What rumour was quite strong - that he’s leaving you or that he’s maybe coming here? I would be over the moon with him

I think Dow be a handy player in L1 especially for the squad - had a great game against Mo in League Cup

Been two horrendous seasons. Every time I drive past Gayfield though I think it shows how much we have got right off the park - still not overly happy with certain things (social media manager and death threat still really annoying me) but overall I think the club have listened to supporters. I mean this is being done based off the back of fans mentioning that it had not happened (don’t think it was coincidence that it was said online and then a week or so later one was arranged) - so I kind of feel bad for complaining too much Think next season a lot of opposing fans that visit the club for the first time in a while are going to be taken aback by how much Gayfield has improved and also hopefully how different it feels on a match day with a larger crowd present - even little things like adding in the different segregation fences etc - we’ve tried to get it right as much as we can Just think we are maybe getting this wrong. I get wanting to stick by the manager and I get that you can’t become a club that just fires through managers but in this instance maybe McIntyre does have to become the sacrificial lamb to prevent next year starting off on a negative note, or to prevent the knives coming out straight away if things got tough Either way though I am looking forward to next year, it should be a reprieve and a chance to regroup. If McIntyre is here then he’s here but I think for me it’s not the best of ideas Will be back with a season ticket and ready to see what lies in store though. I hope Wednesday is productive and people who make it can give a run down of what was discussed

https://www.pressreader.com/uk/daily-record/20141011/282265253673409 ETA - if anything summed up how much of a fud you are then it’s this. Maybe look into things before you go about firing insults at people

I never brought the McKenna thing up or started saying McKenna was going Never brought the Hamilton thing up either but had heard he was away to EF from someone who told me Steele was signing for us before it happened so fully believe that ToB is just a personal feeling, although absolutely no substance to it - PnB is full of it and always is full of it

We know, not sure what will happen with him but him and McGlynn do like each other a lot and both from Musselburgh. I think he would be a good signing for Falkirk for a couple of years. f**k knows what will happen with him to be honest but I hope he stays.

This is why I’m not huge on stats - even away from the season he scored all the goals - he is still a massive part of us going forward with the ball and defending from the front without the ball too. He’s been the driving force of the team

I would say it would be a big blow to lose out on re signing one of the undoubtedly best PT players in the country - he could be a huge player for us and the club going forward even if it was only for 2/3 seasons. Guys like him are important to the fans and for new players coming in cause he knows what it’s all about. So aye it would be bad - but if he was to go to Falkirk then I would say fair play, it could be a good move for him personally, maybe one last crack at trying to get to the Prem. If it was to another PT team it would be very disappointing

I think maybe he’s already signed a fair few players up for next season on pre contracts, only thing I can think of

Aye just more of a glesga term probably but hear that all the time - said it in his bbc post match when we beat Raith and zero complaints cause everyone was buzzing that night. A total non issue

You’d imagine he’d have a long list of teams that are interested. Every other PT team would take him.

Probably releasing it at 10pm on Sunday to try and get it out there quietly to minimise any complaints and backlash - awwww it is all so very fun isn’t it

McKenna and McGlynn like each other a lot and I think they are both from the same town and have probably talked over the years plenty of times - if it happened then it is extremely sad and disappointing but it would be a good move for him. Who knows maybe thinks if he signed a 3 year deal he’d potentially get a chance of playing Premiership football. Dunno how it would work if he did do it though and really hope that he maybe does sign on here instead

To be completely fair - I think you’re missing the point if you think people are reacting this way purely because we’ve been relegated. I don’t think there are any high expectations within the support at all, not in the slightest. You are correct in everything else you say though. However standards still have to remain respectable and decent you cannot just throw them all out of the window because there have been difficult circumstances to contend with. This has become so bad it is so far below par for course now. I fully expected to get beat yesterday and still somehow ended up extremely disappointed. It’s been pretty embarrassing for a while and so far below what you’d expect as a minimum, organisation, effort and a team unit out on the park with a manager making his best effort with the fans and showing he cares. In danger of tearing the arse right out of everything we have built up the last 5 year if the fans are not listened to. It’s gone too far now really, soon as there’s a blip in the road next season the knives will be back out. A feel good feeling and positivity is required going into next seasons campaign. I was sticking up for McIntyre a month ago. There was me on Friday saying that I would get behind him if we started seeing more positive news along the lines of Scotty Stewart…. Then Saturday afternoon 3pm rolls around and it left me feeling like an idiot for even suggesting that Not good enough and my pessimism towards the team and expectations have been at rock bottom and as low as they possibly could be for months now

