Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 You bunch of DAB's will need to get the three points here, that Dumfries is a b*****d of a place to go and get a victory. 'Must win' game. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coppola Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Fancy Utd to win this but can't see us keeping 2 clean sheets in a row. Smith in for Fraser will probably be the only change. 3-1 Utd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeArab Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 looking forward to Saturday. Smith coming back will make up for scott Fraser being suspended. Queens also had a good cup group stage so gonna be a tight match. 3-1 United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmy_cammy Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Not a chance we'll be booing Durnan. As has been stated he was well liked and a very good player for us. That said I'm not completely shocked he had a difficult first season with United. He had is ropey moments for us, particularly when played without an experienced partner such as Dowie or Higgins. I think they helped with his positioning, which needs to be good as he isn't the fastest. I actually thought of all our players to leave for pastures new that Summer, he had made the wisest move given United's recent history of nurturing young talent. It was obviously a disastrous season for everyone at the club though, and not a great environment to be learning your trade at a higher level. If you stick with him this season I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. He should coast it at this level, especially in a side that will presumably be on top most weeks. Daft though it sounds, I'd much rather he made a success of things at United, than came back to us. For what it's worth, of the United games I saw last season, I thought Coll Donaldson was a far bigger bombscare than Durnan ever was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one at Alloa in Fowler's first season about Xmas where Higgy called off ill and Dowie was serving the second match of his two game ban for stamping on Ian Black.Alloa v QoS Dec 14 Durnan played alongside Hooper that day. Without checking them all, would there not have been games in the 2nd division title season that Higgy missed before Dowie was with us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmy_cammy Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Was he noticeably poorer alongside Dowie than Higgins, or vice versa? I do remember thinking at the time who he played with made a difference, and now I think about it, it obviously had to be one or the other as we didn't really have any other centre halves. I could of course just be talking rubbish. He definitely had the odd ropey game, although no more than you'd expect for his age and experience at the time.

Having a quick check through that season`s reports Durnan was partnered by Ryan McGuffie in central defence on 4 occasions. Challenge cup semi victory v Arbroath, victories over Forfar 3-1 and Stranraer 5-0 in league plus a 1-1 draw in the league at Arbroath. Also partnered by Stephen Black in a 2-0 league win V Stranraer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
