Well yer off to a cracking start there min…

Pink Floyd - Mother

If there was a law passed that everyone on an internet forum had to use their real name and have a photo of them as their profile picture, stripping everyone of their anonymity, that entire forum would change overnight.

Fewer than 500 tickets* on sale when I bought there, although Aberdeen do this thing where they refuse to release the back four rows of the RDU until absolutely necessary, despite people like myself preferring to buy those tickets so I can stand. I will also never understand why there are seats in the lower deck that are £4 cheaper despite being significantly better than the upper deck. Edit: *ignore me, just realised there's an entire section at the end of the RDU not actually opened yet. Anyway, strangely looking forward to it. I don't know what's wrong with me.

I'll be spreading similar joy and happiness throughout the summer transfer window

Quite possibly felt in their fifties after watching the shite on show that night, Must have aged several years sitting through that

Langfield is a good shot stopper! Shame he was a bottle merchant who couldn't concentrate for 90 minutes, come for high floaty balls or indeed stop a lot of straightforward shots. Let’s give him another 3 year deal

Yep exactly, a little bit of me died inside every time the likes of Mackie and Langfield got a new contract time after time. Just showed we continued as a club to have the ambition level of just being happy making up the numbers and no more. A little bit of me died inside again just now seeing Pandas post…

It’s a bit like Mackie. Ran about a lot, tried hard but was probably playing about 3 leagues above his level because he was a smashing lad What’s wrong with signing people who can play football?

Lot of assumptions there Panda min. Wish I could feel so positive, but I just knew that was coming. I’ll be honest. They have got to be joking. The lad works hard and puts himself about - which is more than most of them have done this year - but there’s one small issue, he’s NOT A FOOTBALLER!! Seriously if this is the level we’re going for - backup or not (and I’d not be so sure on that one) - then we’re going nowhere. You think Hearts or Motherwell would sign that? Not a chance, and both of them have shown you don’t need to build a squad incrementally over time - one good transfer window with astute capable signings suited to your league and style can transform your team. Someone needs to have a word with Robinson, remind him he’s nae at St Mirren now and his budget stretches much further than Toyosi bloody Olusanya. Get a grip AFC ffs…

Aye does seem odd time to announce it.

Yeah. What used to be the away end will now be the family stand, but they don't include games v the Old Firm and Hearts. Likewise, all season tickets holders in the stand opposite the main stand have been told they'll be accommodated in the main stand when Rangers and Celtic are in town.

Were you on the podcasts this week? . This was being discussed and they claimed that SR had hinted he might look at that as an option.

I would’ve thought he could’ve got a bigger job than Ayr Must like the seaside and the chippys

Very odd timing. Maybe about to break in whatever paper would be interested so the clubs had to get ahead of it?

Ayr replacing Brown with current Stenhousemuir boss Gary Naismith after Stenhousemuir have finished with play offs.

100% correct. I think Olusanya has done a decent job for us over the past few weeks, but I'd rather we gave the laddie on loan from Caley a chance than sign Olusanya on a permanent deal.

A fair point. I guess Olusanya is proven chaos, whereas those two are unproven chaos! Olusanya has the physique (height, basically) that Keskinen lacks against big centre halves, and Bilalovic seems to be quite weak and lacks the diligence to even do the forward role. Bilalovic looks like the type that has the potential to be good, but will probably never fulfil it. Unless he has an amazing preseason, I'd like to see him go somewhere in Scotland on loan for six months to sharpen him up and get him putting the work in. What's most frustrating about the Olusanya situation is that he, and none of the other options, are actually as good as Esther Sokler. With a bit of work, he could have been a great asset when playing two up front.

Ok then, @Radiored started it with Goombay Dance Band so have a bit of this Neil Reid - Mother Of Mine

ABBA - Does Your Mother Know?

You guys realise just how shite we've been for years, aye? As @RicoS321 says, there will have to be signings like Olusanya and Morrison or their ilk so that the manager/coach at least knows what he's working with as a minimum level. It'll be then up to him and Lutz to find potentially better players than those two but that doesn't come without risk. Ideally we do sign another striker to go with him and Nisbet but if we need to sign two it's, on balance, better that you at least know for sure what you're getting from one of them. A squad isn't built by signing 20 good players, it's by incrementally improving what you have over a period of time. We've been a better team with Olusanya in it than we were before he signed, even if as a player he's very limited. I read an interview with an ex Everton player the other day and he was saying that with David Moyes, what you do off the ball is equally if not more important than what you can do with it. Now it's one thing having that approach with top class players but if you accept that he must know what he's doing, then it isn't a criminal offence for us to have a player or two in the squad who contribute more off the ball than they do on it. If Olusanya and Morrison were to be our only signings then I'd get the outrage but considering Robinson has said "some" of our signings won't be "sexy" then it's also fair to say that some others also could be - for whatever that's worth.

Chicago - Does Anyone Really Know What Time it is?

Olusanya should be trying for a different career after his attempt at Livi The standard in the league is shite. Surely we’ve got a youth player who fancies scoring a few

Keskinen could be far more effective at what Olusanya does if given enough of a chance. Especially if we're playing a 352 with no wingers, might as well use him there and leave whatever striker budget we have for someone who can challenge Nisbit for the number 9 role. Bilalovic also had a small handful of good games in the 2nd striker role earlier in the season and got a couple of goals out of it. Obviously the consistency was not there given his age and the level he'd been playing at, but another who's likely not to get a chance of playing on the wing every week that can be re-purposed.
