Some of the others are just fucking horrendous, do Alloa still come out to The A Team ? going down south sure Everton are still the Z Cars theme tune In our 2-0 defeat away to Dundee Utd last season Utd came out to Stone Cold Steve Austin's wrestling theme tune. Was helluva cringe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we had a sell-on fee as well as additional incentives based on future appearances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hope that doesn’t mean Hanlon’s fucked! I assume it's just so we don't end up in a similar position to Saturday again. I said earlier in the summer I thought we'd bring in another defender for this reason. If one was out injured for even a few weeks we'd only be an injury or suspension away from playing someone out of position like last season. We did offer Corr another contract so I assume IM has always had this in mind too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Those are Murray's quotes from immediately after the game, so while it could be that there are more serious injuries than we were led to believe, it's not any kind of development since Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could pick up someone in the same range as Gibson and Montagu it would be preferable I'd imagine. Someone that can be worked with for a longer term but capable of getting minutes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover the Moon Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 22 hours ago, CountryBumpkin said: I'd agree, the Chicago Bulls did that one really well. (not sure if they still do?) On the football side, I took from Murray's post match that we should see Stanton back from illness. Brown and Euan Murray are possible, Vaughan and Hanlon will depend on how they react to training this week. I still feel we need 1-2 bodies in. A quick striker and a genuine box to box midfielder that can break past the forwards and create space. I'd go with the following for Saturday assuming everyone is available. Dabrowski Freeman Murray Fordyce Stevenson Byrne Brown Stanton Gibson Easton Hamilton I can’t help but feel that going with the same system that failed every time against Airdrie last season would be madness, and the same issues would arise. I was hoping that we’d have had the chance to at least try a 3-5-2/3-4-3 during pre-season or the cup games with this game in mind but we’ve obviously had some injuries to contend with. The best spell we had against Airdrie last season was in the last match at Stark’s when we went 3-5-2, high-intensity Murrayball at 2-0 down and almost levelled before being done on the break. That, to me, is what’s needed again but it looks like it will be more of the same and just hope that the new boys win more of their individual battles than we managed against Airdrie last term. Can’t say I’m confident. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t say I’m confident. Don't entirely disagree with you there. Thought that last season we lost a lot, against Airdrie and others because we were so light in the centre of midfield. Murrayball gives us this ridiculous situation where we have Byrne, or Brown alone in the midfield because everyone else is pushed higher up and when they beat our press, Frizzell and others found far too much space and caused chaos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllanJM Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I felt our biggest issue against Airdrie last season was not being aggressive enough with or without the ball. We stood off them too much and allowed them to play their quick passing game. When we did have the ball, we didn't play our own quick passing game enough. When we did it briefly in the last game we looked like we could get at them. Callum Fordyce does a lot of shouting and organising on the pitch and I don't see him letting us stand off them as much this season as he knows better than anyone what a Rhys McCabe team is capable of doing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllanJM Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Just to add to that, a massive part of us being aggressive is having Scott Brown in the middle of the park. He adds impetus to our attack and absolutely doesn't stand off players when we're out of possession. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partly it was down to shape, but the Rovers didn't match up well enough when Accies had the ball, and the balance in the midfield was off. Brown would've gone a long way to redressing that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of yet I can't remember any such offers. There's also mention of competitions, they did give away a players shirt from one of the Dundee United games last season but nothing recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it’s maybe 10% off but I’ve never tried it yet - probably should have considering the amount of tops I’ve bought recently 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
