  1. A few interesting comments by Del tonight at the Q and A.

    We would be mad NOT to look at potential players in Scotland but are looking further afield as well (mentioned Scandinavia) plus he said we would do business 'the right way' so we can assume there would be no tapping up on our part (nice to hear).

    The last thing which may be relevant was that he would be after 2 or 3 players in January.

    Read into that what you will. All in all, Del was very forthright and genuinely amusing even commenting on his 'Del boy' tag we have given him adding that we already have uncle Albert (Adomah) but we won't be signing Trotter from Millwall.

    Loads of stuff about the new stadium and the summer but nothing that's really relevant to your good selves.

    I asked him about Davidson afterwards but he just smiled and said something that sounded like 'nae to tell' but I didn't have a translator at hand.

    Nice bloke!

    EDIT: I forgot one comment, 'Bristol's a lovely place, almost as nice as Scotland'.

    Sorry!!? "we have given him" ?????

  2. Not read the full thread so dare i say it....this season has one key likeness to our best year in the SPL and that is the change of manager early doors and that added impetus that brings. There is no reason we shouldnt be aiming high and going for Europe. Remember the new manager will have his eye on one or two that he can bring in to strengthen even further so lets look up the way with optimism instead of backwards?

  3. Totally swayed for the Main stand now after blueheaven's post and it was in no way facetious! :razz:

    Love the idea of a legends match as well.

    As long as we dont just let him drift off and dont show our appreciation then whatever happens im all for it!!

  4. Has Geoff Brown even ever been in the East stand?

    I would suggest so, stop being such a t***! Just think it would be a good thing for the fans to push for. East or West doesnt really matter. Suggested the East as thats where the majority sit!?

  5. has to be one of these 4... :

    1) liam craig's absolute beezer at dunfermline in '07 to send us top of the league (position we stayed for the whole season)

    2) brechin away last year in the scottish cup.

    3) dave mackay's goal at parkhead. never celebrated a goal like that before... apart from when we went 1-0 up against rangers in the scottish cup semi-final, but that wasn't mcinnes era, was it?

    4) the 1-0 win at dens park in 2008 that all but clinched our promotion.

    Yep sure it was under McInnes, lost on pens? Nacho Novo was a male member (SHOCK!!)

  6. Got to be Gary Mac for me. Will have some great contacts and will gain the respect of the dressing room straight away. I think this will be vital in the new manager as i cant see the likes of Jody, Sandaza, Sheridan etc being happy with the likes of Gary Bollan!?

    He started to do a good job at Villa at the end of last season so i think deserves a chance as his own man.

    We need either a big name (for us) or someone promoted from within. I would probably be happy with Nick Dasovic though.
