BallochSonsFan Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) The nick of Youngs Farm this evening.1 in 200 flood risk dont you know...Flooding isnt the main issue with the site. Trying to drain the land with a high leven is. The drainage on that land is really poor. The burns overflowing arent the problem so much as draining waterlogged ground.

Given that Boghead was built on a swamp and our current ground is built on reclaimed land a mere flood plain should be nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I see that Turnberry Homes have submitted a planning application to build 16 houses and 22 flats on the old Thomson's Yard at Leven Street. I wonder when they will begin plans for the cleared site at Castle Road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE CHOSEN SON Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I read something earlier about St. Mirren not being willing to pay compensation for a new manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Quitely Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I read something earlier about St. Mirren not being willing to pay compensation for a new manager. I've already discounted Ian Murray in connection with any Premier job as he is not yet ready for that league. However, this very morning an opportunity may have presented itself for him and Dunfermline Athletic. Yes, they are in the the third tier, but would expect to come up; they are a bigger club than Sons with a bigger support and arguably more potential. They are also only 20 mins from his house. Buy when stocks are low they say, so if he could turn the Pars into something of a force again it would effectively complete his lower division apprenticeship. The key question might be what is their current financial situation - could they afford compo, for example - but this one might be worth the watching. The Livvy job I would discount as that club is just so much of a basket case at present. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Potter & Neil McCann are in charge of the Pars till the end of the season and most of the fans expect them to get the job after that. I don't see Murray going there or Livi. I'm not sure I understand the "not yet ready for the Premier" stuff. Is he any less prepared than Hartley? Or Danny Lennon? Aye, he makes some mistakes but the job he's done here isn't to be sniffed at. Arguably he's done a better job in this division than both Hartley and Lennon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunfermline have a new manager already, so there's no substance to this speculation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Sorry, I should have added 'in my opinion', one I fully stand by. That's fair enough. I'm just interested in why you think that? I agree that he's still learning and can make mistakes but I'm not sure he's any less ready than some others who have taken the jump and done reasonable jobs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howlin' Wilf Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I wouldn't expect Murray to move unless it were to a club in the Premiership or one destined for there (a la Hartley). His stock is high so I doubt he'd risk it on a move sideways, albeit one with a bigger salary. I would think Dunfermline's ability to pay compensation would be somewhere around the square root of hee-haw as evidenced by their decision to go in-house. Is Muzz ready for the Premiership? Was Paul Hartley? Was Alex Neil? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howlin' Wilf Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Muzz was pretty good on Sportsound. He seems to have barely concealed contempt for one of his former clubs mind you.......... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howlin' Wilf Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Did Dumbarton get any mention at all or was it just standard Old Firm chatter? From the bits I heard it was mainly about Rangers and the absurd amount of money they have paid to diddies over the years. Dumbarton got mentions in passing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
