Big Wispy Flossy

KVV closely followed by SSJ

Comfortable victory, perfect well no, but as routine a 3 points as we are likely to get at this level. Van veen has proven that, if played central in a 3, then he is more than good enough. Consequently, if we could get a 6 figure fee for watt and it were to be reinvested in a winger of similar standard then I would be comfortable with our squad to the season end. I also agree with other posters in that GA has done a great job so far.

Stating the obvious but Dundee Utd deliberately leaked this to the press for their own gain. the Thomson’s were shrewd operators when in charge of them previously but these yanks bring something different to the table, and we unfortunately have been a victim of this. But this is business in their eyes and we will need to suck it up

Most footballers are mercenaries - there’s no surprise here. A 3yr deal on decent terms is no doubt a good bit more security than we could offer. Alexander has a difficult task now but he handled the Gallagher gun to the head scenario last year very well and I trust him to manage a similar challenging process this year. I would take £100k to get shot of him now if I’m honest

This this and this - covid is out there. However if there’s genuine concern over omicron beyond transmission rates (most of the early data suggest it is a milder form than delta less hospitalisations etc) then restricting 500 people in to fir park even Ibrox Parkhead etc is a nonsense. There’s no data to defend the ‘500’ position absolutely none. The mental health of the population also has to be considered as some priority at some point. Rant over - any spares for Livi?

Tommy coyne tops my list too technically brilliant and a not too shabby goal scorer to boot. My other four in no particular order would be Scott McDonald, James McFadden, dougie arnott and Michael Higdon

Also mugabi could end up in double figures for goals if he keeps rampaging up that right hand side of the park

I think maguire playing holding midfield with slattery and goss higher gives us a fair better balance than we’ve had this season. Good performance keep building on that and we’ll have a good season

Donnelly is injured

Don’t agree with the general consensus that shields should be a better option than wollery. Thought shields was terrible to be honest. Doesn’t look anywhere near our standard. Jury certainly out on wollery in that respect too.

Mcginley bringing the ball of defence trying a fancy turn well beyond his abilities then catching the ball to give away the free kick. We could’ve defended the free kick better afterwards for sure

We were decent in 2nd half and thought we were going on to win the game until until mcginleys total brainfart

O’Donnell playing won’t do either. Shows how bad it’s become if you’d consider mugabi or worst still grimshaw at right back instead

That should be mcginleys last game - truly abysmal. O’Donnell and grimshaw not far behind in the firing line. Kelly using up most of his credit in recent weeks

There will be no fanfare return from me either. Decent lad well fan and done very well for us, but he now plays for a rival club so, whilst he’s not going to get ‘Jim leightoned’ he can probably expect some booing, pantomime or otherwise

6-0 now although in fairness facing up to the Arsenal strike force is a completely different sport from the likes of stevie may and the likes

Dijkstra was error prone too for sure

Rangers cup game was one of the worst. Then he compounded the fury and misery by throwing one in within the first 10nins of the replay at ibrox.

This ^^The ref decided after the guy recovered that it was a free kick. Maybe the assistants or martingale had a word in his ear between such times

Alexander’s shut up shop tactic has worked far more times than it fails. I don’t enjoy watching it but it has been effective

Reinforcements required

Own up who voted for maguire? Not that he was terrible but van veen was playing a different level altogether

Van veen was a joy to watch

That was shambolic performance. Preseason or not alarm bells are truly ringing. We need 6 new players minimum

Got the result in the end but we look a million miles away from a top flight side right now. If we haven’t strengthened and improved by a week on Saturday it will be worrying for the season ahead
