Kingsmills

On the whole, I prefer constantly drawing with or losing narrowly to Aberdeen than sticking 6 past Alloa.

Welcome back BL but please leave these **** irritating drums at home !

I wouldn't go so far as to day the club is in a mess from top to bottom. There may indeed be issues but at least we appear financially sound which must be one of the more important aspects of managing the company.

Barry Robson ? Early days yet but John Rankin also seems to have made a promising enough start to life after Caley Thistle.

Nevertheless, they managed to play all their first division fixtures there last season without any incident. I appreciate that Gretna have a track record of renaging on promises which is far from satisfactory but from the point of view of sporting merit, I'd rather see them suffer some financial penalty for that rather than a technical relegation. It looks like they will be back in he third division soon enough as it stands.

Good man :003:

Seems a bit harsh if Raydale was deemed by the SFL to be fit for First Division football last season.

I agree, we must beat Falkirk if we are to continue to harbour any top six ambitions this season. I think we will do so but, then again, I was fairly confident that we had the beating of Hearts.

Welcome, despite the fact that you declare yourself "Caley" through and through !

Not a good quality in a goalkeeper.

What with Rangers and Celtic miles ahead as usual and the relagation issue effectively settled by christmas ?

After saturday's showing a reliable central defender, if not two, is a must.

An away game at Pittodrie towards the end of the season isn't much consolation for recent mediocrity.

What's happened to the defence since Dods left ? The number of soft goals we've coceded this season is shocking. Surely time for Watt to get an outing McGuire has been dreadful of late.

Given that we're under no real threat of relegation, I still believe that Brewster should be given until the end of the season before his position is reviewed. What happens then very much depends on what he mabnaged to achieve between now and then.

Robertson would be a good addition to the staff. I suspect that as Director of Football he would carry more influence and be able to attract better players north than the Bennett/Brewster combo.

Tokley was on professional forms at both Aberdeen and Huntly before he signed for us so we can't really claim him as a product of our youth system. Same goes for Hastings who played for Caley in the Highland League did he not ?

Pity just because of one bad experience with an already very poor pitch.

Every chance. Good luck.

I don't think that there's too much doubt about our match but nobody will be surprised to leasrn that Gretna's "home" match at Fir Park is in serious doubt and a morning pitch inspection has been arranged.

Steve certainly seemed to have an eye for a player.

If St Johnstone can narrow the gap between themselves and Hamilton & Dundee over the next month they may be very keen on keeping him until the end of the season for a promotion push.

Deano does seem to be one of a group of players that Brewster, for some reason, has little time for.

Iagree with Scotty, what happens next season will be crucial to the mid term future of the club. I have a feling that we will either progress into the top six or be involved in a battle against relegation. Somehow or other I don't foresee another "comfortable" finish in 7th or 8th place.

I suppose Deano has had a similar career path. Starting out as a well regarded member of the Arsenal youth set up before failing to impress in the English lower divisions or, more recently, with ICT.
