Skyline Drifter Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 16 minutes ago, Monkey Tennis said: No it's not. You're actively saying that it's harder to assemble a decent cheap fulltime squad, than a yet cheaper part-time one. Your idea that our surroundings weren't relevant because we'd be looking to sign more expensive players than those being sought by other clubs in those surroundings, took nonsense to new and giddying heights. Ohkaaaay then. Not remotely what I said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
football maniac Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I find it frustrating those that are presuming we would have got relegated last season. Noone could really see the upturn in form this season, so who's to say we wouldn't have rallied together last season and got ourselves out of bother? Ive loved watching us this season! We have a great mix of pace, creativity and players who give their absolute maximum 100% effort. Its really seeming to make many fans including me really gel with this team, but in some ways it makes it more regretful that we can't be there to show our support. Last season to be fair was everything this season wasn't. It was stale from the get go and the players we signed were your more usual round the block type players. This team is young and fresh with a great mix. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm genuinely concerned for you Snafu ......... I'm told that cognitive therapy can produce wonderful results these days ....... perhaps a wee word with your GP might help? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true ........ but then again Hearts and Thistle and Stranraer could say the same and its purely conjecture and of course we might not have rallied after all. We'll never know. As you say, its a shame we can't get to see this team first hand. I'm loving the effort and commitment recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidofthesouth Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Tough one today. Would take a point. Hopefully a couple more bodies back in today to help out the squad - Fitzpatrick & maybe McCabe? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously would love a win or even a point but I just don't feel it's going to happen. I don't know much about Dundee in footballing terms just that they've got Charlie Adam through midfield, Jordan Marshall on the left and the big fella up front. So my pessimism isn't based on any football analysis. Just feel that a win here would be too good to be true - can't believe we've actually turned it around that much just yet. At some point the hard work will inevitably dip for a game or two and the opposition won't always be toothless up front, and that's what's got us points in the last couple matches against bigger sides. Suspect today will be that day. Did Northfield put you up to writing this? I thought it was actually a post from him until I noticed the use of punctuation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Northfield put you up to writing this? About a month ago if you looked at this run of fixtures... Hearts, ICT, Dundee and Dunfermline... you would have been happy with 4 points. The fact that 4 points have been claimed already gives reason for optimism, but also we shouldn't be too disappointed if it's a blank today. Hopefully, whatever the outcome today, it's another decent performance so momentum and optimism can be maintained for next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yes, in a perfect world ...... but just maybe, just possibly, not every poster on P&B will have the same levels of grammatical skills? It's a platform for everyone. Just a wee thought.
