Does anyone think that some of the less fit looking players are looking fit and toned now? Stokes and commons in particular look like the training and diet are really working. The team also were still pressing and pushing forward right till the end yesterday. It's true these things take time and I think we are starting to see the fruits of the players labours now, and they still aren't fully where they will be yet. It's starting to look good I think. A bit of faith from the board by giving the manager a couple of bob to spend on 2/3 fresh faces and the second half of the season could be a belter! Markie

Said as much a few weeks ago Markie think Ed 001 deserves a bit oh credit here bang on about the diets a few months ago and the benefits a wonder if other's share this view from us getting fitter/quicker/stronger a have now noticed the opposition appear now more than ever not to be able to live with us which is the EXACT point 001 was making at the time is this why the opposition are getting players sent off? because it is now happening more and more!

@Jamiebhoy7 Nicely delivered swift boot to the christmas bawbles for ed007 there after months of him on here fighting the managers corner (rofl)

{Ed007's Note - Climb the mountain so you can see the world, not so the world can see you.}

Its getting there. Using Salzburg as an example though we couldn't seem to get near them. The benefits do take months to be reaped. If RD is backed properly in a few windows I think we might be into something good. I. E, challenging for the Europa or going past the last 16 CL.

Hi AH, 007 knows a have his back (sevco page) he like me is an ex boxer, Original OG, muff diver we are only separated by 80 miles lol like me he is no "shrinking violet" where 001 well he is much nicer and as for 002 a woman that never says too much, knows ALL about football and can dig you out a whole legally :-) woman off my dreams lmfao a already asked by the way she is taken :-) ATB JB7

Thought we were excellent today, especially in the first half, some of the movement and passing was a joy to watch, yes we could and should have scored more but on another day we would have got 6 or 7 playing like that . Hope the board back Ronnie and bring in more young players who can play his way . I know its been said on here many tlmes but would start with Armstrong of Dundee united hope we don't miss out like we did with Robertson, who would have fitted our style of play perfectly and would have been a fixture in our team for years to come all for the sum of 2 million. Wonder if his name was robertinio, if he would be playing for us now .

Robertson with Izzy playing ahead of him would have been an incredibly strong left side.

Hi GJ, been saying for a long while now someone on that coaching staff decided to let Robertson go whoever that individual was should be IMO cut loose from the coaching staff, they are there to SPOT talent / nurture individuals if they let him go made a bad call on him who else can they do so with?

If we are going to be that heavily "needy" of the you system in the fact we are now not paying transfers, we need to get it RIGHT!

i don`t drink a lot, however, 1st jan a few years ago went to in-laws, tanned a bottle of malt with a few cans to boot. got home at 2am. went to work at 5am (wtf)done a days work and then headed home. Got in to find my father in fitting a new bath. Noise was brutal, but here`s the kicker was sick in the few hrs I was sleeping and I just turned over and threw up on the wife, she never let's me forget it. lol.

Jamie as much as it's painful to see a player of Robertsons standard to fall through the net, it's unfair to say that. Players develop at different stages. Look at Ian Wright for example. Or various others that only even 'come good' in their late twenties. You never know, perhaps the whole set-up was wrong for the player. Maybe Dundee utd did him more favour than Celtic.

Hello JT, usually I find myself agreeing with you mate however, in Robertson's case he only dropped down to Queens Park for a year where Dundee Utd picked him up and really as soon as he kicked a ball for Utd people were asking how he slipped through the net and he was not exactly at Dundee Utd long before moving on so the talent was there it was suggested that he was "let go" for being to wee! but he is not now exactly the giant now . A take a real interest in our reserves and development squad and have commented on a real few in the past he appears to have been let go to have kept the Twardzik brothers together and they did that for obviously home sick reasons and now as far as I am aware have let one of them go mate! bad judgement mate IMO atb jb7

If we're going to go the whole hog though bud there's a whoke regime needs cut loose IMO.

Isaac Thelin? Not a rumour but wondered if anyone has seen him play? His strike partner at Malmo says he's a better player than JG and should have been promoted to the Swedish squad before JG. Malmo players should be in our price and wage range. Maybe an option if JG doesn't sign? Markie

I think with Scepovic we would not be in the market for another striker.I would hope RD knows the Scandinavian market as well.

Aye Soz bud. I meant to say if we don't get JG as there seems to be a lot of talk of interest from that French mob for him. Markie.

Hopefully got a head start in Scandinavia. RD has said he has all the right contacts. Only seen online footage but a young lad from norway Mohamed Elyounoussi looks the part. His record from the wing is pretty immense too.
