Will be my first home game this year as missed Aberdeen and Sellik matches. Looking forward to 90 seconds into the match and hearing the usual OUT!! OUT!! OUT!!! chant from the chap in the Hunter Stand that sounds like a seal. Anyone that sits near that area will know who I mean 😁😁

I wouldn't worry about their view of this forum, particularly given some of them often chat banal pish about their favourite pies and toast.

Davor is definitely inferior quality.

Are you saying The Sun are making it up? How dare you. A quality newspaper with journalists that spoke so highly about us a few weeks back. Yup.....sarcasm of the highest order from moi 🤪

Nae foreigners

Yep I wouldn't be sure about him but would give him a chance. Still Lowe for me or Evatt

It’s an old cliche and dear knows how many times I’ve used in reference to the Dossers, but this Saturday’s game against Ross County is definitely a must win. Lose, they’d only be 2 points behind us and we’d be sucked into a scrap to avoid the play-off spot. Win, we’d be 8 points clear of them and that should be enough to guarantee we are not involved in any relegation shenanigans. COYW!

Hey happens to us all mate, Mrs Grizzly is constantly calling me a duck 🤪

Ok, I know I shouldnt, but Im going to bite. Frail is doing the job because he wants to continue being paid. Unless he had another job to go to he would be off his head to do otherwise. Secondly, even if he doesnt want the job, the new guy might not want to bring in their own backroom team, so he might get to stay on. Thirdly, he will feel a loyalty to the players. Someone has to take the team until there is a new appointment and he is the one best placed to do it. Otherwise you are down to Clarkson, Foster and Obika taking the team. Hammell and Kettlewell were both appointed by the previous board who had clearly ran out of ideas / enthusiasm for the role as can be seen by many of the other decisions taken around that time. Given that most of us roundly supported the WS flexing their muscles to chase Barmack and become more hands on in their approach, and roundly welcomed the new appointments to the board, I think its a bit churlish to suggest that they will fall at the first hurdle and take the easy option. Previously, we had sacked managers and had to pay the severance that goes with that. We didnt have a lot of money to throw at a new manager as we were still paying off the previous two. Thats no longer the case and SK walked so presumably didnt get a pay off. It stands to reason we are in much better shape this time around (still sitting top 6) to take our time and get the right appointment. Thats not to say Frail shouldnt be considered if he wants to be. But there is absolutely no reason to think he is a shoe in because of past appointments.

I'm involved in recruiting at the moment. While I'm not a football club, we always estimate about 3 months from start to finish to get someone in. Less if we hire someone currently out of work.

Meanwhile, at Fir Park...
