still 12 games to play and two against Ayr win them and that leaves 10 games to overtake the 1 point difference. Easy!!! Well the maths is.
We have two practice games next/ Lets practice winning.
There are 13 games left. So another 11 games to make up the 1 point. Easy peasy!

Dumbarton man goes down, Irvine thinks "Oh I know, I'll continue marking him instead of stepping up beyond him". You couldn't make it up.
We sign 3 players that can play at full back yet Irvine still gets a start, and has a poor game as usual. That's bad management.

Can't say I'm happy with that starting XI :-(

New club captain!

Mckenzie is fit for this 1, big boost.
Don't get me wrong, that's great news and I'm glad to hear it. But does no one else think it's odd this thing he does where he goes off with an apparent hamstring injury but is fine to play the following week?
Fair enough if it's a one off, he felt something and was taken off as a precaution. But this is the 3rd time it's happened (if he plays tomorrow) and we have ended up losing all 3 of those games. Maybe not so much of an issue now we have more cover. -

He's been on strike since his dad ,Steve , was sacked a manager. Club captain. Possibly a great signing and the one we've been waiting on.
Ah, I was wondering why he had started every game and then dropped totally from the squad for the last 3. I've a good feeling about this one.

No abuse Bud, simply me pondering ? You did notice that it was a question i posed ?
Cant for the life of me understand why some people seem intent in undermining anything that happens with the club.
You would be surprised then who I heard it from. It wasn't just a fellow fan.
But it's good to hear it's not true and hopefully he'll be in the team soon.

Couldn't be further from the truth.
Stelios has been excellent by all accounts, the main dilemma they have is whether to play him right or left back as he's very comfortable with both feet.
The manager went with the same defence that played so well in Dundee. It didn't work out as planned obviously but if he had changed the defence and we got beat then he'd have been slaughtered for tinkering. The life of a football manager.
I'd expect a few changes in the defence next weekend.
Fair enough. I heard a lot of rubbish then [emoji52] -
I must have missed that interview / statement /quote Bud . Perhaps you could post a link where that was said..... or even hinted at ?
Or perhaps you`re just another full of shit so called supporter who enjoys making things up to cause unrest ?
I got it from a reasonable source. As for the abuse...... whatever mate. -
Left back signing today.
To replace the other new left back who has already been deemed a 'mistake' by the management team. -
This is the kind of shite that really annoys me on this forum. It was clear for anyone who was at the game that he had a hamstring injury. Such is his importance to the team he actually went back on. He has also been our best player week in week out. Watch him win EVERY header and the way he attacks the ball and tell me his heart is not in it.
Utter nonsense, like the vast majority of posts on this forum!!
If he's out for 4 weeks with a hamstring then I will concede that I'm wrong. If he's back 'fit' next week, then I don't understand what's wrong with him.
I agree he's a decent player. He's also becoming a liability with these injuries. Just as Quinn was with his inability to last more 60 mins. -

Don't understand why we changed from 4-5-1 to 4-4-2. Lost the midfield by doing that.
Ideally I'd like to see a midfield of Morgan, McGinn, Storie, Macgennis, Smith.
Whatever is on the table for Mallan take it.
Play some proper f'king full backs. Hopefully McKenzie's injury isn't too bad.I'm sure McKenzie will be fine. He's developing a habit of being subbed off with an injury but being fine for the next game. I'm starting to think, decent player that he his, his heart's not in it.

Nope. Same game bud.
Different game from me as well. Falkirk have been well on top. -
We look awful for want of a better word :-(
They stole a few yards for the shy that led to the goal. But when does that not happen? -

Still nothing on the OS - what's the hitch has he signed or not and if he has why no official announcement ???
It is on the OS. Edit: sorry Tam, wrong thread. Still nothing formal

Really hope we get off to winning ways tomorrow. COYS KTF etc etc.
You had me thinking today was Friday there for a moment [emoji20] -

Was a decent player for us but not convinced this is a good move! Lets face it his career went into decline when he left us, hope he proves me wrong if he signs!
That's harsh! He was a regular in the Championship with Watford for over a year and a key player for them until he picked up a bad knee injury. He was keeping Danny Drinkwater and Andros Townsend out the starting XI.
Then later he was a regular starter for Sheffield United in 2013/14 when they reached the semi-final of the FA Cup. That's not too bad at all for a player who's been unlucky with injuries. -
Is it not incorrect to say we won't necessarily get a sell on clause if we let his contract run down? That's what happened with McGinn and we still got one in exchange for a reduction in the development fee.
Anyhow, probably a moot point if the boy wants to leave. No point in having an unhappy player. -

8 of the starting 11 were under 22. Let's carry this on to the League and Dumbarton being beat was a great bonus
They have definitely been weakened this month losing Thomson and Todd, and their assistant manager. And then further weakened by signing Gallacher, Carswell and Nade!!

And you don't think that playing on the left may be the reason he is slow?
No. I think he's slow because he's old and slow. I also think he's shite and falls down all the time because he's old and shite.
Bottom at Christmas
