Personally I hope Fraser does well in Malta. I can't help thinking there has been undeserved negativity aimed at him, not only in this thread but other similar ones, since he left us. Admittedly he isn't as good a keeper as his predecessor, Mark Brown, nor his successor, Ryan Esson, but nevertheless I feel he did an adequate job for us. I prefer to remember him more favourably for his 'out of this world' save against Celtic, which as much as anything else won that memorable 3-2 game for us. Good luck to him.

The game can not and will not be played on a Saturday. It will be played on Tuesday 23rd November as advised. This date will definitely not change, so it won't be moved to a Saturday, no matter how much you would like it to be. So just to make it clear it will be held on Tuesday 23rd November with a 7.30pm kick off. November is because that's the date Ross County set and nothing to do with Roy potentially leaving in . Roy has a contract until the end of the season, so there would be little likelyhood of him going anywhere in January. I'm kind of remembering why I don't post on here much now

Your contrariness p1$$es me off. We were outplayed, outclassed and deservedly beaten by a bunch of Eskimos last night. We should surely be asking ourselves why countries like that have come on leaps and bounds over the past ten years, while we have gone steadily backwards.

Not as long as a contract for life !!!

green dot for that one. We have been close to the precipice on more than one occasion and as noted above, we might be singing a very different tune ourselves had Dundee sustained their challenge last year and it was us who bottled it. I never have, and never will wish extinction on any club. I may point fingers at a club who go through financial issues due to mismanagement of finances, and I may be scathing about those who run that club, but at the end of the day, lets not forget that each of those clubs have supporters just like us who are 'normal' football fans supporting the team of their choice and would be devastated if their team went to the wall. For each ar**hole spouting garbage about winning leagues or being smug about how much money they have (when they have it), you have a dozen folk like Heilandee (for example) who just want to support their team and who are all too well aware of what has happened through the bad times as well as the good. As said above ..... 'there but for the grace of god' (and Terry Butcher). As much as he draws a lot of criticism from others, and as much as I have both praised him and also criticised him myself, that is why I am still very thankful for the likes of David Sutherland. I was in the middle of things when we first had a financial hurdle to climb and when we were very close to going to the wall. As noted in Ian Broadfoot's book, I came up with a "pay a player" scheme to try and help out then manager Steve Paterson when it looked like we were going to struggle to pay existing players let alone sign new ones. Fortunately we didnt have to go much further than working on the actual idea and it was never implemented as DFS came along and basically put a financial model in place that has seen us try to live within our means most years. We have had a few ups and downs in the ensuing years, and as we know from the last couple of years, things have not always been smooth sailing between DFS, our Board, and the Fans. We also do not get it right all the time but in general we are a club that is well run financially and all too well aware of how precarious football finances are.

Whatta guy Daisy was. Kinlochbervie's finest. I remember him in the mid 90's at Telford Street ripping the absolute Michael out of the Brechin/Forfar/Albion Rovers full back.

would you take any of the dundee players? i would take harkins if available for free. im sure richie could get rid of the ego he seems to have and get him working well in the team

Fingers crossed for a Saturday fixture.

Anyone remember Daisy Ross? I have only seen him play once, was he any good for Elgin or Caley?
