f**k that. If we go into the Dundee game with this side we'll get murdered. We're f**king losing 6-0.
Can you honestly say we should 'sit and wait to see what happens'.
There is an absolute lack of f**king basic ability there and its seriously worrying. We've regressed massively since May. That's not up for debate. It's a shambles.
I think it’s fairly certain this won’t be the team we go into the Dundee game with -
Just so I'm getting this right. Folk are debating whether the third best goalscorer in Premiership history would be a good addition?
FWIW I like Doolan and think he would do a turn, but let’s not forget he scored 6 goals in 33 premiership appearances last season. So either last year was a one off and he would bang them in again, or he’s a striker on the slide who’s best days are behind him.
Someone mentioned previously that we have been bitten by this type of signing a fair bit in the past, Wyness, Dargo, Annand and Fenton all spring to mind. -
Just reading online that Salford supposedly offering Rooney £5k per week.
If any truth in that at all he won’t be one of the mystery men. -
88 million plus..........
£105m by all accounts...for a 33 year old.

Posted elsewhere but Rodgers will be a good signing. Really good keeper
-
Three separate posts all from 2 Robert Grieve tweets?
Rodgers is a fantastic keeper, I know a few Dons fans weren’t happy he didn’t get a run when Joe Lewis was injured -
I would take Tony Watt. Guy clearly has ability and someone will get a good year or two out of him!
Guess it depends if he realises he’s bordering on the last chance to revive his career.
I remember when Killie signed Kevin Kyle and everyone thought he was a headcase and finished and he was superb for them before his move to rangers -
6’ 3 left back or left sided centre half
We are going to be full of giants next year...not the worst strategy, works for Motherwell -

In a good way bud
Good things come to those who wait.
Ya big tease!! -
Does anyone know how to add my sons season ticket onto my online account? When I log in it’s only mine that appears,
I emailed the club on Monday but haven’t heard a thing back. It’s not a huge issue but been working down south so don’t get as much chance to pop to the stadium. -
3 minutes ago, Dibbles old paperboy said:
20 league defeats out of 36 games was the record for Murray in his second season at Dumbarton. the season Jack Ross left as his assistant and went to Hearts youth academy. 9 wins out of 36 league games... and our board thought he's the man to take us forward (he gives a good interview).
Here's that Dumbarton season month by month in the league:
August: 3 defeats and 1 win (Livingston - the season they had 5 points deducted for financial irregularities)... scoring 3 and conceding 11 (Raith and Queen of the South both score 3 or 4 goals against them as do the comedy version of Sevco).
September: 2 draws (Hearts and Falkirk) and 1 win (Alloa)
October: 2 draws (Cowdenbeath & Hibs), 2 defeats (Hearts 5-1; Sevco 0-3) 1 goal scored all month and 8 conceded
November: 2 defeats (3-0 QOTS; 3-6 Hibs) and 1 victory (2-1 against Livingston) - 5 goals scored 10 conceded
December: along with March this was their best month in the season - 3 wins (Alloa 0-1; Raith 2-1; and Cowdenbeath 1-3) and 1 defeat (Falkirk 0-3) 6 goals scored 5 conceded
January: 4 defeats in a row (Sevco 3-1; Hearts 1-5; Raith 2-1; Livingston 1-5) and 1 draw (Falkirk 3-3) 7 goals scored, 13 conceded .The next win comes at the start of March.
February: 2 defeats (Cowdenbeath 1-2 & Hibs 3-0) and 1 draw (QOTS 0-0) 1 goal scored all month and 5 conceded
March: 3 wins (Alloa 1-0; Livingston 1-2; Falkirk 1-0) and I defeat (Hearts 4-0) 4 goals scored, 5 goals conceded
April: 5 defeats in a row (Cowdenbeath 3-0; Hibs 1-2; Alloa 3-0; Sevco Comedy Xi 1-3; QOTS 2-1)
May: 1 draw (Raith 2-2)
Summary of the season: In almost 1/3 of games Dumbarton failed to score a goal in a league where half the teams had part-time players (Cowdenbeath; Alloa; Livingston; Raith as well as Dumbarton themselves). 7 of their 9 league wins were by a 1 goal margin. Dumbarton were the only team in the league to lose all 4 league games to the Sevco Comedy XI that season. 56% of all league games ended in defeat. Dumbarton conceded 79 goals in 36 league games and we paid out compensation to Dumbarton and unveiled Ian Murray as someone who had over-achieved on a small budget in the Championship. One look at their results that season show we had made a huge mistake.
That's some dedication to prove a point about a manager that left us 2-3 years ago and most generally don't particularly care about

