Sting777 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Clear out was needed, clear out achieved. Biggest disappointment for me is that McLaughlin was freed. Have seen a lot of the development squad and the boy has an eye for goal and has never been given a chance. He wouldn't command a big wage and I reckon he was due another year to see if he could kick on. Of the rest, at a push I would have kept Keown and Storey (only if he was played as a striker) Booth and Lawless look like they have agreed options with other clubs, so good luck to them. Glad to se the rest go, especially Scully, Fraser and Dumbaya. Going to be an interesting few weeks in the transfer market, to say the least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve a feeling that McLaughlin was another Chris Duggan or Kevin Nisbet who’ll absolutely pish the development league but won’t ever make the step up to top end championship/bottom end premiership level. Good luck to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 'N Yellow Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Was surprised at McLaughlin as well. Think he was one of the top scorers in the dev league this year, he’s only 19 and could have been given a chance in the championship. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armand 2 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Very glad the club made a point of digging out Edwards. Before folk respond to his inevitable grovelling social media post, they should consider the speed at which he turned his back on the club and fans that he'll no doubt shower with praise. Very much in the Kenny Milne Premier League of c***s for me. On the most part, I agree wholeheartedly with the release list. Disappointed to see Lamont and McLaughlin leave though - I think both will go on to have decent enough careers. I think it's a sad end for Osman but he's not helped himself one iota. The #itsnoteasy malarkey has been an easy stick to beat him with but the fact remains that he's seemed more concerned with advancing his own interests than performing his duties at club captain. Nonetheless, he was a very good player for us for a number of seasons and that shouldn't be lost in amongst a raft of cheap snap-backs. As others have said, no contract would have been offered to Lawless as he indicated he would be leaving. He's also been a very good player for us and one that I'm glad we won't have to face next season; I think some folk might only realise what a good player he is until he's on the other side. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to him. With the goals he has scored, the fact that he isn't even 20 yet and most importantly he wouldnt command a huge wage, means to me he was worth another year and giving him a slot on the bench to see what he could do in the Championship. Have a feeling he might be lining up against us next season! Edited May 26, 2018 by Sting777 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 13 hours ago, Pie Of The Month said: They deserve every last bit of abuse coming their way. c***s like Edwards think that saying they are gutted on twitter before fucking off to find another club absolves them of blame and the tens of people who reply to their every tweet all season going 'you were great, unlucky today. One team in Glasgow *40 Belgian flags*' are even worse. The players involved probably don't deserve any sympathy but only an absolute moron/coward would actively seek them out via social media. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Edwards has a specific twitter set up for his professional life because he has a massively inflated sense of his own self worth. It's hardly tracking someone down to their private facebook account to reply to family pictures calling him a c**t to call him out by saying he's shite when for the umpteenth time this season he's been terrible and posts the same inane shite all footballers do about how great the fans were and he'll go again next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Lanarkshire Jag Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 16 hours ago, Flashman said: Surely now the season us over the club can give some clarity on what is happening with Banzo and his injury? Stuart Bannigan played about 65 minutes in the last Development League match of the season and seemed to come through it without any problems. I think he's also played in another two bounce games since before the development squad got informed of their release. He was in the squad for the Livingston match on Sunday but didn't make the final cut of 18, which is also encouraging. He needs to come back flying in pre-season but I wouldn't put it past him. 2 hours ago, Sting777 said: Biggest disappointment for me is that McLaughlin was freed. Have seen a lot of the development squad and the boy has an eye for goal and has never been given a chance. McLaughlin has a great knack for being in the right place at the right time and it's true that he bagged a lot at Development League level. When he went out on loan at Stirling Albion, however, he didn't really make an impact for them. I think he is a technically good footballer but don't really think he'd make an impact in the Championship at this time. 2 hours ago, Armand 2 said: Disappointed to see Lamont and McLaughlin leave though - I think both will go on to have decent enough careers. I've never really understood Lamont as a footballer. He started as a winger before going on to make himself a deep lying playmaker. I think he'll go to Clyde and win the league with them next season. 10 minutes ago, Firhill_Basin said: Did the club not let him know and he only found out through the article on the website?

Sting777 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 To be fair, if the first thing he knew about his release was via the website statement, that is very, very poor. Have never rated him, glad to see him gone, but he does deserve better than that. In reality we should have shipped him out to the Pars after his loan spell there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never really fancied him as a winger but thought he looked promising in a more central position. Agree that he'll likely do well at Clyde, should he end up there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
