This the strogest line up then..............

Legzdins

French       McGhee       Ashcroft        Kerr

Byrne      McGowan

McMullan                Cameron

Mulligan

Robinson

 

Nearly agree, but this league requires experience and know how.

Cameron, Mulligan and Robinson won’t be in a league winning team.

On another note, nearly ten years since the Americans appeared with big promises, we are now in a worse position when they took over, staggering but not surprising

Think it's a good blend of youth and experience, what would you change?

Unfortunately we don’t have the players mate.
We don’t have a Brian Graham or the boy from Ayr
 

I’ve always thought Brian Graham was under rated. He doesn’t score that many goals but his all round game is good. Link him with a Cumdog type and you’ve a half decent combo.

Sam Fisher doing well for Dunfermline, maybe should've been given him his chance here?

Hard to say BSA, he's only had one start I beleive. Done well enough yesterday though by all accounts, however Sammon is a step below what he'd face in the Championship...

Sad to hear that John Duncan has died. Excellent player and manager…and one of football’s genuinely good guys.

 

Really sad to hear this.

I was 8 years old and behind the goal in the T. C. Keay when we were playing Cologne. Had probably swapped ends at half time.

Had been going to games regularly with my Dad and his mates by then but nothing prepared me for that night.

They were great, had future WC winner Wolfgang Overath waltzing round like he owned the place but we were good.

We were 2-1 down and 4-2 down on aggregate with 20 minutes to go and John Duncan goes and scores twice in 4 minutes to get his hat trick and the tie to 4-4 (still going out) before Bobby Wilson scored the crucial goal in the last minute.

It was mental.

Probably the single moment that hooked me and has caused me 50 years of mostly misery since.

Talk about limbs. I can still see the goals now. John Duncan was unreal, so elegant a player, scored for fun and with Jocky and Gordon Wallace we were mega upfront.

A couple of years later he took my primary class for P.E. as part of his teacher training, he told me off for calling him John, he was the only primary teacher that I knew the first name of.

I let him off though, he was my hero.

RIP John.

That doesn’t stop him from putting the ball closer to the left of the goal before taking the kick. 

Er, that would lead to him aiming more right which would have meant the wind catching the ball even more. With that wind the answer was to kick it down the middle.

How about kick it slightly to the left and the wind will keep it in the park. 
 

I can forgive Legzdins the 1st couple of times he did it but to continually keep doing it in the 1st half beggars belief. Was the manager at any point telling him to stop putting it to the right?

No.

What was even more criminal was Legzdins was constantly shouting at his back line to come short but not once did they switch on quick enough before Arbroath players could push high up.

Thought today was excellent for the kids. My young lad almost certainly has taken his love for the Dee to a new level after getting to play on the hallowed pitch and meet the players. Legzdins is a class act as well. Out of everyone he was the most engaged with the fans.

He was out beforehand chatting,  signing autographs and posing for photos with the kids. After the game a few of the players were away down the tunnel asap (nothing against them doing so) but Legzdins was still hanging about and let a couple of the youngsters hit a penalty at him.

An intelligent man by the sounds of things. Fans pissed at you is bound to breed mistakes.
