Stevie Aitken's Love Child

You'd hope that means that a replacement is in the offing. Someone fully dedicated to media/online content.

Yes it's been public knowledge for a little while now.

Stefan McCluskey has joined Forfar. Had heard he had a potentially career threatening injury at Dumbarton last season.

As does Sam Ramsbottom after his 3 month spell there last season.

Dunfermline have apparently accepted a bid of £50k for Declan McManus from TNS. Paying actual cash money for Declan McManus. Wild.

Michael Doyle has been named as the League 2 player of the year. Bizarre

Weird, tried posting on my phone and it said it wasn't posting, so tried a couple of times.

While it is admirable to see players pitching in and helping out at such a tough time for a team-mate, it really is a shambles that football clubs aren't forced to have injury insurance for their players.

Announced with this signing video. I'm not sure if it's cringe, or funny as fuck, but I like it.

Robert Thomson has signed for Stenhousemuir following his release by Alloa.

I noticed that Smith's are having a clearout of pretty much all of their Morton stuff. Clearing the decks for a new supplier coming in I wonder? https://www.smithsofgreenock.co.uk/Sale-c58325254

You just know that he'll be roundly criticised by people who don't know what they're talking about for moving to the MLS, but that's a great move for him, and certainly a step up from Kilmarnock. Good luck to him.

Nicky Cadden apparently being linked with a deadline day move to Oxford United, where his brother Chris was on loan last season.

It better just be 12 pictures of David Marshall.

https://www.gmfc.net/christmas-at-cappielow/ Good to see some advertising, even if it is a bit late. One thing I did note is vouchers for hospitality which are valid for a year. Effectively taking money away from the club next season as the new owners would be expected to honour them, when the money has been banked under the current ownership. Maybe it's the cynic in me, but is that a bit sneaky?

Didn't Alistair Donald organise the pre season trip to Austria and then bugger off without paying the bill?

Kris Doolan playing for Arbroath against Hearts on BBC Scotland right now. Did he really only make one sub appearance for us?

It's a right laugh that they continue to use that picture of Reece Lyon wearing a prototype shirt.

Was apparently named on the bench as a trialist for Queen's Park today.

Nah, league cup isn't on the season ticket, so it will be subscription only. So we're talking several hundred signing up in the space of a couple of days, dealing with sign in issues, any gremlins in the system, etc etc. You'll know better than most that that is a very risk move.

Aye without actually naming any names, they more or less confirmed that it was not the Easdales.

On further thought, I had concerns about how MCT bridges the gap in funding, but when they came on board, Golden Casket had already cut their contributions are were not going to put any more of their own money into the club, or so they said at that meeting at the Gamble Halls. To me, and I know it's simplistic in the extreme to say, that would mean that any increase in the current contributions to MCT would only put us in a stronger position than we are currently.

Pretty much my thoughts. Just off the call and while I'm excited at the news and lots of talk about how the club can be more efficient, and identifying income generation, it's still of course with sole doubts. Stadium development for me is the big issue. Stadium improvements need to be high on the list for me. How does community ownership even think about funding something like that?

But Warren Hawke told us Dylan Dykes was the future. How has he ended up at that level? Oh yeah, he's fucking garbage.
