  1. Looking forward to going up, but expecting a tough game to say the least. Speaking to a Dundee Utd mate a work reckoned they were worth the result against them, and are a big powerful team. Disappointed to lose the 3 goals against the Sheep, but other than that felt we've been fairly tight at the back - a lot of the goals against us have been individual errors, but hopefully that will be worked on during the week. Agree that going forward we don't look as sharp as last season, but it took a few games to click last year, so ever hopeful. Lawson coming back in is a gimme as far as I'm concerned, and if he's fit, I'd get Faddy off the wing and give him more of a free role behind the front one\two. Whatever team plays MON RA DOSSERS
  2. It was indeed a very disciplined performance for the most part over the two legs, but still disappointed we did n't have more of a go in the 2nd half last night. Still, we were far from embarrassed, so we move on, and looking forward now to Sunday MON RA DOSSERS
  3. Feel gutted for the lads as they worked hard, but yet again, we shoot ourselves in the foot with an avoidable own goal - and our penalty miss just put the tin lid on it BTW, plaudits to Neilson who looked the part VERY disappointed with the tactics in the 2nd half - again we go out of Europe with hardly a whimper Sooner Sunday's here the better, to hopefully get away from this style of play MON RA DOSSERS
  4. Would definitely have had Higginbotham back - unfortunate timing last season with Faddy coming back just after he arrived, but liked what I saw from him. MON RA DOSSERS
  5. Dare say the Sheep should recognise the signs as they've pretty much been in pole position for that accolade for more years recently than they'd care to admit to. MON RA DOSSERS
  6. The more Sheep, the better for filling our coffers And hopefully send them back up the road (to Carluke ) with the right result for the Dossers MON RA DOSSERS
  7. Pretty much what I was thinking last night - we did reasonably well in how we played, but they always looked like they had an bit of class that we didn't, especially going forward. Both goals were avoidable though, and as clever as the no. 99 was in setting it up, it just seemed too easy. Stevie Hammell's attempted pass for the 2nd was criminal, but I'd bet no one knows that more than Hammell himself. With a bit of luck, Sutton's header would have given us a glimmer of hope, but wasn't our night (again !), so we need to move on. As for the season ahead, no rash statements about where we'll finish in the league, but I'm fairly positive about what lies ahead - well pleased with Lawson & Vigurs, and on 1st viewing McManus looks the part and his experience will be invaluable. I like big Sutton, but as said previously, playing up on his own is just pointless. Faddy's Faddy, and you take what you get - the guy has the potential when he gets the ball to make things happen, and whilst it don't always work, the air of expectancy when he gets the ball is why I love watching him play. FWIW, I reckon Vigurs is in the same mould, that he'll have the ability to make things happen. An additional player or two would be ideal, but in reasonably good shape going forward. MON RA DOSSERS

    Seem to remember the fuss at the time, with what was a piece of paper\card, but that's the powers that be for you, although I've no doubt they'd argue the item thrown is irrelevant, it's the gesture that won't be tolerated. Either way, the club are probably right in taking the stance, and they'd be best to point out the consequence of anyone doing likewise on Thursday. As has been said, get as many flags etc in as poss, and why not go for the older fashioned twirling your scarf above your head as the team comes out: much as I can't stand them, I'm always quite impressed when the Jambos do it. Whatever we do, make a noise along with it MON RA DOSSERS
  9. My initial thoughts are that I quite fancy the trip with the potential of being off work on the 27th. And I suppose the Sheepies end up with a journey at this time of the year on a fair number of occassions, so maybe due a turn at home - as mentioned, outside of Utd and maybe St Johnstone, it's a journey for everyone MON RA DOSSERS
  10. Never the silkiest of guys, but every bit as important in a fantastic early\mid seventies team - like many of our past players in recent times, he's been taken way too soon RIP
  11. If I'm still helping with the 'wee' fellas team next year, I'll need to have stern words with the league committee and tell them no fixtures competing with the Mighty Well but at least we were 1 up as opposed to 1 down. Driving like a maddy from Falkirk's not recommended though. Intend being there in plenty off time this week as he's no game this week - see you there MON RA DOSSERS
  12. Would love to see a big away support in Perth for a repeat of yesterday - obviously want us to win, but going up to say farewell to what has turned out to be a real quality side, so not too bothered if we end up drawing Cannae wait already MON RA DOSSERS
  13. Gordon,

    Just in case it gets real busy on Sunday, can you 'advise' anyone who sits in our seats that Jamie and I will be there at some stage.

