Looks like the club are expecting a bumper crowd. Hopefully the team can get the win and encourage everyone to come back for the trophy presentation 2 weeks later. Thankfully it’s not the same manager as last year. Remember a bumper crowd turning up v QoS in the last league game. Performance was atrocious and hardly anybody turned up for the playoffs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye that's good they have opened up the last section of the NW, in a Dreamland I wonder if they open NE or the Cowdenbeath end for overspill home fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf we were well on top and deservedly ahead until it became apparent the score was meaningless. At that stage the playoff game became more important. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think until the Norrie end is sold out they won't bother. Would be nice to see it as busy from a home point of view as the Falkirk game. Obviously QoS aren't going to fill the Cowden end but it's still a big game for them so they might bring an okay crowd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only really remember Chalmers’ own goal, which summed up his and the team’s season! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA-go Par Adonis Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Looks like the North East is open, but that's where our friends from Dumfries will be housed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 We were winning 1-0 at half time (Edwards early on). We were playing pretty decently until half time. As for Saturday don't think it'll come close to selling out for us but will definitely a bigger than normal crowd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toun Clock Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I remember leaving that game as soon as the Chalmers OG went in. Beer in hand up the town by time the Queens winner went in. Last season was utter dogshit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have some faith in Magic Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Good enough for the championship so happy he is staying. I think he will be the only one of the out of contract forwards to get a new deal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Good news. He was good at championship level before and is playing under a manager that rates him very highly and will be happy to build the attack around him. He’s not a physical threat, but he reads the game well, is skilful and scores goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 McPake's comments are bizarre. Again, his whole interview in The Courier is about Dundee on Craig Wighton signing an extension for you. I really don't get where he's coming from either - he's blaming our board (whom he's still clearly very bitter about punting him) for our managers (who were excellent apparently) for playing Craig Wighton. Quote “He was probably put out there too soon in terms of being a poster boy for a football club. He was only 16 and I can speak about it because I was there. It was not something that I particularly agreed with but he was exposed to things he maybe shouldn’t have been doing when he was so young, due to the impact that he had at Dundee. I don’t know if it hindered him too much but it certainly didn’t help him. Then he scored that goal that they all speak about against United and it elevated him again. He went to Hearts and I come back to what football does – it gives you kicks and it can hurt you. I don’t think that was handled particularly well and that wasn’t the manager, that was the football club, in my opinion. I can speak from experience because I have had players very similar to Craig: Finlay Robertson, Lyall Cameron, Josh Mulligan, Sam Fisher – all playing for Dundee. I don’t think Dundee did that with Craig. Paul Hartley was excellent with him, Neil McCann was excellent and then he was a bit older when the next manager came in. The club in general, the higher-up people at the club didn’t handle it very well in my opinion. It had an effect on Craig because when you are so young and you are carrying the expectations of the full club which was the case, then as soon as you have a bad game people recognise it more and you are held more accountable. For one, he says Neil McCann was 'excellent' with him - it was him that punted him to Hearts for nothing and he wasn't around when the manager McPake can never name (Jim McIntyre) because he doesn't like him. Secondly, Finlay Robertson got the exact same 'hero' treatment Wighton did when he broke through - only Wighton got elevated after he relegated United. That has nothing to do with the board and is just natural for a fanbase to go wild about a youth player breaking through that ends up sticking the ultimate dagger into your rivals. That has absolutely nothing to do with board. John Brown, Paul Hartley & Neil McCann's handling of Wighton as a youth player can be questioned, but baffling that McPake finds the need to have yet another pop at Dundee which has become a semi-regular thing these days. Just find it bizarre this chip McPake has on his shoulder and seems to mention us almost every couple of weeks. On the whole though, absolutely delighted Craig Wighton is doing well for you lads and finally settling with a club. Always had the talent just not always the application. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam899 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 McPake has done well at Pars. He should just focus on doing the good job he’s doing rather than deflecting from the absolute shambles he was at Dundee with these bizarre, contradictory comments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