Why is my view that we shouldn't appoint a manager with no experience at all talking nonsense? How many in our top league hired a manger with no experience? The old firm have done it with Brady, Lennon and Gerard but they had/have the finances to cover deficiencies. We could not risk taking a gamble on an inexperienced man when we need to bring in the right players and stabilise/establish the club in the top league. I would end by asking you to give me examples of where clubs in the premiere league hired rookie managers? It does rarely happen and most clubs simply would not risk it.
McCann at Dundee and Canning at Hamilton spring to mind, also Ross County did it with Kettlewell towards the end of last season to try and keep them up
Killie with McCulloch and Hearts with Cathro two examples where it didn't go well
-
I reckon it will end up going to Gary Caldwell.
Has experience in lower leagues in England, decent ‘name’ also imagine he will be able to talk a good game about contacts etc. (I’m surprised he’s only just turned 36)
Not saying he would be my choice. -
Kulivert is an interesting one. Obviously a top player which doesn’t stand for much but has been coach or assistant manager at a number of decent clubs as well as director of football at PSG.
On paper he should be getting a job at a far higher level than us considering guys like Lampard and Gerrard are walking into decent sized jobs. -
He did well at Wycombe too which is why he got the Norwich job. He would have tons of contacts down south for players
He actually was poor at Wycombe, failed to get promotion twice with one of the biggest budgets.
He left there and went to Colchester, done ok, thumped Norwich 7-1 and got that job.
Lamberts obviously a big name, other than Norwich he has been average at best as a manager but gets jobs due to his name -
Neilson would be my first choice. To everyone saying it was Levein pulling the strings then not sure how they would explain the Ian Cathro disaster.
McIntyre would be really underwhelming whilst doing ok he hasn't exactly been outstanding at any of his previous clubs.
Goodwin isn't for me either, think this could be a hearts over head argument for Jim.
I would be interested to see who applies, we are a pretty attractive proposition for the first time in years. Interesting times ahead anyway

Neilson 3-1
Goodwin 4-1
Pressely 5-1
Archiebald 7-1
Hopkins 7-1
I reckon it will be Robbie that gets gig
Neilson at 3/1 looks tempting, are those from McBookie?
-
Keith Downie usually spot on with info from Newcastle and Sunderland
Excellent move for Jack tbh, IMO taking over the club at bang on the right time
If he gets it right he's a hero, if he gets it wrong he can blame it on the club being a basket case. win-win
-
Central Midfielder from down South according to Dougie McNeil
-
Robbie Neilson or Alan Stubbs for me.
Both on the back of poor runs down south so would come with a point to prove.
Not convinced by Goodwin to be honest but wouldn’t be completely against him. -
Gutted, would have strolled the Premiership in my opinion, quite a rebuild job ahead for Jack (or another)
Defence needs completely overhauled.
-
Agree with LPM, Hopkin would be a completely uninspired appointment.
Some mentioned names Like Neilson, Stubbs and McCall on another thread. Would hope that would be the calibre of name we could potentially attract. -
Always live games obviously as I imagine 99.99% of folk will agree.
I absolutely hate watching saints on tv. Can’t stand it. Just don’t enjoy it.
Have zero time for any international games other than World cups and Euros.
And (if allowed....) will watch any EPL or Scottish Premiership game on sky or BT or any Champions league game with English or Scottish teams...

Let’s be fair, Rogers has a good reputation and fans of all clubs he’s been on loan to and rate him massively.
