    I couldn't agree more.

    It was when the SPL merged with the SFL to form the SPFL.

    Derby County overturn a one goal deficit to win away and progress from a play off semi final. It can be done.

    Too much discussion about football developing. Can we please get back on track with discussing pre local government reorganisation geography!
  5. Kingsmills
    Even more importantly, make sure the players do too ?

    Bloody depressing and seems to be getting worse. I hope engagement with the city and wider community sits higher on the new CEO's agenda than replacing catering suppliers.

    Against the possibility that not taking the risk of an appeal could potentially cost us over a million pounds. Even with money as tight as it is, it strikes me as a gamble worth taking.
  8. Kingsmills
    Is there time for any appeal against the red card to be dealt with before the second leg?
  9. Kingsmills
    Nobody now expects us to progress. No bad thing. That tends to be when we are at our most effective and dangerous.

    Our promotion prospects just still alive but on life support. A huge uphill battle on Friday with an exhausted and depleted team.

    A hard shift for the next half hour or more.

    Can't argue with any of that. Sounds like he is going to be a good appointment.

    Seems to me that a thread entitled "Transfer Rumours' should be in Rumour Mill so that's where it's going.

    ..and a good move for him.

    Very pleased with that. It probably does mean that Austin will be off but, in my view Keatings will be a far more effective player whether in the Championship or the Premiership. Let's hope he does sing often but only when we're winning. As a critic of the current board, credit where it's due, I did not expect us to be making signings of this quality. Certainly not when our status for next season is still uncertain.

    We have, so far, probably done what was expected of us and done so quite efficiently. The football establishment, the bookies, the Central Belt commentators and, in all probability, most of us were not surprised that we finished third or fourth. It again almost certainly came as no great surprise that all of the above, on balance, expected us to overcome Ayr. Now we enter into different territory and need to do the unexpected. The bookies have the Arabs as favourites to progress, the football authorities and the vast majority of of pundits do too and certainly hope so. They already have the token Highland club back in the top tier and would much rather have the natural order restored and a."big club" promoted. In truth, while we are hopeful, many of us expect United to progress too. So, let's confound the bookies and disappoint the pundits by doing the unexpected. We have done it before and there is no reason why we can't do it now. Then we can look at adding another chapter to our short but remarkable history by once more confounding and disappointing all but ourselves by becoming the first team ever finishing below second in the Championship to successfully negotiate the play offs.

    Looking forward to you posting a thread with the same title on the main forum.

    It has been a good one. Four more games and it could yet be a great one.
  20. Kingsmills
    At least let's make the effort and try. Cultivating our own players has to be the future and this would certainly help.
  21. Kingsmills
    Can we cut out the personal stuff and get this back on topic please?
  22. Kingsmills
    Absolutely agree. Whilst there have, of course, been some failures, Robbo has proved that he has a much better eye for a player, even on a much much lower budget, than either of his two immediate predecessors.

    For those criticising the team for looking tired, uninterested or 'in holiday mode', bear in mind that yesterday was the fiftieth competitive game of the season for our small squad now coming at two a week. The remarkable thing is not that they look a bit fatigued but that they are still in the hunt at all and continue to be so. We should be proud of them all.
  24. Kingsmills
    I didn't get the Impression that anyone was 'in holiday mode' but a few not unexpectedly, looked tired and jaded and were, sensibly in my view, not expending energy unnecessarily. The only important thing today was to get the job done and progress to the next stage which we did reasonably comfortably in the end.
