  1. I see dundee look to be in a load of financial shit with their sugar daddy ready to pull out. Maybe we could take gary harkins on loan for the season and ship one or two of our players in the opposite direction?

    With them being in the shit, promotion is even more vital for them - can't see this one happening.

  2. 5. Uncle Bryn --- Gavin and Stacy

    4. Fletcher -- Porridge

    3. Father Dougal -- Fathe Ted

    2. Prince George -- Blackadder the Third

    1. George Castansa -- Seinfeld

    I'd say that it would take something special to beat Basil Fawlty :D

  3. i was speaking to a friend of paul mcquade and paul has been told he will fill the right midfield position and will fight it out for that place in the starting 11 with david van Zanten. also if david gets that spot paul will fight for the strikers position and barron will go straight into right back. also paul mcgowan can fill this position so there is plenty of cover if you include the youngesters. its left midfield we have a problem with and we need an attacking midfielder, unless we are going to see more of young connor ramsay.

    I'd think we're more likely to see Steven Robb on the left if he's fit, but another left midfielder would be nice before august 31st. Unless he plans to play barron at LB and Travner in midfield?

  4. I posted this in another thread when replying to a comment and as usual I went off the topic to ramble on about something else, but thought maybe this is a better place for it.

    Just wondering, Is DL counting the keepers and young guys in his 20 man squad he mentioned he wanted? I mean like Ally Love, Kyle Faulds, Kenny McLean, Jon McShane, Conor Ramsay and Peter Bradley as the young players.

    Squad so far looks like;

    Paul Gallacher

    Lee Mair

    John Potter

    Hugh Murray

    Steven Thomson

    Michael Higdon

    Garry Brady

    Steven Robb

    Craig Dargo

    David Barron

    Ally Love

    Kyle Faulds

    Kenny McLean

    Jon McShane

    Conor Ramsay

    Paul Mathers

    Peter Bradley

    Marc McAusland

    Darren McGregor

    Paul McQuade

    Craig Samson

    Jure Travner

    Gareth Wardlaw

    David van Zanten

    Sean Lynch

    Paul McGowan

    Including keepers (Mathers too) and the young players we have 26 players.

    If take the keepers out;

    Lee Mair

    John Potter

    Hugh Murray

    Steven Thomson

    Michael Higdon

    Garry Brady

    Steven Robb

    Craig Dargo

    David Barron

    Ally Love

    Kyle Faulds

    Kenny McLean

    Jon McShane

    Conor Ramsay

    Peter Bradley

    Marc McAusland

    Darren McGregor

    Paul McQuade

    Jure Travner

    Gareth Wardlaw

    David van Zanten

    Sean Lynch

    Paul McGowan

    We have 23 players including the young players.

    If take out Kenny McLean, Conor Ramsay and Peter Bradley (not sure about love, mcshane and faulds)

    Lee Mair

    John Potter

    Hugh Murray

    Steven Thomson

    Michael Higdon

    Garry Brady

    Steven Robb

    Craig Dargo

    David Barron

    Ally Love

    Kyle Faulds

    Jon McShane

    Marc McAusland

    Darren McGregor

    Paul McQuade

    Jure Travner

    Gareth Wardlaw

    David van Zanten

    Sean Lynch

    Paul McGowan

    We have 20 players.

    Does this mean we will not be getting anyone else in?

    Or has DL gone for cheaper options to beef up the squad (incase of injuries etc) so he would have a minimum of 20 players for the season?

    Then look at money he has left, then maybe get in 1/2/3 etc extra players (maybe bit more creative quality) in which would make us better off than he was aiming for with the 20 players?

    Thoughts?

    I hope that it doesn't signal the end of his signings. Despite the fact that Dorman looked disinterested at times last season, we've still lost between 5-10 goals a season from midfield that need replacing.

  5. could we solve the left back problem by playing 3-5-2?

    have innes, mair and potter at the back

    ross and robb on the wings, then pick from 3 central midfielders

    obviously we would need to have another centre half come in as cover...but i'm not sure if any of the 19's are ready to make the step up yet?
