  1. Very good news indeed. An increasing infuential player and worthy club captain.
  2. Have a great time. I understand that there will be a sheet on each seat with the words to the Ukrainian national anthem. I hope that our team and our fans belt it out with the same gusto as Flower of Scotland but then, when the whistle blows, put all sentiment and sympathy aside until the match is over.
  3. An annual loss in the region of quarter of a million is not unexpected trying to maintain a competitive full time team in the Championship. Next year's figures will be boosted by our share of the add on paid to Celtic in relation to Ryan Christie for Bournemouth's promotion and the income from reaching the play off final. An ongoing cause for concern but no cause for alarm.
  4. This poster has made a number of interesting observations well worth discussing. However, I am pretty sure that they would be met with a much more positive response if they were not phrased in a manner that wasn't remotely amusing in the first place and has now become utterly tedious. It's a pity because, as I say, the contents of the posts are often interesting and worthy of debate.
  5. Assuming he remains fit, my money would be on Roddy to win this award next season.
  6. Although you had to make sure that they were the luxury paper ones rather than the slippery shiny and completely non absorbent ones beloved of school janitors and the custodians of many other public buildings in the 60s and 70s. They were just about as useless for throwing as they were for their primary function.
  7. Great to see these youngsters support their local team with such passion and enthusiasm. Pleased to see the club engaging positively with them. I realise that money is tight but surely one positive step would be to improve their facilities with the West Stand getting a bit of a tidy up and preferably a roof which would both keep them dry and and channel more of the atmosphere they create onto the pitch rather than disappearing into the sky. I know that I have been critical of the actions of one or two individuals but the vast majority of our young crew have been a great credit both to the club and themselves. It would be good also if efforts could be made to make more girls and young women feel more welcome to join the crew. These are are our future long after us sweetie rustlers have departed the scene.
  8. Pity about the live streaming. A number of Covid measures originally intended to be temporary have proved such a success that they have become permanent. With a bit more flexibility and imagination on the part of the football authorities, this could have been another.
  9. Due to family commitments, I couldn't make the semi final but did make the replay at Pittodrie and, when Paul Ritchie gave us an early lead, was, for about 20 minutes, convinced that we were on our way to our first ever major final. Bit of a trudge back to the car that evening.
  10. The trouble is everyone at our level is looking for a reliable goalscorer but those who have proved themselves such tend to be in demand at a higher level and command a salary outwith the reach of Championship clubs.
  11. But also every penny. Getting out of the group stage and maybe landing a tie later on against either of the Old Firm or Aberdeen would be a boost in that regard. As with most things, there is a balance to be struck.
  12. I will be more upset than ever if we end up yet again being beaten in the group stage by a Hearts team.
  13. In the case of the former at least, Slade's Lock Up Yout Daughters would be more appropriate.
  14. It has been a sort of unofficial anthem of English cricket for years. Strange, given that the Queen seems to have lost weight recently, I assumed that the official song of the Jubilee would be something by Thin Lizzie.
  15. Doesn't bother me. I already subscribe to SKY Sports and BT Sports. I refuse to pay for another subscription channel and that also applies to the channel who have bought the rights to the Scotland games.
  16. As a lifelong, or at least from when the Queen refused to sogn my autograph book 50 years ago on a visit to Fort George Republican, I will be doing my utmost to ignore this event. However, I am curious to know whether any others intend to mark the occasion either by purchasing memorabilia or attending events ?
  17. Glad to see Shane being supported and offered a new contract. Personally and with great regret, I would not be offering Aaron a new contract. We have a very limited budget which, these days, would probably be better spent on recruiting someone younger, fitter and less injury prone.
  18. One year I will finally get the hang of this.
  19. A well deserved winner and if he continues to improve as he has been a definite candidate for player of the year next season.
  20. Yes. Those few minutes at Srarks Park were the start of turning our season round and getting us oh so close. Very good luck to him for the future.
  21. No. Just injecting an element of reality.
