He's not as good as Clarkson. He's not as good as Ramadani was. We could probably pick up similar or better for half that. His work rate can't be faulted, which is helping him a lot. He was gash in the last home game, but still put in a decent shift. He has a ceiling, because he's not particularly physical and he isn't a brilliant reader of the game. I could see him taking the Ramadani route, but we're very unlikely to be getting an uplift on the £1.5M. I'd say it would be a very high risk signing.

I think they paid a bit over 2 mill for him but 1.5 is the agreed fee we have with them should we wish to make the transfer permanent.

It may surprise you after our chat on the St Mirren thread but overall I agree with this, the technology isn't there yet and especially for leagues that are having to go down the back of the couch for shrapnel to just be able to afford the most basic system. That's not to say I don't think they help themselves with the way they operate it but I don't think VAR can ever be a 'good' thing until technology gets to a stage where the referee is literally an AI able to make 100% accurate decisions in milli-seconds. Whether not having a human refereeing team on the pitch at all is desireable however is another debate

Was that what Sunderland paid for him? Or what he's valued at? Cheeky lower bid from us if interested?

Saturday was the first time I thought "maybe"with regards to paying that for him. He's really started to settle into that box to box CM role and I personally think he's looking far more relaxed in his own skin too which can only bode well. If he keeps progressing as he is he may end up making 1.5 mill look a snip cos the boy clearly has talent.

The reporting on this Sandie Peggie case is wild. I’m not sure she understands the judgement - she’s an arsehole

I dunno, if (IF) he can continue his current form long term, then £1.5m for a 24 year old (he's 23, but will be 24 next season) is not bad value. Two good seasons at us and there's every chance you recoup that outlay. Sunderland saw enough to offer him a five-year deal two years ago.

A classic example of the type of music I thought was shite back in the day, that I now realise isn't half bad now I am in my sixties

Woh hud on a good damned minute there You have missed the greatest Scotland v Brazil World Cup game ever. West Germany 1974 Scotland 0 Brazil 0 The best chance of the match fell to Scotland when Billy Bremner (RIP) put the ball past the post from a yard out. Remember it like it was yesterday, not FIFTY ONE years ago https://youtu.be/qIrC0hox4uM?si=DyL3_iLZx7ifz_uQ

I’d love to think we haven’t missed the boat but definitely feels like we have. If we can stabilise a bit more then who knows. I’d rather he went abroad if it wasn’t to us.

Old warrior dozes off, misses AGM. A boardroom coup to seize power on behalf of the Sooth Stand Socialist Collective will therefore be delayed for another 12 months and, concomitantly, the timescale of the intended free matchday issue of the People’s Skirlie, the unilateral ban on VAR within a hunner km of Pittodrie, and the installation of a mass shower system over the away support section - fed by the Pittodrie urinals - will be affected negatively. Our mission, however, will not be denied, diluted, or thwarted. No faith have we in prince or peer.

Egypt v Iran has been designated as the "Pride Match" at the World Cup. Homosexuality is illegal in both countries.
