  1. 1350 from a crowd of just over 2400....
  2. Agree with all of that. Campbell is a born leader and a very good footballer. The only thing that might hold him back from the very top level is his athleticism. He is probably one of the fittest guys at the club but he is just a little short of real pace for me to cut it in say the EPL. Cant wait to see a fit Turnbull and Polworth in same team providing passes for Long. We could tear a few teams apart.
  3. I like Long. He makes intelligent runs and took the second goal very well. But Campbell was our MoM tonight. He was the one digging in 2nd half when we were under pressure. His drive and determination are incredible. Leads by example.
  4. I dont think anyone is debating the financial sense in a young player moving on. Its whether you will develop better/more quickly as a footballer getting first team games under your belt rather than disappearing into someones development squad and hoping you can swim to the top. Young players like McKinstrey are different in that they moved before they were ready for first team football, so they were changing one youth set up for another. The fact that the majority of our fans never saw him play makes it natural that there isnt the same level of feeling towards him that there were about others. Conversely, you could also argue that someone like Cadden maybe stayed a season too long as his development had flatlined a little with us. Its a difficult balance to strike. Regardless of what happens, its nice to see the produce of our youth system getting plenty first team exposure. Long may it continue.
  5. Maybe have a few "trialists" for a week to see what they have to offer?
  6. It would seem crazy that Oxford would refuse to pay £600k for Cadden then 6 months later be willing to pay £1m for him. However, if they did, you would think it would strengthen the clubs position in chasing Columbus for the money due to us. Be interesting to see how this pans out.
  7. I have absolutely no issue with players doing whats best for themselves. We would all do the same. But sometimes being patient and not taking the first offer that comes your way can be more fruitful in the longer term. Look at John McGinn or even Andy Robertson. Moved to clubs in Scotland where they could develop and would get guaranteed first team games. Within 2-3 seasons they were in the Premiership earning megabucks. By all accounts James has the talent. It would be fantastic if he could develop and emulate those names.
  8. If money is your only goal then moving to the Championship is a no brainer. However, Lee Erwin is a great example of a boy that went too early and didnt develop as he might have. Get first team games under your belt and move as a first team pick. The money will always follow.
  9. Would be better staying and getting more first team football under his belt before he moves on. Wouldnt benefit him or the club to move too early. I cant see Bristol City throwing silly money at us either. More likely buying him as a development player.

  11. I think we should sign Tanner on a 1 game loan for the Dundee game!
  12. Such a frustrating performance and result. Sitting 4 points clear in 3rd going into the break would have been incredible. Should have been all the motivation the players needed. Slightly concerned that in games that teams are getting the better of us, we rarely turn it around tactically. The substitutions yesterday were baffling. Still, would have bitten your hand off for tgis position at the start of the season and would have been happy with 5 points from 9 on this run, so it would be churlish to complain to much. The good thing is that despite our current position we know there is still plenty of room for improvement. Here's hoping for a good window and the return of David Turnbull over the winter break!
  13. My location is showing outwith the UK so not sure why picture isnt working. Oh well. At least we are winning!
  14. Tried that but just gives me the commentary. Big PLAY button?
  15. If you are watching from outside UK how to you get pictures to come up. Currently in Norway and only getting sound....
  16. That was a seperate but no less embarassing incident for the stewards..
  17. As a support we will undoubtedly be criticised by the events in the aftermath of the 2nd goal where a significant number of fans spilled onto the pitch. Without looking to justify or minimise it, it really was just a moment of euphoric exhuberance involving our players and fans after winning the game in the dying seconds. No one got hurt, nothing got damaged, but ultimately you cant really be doing that and not expect there to be some fall out. As for events after the final whistle, that was a different matter entirely. The girl from our media team was justifiably trying to film our fans celebrations at the end and for some reason the stewards were trying to stop her. She gamefully carried on causing 2 of the stewards to physically man handle her out of the way. This resulted in one of our fans (male, but not a daft wee boy) to try and intervene and protect her. He was thereafter dragged to the ground by several stewards causing Alan Burrows to rush across to intervene. It was all totally unecessary as all the fans were safely back in the stand long before that and most were heading out towards their buses. I would hope the club will discuss and address this with County, although we will be on a fairly weak footing given the pitch incursion.
  18. I take it as a back handed compliment that they can actually be bothered talking about us in respect of a game they were'nt even playing in! Given the utter victim/seige mentality they now display as a support its rather ironic that its they who now look and sound like Celtic!
  19. Deco by a country mile. Simply magnificent from start to finish
  20. A very good performance today. Dominated possession of the ball but squandered a lot of chances in the first half and when they scored with their only shot on target, you could have been forgiven for thinking that it was going to be one of those days. Credit to the team in the 2nd half. They remained patient and kept playing their football. No doubt the red card was the turning point and helped us but no one could argue we had not been the better team up until that point. McIvers goal is a thing of beauty. A slow motion moment that will live long in the memory. The scenes at Big Decos winner in injury time were magnificent. All in all, a very decent days work. Left Ayrshire at 0750hrs this morning in the dark. At the time of typing it is 1908 and we are somewhere between Pitlochry and Perth. One of those rare occasions where it was worth every minute! Get those passports looked out folks!
  21. Not really sure what to make of your response. The first part pretty much paraphrases the point I was making. The second point is not actually what I said. Clearly, the fact that Seedord IS in fact a footballer, would indicate that he has the desire to be one. The point was regarding his body language and it still stands.
  22. Seedorf is a hugely frustrating figure. He is clearly lightning fast and not without some ability. However..... His game intelligence is really poor and his body language at times would have you question whether he actually has any real desire to be a footballer. He seems to lack heart and his tracking back is at times non existent. Im hoping that Robbo and the backroom team can coach some of this into him. He is still young enough to learn. However, I had hoped to see more improvement by now. There is definitely a player in there. Whether we will see him or not remains to be seen.
  23. 40 points this side of New Year would be a phenomenal return. If we replicate our form in the 2nd half of the season we will comfortably beat our highest points total that we acheived under McCall. On our current budget that is outstanding.
  24. He was one of the ones missing on Saturday. I concur it would be nice if he doesnt play. Always seems to play well against us. However, Lee Erwin is his replacement so we can start the former player trope instead!
