  1. Who calls their band Shutter? :015:
  2. Some classic bitterness over on the County site :015:
  3. Hopefully he does sign but the cynical side of me suggests this might have to do with ensuring that we recieve a fee for him if he does decide to leave. However, I think that he could do better than Dundee Utd, especially if he has a stand out season in the SPL. Look, for example, at Burton O'Brien and David McNamee who used success at Livingston to sign for Sheffield Wednesday and Coventry City respectively, or Daryll Duffy who went to Hull City from Falkirk. Black would make more money and give himself a better chance at a great career if he went to England rather than cash in his chips early and go to tannadice.
  4. Report from HighlandLeague.net
  5. We'd be better off signing Mick McManus.
  6. We lost 3-2. Peterhead goals from Wood (2) and Linn. Barry Wilson and Darren Dods scored for us. Team: Brown,McCaffery,Morgan,Munro,Dods,Black,Wilson,Wyness,McAllister,R ankin,McBain
  7. I would probably agree with the previous posts about Granty24's team.
  8. I remember in 1995 when we signed Ian Stewart the Daily Record did an article about us having the shortest strike force in Scottish footbal, with Stewarty and Charlie.
  9. Craig Dargo is obviously our best striker. Dennis played well and bagged a good tally of goals last season and they have to start together up front. Bayne is a different type of player and I think he comes in for some undeserved criticism. Big targetmen strikers and defensive midifielders are always the first targets for the 'boo boys' in football but I think that Bayne did a sterling job for us in 2004/05 and was unlucky with injury last season. He isn't a goalscorer but his tireless workrate and physical presence give us different options up front. This season is McAllister's make-or-break, I feel. He has been given run-outs here and there and scored a few in the reserves but he has to really demonstrate he has it in him to be an SPL player this time out. In the few first team games I 've seen him in he has looked nervous and makes basic errors. Hopefully next season he can use the experience he built up last time out and eliminate this carelessness from his play as I think he has the potential to be a good player for us. For me, barry Wilson is a right winger, he plays best and contributes most when he is on the right wing, not the left wing or up front. He is decent cover to have but should be just that - cover.
  10. From today's Daily Record: Just read about a bit on this guy he was on loan for a couple of games to Tamworth in the Conference last season. He has also played for Scotland Under 17s and can play on either wing.
  11. Advert in today's Dundeh Courier: LOST - One plot. Believed to have gone missing around January in Tannadice area. If found please return with utmost urgency to: C. Broooster, Tannadice Park, Dungdeh. Note: if returning lost item in person please take care with revolving door when entering stadium.
  12. Any idea who the trialists were then?
  13. I'm sure there could be other interested parties. St Mirren had bids in for him in the january window, but have since signed Richie Brittain. Motherwell have been linked as well as Yeovil.
  14. If he wants a huge ammount of cash then we can't beheld to ransom. From reading postings on other sites it seems that there could have been an issue relating to a percentage of the transfer fee going to County. If it is off then perhaps we can move back fro Hoolahan. However, these transfer 'sagas' often sort themselves out in the end.
  15. Certainly I think that Black could stay another season and sign for a better club than Dundee Utd. If he plays consistently tot he level he can I'd think that he could get a move to England. Dods and Dargo are obviously a bit older and if Dundee Utd are offering them far more money then it might be difficult to persuade them, although I think that Dargo is still young enough to aspire to bigger things than Tannadice. I think the most important players to keep at the club are Mark Brown, Darren Dods and Craig Dargo, good to see that we are pushing the boat out to keep them.
  16. Today's Metro reports that there has been a hitch in the deal, involving Ross County and John Rankin. It's nothing to do with us and Rankin's agent is apparently speaking to County to get it resolved.
  17. Mark Kerr is routinely booed off the park by Yinted fans. Collin Samuel is absolute garbage, £100,000 he cost :010: Barry Robson is being 'found out' and Lee Miller was poor for most of last season. For the money paid for them they have been poor signings. To be honest, that might be down to playing for Yinted :015: On the other side of the coin, Tim Cahill came from a lower league to Everton and has been an amazing signing for the Toffees. Here's hoping he takes after him and not the pish above. :003:
  18. We are more likely to finish 5th than 3rd. :007: How is the seeding done for this qualifying? Both World Cup finalists in one group, what a load of pish.
  19. The highest level in Scotland. I think Rankin could make the step up but there is a long line of players who were stand outs in the First Division who haven't done well in the SPL - Mark Kerr, Lee Miller, Collin Samual, Barry Robson even Dennis Wyness. I suppose I am putting across the converse point of view. It could be a fantastic signing, he could be the best young player going and revel at ICT, I hope he does.
  20. TM4TJ, it's true that everyone is untested but we have paid a very large transfer fee for an untested player, it's a big risk. Dundee Utd and Aberdeen bought a number of highly regarded First Division players for similar fee's a few years ago and got their fingers burned. I think he'll do well for us like, but it's a big fee for a player who is essentially untested at the highest level.
