Not likely to be happening in the foreseeable future -- think you can relax on this one Surface Agent

Absolutely. Saw him for a chat at the Edinburgh City game over lunch and he looked so much happier in his role at Edinburgh City than when coping with the considerable stresses of management. All best wishes for a speedy recovery. By staying in post during early 2013, he was absolutely central to saving DAFC. It would have been very tricky had he walked in February or March 2013 when his salary was being delayed and not paid in full. Old School.

I would play 4-5-1 -- with Coley on the left and Dow on the right. Beadling and Paton as defensive midfielders. Turner supporting Nisbet up front. I assume that they may have to find a replacement for Murray? One from Morrison, Lang or Devine.

Thought their game plan was highly effective, and more suited to the high bounce on the pitch. Two on both of our wide players. Muscled us out of the centre of midfield very often. Thought it was a 0-0, but they took the chance well --Danny Handling has a bit of class about him. Just a break of the ball really. We were effectively stifled in midfield. Our two chances came from moments of individual skill, but their keeper did well to parry them.

Fairly clearly aimed at Hibernian pockets -- all going into the war-chest. Hoping for queues on bridge as masses of Hibees head to Fife to see their team play on first Saturday in July -- and come back miserable (hopefully).

Tough start , but if we can get the team bedded down and playing well together in July , we could give the big spenders of the league a wee game in August. The two Dundee clubs will have the two biggest playing budgets in the League by a fair margin.

I have to agree with Secure Par -- rather like the Home kit, but I prefer a classic blue or red based kit for the away top. Of course, I'm really a classic 60's candy stripe fan -- but I guess you can't have it every year. Sponsored Owen Coyle when there was a previous black iteration. That shirt sadly died after our son wore it in hundreds of five-a-side games all over Glasgow for years. That realisation makes me feel very old indeed.

But on the upside Keyser -- my son and daughter in law have just bought a Guest House in the middle of Inverness. I can ask them to give you a discount for walking on the pitch in 2013 -- above and beyond etc etc.