That second win is an absolute freak of a result too - the odds on that were huge. Bit of class by Bird coming off the bench (who has regularly been on the bench since this ) changed the game on its head I thought Inverness away was great, Dunfermline the week after was superb but we ended up drawing that in the 90th minute after the madness - even the week after the fight was there when we clawed back the draw away to Raith with Adams scoring….. the back to back pumpings from United and Thistle were shite, then there was the week we made all our signings and there was some positivity going forward, all the injuries happened against Ayr at home and it’s been disastrous ever since after that - baw well and truly burst

It’s going to be a car crash - couldn’t bring myself to go no matter how much I wanted too Also kind of absolutely cannot be arsed listening to it right now to be totally honest with you, scunnered of anything football related right now

You got yourselves into 20 million pound worth of debt and won absolutely f**k all - fucking over a whole load of people in the process - you also celebrate these times as your glory years

Tbh Dundee fans love Caniggia etc - they love that knowing that that fucked over so many people in Dundee and peoples livelihoods and businesses - they celebrate those times and do not even take any of the above into consideration So it is a bit of a brass neck when you go on about that

I actually do look forward to it I’m not overly in to McIntyre but I am happy watching Arbroath knowing we may well go down a pub league or maybe win a pub league

We know Simon x To be honest I’ve prioritised other things over the football, mainly because I hate watching football when it’s not competitive - we have been down for ages Spent day in pub in Forfar with family and very happy about my decision to But I can tell we’ve absolutely given up the ghost we are getting shagged rotten, it’s quite impressive at how bad we are being

I mean…. I didn’t even care about todays result but it’s still extremely disappointing and to be honest with you absolutely fuckin shite Not good Grim

Not had one for a while Saturday May 3rd 2014 - Airdrie away defeated 2-0 - funnily enough nearly bang on 10 years - it’ll be exactly 10 years on last day of season

Fkn hell. I’ve just braved looking at the table for the first time in a long time, it does not make pretty reading so I have been avoiding it as much as possible but was genuinely amazed at how comfortable you are looking for 4th spot and the play offs. That is a great achievement from Rhys McCabe, I will happily admit at the start of the season I really was not buying it - kind of had a good idea who a lot of your players were and thought you’d be a tidy team but at the back the lack of pace and physicality would maybe kill you a bit. When you rolled up to Gayfield early doors and had Craig Watson right back, ATS and Fordyce centre half and McCabe sitting in front it looked to me like I had thought right. McKenna actually even mentioned it a bit in his post match interview that day, he said that he fancied us to get that kind of result. I kind of in my head thought that things would maybe start to get tougher for you but you’ve went from strength to strength. From watching highlights of games recently I think McCabe has signed so very well with the lad Megwa. He has brought pace down that right hand side and tightened it up a lot. Also think it’s been a good move for him to take himself out the side (might be miles off, maybe he’s injured or something I’ve not fully looked into it but have noticed he’s not played as much) and have more legs in the middle of the park. Guys like Fordyce and Watson really seem to have improved and worked hard to get up to speed. Think all of the above has allowed all the clever wee midfield players to really enjoy their football and play some good stuff. A prosper team unit who all work hard for each other it’s a fans dream. To get into the play offs is a very good achievement especially in a league that’s very very tough week to week (except when Arbroath have been on the card this season unfortunately) and it also gives you a small outside chance of getting into the Premiership. I remember getting myself carried away thinking about how strange it would be to go to and host Rangers, Celtic, Hibs, Hearts and Aberdeen on Scottish Premiership match days - I had actually fully resigned myself to bottom place and zero wins however the excitement of it was still tremendous. Start day dreaming over what kind of players you could maybe get to the club etc. Who knows maybe if you sneaked in you could do similar to Livingston or Hamilton, very very similar in regards to the 2 clubs. Always thought that when we were nearly on the way up. Don’t think there’s much a difference in their fanbase and support and ours or indeed yours. You’d also have the benefit of FT. Best of luck for remainder of season. I think pound for pound you have probably done the best out of all 10 teams.

Also playing against much inferior attacking players for the most part - every team in this league including the ones near the bottom have some very good attacking players. Some of the top teams in this division, Raith / United and Thistle are genuinely excellent going forward - vast majority of part time players especially when coming back or struggling with injuries (like all of our defenders have throughout season) would really struggle to cope with guys that these teams have
