Wheres the award ceremony to be held? Im currently working on my acceptance speech.

I dont get why everyone is soo keen to get rid of cosgrove. Ok, 7of his goals were penaltys but even still thats 13 goals this season. Think about how many forwards have we had over the last few seasons who have struggled to get more then 5. I dont know why everyone here seems to think its so easy to pick up someone who can score goals.

Will it be up to him though. Could be up to the club. Either way this is why we will struggle to compete with Rangers and Celtic. They will sign up all the talent in the league and bench them.

More to the point for us now. If derby do win that could likely make Max Lowe unlikely to feature for them. Might even get a chance to sign him.

I would think Rangers will give them a tougher game. I'm more worried about if we can do the business at Easter road.

Is cosgrove playing in midfield?

4-5-1 stewart and wilson on the wings and ferguson behind the forward maybe?

3-4 within a fortnight? Ill believe it when i see it.

Is it not a league rule where players returning from loans are illegible at this stage of the season? Im sure a team was docked points for it before (think it was dundee utd).

I think the situation we are in as a club dictates that we have to try and develop players who have talent but are not the finished article. I don't understand why some people are so keen to get shot of Cosgrove, he is still a young guy with great potential. Wilson hasn't been worth the money we have been paying him this season but I would say if we can get him in on a squad player salary we should give him a short deal to see if we cant get the talent that is there out of him. There is no guarantee that we can sign anyone better. Look at Forrester this season and Stevie May last. We spent over 600k on the two of them and we have had very little in return. Johnny Hayes was hot and cold when he joined us but developed into a great player and I think that we are going to have to put faith in the players we have got to an extent. Hopefully we could bring in a couple of quality signings in the summer but there will inevitably be duds.

Wilson certainly shows flashes of brilliance. I often think even if hes not scoring he could do a job on the wing for us. Its just consistency that seems to be his problem perhaps getting him back next season with familiar surroundings and a bit less pressure would allow him to find some form.

Ill correct myself before anyone else notices my maths error. Its not quite 1 million at £12 x 6000 but seeing as a lot of people are signed up to give £18 I think its fair to assume that it is over £1million. I think fan ownership would be the best solution for us long term. I have to admit when I hear about these investors putting money into the club sometimes it feels like positive news. But what club has it ever worked out for? The fact is that the fans will always be with the club well after these investors have lost interest. Im actually surprised that it hasnt been touted more with the mess the club has been under wiggy over the last 25-30 years.

I never signed up to DNA because it doesnt seem right that people are investing and not getting a say. If 6000 people signed up even for the £12 a month thats over £1 million fans are investing. If this was a scheme that bought the club into fan ownership id be all for it and id sign up. All these investors we are getting in lately are looking for a return. Not that they are getting now but why should they ever get there dividends when the fans are the ones pumping money into the club.

I agree that considine can do a job at center back if needed. Preferably as a back up but like others have said with the difficulty in recruiting players of the quality we would like i think its always good to have a known quantity. On another note has anyone heard any updates on the training facilities? Are they going to be ready for the new season? Ive not heard anything recently and ive never known a construction project that was in on time.

Looked like he had a little kick out. Wasnt super obvious so it was a good spot.

Maybe giving Joe the captaincy next season would make him more likely to sign. I cant think that anyone else deserves it more.

I dont know what was being chanted anyone know? But it seems laughably corrupt that we are getting investigated but not the Rangers.

Apppologies I misunderstood. If players dont have any involvment in the play then it would not be offside. I thought you meant if a player started off the field and came back on to have some involvment.

Surely that cant be the case? Otherwise it would be exploited by teams more often.

Thought we were the better side, but we didn't take our chances today. Its going to be tough to go to Ibrox.

To be fair on Mcinnes, its surely Shanklands job to keep himself in shape. I dont think he got enough opportunitys for us but I also think us letting him go has spurred his career on. I think sometimes its when youngsters are realeased that they realise its make or break time.

I tend to think he does improve players but only if they can fit into the system we play. The problem with Stewart is he has been taken in as a winger and hes just not suited to that position. I believe he was playing up front for Kilmarnock and that why he had more success.

Presuming I can still join in? 67 looks like it could be a possibility. 90 89 88 87 86 85 84 83 82 - DownSouthDon 81 80 79 - EdmontonDandy 78 - Tyrant 77 - OxfordDon 76 - Elgindon 75 - Lencarl 74 - Rico 73 - wee toon red 72 - Tom_W 71 - Ten Caat 70 - Manc 69 - BigAl 68 - MBT 67 - DantheDon 66 - kennyfuckinpowers 65 - Jute 64 63 62 61 - rocket 60 59 58 57 56 55 54 53 52 51 50 49 48 47 46 45 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 33 32 31 30

Im amazed! McGregor is getting a ban for his kick out. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47176067

Didn't watch the match but surely Cosgrove with two goals got pass marks???
