    Yes to an extent you are correct, this thread is lively these days., Devenneys stock Rose dramatically without kicking a ball this season, got his move and wish him well. . McMaster could well be the same, behind him ?? I will rephrase it for you can you survive this season in the championship with kids.... I suspect your answer will be a resounding YES, as you expect i would disagree with your proposed response..

    This is a walk in the park, you should have seen the Falkirk match threads last season, they were box office. ..

    Well nearing un mind we haven't signed that many new players, I will raise you Elliot Dunlop and the jury has to be out on Hancock, Gallagher, Cassidy , Todorov has proven as a experienced championship player he can cut it... Would you say any of the players mentioned are ' clearly good enough'
  4. Passionate
    Would you not drop Aiken or McMaster for McCabe and Frizzell or even Telfer if all available..... I certainly would against a team the calibre of Dundee United at Tannadice.

    Are you guys missing Todorov or was he of a similar ilk to the rest, not starting much for Airdrie due to injury and Gallagher hitting form, don't think it will be too long before he starts, must be on a decent wage as well..

    What is the remit now, only signing players that are better than what we have and doesn't want to sign anybody just to fill the bench.... or the exact opposite signing players who are clearly not good enough at the moment and are there to fill the bench.... Can anybody confirm our squad and signing remit.... Rhys seems to be saying one thing then doing the other..

    I don't really think Gallagher was a n option any way, his signing unveiling has done the lad no favours, if you read his signing article he is clearly signed for the reserves and hoping to progress to first team, him and the lad Dunlop need to knuckle down in the reserves getting scudded 7 zip will do nothing for their progression in the short term right enough.. It just shows how important it is on a thread bare squad to keep 11 men on the park.. hopefully a couple more signings to come including the McStravick unveiling..

    I was surprised when it was said we were in the reserve league this season, it is night and day from under 19s, it could be useful with players coming back from injury to get minutes etc, It will be a learning experience for the young lads, I think a few of the lads could still play under 19s anyway..

    He was on trial at St Mirren a few weeks back, don't think anything came of it, although I think we will be looking for back ups now, with the team doing well, so probably another under 20 from somewhere, this isn't what I agree with, but probably best case scenario.. Don't know if anybody has been following it the Airdrie Reserves got beat 7 nil today from livi, with Gallagher being red carded, would that rule him out of filling the bench on Saturday, it was a Reserve league fixture not under 19s..

    No chance of GMS etc coming to us, they will get a gig somewhere here or the state's, GMS was rumoured to be on 3k a week, Mulgrew probably more, let these guys do what they want.. The pond we are fishing in is probably the Euan East type, for some reason he doesn't seem to have been picked up, It sounds like the McStravick signing was leaked by Linfield, and we had to react on Sat evening as well, still waiting on official confirmation (done deal though) are we expecting any more deals this week.... apart from left back cover we seem pretty ok, at the moment number wise., although the quality drop off from starting 11 to deep into the bench is still pretty worrying..

    Oh what the hell , it's only another 2 quid... In all seriousness I would have thought the championship would have limits to what you can charge for admission, we moaned when we went from 18 to 20 this season... What do you guys feel about it, or is that the price for expected success

    This game will be a test of McCabes metal, without IMO our best 3 midfielders, we will not outscore United at Tannadice in a shoot out, . You can still play to win without going 'gung ho'. As we have all said and now not seemingly a concern, we are a very young side, defeats are part and parcel of all levels of football, we have to avoid a ' sair yin' at all costs, Football is about confidence , ours is high at the moment.. United will win this league at a canter, budget wise, player wise, club size etc, First real test for McCabe this season away from home, against a top side, with your starting midfield missing, When did away fans start getting dumped behind the goal in the old enclosure, is it not usually part of the fair play stand or whatever it's called these days..

    Robbie Nelson, he couldn't could he

    Is that Euan Devenney you are talking about, left back or left winger and thats it,, play him anywhere else and the manager really needs to take a good look at himself..

    Another rollercoaster of a Saturday, this feels like football compared to League 1, as I said before let's never darken that leagues door again.. We didn't play great, as Rhys was saying on his interview, as I said at the game you can sometimes score too early and the opposition can get the upper hand as the game goes on, We scored 2 opportunistic goals, especially Galls, great composed finish, ICT actually played decent stuff, but final third and pass was woeful, Frizz had 2 silly bookings, we cannot really moan about the ref, Carson would have walked for them if we were a little more streetwise second half, 2 or 3 times McGregor turned him and Carson had a pull on the shirt and a hold of the shoulder of Lewis goes down, Carson is off as well, that only comes with experience... We rode our luck as we tired a little late on, but as I said IcT were poor, although we were nothing special, Big game at Tannadice next week going in without arguably our best midfielders McCabe, Frizzell and Telfer ...

    I was watching Dodds second half trying to cajole a performance out his team, that didn't seem interested in what he wanted to change, which is a bad sign

    What do you pars boys thing about the championship this season, both sides seem to be doing ok, our best performance imo was the defeat to yourselves on opening day.. Every game seems to be an occasion compared to the League 1 drivel... How did you rate Dundee United last week, are they all that....

    Apparently we offered him a deal weeks ago, training etc, Looking for wages we couldn't afford , still think he will sign up when no one else offers a better deal than pars.

    What's happened to ICT , I wasn't expecting much today, coming up against a hardened top 4 championship side, to be honest we didn't play well, and we didn't really have to, 2 quick goals from mistakes, game over really, ICT pass the ball about well enough, but final ball or decision making in the final third was as poor as I have seen. 40 minutes against 10 men with a midfield 3 of a combined age of 57, is Dodds on a shoogly peg or can you not afford to bag him, Also, just catching up on the thread about the club running up 800k losses, are you guys now stuck in a tail spin of managed decline.

    Is Wotherspoon still training with the pars, what's the reason he isn't signing, do you still need him though, with Summers signing(good player)
  22. Passionate
    Trust the process, this current let's be honest relatively successful era is an ' Iain King wet dream '.. This was the mantra that was driven years ago under Wotherspoon, King and EWB which couldn't gain any traction and was scrapped for various reasons back then.. Good luck to the lad though,

    .Most memorable game I can remember was the first league game of The Archibald era, Sombrero Saturday it was called, roasting hot , sombreros everywhere and we ended up on the the end of a 4 goal hiding.. Both clubs fortunes we contrasting back then.. I saw you guys against Dumbarton a few weeks back, alright you lost, but in any other game you would have won easily, Welsh and Carson is as good a midfield pairing going around ,what's happened are you in a managed decline status as a club..

    I think we signed owenie at that time from Ross County, don't know what happened there, he seemed shot when we initially got him back, but McCall somehow got that side to click and we had a great season although ultimately ended in heartbreak on and off the park. ICT have had a great run, do you think you will get back to the Premiership, or is not that good to be a fan in that league, Dodds from afar seems to be doing a decent job, hearing a few rumblings that is not the case, Dodds is a west coast media whore though, so everything is always rosy..
