[BBC]St Mirren's summer has been loud and unrelenting, following on from our loud and unrelenting spring. Dating back to the departure of Stephen Robinson and interim promotion of Craig McLeish, a healthy percentage of the conversation around the Saints has been emotive and, particularly when this arrangement was made permanent, furious.There are a multitude of valid reasons in support of questioning this decision. Are we stable enough to go all in on a rookie manager? Is McLeish the rookie manager we should go all-in on? Should landing in the relegation play-off have been disqualifying? Such debate was always likely to erode the possibility for nuanced discussion, and so it has proved. Despite coasting (sort of) through League Cup group stages which have previously swallowed up the Saints, a blind and unwavering pessimism seems to have taken hold of many.Passing out from the back has failed to pass the sniff test for some, despite leading to fewer shots on goal, fewer dangerous attacks, more possession and far more chances created. With all this noise approaching deafening levels in the wake of an unfortunate defeat to Dunfermline, descending into ranting at club officials, Saturday's season opener in Falkirk carried the air of an immediate cup final. With the appropriate caveats that we also secured an early victory in Falkirk last season, and that this Falkirk side have been robbed of significant talent over the summer, the 2-0 win must be taken as a milestone victory for St Mirren's new man in the dugout. Goalkeeper Jacob Chapman may have enraged the Facebook da's with neat short passing and inviting the press, but kept his clean sheet.Eseosa Sule led the line and spurned a glut of chances, yet dazzled in his ability to stretch Falkirk and find himself in such dangerous positions regardless. Jayden Richardson came in from the cold, performing admirably in a back four redefining themselves after a near decade of three-at-the-back clearing of lines.For there to be something approaching calm, in St Mirren terms at least, this wave must be carried into Saturday and the hosting of top-flight new boys St Johnstone. Six points from six when the opponents are likely bottom-half bedfellows may not be literally essential, but the mood arising from dropped points in these fixtures gets in the way of that necessary patience.On Saturday's evidence, and the promise of more signings, more familiarity with tactics, more momentum and confidence, there is plenty of cause to look forward to the return of league duty to our newly renamed stadium.Mark Jardine can be found at Misery Hunters

Friday night, Dakota Ditcheva defeated Denise Kielholtz at PFL New York in a three-round decision. Ditcheva, a 28-year-old flyweight, is now 16-0 in her professional career and 11-0 with the PFL. That part alone should work for a buy low opportunity and her non-autographed cards are extremely affordable; but her autos seem to be far ahead of the market, listed for $100+. Its mostly Panini and Goodwin Champions, too. Very cool, artistic cards in a few sets. An autographed Goodwin Champions base card sits at around $76 on eBay right now. Her 2024 Panini Instant (technically her first card) is over $100. But her 2025 Young Guns rookie is just $5.99. Her 2026 Goudey starts at just over a dollar. A Goodwin Champions lenticular can be had for under $10. Its kind of all over the place and its weirdly all over COMC, for some reason. With most of their listings having READ in the title and then no warning or caveat inside the listing. Thats probably another investigation for another day. Anyway heres why we are in cards love with Ditcheva: shes awesome and we think shes about to blow up. A day before the New York fight, the PFL announced it was merging with Jake Pauls Most Valuable Promotions. That should be instant rocket fuel for her career if Paul starts putting her on undercards for bigger fights and sharing videos and posts about her. Ditcheva who has 393,000 followers on Instagram is one of the most social-savvy athletes, bar none, you will find. You know JR Fickle doesnt do hyperbole; go check out the account and see if Im wrong. Ditcheva also seems down for any and all stunts the PFL social group (highlighted by 4.4 million IG followers) wants to pull. Here she is doing the Crossbar Challenge during the World Cup. Charles Barkley interviewed her. And if I can just editorialize for a moment here having a British accent and a crap-ton of charisma doesnt hurt the cause. It worked for Davey Boy Smith! Add this all up and where do we land? This COMC thing is really annoying because our usual eBay trick heart the listing and wait a few hours for a 15% off offer to come in wont work here. But this has a very easy solution just go to COMC and make