  1. If I see anyone abusing our players or their family I will in the first instance report them. In the second instance, having just come out of the Royal Marines after 22 years, will slap you silly. There is no place in our club for lowlifes.

  2. Given the injuries I am happy to take the draw. It could have been a whole lot worse. That said, everyone has been screaming to get another defender and Dodds ignored the useful advice, and now we are suffering as a result. That shows a lack of experience on Dodds part. I don't feel he is the one to take us up in all honesty. If we did go up, his lack of experience would see us getting pumped every week. A good time to get rid is before the transfer window opens.

    Brian Rice is quoted in the Courier saying we have got a good one in Steven Boyd. He wanted to keep him at Alloa but Boyd wanted back into a full time club. Hopefully Rice is right.

    That's not what the Alloa fans are saying but then it's a Rice quote so we can take that with a pinch of salt. He has hardly lit his Managerial roles up since leaving us. Proof of the pudding is in the eating as they say ... a Rice pudding! Sorry couldn't help myself.

  4. It shows a lack of consistency and a lack of money. Each player is different so yes it can be both. Every team signs the odd jobber now and again but we like to recruit jobbers for key roles such as those in front of goal. Boyd will need to seriously up his game because the Alloa fans were less than complimentary about him. Shaw is a good young player looking to break into fulltime pro football. Some might argue that Shaw is a risk but he has something about him. We lack ambition because we take a punt on jobbers like Boyd who will be a benchwarmer at best - we should be recruiting more younger players like Shaw not jobbers like Boyd - that is where the lack of ambition comes into play. I am happy to hold my hand up if I am wrong at the end of the season but I reckon it will be a case of Boyd who?

    None of my mates have heard of Shaw. He looks like a stab in the dark. Boyd however has potential. 
     

    Can I request that no sarcastic comments are made in reply as I can be very easily upset, especially by judgemental administrators 🤣

    Shaw is a very exciting young talent. A really aggressive player who has played in one of the toughest leagues, for one of the toughest sides, and finshed third in their table. Boyd ... well lets just say Alloa fans are glad to see the back of him. They said he doesn't like to pass, doesn't score many goals, gets in a huff easily and lets his head drop, and has the odd good game once in a while ... it doesn't bode well.

     

  6. Shaw is an exciting talent and will do well with us. Boyd shows off our lack of ambition. Why have we signed a striker that doesn't like to pass, doesn't have hold up play, and can't score goals? ... baffling. He will be a bench warmer at best.

    Whether its agreed or not and whether we (fans) are happy with BD in charge it has to be assumed (given the lack of communication from the club) that the objective (with Killie in the league) was to get a play-off place. Right now we are 3rd and in a pack of 5 clubs fighting for the top 4 places. Regardless of form of those round about he will be seen as still meeting the objectives and heading towards the final 10 games so long as we are mathematically in contention nothing will change.

    As said before unless he walks (unlikely), he will probably be here next season too. Miss the play-offs at this late stage he will get it as a rebuild exercise, make the play-off but not go up then it'll be a case of strengthen on the 'trusted' guys we have and try again.

     

    And the longer he stays the less support the club will receive. If this the case then the board lack ambition and we need to question weather Ross and company are fit for purpose.

    What’s this based on? I’d argue without some very key business deals Scott Gardner handled we wouldn’t have a club to support.

    That's historical now. It's about going forward that is important. Little evidence of forward motion at present so perhaps it is time to lose JR, BD, & SG. Failing that, Dodds needs to go, Robertson needs to take temporary charge, and Gardiner needs to go out and find investment (after all that is what he is employed for and there is very little evidence of that happening).

    We've signed someone!
     

     

    Talented young player but it is a big step up. Always good to get bodies in but if he ends up like Anthony MacDonald was and Billy keeps picking his same old team then I can't see this signing being that valuable to us. We need some experienced heads at the moment because we are lacking direction on the field half the time.

  10. Leigh Griffiths is a free agent. Celtic have released him and Dungdee don't want him. Sign him for the remainder of the season - imagine him and Billy together up front! I know it isn't going to happen but it's a nice thought. He's not everyone's cup of tea but with the right motivation he would be an asset, surely?

    I don't think so :lol:   We controlled most of the game.  Elgin scored with the first two chances that they had, and even then I wasn't worried.  We were getting into their box with ease, but then screwing things up. I was reminded of my comments from last week, saying that we made plenty of chances but couldn't finish.

    Then Mckay popped up to level things before half-time, and the second half was going to go only one way.  I predicted 4 or 5 - we certainly should have had at least 5.

    I think Duku has had a fair run to prove himself, but it's time to suggest that he starts looking elsewhere.   He made a mess of his scoring chance, and otherwise was, as usual, coming off second-best in tussles in non-dangerous positions towards one side of the pitch.  He tries, but he is just not effective.

    Duku gives us something in attack we haven't had for a while - a danger going forward, and currently he is top of the tree for assists, along with Shane. Personally, I don't care who scores them just as long as we are creating them!

    Not the right thread for it, but it seems the Dundee United manager made a right walloper of himself with his post match actions.

    Both clubs concluded after discussions that no racist chanting/language was used...🤔

    All threads are on when it comes to ripping the p*ss out of C*unty!

    Not yet established whether there was any misconduct by County fans and sadly there are still a small minority of racists idiots among all supports including our own.

    However, as far as MM is concerned, while I am generally in favour of people being given a second chance, I would be very uncomfortable with someone with such a sustained history of racist, homophobic, sexist and antisemitic comments being manager of our club.

     

    Agreed, however, I wasn't going to miss the opportunity to rip the P*ss out of C*unty!

    A disappointing League Cup group stage is hardly a novelty for us although admittedly this one was more disappointing than most.

    That said, the league season has not begun, our pre season preparation was severely disrupted and our most experienced forward has yet to kick a ball yet.

    How about giving the new manager and the players he has recruited a chance before condemning them out of hand.

    Sadly, as we have seen season after season, a poor pre-season marks a poor season ahead. I'm not going to hold my breath. Dodd's signings so far have proven to be less than inspiring ... the proof of the pudding is in the eating ... and at the moment anyone eating that pudding has dose of the shites.

  15. A few weeks ago I was very vocal about my concerns regarding Broadfoot and Gardyne, and held my reservations about Dodds. After Broadfoot's performance against Peterhead I happily rescinded my viewpoint - not anymore. Sorry but Broadfoot and Gardyne need to start doing something very special or we have wasted a years contracts on the pair of them and two years on Dodds. Let's face it Dodd's is out of his depth. I'm going to hazard a guess and say McCann was the one with nounce in their partnership.

  16. So far, happy to be wrong about Broadfoot. His interview didn't come across well. His age seemed to be a bit high ... but he let his feet do the talking and was impressive. Gardyne looked sharp although concerns about how well he will gel with the youngsters as he looked a bit frustrated with them tonight. Manny looks to be a find, and then King Doran does what he is good at ... pure class. Looking bright for us ... and as said I am happy to be wrong!
