Diamond8 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Strange watching the premiership scores with an interest to see who's joining us next season. Love it. Looks like it's Dundee United for certain and potentially Ross County. Both grounds I've never been to. Bring it on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLDiamond Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 We’re Tannadice bound next season I think…. Ross County and Plastic Whistle fighting for other space is my prediction. TBH, would rather go to Firhill than the Highland hills in the middle of December 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*marko* Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Still well and truly revelling in Saturday's momentous victory. My old boy sent me this yesterday which I thoroughly enjoyed. Through the eyes of a ground hopping neutral... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Roy and Jack Mckay after him, may aswell. For what it's worth I thought Kurtis Roberts was/is a totally underrated player. It was a logical and justified signing at the time, for whatever reason he wasn't fancied and ultimately struggled with fitness issues. I genuinely wouldn't slam the door on him as a squad player even now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 3 hours ago, Kenny_m said: This is quite interesting given Accies relegation, or perhaps the U18 standard isn't very good. There are 4 academy levels in Scotland but I've absolutely no idea of the criteria. Elite - which is the table below Performance (Progressive) Level - Ayr United, Dundee, Dunfermline Athletic, Greenock Morton, Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Partick Thistle, Ross County, St Johnstone Performance Level - Livingston only Advanced Youth Level - which we just won The criteria for elite status are quite strict. They take into account facilities (number of pitches is a factor), qualifications of coaching staff, and even things like scouting network/sport scientists/medical staff. Our youth academy from u16s and below moved up the Elite level earlier this year, and from the beginning of next season so will the u18s. It was a lot of work for the club to get it sorted, and big deal when it all got confirmed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the transfer deadline day patter of "ah saw Ronaldo in a black cab at Glasgow Airport telling the driver to head for Cliftonhill" but in May! I suspect in times gone past, in the halcyon pre internet days, you would have been mumbling this stuff into a pint of heavy in the corner of Phase 2, while people try to avoid eye contact. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not actually against this since there’s no way I’d make it up there for a Friday night… having the game on tv would work. But yeah, take your point. We’ll see what happens but looks like DU down for sure. Assuming they’ll be the club that will be going ‘all out’ to return to the Premiership. Would be a good first game, us v them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds are Forever Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 In terms of away crowds it's not really the money spinner that it could have been in previous years. ICT, Arbroath and QP will bring similar supports to Montrose, Alloa etc. If Ross County come down then them too. Dunfermline, Ayr, Raith and Morton will bring your standard Championship away support. Dundee Utd's support will depend whether they are challenging or not. Considering we had Falkirk, Queens and Dunfermline in the league this season it might not be a big increase in away supports overall. If Killie or Partick come/stay down it would certainly help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye right enough that free kick to nobody our home game & similar pass to nobody in the 1-5 drubbing really made me think oh I wish he was still with us 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
