Away against anybody - shown this season we have nothing to fear!!! Although I'd perfer to avoid, Parkhead, Castle Greyskull. or Tynecastle

Rather than wasting cash on 'squad' players who are no better than what we have right now, we should be using the cash to keep Rooney on a long term deal. If we need to fill the bench, give some youth players a chance. If we cant get Rooney on a long term deal though, perhaps we have to consider what fee we can get in Jan (controverisal I know) and look towards Dundee & Griffiths - although we may not be able to afford him & compete with the bigger clubs that will circle, but retaining Rooney for the next few years should be top priority. Any gaps in the squad we should look to bring in loans from elsewhere, look at Motherwell with Blackman etc - consolidation this year is the key and retaining SPL status which Rooney will greatly help with rather than 'splashing cash' on wages/fees for bit part bench warmers.

Think I'd be right in saying that when this happened with Pompy that they got a dispensation to sell players outwith the transfer window, onder if that will happen with Dundee, although I'm sure that a player like Griffiths would appeal to 'bigger' SPL clubs like Hearts, Hibs & Utd maybe even some english teams, which would probably clear some of the debt in one go. Also sure a few other young players ould be worth some cash, they must have enough assets in terms of playing staff to clear the 350k debts?

the SPL has almost split into little groups over the last few years, I think we will be fighting with St J to be the 7th/8th along with hibs. Can see aberdeen scraping top 6 and then the 3 teams fighting relegation - hopefully we can keep clear of that. But overall I'd say we are on a par with St J at the moment, top 6 is unrealtistic IMO. Top 2 - OF next 3 - Dundee UTD, Mother well, Hearts next 4 - Aberdeen, hibs, St J, ICT Relegation battlers - killie, hamilton, st mirren probably Midden for the drop this year.

Yeah, seems an odd choice. I'm not a Miller fan but this is probably his best ever form, although he hasn't really shown himself to be a reliable scorer at this level, saying that I'd rather see him play than a totally untested player who hasnt even got european or top flight experience. I would understand if Fletcher had been given the nod over Miller as I really think based on last year @ Burnley he is a genuie top class player who can score & create in games where th oposition is on top - he would be a goal threat. As for Caldwell, not a lot of other options for a holding role, although I'm not sure if 'Super' Charlie Adam deseved a start due to his good early Prem form and creativity.

Not at all, none of my mates support their local teams (glory hunting OF fans). Dont get the oppertunity to attend many ICT games now due to work, but over the years I've been to home & away games - remember tho although you're on your own - you are NOT alone

I believe - although based on the league and fixtures, Tue night is shaping up to be the biggest game of the season. We win its then 100% in our hands, anything else in the game and its going to be nervy. We are in control of the Dundee situation now, even if it goes to the last game of the season.......but County - we need to finish the job

I would get him signed up.......just for the chance to swatch Amy MacDonald in the crowd

May as well go attacking and give the game a go, lets face it we arent qualifying anyways. Would like to see Miller left to keep the bench warm as its his best position!!! Think the physical presence of O'Connor could cause a few problems plus he can actually hold the ball up. Gordon Hutton Berra Wier G.Alexander Faddy S.Brown Fletcher Maloney S.Fletcher G.O'Connor

A truely awful display of managerial incompetance. I dont want to call for Burley to go, but its time him & his whole team including Gordon Smith all walked. How can we have TB (who is an English defesive legend) and Pressley, yet the defence was a shambles with the wrong players selected and less discipline and organisation than when WS or AM were in charge? Burley may appear Mr Nice in teh press, but why is he alienating so many players? Ok, action had to be taken over Ferguson & MacGregor but GB has to take some responsibility as well. With Gordon out injured we have no choice but to rely on MacGregor, like it or not as a country we are too small to outcast talented players. Another is Boyd, who knows what all really went on there, but if GB really thinks a player getting a hatful of League 1 goals is any better than someone who has Europea experience and scores SPL goals for fun, then we are doomed. Quite why he persists with Miller is unkown, he is not an out and out scorer or goals and cant hold teh ball up. Why was Alexander played out of position, the same with Fletcher? Its a mess, no idea who would be a good replacement but someone with club experience in European competition is a minimum. How did Belgium get Advocaat? As a nation our FA must have similar money for wages, why can we not get someone of similar calibre?
