  1. Young Campbell reminds me of Ally Mauchlen. Emery determination and can play . Seen this boy a few years ago in the U20s and was really impressed . Early day but looks the business . If he gets consistency we're onto a winner here
  2. No issues . Erwin helped us stay up . That'll do for me . Good luck to the boys . Just not today
  3. Great day of business today . Taken in approx 1M and squad not been weakened . Liked Grimshaw first time round and centre half in with experience . Much better balance to squad this season and competition for places all over the park . That keeps players on there toes . Overall very contented . Still think best bit of business was managing to hold our nerve re Moult . Losing his goals would have undermined a lot of the good business we have done
  4. Just watched the highlights of game . That was some save from our keeper at 2-1 . Looks the part .
  5. Great effort by the whole team yesterday . Much more height and power in the team compared to last few years and seem much fitter as last few seasons we looked jaded in the second half . Mchugh is a workhorse breaking up play but he needs to be better with his passing . Seems to want to play the difficult pass more than the simple one and that put us in a lot of trouble in rangers and hearts games . Overall much better on the eye this season . Starting to see robinsons stamp on the team now . Looks like height power strength and fitness are his big thing . Don't think we'll get bullied much this season
  6. Superb piece of business . Well done to all involved at the club for getting this done
  7. Getting relegated because we can't score goals would also be detrimental to the club model. And possibly more damaging long term . Can see both arguments to be honest but as I say very relaxed about the situation . Also Robinson seems to be too . Starting to like what I here from him .
  8. Louis Moult has been a terrific signing on and off the park and thoroughly deserves all the accolades thrown his way . Hope he gets what he's looking for and I'm easy either way . See's his contract out and scores goals for us and keeps us up then happy days . That's worth more than £500k. If he leaves for cash then we take it get somebody else and move on . That's the way it works . That's the model and I for one am pretty relaxed about it . But as I say one way or another he's been a great ambassador for our club and wish him well whatever happens
  9. Yeah also couldn't manage on Saturday but sounds a great wee day . Well done Jay and to all those involved
  10. Not the quickest but used his considerable experience to get out a few scary seasons. All in all a very good signing and think he will be very influential with regards the kids . Ideal post and possibly a future manager . So thanks for your efforts big man and all the very best in your new post
  11. Happy enough with Dunne . Athletic and powerful . Looks ok to me .
  12. Dissapointed in mchugh today . Stray passes and caught in procession caused us problems in first half . Surprised as well as dissapointed tbh .
  13. Yeah defo look stronger,fitter and much more height in the team . Acid test will be when league gets going. Always felt fitness was an issue last few years but much younger team now with more pace . Thought big Dunne looks capable
  14. Similar in many ways to big Hutch . Could have sold him in the January of his last season . Kept him . Ended up making two unbelievable tackles up at pittodrie when game was 0-0in last game of the season . Ended up 2nd and got more money than if we'd sold him . Gamble paid off.Moult could end up doing same for us . Point is it's not as straight forward as some think . These are massive decisions and can work for or against you .
  15. Congratulations Keith on your appointment . Wish you all the best in your new role . If you put the same effort and commitment into managing as you did playing we're in good hands
  16. Secure premier status asap . Anything after that is a bonus . That's the reality
  17. Be happy if Scougall signs . If memory serves me he played against us for Livvy few years back in league cup game and was outstanding that night . Also seems to have done well at Sheffield Utd . If we get him it would be a cracking signing . Fingers crossed .
  18. Comes across as a thoroughly decent person . As long as he makes decisions (unlike John Boyle )with his head not his heart then we should be fine. Of course he makes mistakes . Who doesn't . But as that old saying goes for those that want rid of him all I can say is be careful what you wish for . Don't think he'd be out a job long !!!!!!!
  19. Slightly off subject but what is the difference in prize money between 10th and 9th
  20. Some of the guys signed and eventually playing in a motherwell shirt was shocking and simply not good enough . Not sure McGhee involvement as heard he didn't watch them pre signing but was recommended them . That for me has got to change . Judging Robinson is difficult as he inherited a mix of some poor and burnt out ones . Only once the new season starts and recruitment is done will we be able to compare the two .
  21. I'm sure he knows the players he wants and needs to fit into his philosophy . Whoever he signs I expect to see a fitter and more aggressive squad next season . So on that basis be interesting to see his initial signings as that will be an indicator of what he wants . Also get the feeling sentiment won't come into it as he alluded to in his interview . Difficult bit is getting the contracted players he doesn't rate out . Easier said than done . Wish him luck with that one . But for me he's been correct in saying we need a massive rebuild . A different minder will be just as important . I wish him well . Big job but needs done . Can't carry on like last season that's for sure
  22. Far to easy to blame Alan Burrows when team isn't doing well . Human nature always looks for somebody to blame . That's not his remit as I understand it . That's what a manager gets paid for . Believe he does a sterling job in the day to day business of running the club and does much more than his remit requires . Also been told he is well respected by other COO from other clubs . In fact one in particular said he is a workaholic and puts crazy hours in . So on that basis he'll do for me .
  23. Looks like we're going to have to get use to some of these players next season as a good few of them signed on two year deals . Blyth , bowman , clay all have one year left . Frear has two years left .
  24. Well done to everybody who attended the game yesterday . Great support throughout and reckon it really helped in getting us a result . Same again on Tuesday and hopefully it'll get us over the line . Massive game now
