the need to make a certain amount of season ticket outcome? I assume - maybe wrongly - that someone has done the sums on this. If you knock (for example) 50 quid off the ST, you'd expect MCT members who buy season tickets - let's say 75%, to allow for expats, people who work Saturdays, people who don't want it, people who can't afford it - to all take them up on that. So they'd lose X amount. How many new members would you expect to make a minimum commitment of 240 quid - MCT's membership price, over two years - to make up for that? Do we know? Does anyone know? I can see why caution reined here, in other words. Now, with that said, maybe there can in the future be a move towards a membership model of some kind of which cheap tickets are a part. (Real Madrid and Barcelona are both members' clubs where members - socios - get discounted tickets, voting rights etc. Other European countries have a similar scheme to the socio one.) In that case you'd really bake in discounted tickets as part of a wider strategy. I think this is something we need to give serious consideration to, but as part of a massive package. Agreed completely that when the two years are up then right now we are counting on inertia and a sense of duty to keep payments going, and while they'll work for a decent percentage of people, they won't work for all of them. MCT and the club both have serious, serious thought to do about this, and ticket pricing is just the start.

  7. Offering McLean a new contract is as wild as his marking and decision making, which was properly on show against Motherwell in the cup. He is absolutely done at this level. Comes across really well, and been a decent enough squad acquisition over his time here but shouldn’t be anywhere near the starting line up now. This is a perfect time to really freshen up the back line so hope we make a good job of it. Slightly worried overall that so many have been offered deals as I would like Dougie to bring in his own next season and hopefully push us on.

  8. Russell and ledger away is no real surprise they were squad players at best and obviously want to try and get more game time good luck to them both. Oliver is an odd one for me IMO he just isn't good enough and I really don't understand the logic. I think strapp will be away but obviously we need to offer him something. Be interested to know what the wages are for these guys offered new deals doesn't really give us much room to build you would think if they all accept the offer.

  9. Hoping that not all those accept offers but even for someone who wanted to keep the nucleus of the squad together that's far too many being offered considering three of the loanees leaving are three of our best players. McLean and Oliver seem like crazy decisions to me. Oliver has been shoehorned in this season to very little effect and McLean would mean keeping two of the slow CBs that Dougie has complained about having to play a back 3 for since he came in.

  10. I'd have kept Russell and Ledger but can see the logic in letting them go. I can't see any in those being the only two released. How are we supposed to strengthen if we keep literally every attacking player? Oliver getting an offer is wild.

  11. Oooft, 126 votes, with the SNP candidate in the same district getting more than 10 times that *snigger*, is a right boot in the haw-maws for him right enough. Hopefully this will keep his daily 'arms folded with smug coupon next to bike lane' pic out of the Tele for a while

  12. Yes- as moves go, Chris going from the SNP to Alba was about as successful as David Goodwillie’s from Clyde to Raith Rovers. Never mind.

  13. Turns out Cappielow isn't the advertising hotbed Mr Mceleny thought it would be. Will need to bring an extra cushion to cappielow next season after getting his arse skelped so badly.

  14. We competed with a decent Motherwell side in the cup. Didn't concede in 90 and both their goals came after 110 minutes. Not really a great example of a defender not being good.

  15. At this moment in time the cost is too much for the players that we have signed. Few signed players that Greenock Juniors would knock back… still think the 12-17 price is quite high.
