  1. Past hour
  2. Missed opportunity there- we could have take the 600 seats up to Tannadice…..
  3. Adams has had premiership interest, so I imagine there is a good chance he will be back there regardless. If you look at Adams recent appearances, he is very much a first choice now. He wasn’t earlier in the season when it looked like he was going to be leaving. You always need to bear in mind that players can be in and out more at Championship level due to the volume of games too. I’ll be surprised if Dykes is in the championship next season, never mind the premiership if his performance levels continue tbh. That’s a fair enough point, maybe my point should be changed to a starting player for a Premiership club that isn’t just making up the numbers. I think there’s difference between being in the Premiership for a season as part of woeful teams as a squad player, and actually regularly starting games as Adams has for a half decent side over a few seasons.
  4. Generally this would be the exact team that I would have out too. With exception of Mulligan in place of Cameron. The midfield of Sylla, Cameron and McCowan really clicked in the Aberdeen game and I think that is the combination that should go in to this game, with Mulligan coming on later for extra energy. I can't see him starting Mellon and Tiffoney though, I think it'll be Bakayoko and Tiffoney up front for Tiffoney to run on to second balls etc. Dodgson looked far better in his natural position too. Even if Carson is fully fit I don't think he should start as McCracken has basically done nothing wrong - his place to lose for the rest of the season.
  5. Here's how history was taught in Apartheid South African schools: (https://www.theguardian.com/education/2001/mar/16/schools.news). Gough grew up in a society where all institutions were dedicated to the maintenance of the political project they were upholding (Apartheid). That heavily conditioned the population. Cosgrove should be allowed to flippantly reference Gough's support for Apartheid at the time without having to explain all that. The complainant will've been one of these folk who shit the bed whenever anything to do with racism is mentioned.
  6. Yeah, add me to the list of not just wanting a hefty inheritance tax but incredibly tight regulation and hefty punishments for avoiding. Personally, I'm lucky in my family that my parents are both in good health despite being older. I am one of six and and my brother will be in charge of everything when my parents pass. It will be really modest and I couldn't give a shit, I'm just glad I have been lucky to have the parents I have. We have encouraged them to spend everything they have in their advancing years so they can enjoy them but it's not in their nature to do that. For my missus, it's a slightly different position. Her father is minted and her and her siblings stand to inherit millions. You can already see it becoming shitty between family members and some of them talking as if the poor c**t is already dead. I really hope he gets rid of loads of it to charity tbh and fucks them all off.
  7. Nothing more british than a pastry flavoured with our native dried grapes and cinnamon.
  8. Have St Johnstone given us an extra 'block' in the main stand than usual? We have block A and B this time round with the other block in the North stand closest to the St Johnstone fans only partially opened up.
  9. I don't really follow the EPL or EFL, but part of my football podcast rotation is the Guardian football weekly, the recent EFL round-up podcast (last week I think) covered the current state of finances in the lower leagues down there. Just in case anyone is vaguely interested and doesn't fancy reading through a bunch of accounts. Basically all about EFL clubs, across the leagues, overspending to ridiculous levels to try and get to the EPL or move up leagues. There was a mad stat like 125% of the turnover of English championship clubs is spent on wages.
  10. They must be the ones that don't sing 'we are the Dundee haters' then.. I'm not way wide of the mark, I would objectively like United to always be in the same league as Dundee as it's a pretty boring season without having your local rivals in there for a derby. That doesn't mean I would want to see short term pain inflicted on them in the way of relegation. Any St Johnstone fan who suggests otherwise is just pretending, otherwise they need to update their songbook.
  11. That is fantastic news! Well done the Jim McMillan Lounge and those who helped with the installation.
  12. It was good seeing that footage from the ‘90s of Dair scoring at Tannadice. I see that Crawford and Dair have just taken over at Cowdenbeath as the new management team.
  13. Hi Mo fans I'm coming up with my son and father in law tomorrow, likely arriving about 1ish to go for food and make a day of it for the wee man. Any recommendations on good places to eat?
  14. Amazing strongman, but a ***, so goes to the bottom of the pile on general principles.
  15. Meh, he might. He nearly moved to Everton in the summer window. As much as Southampton are having a decent season though, they're unlikely to get automatic promotion and the playoffs are a bit of a lottery which one of Ipswich / Leicester / Leeds will be favourites for. He's started just under half of their games and is very much behind Adam Armstrong in the pecking order. I don't think it's a given that he'll be back there. Burnley tried to buy Dykes in the summer and were also interested the previous year. Albeit they'll likely be back in the Championship next season. Oli McBurnie and Jacob Brown literally ARE at English Premiership clubs right now.
  16. Hopefully be able soon to say to Annan "for you the chase is over, Goodbye."
  17. Aye, I mean as I said I find it interesting in that there seems to be a scramble to assign blame and I'm not posting this to be sceptical about us appointing him. It's more that it's quite a pivot from the positive noises that were coming from Shrewsbury fans when he stepped down (McGarry was talking about how beloved Caldwell seemed to be in his Herald mailout yesterday). From my POV I'm quite curious to hear from him and get a handle on how he approaches the role compared with Burrows and Weir. There's a lot of "how did this happen" Helen Lovejoy-ing in this thread on the Shrewsbury forum. https://blueandamber.proboards.com/thread/107032/accounts-due £800k increase in wages, £500k increase in "administrative costs". Again, that's interesting compared to the approach we've seen this season with Weir in the role as interim. The main gist of the rumour, innuendo and slander seems to be directed towards their former manager Steve Cotterill and Caldwell. Cotterill for running up the costs and Caldwell for signing off on it. It looks like it's been this statement from Shrewsbury's owner following Cotterill's exit that's lead their fans to jump to the conclusion that something was amiss:
