Father Barrys Sign (Top Half) Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 The draw is excellent. Not been to Tannadice since 2000. Saturday game too, messy messy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KierenAAFC Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 When I was predicting who would be released & retained in the summer, I had him down to go. He should be a 1st choice somewhere. He's a decent keeper just not Parrys standard. All the best to him & with Andy Wilson there I'm not too worried! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeodhasXD Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) Not to be rude to Craig, who's been a good servant, it will free up a wage in a position we have a future prospect in already. Hopefully means we could get another signing in the door in the next couple weeks. Edited August 21, 2017 by LeodhasXD 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMartyn86 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 He must have something lined up as he has been happy to be back up for years. East Fife bound maybe? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Craig McDowall was always excellent cover for Scott Bain and Neil Parry. I thought he was better than John Gibson in the era when they were battling for the jersey. He played in victories over Rangers and Hibs and was unbeaten as Alloa keeper in the 2 games he played at Ibrox. That isn't too bad at all . Good luck to him, hope he gets a regular game somewhere and does well. Good chance for Andrew Wilson now to continue his development. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkirkwasp Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 He must have something lined up as he has been happy to be back up for years. East Fife bound maybe? Pretty sure they already have to very able goalkeepers.As previously said, not too bothered if andy steps in like he did last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that would be a bonus , but i hope if it does happen jim signs someone who will make an impact at the club as the other new signings he made are to be honest "underwhelming" . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Hmm, balls. Thought we were well covered in goal, but it'll be worrying if Parry takes an injury now. Folk who've seen the development team lately will know more, but Andy Wilson hasn't looked ready for the first team on the few occasions I've seen him. Hopefully McD has something to go to this time. He looked like he'd improved since last time round, but still needs to work on handling set pieces. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Barrys Sign (Top Half) Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Wilson did fine in his one first team outing last season at Cliftonhill. Good chance for him to step up, although sad to see McD go. As Waspie says played in some big games for Alloa over the years, fine backup and a decent guy. I'm more concerned about the lack of shirt sponsor, and bare advertising boards. Crowds are also quite low in terms of home support. Even the carrot of a decent Hibs side didn't pull in numbers to any great degree. I believe some track side stuff is pending. Hopefully this will pick up, as sponsorship is vital to the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this will pick up, as sponsorship is vital to the club. Are the sponsorless shirts available to buy? I quite like the old school feel, and would gladly buy one to support the club. Although I do hope we find a sponsor soon. We must be the only SPFL team not to have a shirt sponsor. Sad to see McDowell go, but if he can find regular first team football, then great for him. Can't imagine he would have left without something lined up, as surely it's better to be on the bench with a chance of playing if Parry gets injured than not playing at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Must admit, I'd been wondering about the hoardings. Glad to read they aren't empty due to lack of interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Barrys Sign (Top Half) Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I still heard they're short, and also if you look in programme, slower uptake on the likes of player sponsorship and hospitality bookings. Hopefully it picks up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate's got me this seasons Jersey for my birthday - no sponsor. I think they went straight to the supplier though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Hmm...apparently he works at a hair transplant company during the week. Poor baldy Longworth just has nae luck. He scored eighteen in thirty-two for Airdrie. You would not say no, even at 34. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