offers. Our shopping list: The $4 lenticular, obviously, because I am a child who wants modern day Sportsflics (no offer made) The memorabilia for $10 just to have a patch, which is a popular search (offering $8) The Young Guns clear cut looks cool and goes for about $18 (offering $15). And a bunch of /199 yellow circles for about $3 each because thats way too low (not even messing with make an offer here to keep karma on our side). A $40 investment on a rising star works for now! If things start to bubble up, well revisit the $70 autos. We talk a good amount about the Marge Simpson Playboy here mostly to provide bi-weekly Easter Eggs for our loyal readers. And also to make Evan Parker (who edits but promises he doesnt write these emails) sweat about what well be referencing after the mention. FEAR NOT, sir! This is just a segue to the Beyonce Sports Illustrated rookie card, which has brought up an interesting conundrum. One of our favorite follows on social media is Who Knew Collectors if you enjoy this newsletter, you will love his account. Last week in one of his reels, he featured a Beyonce SI Swimsuit Issue card. Its about $10 on eBay, depending on if you wanted it graded, which card youre trying to buy, etc. But in our initial search, we ended up stumbling upon listings for the actual magazine. And those were, in many instances, cheaper than the cards. And while magazines are kind of, sort of nudging their way more into the spotlight, it does bring up an interesting question: which one of these holds more value the card or the actual magazine it is based on? Obviously the magazine has a bunch of variables beyond its condition if it has a mailing label, how many were printed, etc. And it kind of, sort of goes back to the argument we made last year to buy the Livvy Dunne issue nobody knows where to buy the magazine these days. And even if you pass one in the airport, would it be a little awkward buying a swimsuit issue with prying eyes all over you? Its for my daughter! wont work like it does buying four Happy Meals when you only have three kids! Granted, the latest sale was in May, but that Livvy Dunne cover is worth at least $30 now! Beyonce may have the opposite problem in 2007, SI circulation was over 3 million per week, so there are a ton of those out there. Im casting my lot with the card the rookie card! But this also brought us to the 2005 issue, which had trading cards inserted in an SI for Kids-style promo. Should I? Could I? Would I?? As of send time, Im still hovering. It just needs a few people to say hey remember these cards? Theyre impossible to find in anything over a PSA 5... and were off to the races! Have a great week, everyone!! See you again soon!

Celtic target Mory Gbane subject of formal transfer talksStandard Liege have reportedly stepped up their pursuit of Stade de Reims midfielder Mory Gbane by entering formal negotiations over a potential transfer.The Ivorian has also emerged as a target for Celtic, with the Scottish champions understood to be closely monitoring his situation as Reims prepare to offload players following their failure to secure an immediate return to Ligue 1.At 6ft 2in, Gbane would provide Martin ONeill with a powerful defensive midfield option currently lacking in his squad, while also bringing experience gained across several European leagues.However, it is Standard who appear to be leading the race for the 25-year-olds signature.Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri reports that the Pro League side have now opened talks with Reims in an effort to complete a deal, with the French club willing to move the midfielder on as they look to reduce their wage bill.Standard recently created room in midfield following the departure of Teddy Teuma, another player who had previously made the switch from Reims to Belgium.Gbane is capable of operating in central defence as well as midfield and joined Reims for around 4.4 million in February 2025.Despite his arrival, the French side suffered relegation later that year before falling short in their attempt to bounce straight back to the top flight, with Gbane featuring in just over half of their league fixtures.The midfielder earned his first senior cap for Ivory Coast last summer but narrowly missed out on selection for this years World Cup squad.Before moving to France, Gbane enjoyed spells in Croatia, Russia and Portugal, where his performances earned him a move to Reims.He has also attracted interest from West Ham, who continue to work on a deal for Celtic midfielder Arne Engels after reportedly agreeing personal terms with the Belgian international.HAVE YOUR SAY Join the Celtic conversation in our comments section belowCeltic Shorts is the new home for the team from The Celtic StarSummer Sale now on!
