Brutal stuff. Just reminds you how big an arse we made of it. I mean rakish Bingham for fecks sake.

Yup and we've no been promoted yet.

There's not been much arguing going on here . The majority seem to have the same views on what is required for the new season.

No seriously as far as I know miller and loy are very good friends.

Murray has improved a lot this season. Looked more like shepherd at the start of the season but played well against us in the two playoff games. Surely only two things would stop us getting Loy. Houston not wanting him or the bod not spending the cash to get him. He loved it here the first time around and is Lee Miller not one of his best mates?

Last thing we need is another young raw striker. We've got a great talent in Austin and I doubt that boys any better than the likes of O'hara. Austins a different type of striker than Murray. Murrays all about pace whilst with Austin its pace and physique. Murray is what 25? He's got far more experience at a higher level than Austin and it wast that long ago that DU fans were getting fired into him for being shit.

Must be putting the proceeds of his new contract to good use.

I doubt he's going anywhere. Signed a new long term contract when he got injured last season.

Christ your season ticket prices aren't half steep. I suppose if a few thousand are willing to pay them then your quid in mind you.

I wouldn't say he's not rated its just if we're going to finally get promoted we need better. He always gives 100% and would probably scrape double figures if playing another full season in the championship. He needs to play too so to me he's no use really as a backup or impact sub. Dumbarton are probably a good fit for Baird although would depend I suppose on whether he'll go part time or not at this stage.

Of course I have and that's why their a bunch of feckin clowns. You get the feeeling that if it was up to them we'd do away with the first team altogether and simply play the under 20's every week.

Easy way to do that is to stop selling our best youngsters to the first decent bid. They really are a bunch of absolute clowns. Hopefully Baird will get a better offer elsewhere but I won't hold my breath.

Add their parachute payment and then take away the extra we got for coming 2nd over 3rd and it's a substantial starting point.

I never said u did I was going by what was stated in the falkirk Herald 'The Bairns boss should find out within the next 24 hours how much of the club’s resources will be attributed to the playing squad after meetings of the board and majority shareholders tonight (Thursday).'

I'm only going by the fact that their supposed to be sitting down tonight to discuss budgets for next season .

Seems strange that we're re-signing players before we've decided on next year's budget. It's not as if those three are that great that someone may rush in and sign them from right under our noses.

Does anyone? Have you actually had to pay Ross County for his services due to you going up or is that just a nasty rumour??

I thought this was his last punt in management and he was retiring once he left us? That seemed to always be the noise that came out from him.

If I was him I'd be letting them know that if investment is not forthcoming then I'm off. At the end of the day there's no point in saying we need more quality if the funds to carry that out aren't made available. I'd have a lot more respect for him if he walked and told the fans why he was walking than simply putting his head down and getting on with it whilst our competitors strengthen.

I realise that but surely the manager should realise that too. If he's happy to go along with this then surely he's not the man for us?

At least they might be back in the championship next season whilst your team I'm afraid will be debt dodgers from here to eternity.

Having a decent striker playing beside Austin would make a huge difference. Someone with a decent touch that can hold on to the ball whilst Austin is better running on to things. Loy would be perfect.

To me he's not quite hard enough at times. We were top of the discipline table this year which gets u nothing. I'm not wanting us to become hammer throwers but there's not enough nastiness in our side by a long way.

Think it's more the fact that we've resigned taiwo and Kerr. I'd rather we had freed one and signed someone who was a bit more dirty. Whilst I'm not wanting jim goodwin we're far too soft currently. We still need to take one for the team more often and leave the boot in a bit more. Heard that we've also offered Alex Harris a deal. Please make this crap although unfortunately it comes from a decent source. I'm away to cry I'm a dark corner.

Surely if it's someone from the central belt like celtic this won't come into the equation.
