  1. Hear what everyone is saying but still think we could have been more ambitious in our manager appointment. The club have layed out a lot of money on the infrastructure around the ground, new frontage, scoreboard, club shop in the Abbey gate etc and it will be a shame if we slide down the leagues after these last few seasons. As a club we need to be prudent, but it will cost us financially to drop to Lg1, and it might have been that a higher profile manager appointment would have paid off, and maintained our Championship status.
  2. I don't think we were ambitious enough after the Campbells left. Did we ask Scott Brown (who went to Ayr) or anyone of similar stature.? His contacts or someone in the same bracket would have far more contacts at the top that JMac. Loanees from Celtic or other top clubs instead of Irish lower level or players from lower level clubs could have given us the quality to turn around the unbalanced squad left when the Campbells left imo.
  3. Innes Murray??? You're having a laugh. Better with Stowe who should improve with experience.
  4. He has went from the best central defender in the championship to a player who looked nowhere near match ready yesterday. Is he coming back too quickly? . I would say yes. On the games side, reckon we need 6 wins from now to stand any chance of survival. A tall order under any circumstances, but with the sort of fight and commitment shown against Raith, we would stand a chance, but on yesterday's showing not a hope.
  5. Some great memories of the last 5 seasons. Wighton at Tannadice for a 1-0, Hamilton on the telly v Killie, same result, and Dowds at Rugby Park are just three. And of course Noubs up front, and the common denominator, all loanees. It's a good way to get better players for a part time club. Great to hear James McFadden praising us so well on Friday and good to hear the Legend Bobby Linn saying we will stay up.
  6. Just saw the goals and that is not even schoolboy defending. Total embarrassment.
  7. It's been a blast in the Championship but it's reality check time now guys and gals. Apart from 1 season, we have always been bottom half and survival has been a success, but relegation was always going to happen at some time. Looking ahead, we need to be challenging for the title next season. Financially we will probably take a hit but JMac should be able to put together a side challenging at the top of Lg1. If not it's back to the manager revolving office door again.
  8. How about the old favourite "We will rock you"
  9. Dick has made a career of taking teams in the doldrums and improving them. Look at his record with Brechin,Forfar and us as an example. He will likely do the same at East Fife. The problem seems that he reaches a certain level and then the ideas run out and he leaves under a cloud. He used his knowledge of the lower leagues to get the best part time players but the last two seasons he had signed most of the best part time players and he had to rely on unknown players from the lower English leagues and with a few exceptions they have been failures. Being the only part time team in this league, we are fishing in a limited pool unlike the full time sides.
  10. Knowing our luck they will drop with ilus via the play offs
  11. Jim MacIntyre in the papers today saying we are trying to bring in loan players and we will have a new face on Saturday. Any rumours and where should we be looking to add in. Surely not another midfielder! We are short up top imo.
  12. Gats had saved us on so many occasions this season and deserves to be first pick if fit. Boruc made one bloomer I saw when kicking straight to Kane who very nearly scored. Nobody is perfect but Gats makes less mistakes imo.
