In truth my point I was making was aimed more at Robertson. Cairney brings more than enough to the table to justify selection but I don't feel there's room for two players in our midfield so slow of pace.

I can understand why Bannigan wasn't on the bench today (three subs who can easily play in more than one position plus the new lad). My concern would be more centred on the starting midfield and I really feel Stuart's inclusion in place of Robertson would have given us if not stronger a more balanced midfield unit.

I'll stay out the Flannigan debate apart from saying he wasn't the worst tho' I was surprised he played the ninety minutes. More crucial imo was the whole midfield watching the game pass them by for most of the first half. Cairney came on to a game in the second half and he seems to be getting his stamina back but good game or not his total lack of pace is a worry. I'm not sure we can field both Robertson and Cairney in the same midfield without going on the back foot.

Most definitely. It's probably one of the main reasons folk go there. Iirc there's a good bit of segregation away from the bar where you need to go but it's not like you're tucked away in a corner or anything like that.

No, he shouldn't.

What if someone in Munns held them back for a game of dommies?

The icing on the cake as far as I'm concerned .

Right sided, fast, can cross a ball and scores goals. Sounds uncannily to me like a clone of Big Martin.

It's possible there is a Blyth connection to this. The Spartans manager had only just moved from Whitley Bay. Perhaps he recommended the lad to Jackie or the Jags to the lad?

Agree tho' Burns is a different type of player. Had Kieran not had his injury he might have been impressing more but imo he appears to have lost a yard of pace but can hopefully get that back. Stenny look quite a professional outfit and have a handful of experienced players. Hopefully Shaun will get plenty of games.

Sounds like he's right sided so he'll offer us something different. The lad's evidently got real pace as has Sinclair down the left side. Does a twenty year old right midfielder turned striker with pace ring any bells? He's bound to be better than a certain gentleman we got on loan from across the river a few seasons back. Has to be

Not a bad name for a real ale

Wasn't just the football scores. I can mind the fella going round the ground with the result of the Grand National (winner & the 3 runners up) on his board. Don't know if this was done at every ground or not.

I did wonder what all the urgency was with yon online catering questionnaire. I'm willing to bet a fair amount of dosh that survey and this potential visit are not unrelated. I'm sure we can live with an empty main stand, an unsightly bing, a poor display on the pitch, useless referees not consulting linesmen etc but I doubt we'd ever live down the embarrassment of a pastry collapse from a half heated pie. edited to add... the Club would be well advised to spell out the meaning behind Kids Go Free. Don't want them thinking it's some sort of adoption thingy.

One of those surreal moments HERE

Beat me to it. Ritchie was the best exponent of the final ball I've seen play in a Jags top.

S & G mainly. Was going to say I might go down to the Woodside if there's a match on the telly but tbh I've lost a lot of interest in watching premiership/SPL games so I'll no doubt stay put.

I was waiting for that one to come up edited to add.... another of my favourites was when we hacked into the ICT website, which for some reason allowed repeat voting and had the poll iirc up to 85% against ICT accepting promotion.

Anyone think there's any merit to kicking off games at 2pm on Saturdays during winter months?

Mention of the green Citizen has got me wondering if Wee Bobby Maitland is still on the go. Life long Jags fan and rarely away from Firhill since his retirement, Bobby worked for the Express as a sports writer in the 70s and 80s after the Citizen shut down. Haven't seen Bobby for a good while. Anyone got any info?

Think if I won multi millions on the lottery I'd let it slip I was a Dundee fan. Just for the fun of it.

Martin was ever the gentleman with me. On the contrary this McManus man methinks is rather a cheeky chappie.

that's uncanny. Almost word for word what a few of our first team players told me.

Hard not to agree but if there's a way to make things worse you can bet the SFL will find it.
