Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 That free-kick and celebration from Paddy The man is an absolute god. A really, really sound god. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Parr Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Playing in the away team and watching Paddy Flannery loft in outrageous efforts from all angles is the definition of bittersweet. That free kick is filth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 There's a guy on the Thistle thread saying that injuries are making it unlikely that they'll loan out Penrice, which would be a shame, and leaves us with a big gap at LB. Be interesting to see Christopher 'Boomer' McLaughlin tested a bit more defensively tonight. McIlduff was there on Saturday too, but was in trainers, so I'm assuming he's picked up a knock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebonce Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) McLaughlin has all the technical ability to be a very good left-back at Championship level. He lacks a bit of height and pace to hit the ground running in the Premiership, which I think is the reason why he was let go, but with 100+ games he could step up. I think he was generally good for Forfar, he made the odd concentration error that defenders in their early twenties tend to do. I don't think they always saw the best of him because they played with a really good winger in front of him and he didn't overlap as much. He needs to do more to stop crosses getting in and tucking in to the left-centre-back at the right time but he'll get better at that with experience at a good level. I don't think he has an attitude problem like what has been hinted at. From watching him a lot close up in the u20s he is a sore loser and gets a wee bit petulant with if he isn't playing well - I reckon he probably thought he should have been in the first team and was almost trying too hard. He does need to grow out of that but he's a good team player on the whole and he always takes responsibility. He was the standout player in the best u20s team in the country, so getting released probably means he is learning that it doesn't always come easy. I like him a lot, I hope he signs for you and that he shows his potential. Edited July 11, 2017 by bunglebonce 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Penrice isn't coming I suggest we give a deal to Chris and instead of getting two loans in just get Sam Stanton. 1 hour ago, Distant Doonhamer said: That looks like a great day.

I don't have an official figure yet but we're looking at around £5K raised from this event alone, with our comedy night on top of that it's been a truly excellent effort, Sons fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 That looks like a great day. We surely need a list of which players are regular contributors on here All I'm going to say is that when I was allowed full control we went from 3-0 down to salvaging a 3-3 draw. If it goes tits up with Naysmith you know where I am.And Moonster, don't be so hard on yourself, I wont stand for such negative vibes emitting from my dressing room. 20 laps for that ya wee bawbag. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played left-mid in the few appearances he had for the first team. I don't think the manager trusted him enough to play in a back four (that's as much a reflection of the manager than as a player, because the system he used was strictly man-for-man across the park and it doesn't allow for the full-backs to be beaten too readily).

We did this twice a few years ago (must have been about 2011 or 2012 the last time when fans bid for shirts and a couple of "legends" acted as managers. It was good fun (I was there but didn't play) but I don't recall the standard of football being as good as we saw there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
