  1. Nobody and its one of the reasons we are 5th. 6 goals is the sort of total you expect from the main striker of a team struggling to stay in the league not one supposedly looking to finish third. Not that being third means anything really.
  2. Doubt we have the money to do that. Sale of the ground is the only way we have of raising capital.
  3. Mainly because its the time the schools are off for those with families I suppose. Another effect for those with families/married/bird is that there is more pressure to go and do joint activities in the good weather than there is on a cold wet Saturday in November.
  4. If the reserve league is being scrapped then I would assume that our reserve team coach Sandy Clark will be getting released or will JC create another job for his old pal?
  5. You have stayed in the pub rather than go the football last two home games.
  6. Anderson was given stick at the start when he was playing as a right back. That stopped when he was moved to centre back. As for Diamond cannot remember him being given much stick.
  7. Pretty sure the arguement against old league was that there were teams like Dundee and Morton to whom 90% of the games they played in the league were meaningless as they were unlikely to get relegated and never in the hunt for europe or title.
  8. Summer football is a non starter as would mean lower crowds due to folk being on holidays and also being interrupted every two years when major champoinships are on. SFA should be looking at providing better indoor training facilities for youngsters rather then bothering about a winter shut down in the SPL which they have no say over anyway.
  9. I have noticed that the fans who suggest teams merging are the ones who know there is no chance of it happening to their team. Would the fans on here suggesting it still be doing that if one of the suggested mergers was with Dons and Arabs. Even the merger of the two Inverness teams lost fans to the game with the vast majority of the Inverness Thistle fans having nothing to do with the new club and also a fair number of Caley fans. Anyone looking for evidence of this should look at the Caledonian FC thread on Pie and Bovril. Better way to deal with the teams at the bottom end of the league is to set up a proper pyramid system in Scotland that would allow ambitious non league clubs access to league set up and would allow clubs at the bottom of the league to find there own level rather than just killing them off. As for extending the league this would just lead to more meaningless games that fans simply would not turn up to watch. As it is Livngston v Dundee for example only attracts 1800 fans when they are pushing for promotion to SPL why would more people turn up to watch them battle for 11th in an expanded top league. I would go back to 10 team SPL with 1 automatic down then 2nd bottom going to a play off with 2nd in the first division.
  10. According to Daily Retard Foster has been told he is to be sold in the summer following bust up with JC.
  11. Any team that loses to Falkirk, Inverness and Hamilton twice never had any chance to finish 2nd.
  12. Was unhappy he was getting a one year deal but a two year deal has got to be some sort of joke.
  13. Thought he looked pretty poor again and even goal was result of a miss hit. Also he again took a swipe at one of their players for no real reason.
  14. Was at that game and ended up having to go in the Merkland as was the only stand with any space left.
  15. Who voted for Wright?
  16. If that was the case then why did it take JC so long to make the changes?
  17. Think moving Seve into midfield and bringing on Bebo to replace the amazingly shit Young (got to wonder why this clown is getting a new deal) and Duff had more to do with our imporovement than Wrights introduction.
  18. Mentioned in a few of the papers. Thought at the game he was lucky to get away with a booking.
  19. I just think he is shite. Half decent player sticks that cross in the net and piss poor one misses the goal. Wright missed the ball!!
  20. Best post on here in ages.
  21. Smith is probably our best player by a long way when he is fit but problem is he is never fit. I very much doubt he would be at Dons if he did not have problems with his fitness. I am still loath to see him being let go though and would like to see him being offered some sort of pay as you play deal.
  22. Excellent chance of making the semi finals but players have to focus on the job in hand first.
  23. Which has been paid and thanked for. I also remember all the sitters he has missed and for those he should not be rewarded with a 3 year contract. He should be on his way to play for Peterhead with our best wishes.
