Dundee request for game to be postponed rejected. https://dundeefc.co.uk/news/club-statement-postponement-request/

Merry Christmas folks. Hope those with kids have had more sleep than us. 7 year old was up until after 1am and awake at half 5.

Not that bothered with this one as I said else where it’s a bit of a punt signing him as this is first season he has score more than a couple of goals. Not sure I would have been keen on giving him a three year deal on the back of that.

Feel the same but I think he is now paying for his reputation for being a dirty sleekit cunt.

Need to find a creative spark from somewhere as expect Dundee to sit in as tightly as Hibs did on Tuesday. Looked on Tuesday that Muir was on to our NFL style blocking at set pieces so maybe not going to be as successful from set pieces going forward. Would stick with Ferguson and Campbell in the middle but would drop Emmanuel Thomas as he just slows the play down too much. Not been impressed by Jenks but we did move the ball quicker when he came on. As this last game before shut down would risk starting Ramsey over Ojo. My Dundee supporting brother and nephew both assure me that they are shite snd it would be embarrassing if we didn’t win this. They said that that last time as well. oot Walk to beach and back stream if I can find one. flat 2-0 Ramirez and Hedges

Odd one given we just extended Ritchie’s deal and gave Woods a two year deal.

Pretty fair summing up of game I think. We desperately need to get a number 10 in to give us a creative spark as there was nothing there tonight. We were far to slow in moving ball when attacking.

Too easy there.

Selection tombola in full flow.

If you are going tonight keep the noise down as some of us will be trying to work. And not climb off the moral high horse and go.

Darren Young gets Stirling Albion job to replace another former Don Kevin Rutkiewicz.

Hibs did look poor defensively in cup final but wonder if appointment of Maloney will give them new manager bounce. I have not been impressed with Jenks or Emmanuel Thomas in the games I have watched so not sure if I would start either against Hibs. We also have the issue of McRorie being suspended so we will have to make changes anyway. I just hope Ramsey is not rushed back unless fully fit to fill that gap. oot working collecting Bairn from Nutcracker flat 1-1 Ramirez.

Maloney confirmed as Hibs manager. Interesting appointment and looks very much like Hibs are going down the same road as Dons with their management set up.

Soon as it happened just knew there was no way Beaton gives it. Scottish football is utterly corrupt.

Being reported in Newcastle that they want him back. https://nothingbutnewcastle.com/2021/12/blogs/all-things-newcastle/football-news-aberdeen-loan-matty-longstaff-eddie-howe/amp/ No loss him being returned. Even if Ferguson had been sold we have plenty of cover in central midfield.

Kieran Ngwenya started for Kelty in their 4-0 win over Stranraer and was credited with assist for 3rd. Conor Barron was subbed off in 78th minute of same game. Jack Milne was 72nd minute sub in Brechin’s 4-0 win over Deveronvale and scored 4th goal. Tom Ritchie and Jack MacIver both played 90 minutes of Huntly’s 4-1 over Lossiemouth.

Tommy Wright sacked by Kilmarnock.

Mark Gallagher was a 61st minute sub in Forfar’s 4-0 win away at Edinburgh City. Was at the game and Gallagher did okay when he came on however game was over as a contest when he came on so hard to tell how good he actually is. As an aside we should be looking to put a barrow load past City in the cup. Look a poor side especially defensively. Forfar looked like they would score from every corner.

Come Al you actually expect these work shy colonial types to actually do anything. I mean there is not even a match thread up for next game.

Just so as Rico stops moaning the fixtures for Nations league below.

Sorry was busy trying to find cheap flights to Yerevan and Kiev.

Cannot see St Mirren allowing McGrath to go before the end of the season even if he signs a precontract with us for the same reason. No way they get in a similar quality player in January so there as well keeping him.

Would normally say do a deal to get shot in January but I doubt we will get a player as talented in to replace him. Might just have to stick with him until May.

Darvel 2-2 Brechin City. Darvel win on penalties. Darvel through to play Arbroath away in next round.

Jack Milne was 81st minute sub for Brechin and missed his penalty in the shoot out as they exited from the Scottish Cup following 2-2 draw with Darvel.
