Stenhousemuir -vs- Stirling Albion
beaver1 replied to Francesc Fabregas's topic in Scottish League 2 General Chatter
I wouldn't get rid of Swift but there are enough question marks about the season so far. The goalie situation is a disaster and yes he signed them both but I presume it was on the premise that Smith would come back as 1st choice. We can't wait any longer and a decent keeper is a must. Re Crighton, you have to look at the goals we are conceding and considering he is supposed to be the experienced head, holding things together, then you've got to say it hasn't been a success. Corbett and Jamieson at centre half sounds like a good shout to me. Can't be any worse can it? It's such a strange situation to be in. We can still easily make top 4 in which case you would have to say that it has been a success but by the same token, I'm still looking over my shoulder. We could easily go on the same sort of run Stirling have just endured. Albion Rovers next. Joy. -
Stenhousemuir -vs- Stranraer
beaver1 replied to Francesc Fabregas's topic in Scottish League 2 General Chatter
The 1st was worse than the 2nd. At least the 2nd had a bit of pace on it but what was he doing for the first goal? To be fair, not sure there was much he could do with the 3rd (looking at you BJ Coll). Stranraer obviously deserved the win but we gift wrapped all the goals. It isn't the 1st blooper from Wilson recently - take a look at Kelty's 2nd goal. We have got to get a decent keeper and pronto. Even a half decent one will do. -

How Confident Are You For The New Season?
beaver1 replied to BinoBalls's topic in Scottish League 2 General Chatter
Been really impressed with the performances so far. Gave a good account of ourselves against the teams from the higher leagues and played some nice football. Goalkeeper is the only position that worries me - Marshall hasn't impressed at all and I worry about what state Graeme Smith will be in should he ever get fit. It has been a long time since we went into a season with anything other than dread so this feeling is quite novel. -
Noticed what looked Ciaran Summers in training with Stirling.

This club have no ground, no fans, no community and now they don’t even have a name. They are one man’s play thing and they are dangerous. Bad enough that they have given the Colts a foot in the door, just imagine if one of the established league clubs were to lose their status to this charade of a club.

Hopkirk wasn’t the same player he was prior to signing the 2 year contract. Letting him go now suits both parties. Tapping is a different story, but whatever the clause was, we were happy to accept it when he signed the contract. My guess is that it was probably related to whether we were promoted or not.

Given it seems to have been common knowledge he was leaving, I am assuming we have spent his salary on the recent additions. A midfield of Forbes and Wedderburn bothers me as neither are particularly mobile. As FF said a while back, how does that midfield duo align with Swift’s stated policy of an energetic, pressing team. And then there’s Crichton... Still optimistic that we will get the right blend of players making the step up and those with league experience but losing Tapping is a concern.

In other words, give away a quarter share of the club for free? They are trying to raise capital. The distribution of a small amount of shares to season ticket holders is not an unreasonable goodwill gesture.

Supporting Lowland League clubs against colts
beaver1 replied to Gordon EF's topic in Lowland League
My god. How do you block posters on P&B? PS I wasn’t aware Motherwell and Ross County wanted their colt teams in the Lowland League. PPS Motherwell seem to be doing pretty well at developing young Scottish talent as things stand PPPS you do realise that the Rangers and Celtic colt team proposal is being continually put forward (by Rangers and Celtic) purely for their own benefit and not for the greater good. Why would they change the habit of a lifetime? -
Nobody apart from the people that appointed him. Everyone could see it was a crazy appointment and yet they haven’t apologised once for getting it so badly wrong. At least not as far as I can see.
