  1. If we were relegated 5 years ago then the prospects of us going straight back up were alot more slim than they are now reducing the importance of us going down. The fact almost half the league has a chance of promotion come the end of the season makes it alot easier for us to go back up than it was before.

    So far looking at the squads in this league I believe we really have a good chance of being champions. If we can somehow keep Craig Reid and Sam Parkin and make 3 good signings then we have a great chance

    Parkin is away, so no chance of that and the team we had five seasons ago was far superior to the team we have now, which is why there was no danger of relegation. However, I agree that we should have a good chance of promotion.

  2. You lot will be right upset that Marc McCusker is leaving - who'll get all the goals next season?

    Ah, that's more like it, I was begining to think it was too quiet down here.

    It is a bit of shame as I think an injury free McCusker would score a few goals, but that's life. I will be intersted to see who will come in as by my reckoning we probably need another two strikers.

  3. I'd hope Magic has finished re-signing players from last year's squad. Of course, I'd like Craig Reid to sign again but he'll surely get a club in the first division. We now need to sign a striker, central midfielder, a full back and a winger. Not too much to ask for, is it?!

    He does say that he will be looking to bring in some fresh faces too.

    I take it that Parkin has gone?

  4. No, I want this thread transferred as it is.

    It can serve as a reminder to us of an era when we whined and whinged about a higher class of football.

    We, the fans will move downstairs with the club so our pointless bickering, nostalgic wheezing and irrelevant pontificating should accompany us. We're not a Newco FFS.

    I want the baggage - who's with me?

    I bugger off on holiday and folk are wanting to close the thread! I'm with Monkey Tennis on this one. The 'big thread' must remain open!

  5. Home top is ok, away top is rank. White and blue might've made it acceptable but the black just makes it look like an Ayr top. Also all blue home kit, is that a first?

    No, we have had all blue before. The last time I think was the year D&G Constabulary won it in 98. I'm not a fan of all blue. The away kit is okay and we had a couple black and white away kits in the 80's.

  6. Erm pretty much everything.

    He just lacked that bit phyiscally for the step up, and he wasn't good enough technically to make up for it if you get what I mean?

    Size isn't necessarily an issue if you can read the game well, or if you can play that killer pass, or take it past a couple of players... Burns just wasn't able to do that.

    Holding your own in a one off cup game and holding your own for a season is an entirely different prospect I'm sure you'll agree, it's why it's not really relevant to try compare teams based on how they done in the Scottish cup, when you played against Aberdeen a couple of seasons back every single one of your players held there own and excelled, but there is no way in this earth that John Stewart is an SPL striker.

    :lol: I'll give you that, but a legend nevertheless.

    I suppose what I was meaning before was that if he was surrounded by SPL standard players he would have developed into one himself.

  7. Beleive me, he wouldn't.

    There are some players in our team who I might consider to be Spl class, Graham if he sorted his attude, Cardle, Gallagher, McMillan and a fully fit Bell could all be Spl players, Burns just isn't.

    It's the reason as to why we were just so bad this year, we signed 1st division quality players.

    What do you think he lacked, as anytime he was up against SPL teams with us he had more than held his own?
