  1. Kello 2 seasons ago up at Dingwall, one of the best bits of goal keeping ive seen, point blank reaction save and then when the ball broke to the unmarked Arquin, who looked like scoring a tap in at the opposite side of the goal, kello managed to get back on his feet and dive again to tip it round the post.... the fue hundred strong support up there sung his name for some time after that, along with choruses of' derek adams your a w**ker' wich got the match delayed for editing on alba:)

  2. Surly if we are to make a sensible appointment we could get the best off both?

    Teale and Longwell have proved they can motivate the players and improve performances as well as bring the best out of the young lads shown over the last three games, so make them head-coach and assistant-head. Then appoint a new director of football with experience from outwith the club to do the wheeling and dealing etc.

    Similar to the CL and RN arrangement at hearts.

  3. its good to know that unlike his predecessor, Tommy has given this guy a good trial to see that he is worth a deal and considering the interview,it seems he has already fit in with the set up, the management seem to think he can play the way they want him to.

    despite the "dull" nature of this transfer, i still prefer it to some of Dannys, where players considered good quality and experienced with the likes of Harkins and Grainger coming in without the lengthy trial period and due consideration only to find they cant fit with our style of play or are simly pure pish.

    If caldwell turns out to be useless,so what? Id take a young (cheap) striker with decent potential, chipping in with a few goals a season anyday, especially over the more experienced ones we could afford that some on here are calling for, we might as well resign Lewis Guy.

  4. No sir.

    I just dinnae want us going back to the Tippy Tappy Shite Fitba of previous years.

    I'm sure with Tommy it will be attack attack attack.

    don't you mean ticky tocky shite Fitba?

    I think the worst thing they could do is install a massive clock cause all it will do is remind the players how long they have to sideways pass and walk the ball into the net with three mins left, causing a panic and Jim Goodwin to go through some one young and talented...

  5. Blair Spittal on his way from Queens Park?

    Im not going to pretend that I know him well, but Blair only lives a few streets away from me and I'm also good friends with his cousin. Just having a Kick about where I'm from , he is easily the best player I've ever played against, some of the lads used to get applauded for touching the ball when he was on a run. this either says a lot about how good he is or how bad I am, probably a bit of both.

    unfortunately his cousin isn't exactly football orientated but I will try and find out if the third club interested is indeed saints.

  6. The club still have to pay wages during the close season when there is no income from matches etc. As for bringing on young players, it hasn't been too tough on Dundee Utd has it?

    There is a lot more to running the club than just paying players and the BOD has clearly stated they will live within our means. The Fakes have a wealthy chairman as do Ross County. We don't.

    Why not wait to see who comes in before doing an Elvis. Judge Tommy and the club when our new team are settled and on performances next season.

    The status quo is not an option and change can bring success. We have no divine right to be in the top league or even top 6 and far bigger clubs are now plying their trade in a lower division. In a number of cases by spending money they did not have and living beyond their means. Think we are lucky we are supporting a well run club still performing at the top table despite much smaller income than many others.

    BTW, be prepared for who we bring in bearing in mind reduced budgets as a result of no sponsorship for the league, reduced gate receipts now that both Edinburgh clubs are no longer in the league and likely reduced TV money.

    I understand both sets of views here but I think the point that Big Yards is trying to make is that we have been living with in our means since the new stadium was built and the dept was cleared, yet the quality and depth of the squad has gradually decreased since season 11/12, presumably to save money. why has this continued to happen with further reductions and continually going for the cheap option by promoting youngsters and cutting the coaching bill by promoting TM,JG and GT despite an increase in revenue through player sales etc.

    We have already proved that we can live with in our means with a squad with decent depth and a handful of experienced players and quality youngsters in past seasons, so why must we leave Tommy to build a squad on pennies working with out of depth academy graduates, situations where we have only one player per position ie left back, and a solitary ageing striker.

    I really Hope the BOD proves me wrong this season.

  7. Would be a good signing for us, and we've obviously been after him previously.

    Can't really see it happening though for a combination of reasons, Hearts would be very reluctant to let him go, Stevenson would want to wait until summer & as he has 1 1/2 yrs left on contract so the fee would be too big for us.

    However there are rumours flying about that we're after a forward player who's not an out and out striker......

    .... that will be gregg wylde then?

  8. if he was ever going to come here its not likely be in this window it will be summer because he is out of contract .We may be in with a chance though as Gary Harkins is on loan at Oldham were Rooney plays and we might have established a decent relationship with them, especially if Harkins plays well. They might even do us a swap. I wouldn't worry to much about defenders as the clear out of Barron and Mair makes you think there will be someone on the way.hopefully.

  9. Would like to see us bring Kane Hemmings in from Cowdenbeath. Scoring for fun for what is a poor Cowdenbeath side. Big strong lad who'd definitely worth a shot in the Premier league.

    Out of contract in the summer.

    wonder if danny still has links with cowdenbeath, would be decent signing if they could take Thomas rielly etc on loan as a replacement

  10. im pretty sure Jamie Mcdonald and Jamie Hamill are out of contract at the end of the season, dont think they will stay and play championship football next year and only get a runners up medal cause of rangers. would be good signings for next year.

  11. Moving away from the garbage above, I think tony watt looks a great player but doesn't look settled at all , coming away with comments about learning more about football at ayr than from Neil lennon (probably true) as he is frustrated at failing on his current loan after all that Barcelona goal hype and seems alot like Robert snodgrass was at that age, however snodgrass worked hard and came through that spell and depending on if watt can do the same will determine what sort of player he turns out to be. I don't see us taking him on loan next season as celtic will want to ship out samaras, balde and the like and build for next seasons champions League and but also look for someone who can score consistently on the domestic scene and I see this as watts chance. This doesn't really deserve to be called a rumour as Danny is unlikely to move for a player he could have signed permanently before he went to celtic , due his bad party habits. Would be a great signing though if we could pull it off.

  12. I have read that we are after a 22 year old Swansea keeper on loan for the coming season,and loan signings are usually brought in to improve for their parent club and the only way this is going to happen is if he plays regular first team football so danny is either weighing up his options or has given up on simonsen...

  13. I'd see Billy Mehmet back at St. Mirren in a heartbeat. He's not a goalscorer as we know (although he chipped in with about 10 a season) but he's an exceptionally good footballer and a good target man.

    Stephen McGinn would be an ideal replacement for McGowan as well if his injury troubles are behind him.

    Easton and Steven Smith, either would be a good signing for this level. Easton has always looked good ever since his Accies days.

    surely 10 goals a season is better than what we will get from our other current strikers i.e Guy and Parkin
