    Darren you mention Keith Watson in your post, it was a travesty we ever got rid for Ryan McGowan, which I never understood. Watson now on loan at Hartlepool, why did we not take him back. As for Scobbie never rated him and always injured and definitely no pace!

    Don't write off Tam just because he got injured for goodness sake
    He'll be a very important back fourer when he returns, good signing.

    I haven't written off Tam because he is injured, I just don't think he is good enough and have never really rated him. However that said if he dovetails into the side in some capacity, that is winning then fine, credit due if it happens!

    i loved Watson he was my fave player at the time. liked a goal in a big game and was solid. A consistent performer. capable of the silly moments but everyone is. dont think watson and jackie got on or had a fallen out.

    in the window where we lost gms and armstrong you could argue that an even bigger loss was letting watson and townsend go and replacing them with dixon and mcgowan. at the time looked good replacements but obviously having hindsight it totally disrupted the team.

    Scobbie will be solid for us but dont know if he will be suited for LB. might struggle there. certainly need his leadership just now.

    i saw fyvie was captain yesterday????? the boy who didnt know if he wanted to be here during the summer??? why wasnt quinn/edge/mcdonald skipper someone whos more experienced than fyvie??

    Thing is, im not 100% sure that is the right story in Fyvies case. Seems awfy fishy that Bell departed around the time that Fyvie all of a sudden made his mind up!

    Aside from that, i think the whole captain thing is just another shambles with Flood as club captain and a long list of match day captains to deputize for him. Better than having the keeper as captain last season.
