Who needs a screen when you've got white walls?

No.....8mm camera and projector.

The club already have Video Analysis equipment, so you can put it towards something else.

Nothing I'm aware of.

I can't see clubs pricing the League Cup group matches at much (if anything) beyond the price they might set for an average pre-season friendly.

No pink? Uh Oh!!!!

The club have a 1 year option on Danny Devine. No idea if that is/will be taken up, but it means they wouldn't need to make an offer...just activate said option.

Definitely won't be as late in launching as last year and hopefully should have nailed down a date very soon.

Part of the £30,000 fine is suspended and will only be payable should they fork up again during whatever period has been attached to that.....so not as bad as being made out.

Great...now it looks like I lol'd at Kingsmills, which is not true. Well, not on this occasion.

I guess Rangers would be the biggest precedent as they fielded ineligible players for years. From here on in they should now be referred to as THE Dundee Utd and forced to start from the bottom of the league system.

I just lol'd.

The vast majority of sites ue a single source...Opta...these days (or get figures from others who use them), so when there's an error it goes out to everyone. Last week they had Danny WIlliams in the squad instead of Ryan Williams.

Official attendance was 2587.

As far back as I am aware, the club have never skimped in regards to looking after players health/fitness, wellbeing and recovery. Not including doctors, there's currently 3 people who monitor players and assist with setting specific programmes for each of them. I've never heard a bad word from any of the players in this regard...in fact, just the opposite. Interesting topic for discussion though and I will get around to having a proper chat (on tape) with these folk so we can all get a better insight into how this area of the club operates.

It must have fallen by the wayside after you were no longer involved at the club then. No matter, the important thing is that the club are making these tickets available and healthy, growing numbers are taking up the offer.

We've had 2 particularly bad injury seasons in the last 10+ years....one of them involved a few shoulder injuries and the like. That's far from being an indication that there's any underlying physical conditioning issues.

Correction made to our online stats.....Danny Williams had been included in the squad when it should have been Ryan Williams. Looks like an Opta error in the first instance as the mistake has been repeated on all stats sites.

That used to be the case and the scheme served as a proving ground to encourage the clubs current approach to getting groups of kids along to games. As you can see from the 3000 figure above, it has grown quite considerably from the seeds sown by CJT.

There's an open invite to any school that wants to take kids along to a game. In fact, it's not just schools as any kids/youth groups can contact the club and request tickets. The club gave away over 3000 free tickets to such groups last season. Not sure of numbers for this season, but I'd imagine it would be in the same ballpark.

He did spend a fair amount of time at the stadium today!

Mckay......small "k".

I find it very strange that they have set it up to petition against themselves by adding their own name in the "to" box.

I'm of the opinion that the inclusion of first team players does more to hinder positive results than help as you can't gain any consistency with an ever changing squad.....as can be seen by what's happened with our first team this season. Hamilton have a very young squad, but they are a squad that's been playing together all season with very few first team players being supplanted into the team. The benefits of that can be seen when you watch them play, both in individual performances and as a team. It is a bit of a catch 22...especially when you have a season like ours with lots of injuries and need to get players games to regain fitness etc. Also, the fact that we had a squad of 25 this season when we normally run with a squad of 18 means there's more demand for general game time to maintain some match sharpness. So....all things considered, yeah....a 3-3 against Hamilton with 5 first team players in there (or not) is a decent result. The fact that, despite the additional upheaval, we've improved across the board means there are still plenty positives to be taken from the season as well.
