It does indeed...for a club like St Johnstone it would be riches beyond it's wildest dreams...because we'd never get 3m for a player...we're always ripped off as buying clubs know we have to accept lower amounts than a player would be worth if with a bigger club.

Great to see Partick Thistle promoted.
They received shocking treatment last year when their fellow club members voted to demote them when they were one point behind with a game in hand.

Not quite right though!

It was voted to go on a “points per game played” method in deciding league position and they still finished bottom so theoretically you could say they actually had an advantage with having played a game less so possibly avoiding another defeat!

But good to see them getting back up especially at the expense of Falkirk ?
 
In Dumfries to photograph Queen of the South v Dundee last night - and on arriving at the car park (too early to get into the ground) noticed that there were several hundred Queens fans wearing colours and with banners lining the entrance to the players car park. Couldn't work out why so many were there for a bit but then twigged that Stephen Dobbie had announced the day before that he was retiring after the match.

When he arrived in his car they mobbed it and went through their repertoire of Dobbie songs while letting off blue flares - it was pretty impressive for a place like Dumfries which isn't really known for that sort of thing - if I'd been working for anyone who would have used pics of their tribute I'd have got some great stuff - he's been a great player for them in his two spells at Palmerston.

Thankfully he didn't do much on his final appearance and the result plus that at Stark Park mean I've got a week off from taking pics.

He has been some player in his time, seemed tp score goals were ever he went.
Always felt he could have played at top level.
Is he not also qualified as a GP doctor ?

Always felt he could have played at top level but he qualified as a GP and I don't think he played full time for most of his career.

Not sure we're talking about the same guy - Dobbie has been full time for most of his career - played down south for Swansea, Blackpool (won promotion to the Premier League with both), Crystal Palace etc.

I think you are talking about Kenny Deuchar who scored a bucket of goals as Gretna bankrolled their way through the divisions a decade and half ago.
 
And so apparently Scottish Manager of the Year has already been voted on - so if Saintees win the Scottish Cup to make a it a cup double - and finish 5th in the league (where they are after beating Hibees in Leith today and Livi losing to Aberdeen) then StevieG still likely to get the MotY. Can’t have Callum Davidson, being the manager of a diddy team, getting one over the manager of the ‘mighty‘ Rangers can we...?

Yes I think I got my wires crossed there.
