    Berra is not in a buyer's market. He may have to get humble.

    Lifeline for Christophe Berra..?

    Superb football in the first half. Superb support......................especially 'Paul McGowan..................does your Mum cut your hair?' and as the dejected Dundee supporters trudged out 'Was there a fire alarm?' However, with 20 games gone, the transfer window and bad weather soon to affect games, we should be realistic and fully accept that Dundee United will be worthy champions. Congratulations to them. However, we must grind out results to see if we can take second.

    ''Atlanta United are weighing up a £200,000 move for Hearts winger Jake Mulraney. (Daily Record).'' Hope there was a sell on clause in his transfer.

    Starry, starry night...I could have told you Vincent that save was never meant for you....

    Why moan? 2-0 against a very good Dunfermline side charging up the table was a very good result. You could go through the whole team and pick out good points with every player. Here are a few. Aaron looked really on form yesterday. Carson adds real bite and drive to the midfield. Trafford has now bedded in and deserves his place. Keatings is building up his fitness again. Rooney is the chief overlapping nutmegger. White wins a lot of headers on throw ins. Miles now able to check back and defend when danger threatens. Mark made some absolutely crucial saves. The back five had a fair amount of control over possession and were looking to set up attacks rather than dilly and dally as happened earlier in the season. Five clean sheets out of the last six games is good news going forward. We are currently operating with quite a settled team. Here's hoping Nottingham Forest soon come up with a big money offer for Shankland which would motivate all teams in the Championship to haul back Dundee United. So lets be very positive going into the game against Arbroath because if ever an opposition needed a doing at the Caledonian Stadium it is they.

    Always thought the Dundee game was a season's game changer. Beating Ayr now becomes very crucial in terms of using this run to our advantage. Our passing yesterday was at times a delight to watch. Remember that at the beginning of October Alloa beat Dundee United 1-0. They are no mugs on their artificial pitch. Our cup game down there will be extremely challenging. Sooner or later we will be able to say 'I was there' to see Jordan score a hat trick. He scored two yesterday but both were offside so given his record against Ayr, here's hoping!! Robbo was very vocal yesterday so here's hoping he's feeling great after being bed ridden a few weeks back and really gets the team to peak next week.

    After his award this past week by the UHI, Graeme Shinnie scored a stunning 92 minute winner for Derby County with his RIGHT foot. Pleased for him after a difficult start at the club.

    Extremely poor performance today despite considerable effort to rectify the loss of the early goal. Carl surprised everyone with his finish including himself. In days gone by he has scored a few for us but that was his finest. If there is one lesson we should have learned again today - do not underestimate the diddy teams. After last weeks cup result the team probably thought they had an easyish game especially with Flannigan suspended. Hopefully lesson learned. We do not want to go up the table and then be unable to sustain it. We actually made progress today. If the team do not get over confident next week after two previous positive results against Morton this season then hard work and a good result will keep us up with Ayr and United and ahead of Dundee.

    Clyde did beat Arbroath away so will be quite confident. Managed by Danny Lennon, they do of course have a former £2m Scottish International leading their attack and now their captain. However, we have so far not underestimated the opposition in this competition and should therefore just start as favourites to progress.

    That was a very good exercise for the club. Tactically we changed the team to provide more experience for younger players and those needing more game time. Robbo given the afternoon off. Unlike some previous years we did not lose because of such changes and performances means Robbo has a selection headache for next week. A different style but very important game next week. I think yesterday's game was the performance and result we needed to follow up the Ayr result.

    In terms of gratitude, as supporters we owe a great deal to those who have worked very hard and achieved financial success, and then in effect donate to their football club. Imagine where the club would be if that was not the case. To the outgoing chairman and his associates, we owe them a debt of gratitude. What is important going forward is a clear need to return to good stewardship.

    Great guy. Echo what has been said on here. Hope that the medical condition does not impact on his future career. We only ever saw him with a smile on his face. He wore the number 16 shirt with pride especially in the famous cup final win.
  14. CELTIC1CALEY3
    We need to await the EGM. Remember that the club now have the asset of the stands and in terms of the going concern test certainly have three Directors who believe that to be the case.

    Have you costed this idea? Business rates are pretty high, unless there are copious reliable volunteers then staff costs are high, technology and other start up costs could be high. If this fails, then the club's balance sheet worsens. There can be no guarantee that this suggestion will result in a significant increase in revenue to justify the expense...I may be wrong but am happy to see your proposals. I am sure the club would too if it is viable.
  16. CELTIC1CALEY3
    The crowd number may have been disappointing but the positive (home) support for the team is a major breakthrough. Long may that continue especially in adversity. Some comments here about an easy win - no such thing!! If we are to do well we must never underestimate a team - Partick will be very dangerous next Saturday!!

    Quite an honour too for ICT to have him leading the club as Manager.

    Clever shout from Aaron to his mate Devine after many games of basketball in Inverness.....'my ball Danny'..........but to be fair to Devine here is a quote from his time in Inverness 'There’s a few Irish boys here and we stick together. .... I’m quite close to him, but also Aaron Doran. We try and get out to socialise away from football when we can.'

    Dunfermline were the better team in the first half. Tremarco made a vital headed clearance off the line after about three minutes. The early use of substitutes ultimately won us the three points. Dunfermline's substitute Danny Devine was given a very warm reception by our large travelling support and returned the favour with the handball to enable us to achieve our first away league win of the season. Every little helps and the history books will show we won. Three league games in a row with a clean sheet. The wind caused problems for both teams. Pity really because the playing surface was first class but underused.

    This must be great experience for our lads. More great publicity for the Fort. Imagine the publicity if we had a young player called Ben Nevis and he had gotten the winner!!

    A draw was probably a fair result but towards the end we had very good chances to win the game. Playing Storey changed the dynamics although generally we played better than in the Betfred Cup. We contained McGowan better this time. Dundee did use their three subs before we used any which was a bit of a worry as we dipped slightly. However, we picked up when Roddy was introduced with Jordan. The latter did win his headers but with balls played to him then gave away possession. He really needs a boost. Toddy had about 8 minutes when he came on and had one half chance which he nearly took. Expect himt overtake Jordan soon. Jordan will come back though. Overall this was a stabilisation result after those two bad visits to Dundee and if we do not get too cocky, should give us confidence to pick up.

    The performances by Partick, Dunfermline and to a slightly lesser extent Morton, show how highly competitive the Championship will be again. I suspect Dundee could get a good result today against a deflated Aberdeen side. We need to be on absolutely top form this Saturday.
  23. CELTIC1CALEY3
    Credit to Rooney who looked knackered at the end - great effort after a long time out. White looked thinner in white but still failed to convert a lot of Walsh deliveries to his head in the first half. Carson is a very good new recruit - he has played in a few positions already and looks very promising. Vincent for me is very lively. Pleased to see him back. I thought Arbroath played extremely well. They have some very good players and should have retaken the lead immediately after half time. We were lucky not to be in the same hole as we were against Cove. Walsh did have a very good game and will probably be happier assisting Todorov but needs Robbo to rest White. Keatings is another good signing but like most of the team needs more game time before we wake up. However, two games in, and we have hauled ourselves off the bottom. The Championship is a brutal league to be in. Dundee United look as though they will walk the first place as long as Shankland remains fit. As for the other 9 teams, it is safe to say there are 3 play off spots up for grabs and we need to target one of them. Onwards to Dundee in two weeks time and it is time we achieved something there again.

    Hopefully a fitting tribute.

    Difficult to Trump that piece of wisdom!
