crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 He’s been a very good centre back when called upon for the best part of a year now for us and our record with him in the team this season is very good. However, you would have to question why he would want to sign a new deal as 4th choice centre half at the age of 28. I just hope that if he goes in January, we can get a run of games injury free from Sol and Ojala. They’re probably our first choice and they’ve only played together twice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's improved no doubt but is still nothing more than decent for this level. Not sure who Dundee's current defenders are but if Lamie represents an upgrade they must be pish. 52 minutes ago, crazylegsjoe_mfc said: He’s been a very good centre back when called upon for the best part of a year now for us and our record with him in the team this season is very good.

I'm more of the RonAldo opinion here to be honest. He definitely improved under GA and the GA system. But, for me, it's a jump to say he was a very good centre back when called on last 12 months. He was an able replacement I reckon. Fully agree with crazylegsjoe on the final thought though. An injury free run of games at centre back would be ideal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we're all finally priced out of the English bubble. Lamie has really impressed me since the latter part of last season and I liked the fact he redeemed himself - but he was starting from a Zak Jules-level low bar to be fair. Looking forward to signing a Venezuelan playing in the Bhutan premier league as his replacement. Good spot. There’s umpteen ex-players lining up against bus this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew it wasn’t many but 2 out of 22 league games is more than enough to suggest back up options will have plenty opportunity to play. It’s also nae use trying to build an established partnership when one of the other is constantly injured. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 There was a spell when you were waiting every game for the Lamie moment and hoping it didn't result in conceding a goal. He has definitely improved and was fairly dependable but hasn't been seen recently. Don't know if that's down to injury, Covid or just not being fancied. What are the chances of Dundee giving us a nominal fee to take him off our hands? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to signing a Venezuelan playing in the Bhutan premier league as his replacement. I had thought the same, or at least it feels like it's trending that way. The Watt to United transfer still seems weird because of the optics and everything around it but in and of itself Ricki Lamie to Dundee on a PCA doesn't seem that surprising (despite what a certain section of our support on social media might think). What does seem new or at least different is the amount of PCAs that have been 'leaked' early and the leveraging a move early for a (nominal) fee. Should he f**k off this window that will mean we've seen Carson and Watt to United, Lamie to Dundee, Crawford to Thistle and Lawless cut loose entirely (and end up at Dunfermline). Five players all ending up exclusively at Scottish clubs. 7 hours ago, YassinMoutaouakil said: I'm actually quite interested to see how Lamie gets on tbh. Basically everyone played at Centre Back under Alexander has looked passable at worst, while Robinson's record was much flakier. Lamie feels like a lower Premiership, Upper Championship defender to me, but if he's able to maintain his 2021 form then Dundee have won a watch. I'm not remotely arsed about losing him though tbh, personally just a player I've never taken to, and it's nice to draw a line under the Gallagher/Watt/Lamie trifecta. Strong agree with that. In fact it's feels notable that the whole Pals of Declan group has pretty much been shut down. That whole episode of Robinson trying to recreate a Livi side circa 2018/19 was quite weird eh?

Burrows currently pushing for a roll n mince, a couple of pints and a free table for a couple of hrs at the snooker club down the road before our next game at Dens, if he's to be allowed to move this window. Wiggle room on table payment I believe, but the mince roll is non-negotiable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Manhattan Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Is there any food on Earth that isn't improved by being put in a nice well-fired morning roll? If this isn't already a Tik Tok challenge there's some monetisation potential there, surely. I'm off to make a start with a bridie & baked beans combo for lunch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allroy for Prez Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 We’re missing Watt so much, the c**t that he is. Losing him is going to f**k up our season big time, and annoyingly, galvanise Utd’s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
