    A spell in Division 1 will be a good opportunity to blood our youngsters and build a team from within our own ranks which will hopefully, within a couple of seasons, challenge for promotion back to the Championship.

    OMG no it won't. Just as a spell in the championship has been disastrous this would be worse.

    Eh, one place higher than we would've been if Dodds had stuck about. Poor loan signings yes, but he has also had to deal with the fodder that Dodds had brought in in the Summer Window

    Getting rid of Dodds was correct decision. However he was not replaced by the right person at that time imho

    Of course I am swayed by the memories of Dunc the toffee and I know that his fighting spirit will never die. I could argue and argue on here but to me this is NOT the team that Dunc wanted it was more about staying within unbelievable budget restrictions. And who do we have to go "direct" FFS ?? We dont play pretty football - we simply do not have any particular individual who can turn a game.  Lets face it this team are the worst in our history and our only escape route is the dogs of war mentality.

     

    Where is the evidence of the dogs of War mentality? I haven't seen any sign of it. His post match interviews are now bizarre and show no urgency or acceptance of where we are. We last won at home in November. I just want this season to end.

    Yellow cards for simulation can be appealed - for Kerr's first booking how evident was the simulation? Was the ref unsighted?

    We were down other end so hard to tell. Ref seemed right on it and flashed yellow quickly. Doubt we will win without good evidence tbh

    Given the apparent financial predicament of the club, has there been any discussion about the size of last year's Scottish Cup bonus? On the face of it the sum being talked about was well over £1m and if that was the case that should have given some stability for a year. 

    I'm told it paid off directors loans?

    Didn’t make it to Firhill today, but two mates did. When he came over and heard some dissent his attitude changed immediately. He couldn’t believe fans would be disgruntled. He is absolutely detached  from the reality of where we are. This is dire  ☹️.

    I don't think he has a clue re where we are this season. His priorities are so obviously different to ours? What on earth made him come over like that. Got pretty unpleasant as he seemed to gesture we lost due to be 10 men? Em no we didn't....

  7. Not long home. Where to start....

    Most of 1st half we were better team. Heading towards 0-0 at half time when Samuel quite clearly manhandled to ground. Beaton says no pen....really? To add insult to injury Partick go up other end and score. Looked suspiciously offside to us but given. 

    Never really got going after that. Could have played till midnight and not scored. No idea re Kerr first yellow but second was just madness. Dunc seems clueless. Looks like board were starstruck and we are stuck with him. Feel sorry for the players as they put in a shift but we really are a poor team and fully deserve to be in 9th sadly. 

    Not sure I can face a home game next week....

    The stats aren’t actually bad for a match away to the side in 3rd place, and with us a man down for half an hour!

    I was there. If we played till midnight we wouldn't have scored. After the non pen then their offside goal we never looked like doing anything

    Cameron Ferguson has signed for Forres, who thanked ICT for making this possible - not exactly sure what we did other than have him on trial for a few weeks.

    Apparently we can't sign him due to English FA rules? He's been at Newcastle, Newcastle u21s and Forfar. So that's the technicality

    No, income has dropped. Prize money and gate receipts massively down since the Premiership days.

    Certain running costs have increased with energy being one of them, and Big Dunc won’t be cheap, but look at the current squad and compare it with the one we had even in our relegation season. We are certainly not spending more than we did in the Premiership.

    We are very top heavy management wise off park. A few probably on bumper salaries. 

    I expect income has dropped too as very few fan activities under the current regime. Hospitality for example is top bracket only with no cheaper offerings

    Can anyone who was at the game shed any light on who was booked when Moult scored. Was it Carragher and Bollan as shown on ICT twitter account or Boyes as shown everywhere else??? Or maybe all three???

    Caleycalum assures me it was Carragher.

    Great away day today. The young lads down the front were very vocal………… Sack The Board and Gardiner out were the main chants. A bridge & Castle for full effect was also flung in ,  Love it…….. but why only away days  ??????  Do you think SG and any board members were at the game, if so they surely heard it. 

    Because they wouldn't be allowed to sing such ditties at home?

    Is it just me wondering how on earth Cillian Sheridan is managing to score regularly for Queen's Park?  Apparently Sean Welsh was very good again today.  Like others I agree a point at Dundee United under normal circumstances would be a welcome one and it is. However, we are in a predicament which means we cannot be happy with a draw in any match.  I hope we go to Partick next week with an attacking mentality.  We are running out of matches and must do everything we can to win every one of them.

    Truth...I don't think he ever got a proper chance with us? Look at Oakley too. Sometimes down to a system

    The other results haven’t helped at all. Could have done with Ayr taking at least a point against Queens which would have reined them in. Instead our nearest rivals are Ayr with a game in hand. Also the Pars winning at Morton has stretched their lead.

    Fearing what's to come now. Big Duncs interview was bizarre given our position. Yes a point at United would be fine other times but with Ayr having a game in hand and the games running out we are in a precarious position
