Less of the puns. This thread is supposed to be about Christian Dailly. Let's just keep it on topic, eh?

Couple of questions then. Would Douglas have saved the penalty and would Lockwood off instead of McIntosh made much difference?

Great photos as always, Jim. Particularly like the one with the red card stickin' out the Douglas napper. Oh, and the first one of a Scully save is an absolute beaut

I'm reading great reports about Scully but not having been there did David Cairney and Sekhon have good debuts?

Excellent photos, Tommy, and very much appreciated. Just one question.... what made you think Rab Douglas wasn't happy?

It takes all sorts.

Thought there might be a direct bus from Stonehaven but doesn't appear to be. I see Aberdeen are at home to Motherwell that day. Don't know how many 'Well fans travel these days.

Sorry, I know and realise all that but I just think the offer this time is a bit vague. Hospitality is as often as not taken up by folk on the fringes of our support so I feel it's best to spell out what you're getting for your dosh.

If recent hospitality initiatives are anything to go by I assume it will be a decent offer. Feel tho' it could be better phrased. Just what do you get for your £36?

Certainly not my opinion but I suppose your argument is leaving it open for a retort of that could be one reason why the JH Stand is 2/3 empty. Just guesswork but I'd imagine the cost of a regular clean up would way exceed any direct turnover loss due to the condition of the seats. However not everything can be be reduced to cost efficiency and even if funds would be commercially better spent elsewhere (eg player budget) there has to be a bottom (npi) line below which is unacceptable. I'd suggest unclean and/or faulty seating would fall below that line.

Hey, Lost Doo, you've gotta cheek to comment!

Eh? It's the SFA we're talking about here. How would you like to organise a slap up luncheon within a week?

Could be if they get re-instated they might want to switch tie to another ground? Cove Rangers perhaps?

Bean weighting four sew long to sea yew do sumthing like that.

So so far we could be playing Spartans but the game could be switched to a Sunday or we could be playing Coulter? Oh, and G Sus could be getting sued by the SFA for reproducing the Cup fixtures

Don't forget tho' Dundee will probably go the extra yard and house us* in the bendy stand. For the extra two quid you get a restricted view and souvenir sore neck to remind you of your visit. *I say us but I've no intention of going. Apart from our last visit there this will be the first Jags game I'll have missed since February.

There's a shortfall between his current pay and what may well have to be offered. Perhaps something like this is the sort of thing a Jags Trust/Supporters association should be looking at. Naturally need the fundraisers in place first of all. Just my opinion but something ringfenced where funds go direct to the manager would hold greater appeal than simply going into the Club kitty.

What claim? All I'm saying is if we produce a player thru our system it's easier to tie the lad to a contract than if we bring in a player from elsewhere. I'd have thought that was fairly obvious.

Agreed. At the time I thought Fox was just tempting Higginthingy and he'd move over in time. I wouldn't have faulted Fox if the ball had gone in the other corner. We had a bit of height in the wall so it would have taken an exceptional free kick to score.

I mind that Stewart & Balatoni, though both not Jags players at that particular time, turned up at the Firhill Cup day. Paul Cairney reffed a good few of the games.

For those that look at Sinclair, O'Donnell and Elliot and say "why the bother of raising our own youngsters" it's got to be noted that imported young players are far harder to tie down on contract. It's likely then if we produce a kid of equivalent talent that we'll be able to receive a greater return as in a subsequent transfer fee.

Without doubt that's the SFL's field of expertise. Given a considerable proportion of their support lives outside Dingwall many County fans will have difficulty getting to the game as well. New Year and Boxing Day fixtures should be for derby games only. By playing Challenge Cup games midweek at least a couple of Saturday's could have been freed up.

Needn't have bothered. Just claim it was a gypsy spell. Sorry about that, coat's on
