My seat, Edinburgh Southern is as solid a Labour seat as you’ll find in Scotland. When Scottish Labour went down to 1 MP in Westminster it was here. We’ve delivered again. Great to see Reform get zero constituency seats. Hopefully once those Inverness folk wake up we’ll get a result in the regionals there and fingers crossed Labour get enough to keep reform in third. Greens did brilliantly. End result when it all shakes out looks pretty much the same as 2021 with pro-Indie team getting approx the same seats but more in Greens favour and the right getting the same but split between Reform and Tories.

It’s hard to judge a keeper when your defense is so poor, particularly dealing with crosses, and the keeper makes more poor decisions than normal since he’s forced into doing things he’d not normally do. I’d also say our defense this year has been the worst in quite a long time. Mitov isn’t as good as Lewis, but better than clangers, so could be better could be worse. Not fussed if he stays or goes. Don’t think the new boy was any better or worse, so if we sell mitov we’re at least not stuck with nothing, although I’d certainly expect us to sign a new #1.

Aye, it wasn't a great game. Didn't see much in Marshall again. He looks to be quite strong for his age, but doesn't seem to cover a lot of ground. He was okay in the forward midfield role, but it's a decent step up to the SPFL and he wasn't a stand out. He did do a lot of the side to side stuff fairly well when he dropped deeper, and I wonder if he might fit in with us there. Often difficult to tell with midfielders on the telly though, as they do a lot of work just out of frame. I think pace might be an issue for him, but he looks better than Kjartansson. Will be really interesting to see, and I think the direct physical approach that Arbroath takes will have done him a lot of good. Hopefully he gets a good chance with us next year.

I'd keep Mitov, who I still think is an excellent goalkeeper, but depending on Suman's progress from his injury it may be worth giving him a chance. Not really convinced by the other fella we signed in January. Shinnie - I said last week I think that it's probably best for him to leave, more for his sake. However, I certainly won't be sad to see him stay, and his versatility off the bench at LWB and midfield, plus his obvious influence in the dressing room, are all good things. The regular nonsense about "his legs are gone" get disproved just as often, and I've no doubt if managed correctly he can still play at a high level next season. Robinson also didn't rule out in his press conference getting Lyall Cameron on a permanent deal, although he didn't sound too confident about it.

Did I dream it, or did we really get beat in the cup by Dunfermline. I'll give them their due, they defend well as a team. Arbroath huffed and puffed tonight, but their players looked spent. Not a lot of quality on show.

Arbroath v Dunfermline on the BBC. Not a bad game. Arbroath are a decent team, for part timers, at this level. The boy Mullan at Dunfermline must be worth a punt for us.

Don’t disagree - but if someone offered us £2million I’d drive the boy there myself…

A lot of them are former navy. Faslane is a huge employer in the area and they’ll always go unionist, as will all the folk already mentioned. She spends a lot of time in the area and they spunked a fortune on her campaign Dumbarton punters are sick of the sight of her for the most part

The boy Glenn Campbell on the BBC, really doesn't like the SNP

Thanks gor clarifying. I was on tenterhooks.

You a lot of English down beside you. We have the same issue in 'Aberdeenshire'. Full of them and they claim we have a problem with African immigrants.

Robinson wants Shinnie to stay, but has said he won't be a regular, which is fair. Also seems a little truth in the Mitov rumours. Be another interesting window.

It’s not us. Huns, the purple rinse brigade and English in Helensburgh always put her in. I thought the turbo huns might’ve taken enough off her Extremely depressing

Jackie Baillie getting back in feels like Aberdeen giving Mcinnes a contract extension to me mind boggling stupidity

Dumbarton still want a Labour MSP Mason. She must be doing something right.

Too simple min. They want change and outwith Tory, Labour and the Lib Dems, they only really have Reform. Depends on your point of view, but at least we have a less shit alternative up here in the SNP.

Not sure you’ve got all these right, but will give you the first one and 50% of the third one.

Keep practising on drawing an X and I'm sure one day you'll manage to vote.

Just a bunch of bigots in England and Wales these days… Much more encouraging results in Scotland for anyone not wanting Reform although they’ll have presumably got some seats through the list vote.

What did you expect? The Labour party has abandoned its traditional working class supporters and is now the party of self loathing middle class guardian readers. And by the way , I didn't vote for anybody.

Labour are taking a hammering in Wales too. Sad to see a nation that has given us some great Socialist politicians and remained rock solid throughout the miners strike, vote for Reform though.

Greens (Lorna Slater) takes an Edinburgh seat from the SNP.

I think Mitov is decent and has benefitted by us having stopped the fannying about at the back. I'd stick with him, unless he is looking to move, as always get the fear with our keeper signing record and our recruitment team doesn't inspire me with confidence. Folk saying we would get £2 million for him, not a chance we get anything like that.

A clean sweep in Aberdeen for the SNP. Vote share down a good bit, but after 20 years in power and helping screw the oil industry, I'd say that is good going. Fuck Reform.

I wouldn’t chase him out the door, but he’s been another one who’s been a bit of a disappointment overall. Not the worst signing by any stretch, but not a resounding success either. He wouldn’t be on my list of “must keeps”, though he’s nowhere near the top of my list of “must go’s” either. His big weakness is his kicking, which lets be honest, is horrendous. My mates a saints fan and one thing he said they’ve always had under Robinson is really good keepers. So maybe lets see what he can come up with. Wonder if Gogic can play in goals…
