Mild weather conditions, gusts of around 35-40MPH, mild?
I'm not making excuses, the team that wanted to win won, a friendly.
The wind had absolutely no affect on the game today. And the pitch was good.
I am totally chilled guys - I think I am the only one that is! I am the only one not running around making excuses for what I thought was a poor performance. Just saying the players we had out today should be good enough to win against a team like Brechin comfortably. In my opinion a lot of the players didn't put a decent shift in today. Simple as that.

The only people making mountains are the one's who feel it necessary to make excuses for a poor performance and against a team we should be beating comfortably. You are now on to "3rd stringers" - after slating a perfectly good pitch and mild weather conditions! All complete pish.

Stewart was pretty poor in my opinion although did put a good ball through to Hemmings late on. McGinn and Kerr weren't bad and Holt looked good. A few players will have to get their finger out if they want to be part of the starting eleven (Roberts has no chance). Not having any of this "it was a 2nd string line-up", "pitch was poor", "conditions were bad" pish. We had a strong team on show, the pitch was better than decent and the weather will get a lot worse soon!

Thomson is ahead of f**k all when he is injured all the time.
Just back from the match - other than Holt it's hard to take any positives from the game.

Martyn might not be a spectacular player but he is a solid one and you know what you are going to get from him everytime
Have to disagree with your point there andyh. The biggest problem with him is that we never know what we are going to get. I have seen him have absolute howlers but in other games have seen him rip teams apart. It's the latter that makes me think he deserves another shot. He definitely has potential and we have nobody else like him.

I am sure we are looking at better options but Boyle is worthy of a place in the squad in my opinion. We have worse.

Get Boyle in the gym over the summer and work on his crossing pre-season and we have a cracking player.

Thomson is apparently coming back to us.
Really hope so

Push for the top six, with Letheren?
Good back up keeper yes.

If we want to push on to be a top six team the only player I would keep from that list is Kyle. Not sure about Gadzhalov yet. The rest can go.

Was talking to a Barnsley fan last week and he said Hemmings has been absolutely brutal. Sounds like we got the better player.

Left back and centre half are big priorities. Dyer isn't good enough at this level and his back up is Gary Irvine! at least Gary reads the game reasonably well despite being out of position and lacking pace. First time I saw Konrad I thought he looked far too small and lightweight for a centre half and this has proven to be the case. Not understanding the love for McPake either. Far from being our worst defender but he doesn't dominate against bigger strikers and gets out paced by the smaller ones. I would gladly have 3 new defenders on Sunday.
First few games of the season I thought our midfield looked very good but injures have cost us in that department. Thompson needs to go. No point in wasting that big wage packet on someone sitting in the stand. I feel confident with McGowan, Harkins and Ferry in the team.
Up front Clarksons luck seems to have run out and Tankulic deserves a start next game. Stewart is the best find we have had for years. Hope we have him on a long term contract because he is getting better every time he plays.
Time for Hartley to be ruthless. 6000 Dees turned up at Dens for a game against St Mirren last week. He won't have that support for much longer if things don't change.

will still be happy with 10th. But to be honest after seeing every other team we should really be aiming for top 6

Such comments on ice hockey, like those made above, are usually made by people who are either too thick to understand the sport, or haven't ever watched a match.
It's skating for fucks sake! the only men in Scotland who skate are either gay or after their hole!

Another good reason to have "summer football " that has been in discussion .
And to the poster who made comments about ice hockey has either never played or understood the game . First off , it is by far the hardest game to play . You have to be able to skate first before even trying to incorporate the skills . Then dealing with physical challenges .
Sorry , I'm Canadian so I get upset at guys who "dis" the game . If you don't like it fine but it is not a "shite " sport
Rant over -sorry
Of course it is a shite sport. More people would rather watch Raith rovers for fucks sake!

This may sound daft, but there is another sporting team in kirkcaldy that could have a bearing on the rovers crowds next season - the fife flyers. The flyers have been competing in the lower echelons of scottish ice hockey since the demise of the british national league 6 years ago, and there is a chance they could be joining the elite league next season. I know of people who stopped going to watch the flyers and started going to starks park instead. A Few of those people have said that if the flyers get back into a high standard of competetive hockey, they would happily go back to watch, even if they had to fork out £15. Ok, there is the choice of going to watch the rovers in the afternoon, then the flyers at night, but not everyone can afford that luxury. If the flyers do go elite, surely both themselves and the rovers could make some deals which could help people afford to watch both teams? say for instance, buy a ticket for a raith game and get a voucher with a £5 discount on entry to a flyers game, and vice versa maybe?
Dundee Stars are in the 'top' league of Ice Hockey I believe. Crowds at Dens and Tannadice have suffered terribly.
