I'd expect a new look squad with a few of last year's u18's.

Get the new players integrated and the young ones experience.

I'd hope we could win / compete on most of the games but I'd rather it was a warm up for the league season proper.

Mickey mouse!

GIRUY.

Justice is done.

The commentary team have noted this also...seems United have a guardian Angel looking after them in all 4 play off games.

Jakey boy starting at Hampden today.

Have the seen the state of the pitch? What a disgrace! 

Thought I saw two guys from dingwall eyeing it up for tatties.

Kelty will be one of the favourites for the lowland league next year but East Kilbride will be there or there abouts as well. I just wish Bonnyrigg were accepted in after winning promotion from the East of Scotland, another side that would have been able to challenge the front runners. Unfortunately as they currently don’t have floodlights they aren’t allowed up, even though they will have them in place for the start of next season and there is currently teams in the same division without floodlights! Thought we had it unfair? 

I see Darren O Dea has cancelled retirement plans to join East Kilbride.

Picked up my 3 today, almost 500 quid lighter now but still good value. 

Whilst I was there  a mum & young son were getting served at the other till when the new CEO pops his head round the corner - ' all the grass is gone now, wanna come through and see? ' 

I was too slow but the kid & especially his mum were extremely chuffed at this.

Nice touch I thought, engagement from the very top - down to the grass, or no grass roots.

 Greentech Sportstuff are qualified to deal with aquifers as well.

One wonders where the finances are coming from ?

Thought the seer would already know that. 

Hamilton are releasing quite a few players, so Rice will be looking to fill his squad.

Accies have been avoiding the drop for years now, that's their only ambition - to finish 10th. They are pretty good at it though.

Maybe next year...

Excellent stuff, even if there was dirty underhanded tictacs from Dundee.

Top man JR, very positive statement of intent.

BBC story quotes Dundee statement ;

"Some of the candidates are currently employed by other clubs and we requested permission to speak to them,"

So without naming anyone they have requested to speak to candidates .

Fake news??

Pleased with that. The lad can certainly do a job at Championship level and, with another season's experience under his belt, possibly in the Premiership too.

Time will tell with this one, not sure if his future is at full back - imagine McKay and McHattie on either side, doesn't inspire me. Maybe like Chalmers( and Rooney) he can find his feet further forward.

He's no stranger to the premier either, quite a few appearances with hearts and kilmarnock too. Still , 25 is young enough there is room for improvement yet.

From what I remember McCart was one of the few who put in an effort that season.

Plenty effort but I thought the boy from Motherwell did better ,Laing? 

From what I recall Mccart liked trying the 50 yard Hollywood ball, thankfully he's dialled back on his range these days.

Danny Williams be a great signing if we could get him back

Not sure if we could afford the spray tanning sessions for him.

Last week I saw an article in the Dundee Evening Telegraph that analysed Dundee’s stated search criteria - a manager with over 300 games under his belt and a win rate of over 40%. The only 3 candidates in Scotland meeting those prerequisites were Neil Lennon, Derek McInnes and.........John Robertson.

Think Robertson is statistically our best manager, both times!

Hopefully the board have ran this past him and he's ok with not talking to them - they obviously have money so any discussion would be pretty straightforward,  i.e. take us straight up or you're fired. 

John knows this place and financial constraints aside is quite settled in the job.

Maybe this might even get the board to show JR a bit of transfer market love??

I thought McCart struggled with us in the premier, whether that was partly due to how terrible we were or how young & inexperienced he was I'm not sure.

Probably the wrong club at the wrong time , he still needs a bit more championship football to toughen him up a bit. Should be premier standard in time for the next close season bidding.

Get him contracted up.

If you read my post you will see that I am not blaming the player.

Yes, I saw there was no blame apportioned to club or player , but stating that he has earned in excess of 200k without offering much in return - tends to give an imbalanced view of the situation. 

Perhaps it's statements like this that are responsible for negativity towards a player who was an important part of the team for a period of time.

Merge?...it would be a hostile takeover!

Still reeling them in...green dots too.

True but, at the same time, he has had over two hundred thousand pounds from the club without offering much at all in return.

Better for all concerned if he moves on. OFW can do what  he's paid for and we can use at least some of the money on someone who actually contributes.

I'm sure if we could have afforded it we wouldve played him. 

What was he supposed to do meantime, cancel his own contract?

The Sun and Daily Record are reporting that Dundee asked for our permission to speak to Robertson regarding their managerial vacancy but we turned them down.

If they were to come back with a big offer I wonder if we'd think of it.  I wonder if he'd welcome a different challenge.  If he were to go, who could possibly replace him?

...Alan Simpson? ;)

Here's hoping we can keep him that way, his career stats have plenty of injury hit seasons.

Or is he more in the Polworth mould? Still have to plug that gap and don't think Walsh fits in there. 

I thought McHattie looked useful when signed, but have thought in recent games he was out of his depth..

Another 2 year contract, sounds like county hedging their bets...what did Vigurs get last year? 2 or 3?
