The Moonster Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) Mental as it sounds as our support is generally poor, you'll get a decent turn out from St Johnstone. I can't remember the last time we played Dumbarton, never mind at the Rock... supposing we get you guys away that is. I see big Fraz has signed a new contract with you guys As nice as it would be to welcome you guys to the Rock, it's just as likely we'll draw Ross County and need to head for Dingwall on a Tuesday night. I just can't understand the decision, as S08 says, why have Falkirk in the North draw and Stenny in the South and then force Dumbarton, who are less than 15 miles from Glasgow, to travel north. EDIT - In my seethe over this draw I forgot to say - Big Fraz Edited May 26, 2016 by The Moonster 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Pleased with big Fraz staying. I fear that this season may be a step too far for him but I think he seems like a good guy to have around. Adds some vital experience. Also - if the two Stevies get an offer elsewhere and choose to accept it I'd like to see big Faz take the reigns until something is sorted. I'd love to see him heider f**k out Houston on the touchline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Looks like we might be getting that pre-season Highland tour after all A piece of nonsense for a tournament we have next to no chance of progressing in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Looks like we might be getting that pre-season Highland tour after all A piece of nonsense for a tournament we have next to no chance of progressing in. The thing that annoys me is they changed it to this format in order to create local matches and bigger crowds. Why even bother with seeding then? Get local teams playing each other and keep the prices low(ish). This news has completely sucked any small enthusiasm I had for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Big Fraz playing another year. What a top man. I hope we draw you in this crazy league Cup format so we can all serenade him for 90 minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the result of the seedings. North 1. Ross County, Inverness CT, Dundee, St Johnstone 2. Dundee Utd, Raith, Falkirk, Dumbarton 3. Elgin, Peterhead, Cove Rangers, Brechin, Forfar, Arbroath, Montrose, East Fife, Dumfermline, Cowdenbeath, Alloa, Stirling South 1. Kilmarnock, Motherwell, Hamilton, Partick Thistle 2. QoTS, St Mirren, Rangers, Morton 3. Annan, Stranraer, Berwick, Ayr, Queens Park, Livingston, Edinburgh City, Airdrie, Albion Rovers, Clyde, Stenhousemuir, East Stirlingshire if we were in the south pot we would have finished 9th & been in the playoffs (or potentially if Hibs had Hibsed it) Edited May 26, 2016 by GoTeamGaz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Aye, I realise that now. Quite why you need to seed a regionalised tournament is anyone's guess. Bunch of fuds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squeezeboxson Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 ImageUploadedByPie & Bovril1464249853.630682.jpg Sounds like sparky has had full time offers, if so I imagine he'll be off Reads a little bit like the full time offer may be from the league below to me. Possibly Airdrie or Livi fancy taking him? As solid as Sparky is, I didn't expect him to get a move to a team like Raith, St Mirren etc... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirdrockfromtheSon Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Fraz is staying on -> clicky Happy enough with a good, experienced player re-signing, but I can't help thinking that at 37, his legs might give up a bit this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Happy enough with a good, experienced player re-signing, but I can't help thinking that at 37, his legs might give up a bit this year. Yes and so it would be nice to see Saunders and/or Buchanan commit in the near future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 It's been pretty quiet regarding big Bucky. Was a lot of chat around him heading to the Pars but I've not heard much for the last few weeks. Hopefully that's a good thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionel wickson Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Dunfermline have signed Lee Ashcroft who I think is a centre back. They've also picked up Nat Wedderburn who can play centre back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmacDFC Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 In my opinion, Bucky, Gaz and Nade are the most important re-signings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thommo90 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Dunfermline have signed Lee Ashcroft who I think is a centre back. They've also picked up Nat Wedderburn who can play centre back. I thought Ashcroft was a starter for Kilmarnock.. Quite a good signing for Dunfermline 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've also picked up Nat Wedderburn who can play centre back. Very good point actually. Completely slipped my mind that they had signed both of them. If we could get Nade, Fleming, Bucky and Barr signed up we would have a very solid spine to build around. It will be interesting to see who Routledge's replacement is. What about Cairney at Stranraer? Is Ryan Stevenson out of contract? Is Nicky Phinn available? Struggling to think of many centre mid options who would be a good replacement for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albundy Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Yes and so it would be nice to see Saunders and/or Buchanan commit in the near future. Was thinking the exact same thing.. we could do with a more mobile player next to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
