I'm pretty tempted to go to the Arbroath v Accrington game.

There's quite a few Jags nipping along to say a proper farewell to King Kenny Arthur. And you've got the added bonus of being able to say that you've seen Accrington Stanley.

Who are they?

Exactly!

Early candidate for 'most hideous home top of the year' is Forres Mechanics!

Is Deveronvale v Deveronside some sort of derby?

Best choice I feel, of all the candidates he was the only one who can be called an automatic selection.

Ach bollocks, De Vries is away to Wales, joining Mason in the ever-growing list of defectors who are actually good. We're good for enxt season though, Greg Paterson has signed a new contract...

That's the age old problem though - get relegated and be prepared to have the best bits of your team ripped from you. When we went down three years back, we lost James Grady (best striker) and David Rowson (best midfielder, could yet be coming back), and fell to bits the season after. Having said that Kenny is a very good manager, but don't expect too much, because this league is murdur........

i've been hearing about this as well. doesn't seem like the most logical of purchases to me, he's very similar to rooney in how and where he plays on the pitch. surely utd would have more use for an out and out striker/poacher in the mold of Van Nistlerooy or eto?

I'm much more excited about the prospect of seeing Torres in a liverpool shirt I have to say

The Ex-Don? He still exists as a footballer? Where is he playing just now? What a shit career (unless he's actually had a successful career in Europe that I've missed?).

De Vries was a good keeper for Pars apart from that blunder that basically put the nail in the coffin if I remember right.

I hate the close season when there's no Euro Champs or WC, reduced to talking about David Rowson and Dunfermline goalkeepers

Released by Darlington at the end of last season, apparently he wants a move back north and he's joined us for pre-season training. I think he'd be a good signing, we didn't realise how good he was until he'd gone....
