so it is too much to ask our directors, most of whom i am sure will be shareholders, to put a little money into the club? any football club requires investment, we required someone to step in and prevent disaster a few years back and Sutherland did just that, and while we are making losses and going further into the red, while not being able to guarantee any form of supplementary income during the season, surely it would not be too much to ask for our directors to put a little money in to keep the club going? i put my money in, do my bit as do the others who follow the team, and if i had money at my disposal and more of an expendable income then i wouldn't hesitate to do a bit more. perhaps they already have sunk some money in, none of my business, just my view on the role of a director.

right fair enough, in a bit of a huff when i wrote that. although i never said a word against the locals, they go to lengths to get accurate information, but it does get annoying when the NOTW, the Mail or the Express all or a variation of 2 out of the 3 have exactly the same story, obviously written by the same man.

jim spence was talking absolute crap with his post-match analysis, he was saying that it was ony because of two defensive mistakes that dundee lost points. pathetic, why on earth is there a self-proclaimed dundee fan offering just plain lies, even the papers clearly did not have a man at the game, they just went with what that muppet said.

to be honest i couldn't think of another dundee player who had played that well. if that is dundee's limits and that is the extent of their performances this season - :D if we did have roscoe back he would have had harkins in his back pocket.

fantastic first half, the second calmed down quite a bit, but the players seemed to prove a point. coming back from 1-0 then 2-1 down against a team who spent more in one summer than we have on transfers in our entire history, a point well-earned. foran and sanchez were immense up front, altho sanchez perhaps a little lacking in strikers sharpness when fluffing two shots in the 2nd when he probably should have scored both. the midfield was strong, cox and hayes in particular, eagles seems to either be lacking match fitness (surely not) or just confidence. stratford was strong, but at times let a few players forget he was there. defence was excellent, lionel and munro superb and bulvitis did a good job when covering for proctor and placing the clamps on harkins. proctor though was probably the weak link, didn't track back well in the first half, was at fault for the 2 goal, improved in the 2nd half, but then that was mostly with hayes tracking back as well. once roscoe is back then we will have the best defence in the division. good point, even with 3 key players missing (and if dundee were without harkins, kerr or bullock we would have beaten them easily).

not good not good. a loss two years running? there was me thinking we were on of the best run clubs around. not quite in the millions region, but if we don't generate some money this year from cups/promotion, and assuming none of our esteemed director decide to put in some money into the club, then it'll be getting to that stage.

cracking game, had some width at last with roscoe and hayes on form. shinnie was a possible mom, maybe even cox again for a commanding role at cm. the only concern was that maybe sanchez and foran are not quite on the same wavelength, looks as though it will come in time.

yep i'll be there, looks like it'll just be a few hundred though, i'd be amazed if stranraer brought anyone up for this one.

also interesting to see the reaction of the players (especially Foran) to the away crowd at dundee. although if Foran does not play up to his usual standards at the weekend then he has to be able to accept that he will get heckled, even though it doesn't quite sound right with myself, it will happen. Wouldn't expect any abuse of the new boys just as yet though, its obvious that there is no lack of effort, seems more like a lack of luck.

thats a bit steep. sounds as though there is going to be a good support, perhaps bigger than the Pars?

aye spot on, this year it is more important simply not losing than winning. In terms of getting to know each other though, I think there has been enough time and pre-season cup games for that, as well as training. The Ayr game was simply a less talented team sticking to their tactics well and stopping us create anything from midfield, as well as a few under-par performances.

me and the old man

Yeah! We don't want any Christians supporting OUR team! course i am not that extreme, most of my family happen to be christian, but i just think it is a sad statement. not sad in the sense that these people choose to lead their lives in such a way, just sad in that our fanbase of old seems to have disappeared completely.

someone said to me yesterday that the rise in the season ticket sales was down to the fact that now ICT wouldn't be playing their big games on a sunday, and now the religious sect of caleys support felt more obliged to buy one. if that is true, and i slightly doubt it, then it is ridiculous. i love living in the highlands and visiting the many central belt sh*tholes is a stark contrast, but these people have to move back the western isles (perhaps not on a sunday ferry crossing tho) asap. i also grew up with the football, as well as being raised working class style, and i seem to be doing alright.

yes, a very bad person. no, i am a traditional enough fan, if you don't want to hear bad language then don't pay ?15 to sit in a crowd where you are 100% likely to encounter just that. i did not boo at the end of the game, just left silently. i'll be at dundee, with any luck i'll be at all of the games this year, i hope never to have to see a performance bad enough to boo, and plenty to cheer on. Im lost, so in your opinions im a bad person, because of what? I bood the bad desisions the ref made, I said the off Funk Sake when the ball was fluffed and enjoyed my day sining the songs sung, I think you'll find at the start of the game when the teams came out it was the Section G that I saw getting a clap from the odd player Granty seemed to love the songs and when warming up players were running about in front to the sections they gave the odd thumbs up and wave to the area.. Im got to take a punt vision and say you sit in the main stand? don't quite know whether you got it or not, but i was talking with my tongue firmly in cheek. i am a section g season ticket holder as well, already proclaimed my digust for all things main stand.

home support is sh$te anyway. the players have already seen the ict support at its best, and they are going to get 100% support away to dundee next week.

forgotten about todays game (and will hopefully forget about caleyd's shirt in the near future), just looking forward to making the trip to dundee.

well the players know how to stop these bad people booing. just put the ball into the net and we will be happy.

Good enuff performance today, not a classic, but winning the 1st division will be about not losing games rather than winning them. Cox MOM by far, showing desire to win the ball, rather than some of the others who decided to hide today. Eagles was largely disappointing, he didn't take anyone on on the left or right, hayes was a slight improvement but dropped a wee bit in the second half. Foran was poor up front, thought he would be a big hit for us but was fighting a losing battle against the beast kevin james. Sanchez looked good, linking play nicely, if we just had a bit of luck like last week we would have definitely had the 3 points and would be top. Anyway, if we don't get beaten by dundee and get the regulatory 3 points against the gypos then we will have had a good start to the season.

on a serious note i'd be delighted to submit anything, as long as its deemed of any value.

bagsy rossco's 500th game.

great video man, i have already uploaded it onto my laptop. just want to hear a soundbite of the game, just to hear the atmosphere.

roscoe v the pars in the spl bazza v utd

the fans all made a massive difference yesterday, gave the players a lift and they appreciated it at the end. as for allison, couldn't care less. if the stories are true, which i doubt, then it could almost be described as just, although there were a fair few singing it. if the stories aren't true, ah well, it was probably only for the one match, and they won't try it at home games. allison's a big boy, i think he can handle it. as for the abuse of brewster, none of it was overboard, and he deserved what he got. everyone seems to have mellowed a bit, time seems to be a good healer on this site.
