I think we did ok, it was a very hard watch, impossible to play for so long a man down. Thought we looked tired then got the penalty and we really should have put fresh legs on then and tried to shore up!

Apology accepted.

I've said this 100 times before, but in the 21st century, with even the most rudimentary database technology, this should largely be impossible. Every team line (or even just squad) is typed into an online central system, and it doesn't allow you to submit if it includes an ineligible player. All players registered in the system, with dates signed etc and all cautions recorded post match. It's absolutely ridiculous that we've spent millions on some ridiculous system that measures offside to 1/1000mm, but we are still allowing games to be lost on an administrative error. Frustratingly, we hear this almost every year, yet nobody ever focuses on the solution to this, it's always about blaming the club (usually some part time administrator) as opposed to the system.

Is Clarkson dead/injured/resigned? He's our best player by some stretch at the moment. Otherwise, looks decent. I'm a bit wary of throwing the new lad in on his wrong foot for his first game, but needs must. Maybe Robson will give Coulson another chance and play McKenzie in left centre.

Everyone forgets Polvara. When Ramirez jetted back home, Dante could be seen running on the tarmac with his arms outstretched, shouting "what about me?" On the surface, a significant part of our defence is here on-loan. Under the surface, it's our achilles heel this season and I'm happy to see it completely rebuilt in the summer by whoever gets the job. But Stewart out to MK Dons is cracking news! He's just not good enough for the Scottish Premier - wow, i just caught myself saying that!

Wow, did not see Stewart leaving. I assume mccrorie will be captain? Or is that an incentive for shinnie to sign permanently? don’t mind Vinny or any of the wide players leaving, actually thought one or two more would have gone. Still want Roberts given minutes, the rest have already shown they’re not good enough. I assume scales is suspended for tomorrow so the two new boys at the back and a new keeper? don’t mind all the loans and short term deal, with no manager who in their right mind signs a contract. Interesting few weeks ahead!

Watkins staying, Anthony Stewart going. What a great transfer window.

No, Angus MacDonald. How dare you suggest I might be incorrect about something. That's a banning offence surely?

On 22 December 2022, following criticism of the national team's defensive tactics and style of play under Michniewicz by the media,[21] a turmoil regarding bonuses for national team players and staff,[22] Michniewicz blocking several journalists on Twitter before deleting his account,[23] and reportedly shouldering part of the blame for the media fallout on team manager Jakub Kwiatkowski,[24] it was announced Michniewicz's contract would not be extended and he was to leave his post on 31 December 2022.[25] Sounds like he takes criticism well. He'll love it here.

Robsons presser is worth a watch on rtv, thought he spoke really well

https://www.afc.co.uk/2023/01/31/vinnie-heads-out-on-loan/ Honestly a bit surprised about this I thought he was a decent enough player and one to keep.

Interesting topic BigAl. I've never seen Back to the future.

Truly gutted about this one. An absolute beast of the electronic scene. Saw faithless a couple of times and we’re very much a soundtrack to my teens / early adult life.
