Seems Jack Purdue has broken his leg. I was disappointed we let him go and he seemed to have got off to an absolute flyer with Annan this season. I don't know him but I'm gutted for him, an absolute pisser. Hopefully he makes a good recovery and can kick on again.

Selling knock-offs of your own merchandise is pretty funny come to think of it.

I think the problem is that McTears never supplied the kit from the right manufacturer, however well intentioned it was. An unfortunate oversight no doubt. Assuming it was gifted by McTears rather than ordered by the club, that is. Presumably that's why the est1874 gear now has almost identical training tops for sale, but not quite as good so won't sell as well.

Yeah, I don't think it'd be worth the development investment to make it happen either. I just wonder if they've decided on their solution. Is the game on Tuesday on the season ticket? I haven't bought one so no idea, just curious.

Are other teams' streams going through a third-party server or directly from the clubs'? Hopefully server issues won't be a problem if it's hosted elsewhere - are the subscriptions also handled at the provider's end? If it's all all third-party I'm quietly confident it'll go okay... unless they think embedding on gmfc.net is a good idea (it's not, for us). Would be nice to be able to sign up - I'd have signed up for it weeks ago. I'm looking forward to it. Oh, and how do InterStadia season tickets work with the service?

The old website was better.

So bad it's funny.

Tremendously 1990s.

Then naecunt will buy it.

Is anyone getting a crowdie?

Does anyone actually know how to buy a season ticket?

I was quite enthusiastic about the prospect of a new site as I totally agree the site wasn't really fit for purpose - it never was, having hired their first communications employee after a site was designed (taking into account particular features would be pointless without having people to update). I think it also lacked in some other areas - it maybe needed some work to allow more advertising, some more prominence for match-day info and commercial activities, some enhancements to thrown-together sections like the fixtures page, and most importantly, a solution to stop info like season ticket information getting lost in the archives after a week. In terms of the tech it could've done with a bit of performance optimisation and certainly needed accessibility issues addressed. For all the previous site's faults (the 'one person on the site at a time' policy aside), I'd say for the most part it looked professional - it just needed some adjustments to be more of an effective tool for the club. The new site is indeed a build-your-own-website WordPress theme (https://elementor.com/) that's been dumped on to the old site - it might look a bit different, but it's pretty much the same thing. Maybe there's more to come and I'll get put in my place - which would be great - but I'm a little miffed on first impressions. Would be keen to know exactly what problems the new site is solving as it's been getting bigged up for a while as a bit of a game changer.

Baird on the bench for St Mirren.

Aye he's getting it tight on Twitter which is disappointing.

Not long announced after your post. https://www.linfieldfc.com/interview.aspx?id=2995

Yeah, you're right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_FA_Trophy_Final

Did Jason Walker not play at Wembley for some play-off game? edit: just looked it up. He played in this game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Conference_Premier_play-off_Final Not sure if that's what you meant by 'one of these'. Still, almost 40,000 in attendance!

Welsh has signed a 3-year deal at Celtic.

Aye he's a good player. Must have work/family commitments or something.

Iain Flannigan also retired. Strange at 32.

It's just a giggle.

Kevin Kyle named Witteveen as one of the top 10 worst players in SPFL history.

Raes.

Denny Johnstone has retired to join the polis.
