Sweet Pete Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Together with another regular on here I was a Boardroom invitee that night and I seem to recall an act of grand larceny which had Paul Martin incandescent. Good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Barr rarely applauded the crowd after a game, and more or less blanked the fans whilst running onto the park. That always annoyed me You sound like that wummin who said to Ian Murray "I'm part of a group who are notorious for giving incredible support. If we sing your name, will you wave to us?". The guy was probably just focused on his job. He was a good player for Dumbarton. Who gives a shiny shite if he waves to the crowd or not? Wind your neck in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Stevie was picking his captain based on his ability to wave at the fans, I'd be worried. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donald Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Throughout our time in this league we've consistently shown the resolve required to pick ourselves up and escape from tough situations. During this time we've often had a non-demonstrative captain on the park. This leads me to suspect that it doesnae matter how visibly wired up the captain is.Barr played 70-odd games as we stayed up twice under his captaincy. He was evidently an effective leader. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that Stevie reckons he'll bring in a few more trialists for the Bankies game. Hopefully it's not another total waste of time like last year, where we field 9 unknowns and a couple of fringe players. I'd love to see us going full on, even if it was just for 45 minutes. Suspect all four long-term trialists (Boomer, McIlduff, Allan and Hill) will all start, and probably get the 90 as it's his last chance to see them. I don't think that seriously weakens us much anyway. David Wilson strikes me as the sort of guy who needs gametime, Prior alongside him is another who can only benefit from a sizeable chunk of gametime too. I don't see any need to rest Scott Gallacher, resting one of Mango or Dowie (or giving them a half each) would probably make sense, unless we need someone at right-back if Smith is still out. Nade looked in fantastic shape, but two games in a week would be pushing it for him imo. I'd far rather test Allan for the 90, and keep the Prince fresh to put Ayr back in their box on Tuesday. Something like this would probably be a decent combination of first team guys who would benefit and trialists: Scott Gallacher New Trialist Andy Dowie Dougie Hill Aidan McIlduff Chris Johnston Kyle Prior David Wilson Chris McLaughlin Jordan Allan Calum Gallagher 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loans are allowed (see Robbie Mutch at Arbroath v Dundee United last year) unless something has changed this season, but aye, tomorrow is our last opportunity to play the trialists in an actual game. 18 hours ago, lorenzo71 said: We potentially have a numbers problem vs AYR.Can trialists play in the LC?I dont think that they can.So what options are left?emergency loans?? I don't think we need an emergency loan at this stage in the season, especially when the loan market is completely open, and we can sign a player permanently on a short-term contract if needs must (Jamie Barclay last year for example). I'm actually totally relaxed about it, which is unusual. I've got a gut feeling we'll have a couple of players in by then, and Stevie's tone has been far more reassuring than it was last year. Our squad at the moment also looks a lot stronger than it did for the Forfar 2-2 game in the Betfred a year ago: Mark Brown Craig Pettigrew Gregor Buchanan Frazer Wright Mark Docherty Garry Fleming David Smith Ryan Stevenson Grant Gallagher Andy Stirling Robert Thomson Subs: Jamie Barclay, Donald McCallum, Ryan Clark, Amadou Kassarate, Josh Todd (who signed that morning) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't sign a player on a short term contract. There's no such thing. Minimum contract length is to the start of the next window so anyone signed right now needs to be contracted to 1st January. Of course, you can mutually agree to early terminate such a contract as long as it's lasted at least 28 days, or you could contract that after 28 days there is no longer any requirement to work and no payment made but he'd be prevented from playing elsewhere under the latter arrangement. I can't see why anyone who is looking for a league level club would agree to it though because with the two clubs a season rule in place it would be hugely restrictive for them. 20 minutes ago, The Moonster said: I had actually heard that loans weren't able to play as well. 18 minutes ago, Sonsteam of 08 said: Only one man can save us now, @Skyline Drifter Seems like a bit of an odd rule to introduce. Then again this is Scottish football, so who knows. Why wouldn't loans be able to play? Clearly they can provided the lending club lodged written permission with the League. Trialists can't play though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
