Hibs allegedly offering a contract to Mikey Devlin. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/mikey-devlin-set-land-hibernian-29198889.amp Good signing if he stays fit. Very very big if though.

Definitely a two game ban.

Surely this was something that’s been in the works and they have not done it before the cup game so as not to distract players.

This seems an odd one but Ian Mcall sacked by Thistle tonight. Guessing there is something else other than their defeat from Tribute Act behind this.

Another that falls in to the no surprise box Nathan Jones sacked by Southampton. Should clarify that while results and chucking the players under the bus in recent interviews make his sacking no surprise I did think he would do well there and I am surprised it has gone bad so quickly.

Not a surprise as he is well liked by media so much like John Hughes I would expect him to be linked to every job that comes up.

Today’s results. Inverness and Rovers with the shocks. Elgin almost producing a third with Ayr only equalising in the last minute of normal time.

Hammell emptied by Motherwell probably to nobody’s surprise.

Watching Western Sydney Wanderers v Sydney just now. Looks a decent crowd. For those in Australia is that just because it’s a derby or do WSW always get good crowds? ETA finished 1-0 to Sydney WSW were better team despite being down to 10 men.

Hamilton 0-2 Hearts in first of this weekends ties.

Article I saw suggested he might make it back for May. Bit of a blow for Stewart and Dons as he is clearly surplus to requirements here and it will be best for both parties if he is moved on. Him not playing makes that less likely.

U21 fixture dates confirmed but not venue and times yet for some reason.

FTFY

Probably as good a place as anywhere for this pish. European Super League raises its head again. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/64578730.amp These cunts are like the old firm no mater how strongly they are told to fuck off they keep trying.

Finished 2-2. Also see the World club cup semi final was tonight. Real Madrid beating Al Ahaly 4-1. Final is on Saturday.

Think he was but left after Cormack became chairman to do a role at UEFA.

Officially announced. Don’t know much about him but did think a CEO to get between Colgate and the football operation was the right move. Now for a Sporting director to select manager.

Yeah that would be a concern but that could be the same for Knutsen, Bekke or Cifuentes if they start well.

Against a rotten Motherwell side. One of those who looks good when team are on top but disappears when team are doing badly.

Probably to nobody’s surprise Leeds sack their manager.

Not really January window but Coulson signs contract extension with Middlesbrough. https://www.mfc.co.uk/news/2023/february/06/hayden-coulson-pens-new-deal/?fbclid=IwAR1fjHJe14GT6cngiMpFe-foNZo13ODMvGmsXSKTGMsYfLWD2B76T5-R7KY This summer there should be no loans unless there is an option to buy. Fuck developing other teams players. ETA - Not that I would have signed Coulson as a left back anyway.

Barcelona v Sevilla is on ITV4 tonight.

Milan derby this evening.

Think I will reserve judgement on defence until after next couple of games. Being down to 10 in first and Motherwell being incredibly bad in the second mean I don’t think we can judge either way yet.
