blue manalishi Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Anyone who doesn't use this site wouldn't wouldn't know about anything other than their own club, and despite your misgivings the signing of ex senior players certainly does raise the profile of the juniors, that was proven given the number of times Tam McManus was in the national papers through here. Although McManus's Gartcairn career was relatively short he did give the club loads of positive publicity, which for a new club was a master stroke from the people at Gartcairn.

Gartcairn Army Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Looking from a Gartcairn point of view then T McManus certainly did work out. He scored 3 goals in 4 league games plus many more in friendlies but he also attracted 3 or 4 of our current 1st team. He was also the main reason we sold in excess of 80 season tickets not to mention the training of the kids. If Tam had not been injured he would have scored lots more goals and we would be in the top 3 at least in the league. Off the park and in the media he has given us and continues to give us excellent publicity. Ps a player who has been in the MLS and played and scored against Rangers at Ibrox and Celtic at Parkhead is not a bad guy to have around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I felt that Petta was awful, and deserved to be hooked at half time. He found space well, but gave the ball away repeatedly. I felt sorry for big JC. He pulled off 2 great saves, but his error for the first goal will be remembered. His left foot is a dangerous weapon in the junior game. Don't pass the ball back to his right! He had no chance with the other 2 goals. One was because of a fantastic left footed delivery from the right hand side, the other was a close range finish when the central defenders were posted missing. Burgh fully deserved the win, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Robert Prytz was in a different class to anyone mentioned on this thread. His delivery from free kicks / corners was the most difficult I've ever attempted to defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Race Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Not particularly into these ex pros in the junior grade, would rather see a young u19 player getting thrown into the mix,but hey I will try and be open-minded to the idea, and hopefully the initial buzz puts a few quid onto the gates for the coming weeks, after that these "back page" signings usually fizzle out but if it gives the junior grade a bit of exposure then that's good, and the younger players at these clubs can only learn from a seasoned ex pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtg1971 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Despite being injured Tam was our top goalscorer (including friendlies) when he retired! Of course in the land of Fife thats clearly not good enough! Sheesshh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