    Jamie's game in Falkirk doesn't finish until 15.30ish, so it'll be a mad dash through, but no way will we make the start unless his game gets started early which is unlikely.

    See you there.

    M...

  14. You have a good 'un - like the trips up there but unfortunately missing this one. Looking forward to a trip to Perth in a couple of weeks though - hopefully see you up there MON RA DOSSERS
  15. Quite like the new strip although I wouldn't have had the collar insert and I'd have stuck with amber sleeves. IMO, the above retro kit, simple as it is, is pretty unbeatable MON RA DOSSERS
  16. Just beggars belief that any club would want to discourage any fan from attending their ground I was probably going to go, but now of the opinion that why should we give them money if they're determined to keep part of our fan base away - for some away games that I've been at, they'd be next to no atmosphere at all if it wasn't for these guys. May be a night for a trip out to FP MON RA DOSSERS
  17. I thought we played reasonably well against the Midden at their place in December, but a combination of not making the most of numerous good chances, and giving away two poor goals right on half-time killed us. And that type of games is what worries me about them - going back to MacPherson's time, they just seem to get the better of us, whether deserved or otherwise. Would love to see another good performance and scoreline, but as long as we score one more than them, I'll take it MON RA DOSSERS
  18. Looking at the prices, would guess it's either £9 or £6 - this is a situation where it may be worth contacting the club to see if there's a possibility of getting a complimentary. I know the club want to maximise income, but these nippers are potentially the Dossers of the future, and why not do everything possible to get the bug of going into them. 5's & under should be free entry anyway IMO MON RA DOSSERS
  19. Changed days indeed - remember in the old terracing days you could have a look over the wall and have a look at a fair number waiting to get in for nothing at half time or just after. Miserable barstewards MON RA DOSSERS
  20. There's a statement ! MON RA DOSSERS
  21. Last time I got there that late, the steward opened the gate and let me in that way, although maybe I caught him on a good day: I'm pretty sure they leave one gate open to half time as it is. Might be best to keep yourself right though, and give the club a call to confirm. MON RA DOSSERS
  22. Completely agree with Sieb & above Wasn't really up for Saturday, and in general, I got the feeling that was the case for a large part of the crowd as there was little atmosphere when the game started - but credit where it's due, I thought it was a really good game. Enjoyed our forward play, with plenty to be happy about, and Higginbotham did himself no harm by the willingness to chase things down, and run at players when the opportunity arose - sure, he lost the ball a fair few times, but it didn't stop him going back for more. He, Ojamaa and Law on that type of form could cause teams real problems . All in all, looking forward to tomorrow night MON RA DOSSERS
  23. Got no doubt that we should be beating the Sheep, home or away, but I reckon tonight will way too close Has to be said though that I'm a lot more positive after Saturday's display, especially 1st half - we knocked the ball about well, as we often do, but it seemed to have a sense of purpose about it on Sat. Not sure who I'd drop, but I thought Angol did enough to be well in contention for a start, and for me it'd be in front of Hammy again - let Hammy do his job and FZA can power on Whoever plays, cannae wait MON RA DOSSERS
  24. ICT will have to start with more players up the park, as they did for the last 10 mins of the 1st - we weather the storm and don't concede early, we should be too strong for them, but we have to force the play as much as possible. Certainly look impressive so far MON RA DOSSERS
  25. +1 Was intending to head up yesterday, but today just wasn't an option MON RA DOSSERS
