Rhys McCabe Hype Train

Bit encouraging that coming off the back of a scudding at FIrhill. Don’t know what Utd were playing at, camped on their 18 yard line for large parts of the game, allowing us to play in front of them… maybe that’s Jim getting them prepared for how they’ll play in the Prem. As for the exuberance of the Dundee Utd faithful, well we enjoyed our time at New Douglas Park last May and also at The Falkirk Stadium in March, so suppose we’ll take that one on the chin… literally.

Wee brown envelopes kicking about Hampden with a “Black Rooster” stamp on it imo.

Mcbookie offering 10/1 on Airdrie going up if anyone fancies a flutter.

He’s like a Dabrowski but without the wondersaves that anyone watching Friday night’s Inverness vs Raith match would’ve seen.

And still the only one I’d have in our team would be Brian Graham at 36 years old. I think the rest of your comments are probably pent out of frustration but honestly can’t look past how much of a success this season has been. Right up until the Raith game I was always of the “8th place is the goal” camp but on top of that we’ve won a trophy, beaten Premiership opposition and qualified for a chance at the top league next season. For what its worth, I do think the play-offs are probably a stretch too far for us (plus I totally can’t be arsed playing with VAR) but definitely worth pocketing the cash and building for next season in what is sure to be a much more open league. I’ve even spent a while on transfermarkt looking through the players in the Championship who are out of contract and getting myself excited: improvements wise I think we probably need a good four or five quality additions across the park to augment the squad.

Ah well.

Frizzell no even the best midfielder at Airdrie this season ffs.

Usual from Murray, chuck as many forwards on the pitch and hope one of them does something.

How does Scott Brown manage to get on BBC Scotland’s coverage every week, despite having nothing to do with the match being covered?

Touting Watt, Donnelly etc as comparable to Gallagher is verging on laughable, I’m afraid. Donnelly went on trial at Wigan after six months where everything he kicked went in the net, and was never the same again. Watt was in the team for 16 appearances and got a move to Celtic. Nowhere near comparable. Lister and the likes of Keighan Parker get the “cult hero” status, with the former having a great partnership with Prunty that season. Andy Ryan scored a decent amount of goals but again moved on pretty much as soon as he could. Gallagher stuck with the club when we were a bumbling League One outfit and his goals over the last three campaigns fired us to the playoffs, albeit perhaps he wasn’t as prolific as he was last term. So in terms of longevity and contribution he shouldn’t be even mentioned in the same breath as some of the names touted thus far.

Decent number of good prospects on Consilium’s books that are out of contract… hoping that we can perhaps sign one or two to bolster the ranks.

Calum’s a great lad. Hope he hits the ground running for you as he’s shown he can score loads in League One.

A large explosion would certainly improve the Drumgelloch area… would hope the coffee cabin would escape unscathed though.

I know there’s a lot of romanticising about going up, but for me next season will be far more important. With the Navy Blue Pound finally escaping obscurity and Livi replacing Dundee United, next season’s Championship will be a whole lot more open and every club will think they’ll have claims to promotion/play-off places. I think next season again is about consolidation and showing that this season wasn’t just a flash in the pan a-la Arbroath a few years back, and we probably should have a bit of realism as well that we’ve been in League One for ten of the last eleven seasons. If we can escape the relegation playoffs with four to play again, I’ll take that. Still think we’ll go up through the play-offs, but.
