Will Ovenstone do a job at Ochilview?

Has he not got a bitching long throw on him or is that someone else?

Ovenstone and Fraser gone

Kilgannon resigned! I know Dick had him at Partick, but it certainly seems their fans have a similar opinion of him as most Forfar, and indeed Raith fans do.

At least Elliot is staying, Ovy will be a huge miss though and we badly need another centre back now

He will do a good job I'd imagine. A very imposing player who will win the majority of headers, maybe a little slow though but still a very good defender.

Aye he has been known to launch a few throws into the box, can't remember any specific goals coming from that but there might of been.

Will also score goals for you, in fact he was, rather embarassingly, our top goalscorer with 4 which was a decent return considering how many goals we scored overall.

Sean Kilgannon signed up for another year!

I always liked John Arne Ovenstone for the Wasps. One drawback is his very dodgy distribution but he is strong in the air, good tackler and is a threat from set pieces at the other end. Plus the aforementioned long throws are another useful attacking option. Good luck to the big man, he always gives 100%.

He aint the only one commiting suicide so am i.

Kilgannon is the worst player i have seen at station park since the 70s side that was bottom of the league.

He is indeed, and I think I speak for what Loons are left by saying "on yer way"

Maybe a silly question with it being a Dick Campbell team, but I assume Forfar are intending to bypass the midfield next season?

The thought of that pair in the same midfield is quite horrific.

It wasnt the best, but the Forwards are where we "hoored" up last year!

He wasn't injury prone as such, but he was playing very well until he was out for a couple of months and didn't look the same player when he came back.

Still an Albion legend though, for his tough tackling and for wearing a tweed jacket at the player of the year dance!

[55022]

If we are to bypass midfield he had better get some good strikers in as what we have arent that good.

I was going to ask the same question

[MIFTHEBINO]

John Fraser is a great signing for the Smokies IMO and I would have liked to see him back at the Binos, but we have Murphy who will fill that role next season!
He is hard as nails on the park and a gentleman off it.

[Captain Kerthorse]

Concur with Mif - John was a top bloke during his time at the staish and I for one wish him well on his new life in the fishing fleet.

[mo83]

scott walker from brechin city to be signing for you boys?heard it here first

[dave_binos]

John Fraser is a cracking signing for you guys. Before his injury he was a very good defensive midfielder for us. Was a shame he couldn't regain his place. He probably would of done far better in the 1st for us than a lot of a shit we had on display last season.

[TheBanter]

Darren Brady is an absoulte shoe-in to sign for the Loons after being released by County...the Bunnet and his lovechild together once again.

Mark my words!

Campbell is a big fan of Walker and even though he is probably our 3rd choice centre back at the moment, he could easily do a job in the 2nd division. Plus I don't think Forfar could afford his wages, we've been close to releasing him before because of the money he's on.

If that actually happens (and it probably will) I'd advise Forfar fans to give up now. Kilgannon, Winter and Brady in the same midfield! *shudders*

Who's the right winger?
