U20s teams can get to f**k but I have no issue with Irish or Welsh teams being added.
-
Obsession of India was excellent last time I was in, although they cocked up an order, they did replace it quickly.
I also like Balbirs when out in the west end.

No, it doesn't.
He is a young, ambitious manager, who will not want to slam any door shut. He has taken time out of his holiday to issue this brief statement, and I give him credit for that.
TBF I'm not going to be soothed until Dundee have appointed someone else!

What would you have him say?
I'd like to have seen the words "I am not interested in the managerial vacancy at Dundee FC".
It doesn't say that.

That statement reads keeping options open more than anything else. Think this still has mileage in it. Plus next manager to move on....
-
It's difficult to play a guessing game, but the longer it drags on the more likely you'd think Dundee would get their man.

If we have included a buy-out clause of 20K, you have to question the claim that we were looking to consolidate for the long term and build with Ross at the helm.
It might well have been Jack who asked for that. He might have wanted it low to get a gig at a higher club if they came in. We were a shambles with managers avoiding us like the plague when he signed, so he could have a big say on terms.
I think we should be prepared for disappointment. The lure of a Premiership gig and moving in the summer when he has a chance to build a team might be too much. -
The Aberdeen job, if it becomes available, is one of these strange jobs where the only place you can go is backwards.
Aberdeen continue to secure 2nd places in the league but couldn't complete with Ronnie Deila's Celtic for a title over a league campaign never mind the current mob. If Hearts, Hibs, Rangers get it together (big ifs) then you can only be sucked back towards the pack.

Was speaking to a Pars fan at work and they are worried for the season ahead on a budget point of view. They will have lost big away gates vs Raith and Hibs next season, and if United go too they reckon that over the season they would be down about 6000-8000 people through the away gates, never mind the reduction in home gate too. That's in excess of £100k disappearing from their last years budget, before any corresponding drop in home revenue, advertising or hospitality.
Didn't worry them in the past when they were splashing the cash.....

Shot clock sounds like a good idea. Guys like Nadal spend far too long messing around between shots. Should do the same in golf, might help stop club golfers taking forever because they see the pros do it on TV.
Pisses me off in professional golf how long a round takes. It's increased from 3-3.5 hours to well over 5 hours now.
I argued this once and was told that people liked it and wanted the top pros making all the brilliant shots, but I think they should be made to play within a pace. Bet if it was a shot penalty for ever 10 mins over 4.5 hours they'd be firing round.

Should do what rugby do. A game clock at the side of the pitch controlled by the referee. Ref stops it for injuries / subs. Hits 45/90mins then next time the ball goes out of play it's half/full time. Simple technology all Scottish League teams could have.
4th officials are a waste of space and using 6 Scotland's higher rated referees to stand on the touch line at Premiership games is wasting them and meaning additional diddies in the Championship.
-
Results yesterday turned out pretty poor for Scotland- left us in 4th when a bit more luck would have seen us 2nd.
Can't see many Scots in the Lions squad to be honest. Hogg and perhaps Gray only one that has shone at 6N level this year.

Is motherwell station not quite a trek from the ground? I remember getting the train there once, don't remember how I made it to the ground but I remember Airbles is definitely the better of the two.Depends what you define as 'trek', it's about the same as getting off at Paisley Gilmour Street and walking to our ground. I've done that a bit and it's not too far.
Airbles is like Gilmour Street to Love Street in terms of distance.
-
Airbles is the closer station but it is cancelled out if you get a fast train that goes direct to Motherwell.

I didn't think that was the case. Raith only needed a point and had everyone behind the ball when we had it and tightly marked McGinn and Mallan. In the other games the opposition were playing open football and attacking us but not last night - it was up to us to break them down which we failed to do as we were running into brick walls all night. I thought the attitude of the players was ok but Yogi got his tactics spot on. Sunday's game was a distraction we could have done without but a totally different set of circumstances from last night.
And we were the better team and did create far more chances than Raith.
I agree. Raith sat back, not interested in taking the game to Saints and got their rewards by taking the chances.
We had a bad night but lets hope it was all it was.
The fans and players are on the same page and there is something at the club now which has been missing for a long time.

The mistake was never getting rid of DL. It was replacing him with TC.
If, at that time, Saints fans new the choice was more DL or switch to TC then I'm fairly confident that the majority would have stuck with Danny.
Correct.
Although a few players on twitter would seem to be indicating that DL wasn't quite as upfront as made out...
-
It was a disappointing performance, especially given Raith's form (but Raith had chucked their manager and Hughes hasn't lost at Kirkcaldy). Raith were deep behind the ball and sat on McGinn and Mallan and gave us no space to make anything happen. The pitch was difficult too.
It was massively important in the context of the season but if it is 1 blip we can move on and recover from it.

£15 is decent. Anyone know wheres easiest to park near the ground? Never driven up there before.
Plenty of street parking around the ground too. The road outside is closed however.

I think Ross rolled the dice. I don't believe anybody would have been able to keep Rae's team up. Rae made some signings that were poor and others were hindsight has proven to be poor. Everyone said it was too unbalanced a team and even if we had got Calderwood / Yogi I think they'd have signed a lot of players too in January.
We may as well keep Ross. Alloa were going great guns till we nicked him so if he can work the same with us in L1 then....

Well £1 would have bought the whole airport at Prestwick...
Just drop off around the BP garage.

Looks like social housing by Sanctuary Homes, name is on documents recently submitted on the council website. 132 units- cram them in.

I thought only an excuse was better this year than in the past. Few sketches were actually quite good, but still surprising how many things it doesn't feature in the football world. I mean Hibs and the cup was a golden opportunity only used a couple of times and once from Rangers side.

The league table doesn't make for easy vewing right now but I refuse to accept that our fate is a formality.
Need to get MacKenzie and Quinn fit and back into that team. I still believe we will turn this around. One win is all it will take.
Don't think there is really that much difference between most of the sides in the division. Morton are case in point in what some consistent team selection and confidence can do for a fairly average squad of players.
Just need to stick with them and believe it's going to turn our way.
I agree with this. I think we have improved since Ross came in. Problem is results haven't although I don't think we got what we deserved, especially against Dumbarton and Pars.
Last few games are blow with teams above us making us detached but we need to keep positive and get results quickly. We've seen teams before in a hopeless place in December save themselves.
3 minutes ago, Lord Pityme said:As i said elsewhere, if we pick up next to, null point! Between now and the new year the manager needs to think of the club and walk, give us a chance to bring in an experienced gaffer who can shore us up, to stay up.
the concept of allowing Jack Dross to relegate us so he can create a squad in his likeness is commercial, and community suicide! it will cost a fair few people their jobs, and probably mean Ralston was no longer viable/realistic.
Cause experienced managers always work out well....
We've backed the farm on Jack. I'm not sure any experienced manager would want us or be in a position to help us. We have to allow him a chance here of at least a transfer window!

Are they are poor side? They've drawn with Thistle and beaten us.
They won't score many but they can defend which will win points and games. I think they'll be around mid-table. We might be in the same position.
