I've not seen Ryan McCord since I saw him strolling about Waterstones on Princess Street. With that said, he only strolled about in his time with us too... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captured brilliantly, if big Dougie is still fit and up for a return I’d welcome him with open arms He has been offered a contract by ourself but is stalling, he's a great defender throws strikers about, easily our best player this year nothing he could have done regarding relegation always left everything on the park, I think we will lose him regardless if he ends up at you lot or not, he's far to good for league 1 never mind league 2, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His rashness tends to bemore easily punished. Great player for this level though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I hope we didn't have to pay Flanagan off. Hopefully it was a case of us either being able to exercise a clause in his contract or there's been a mutual agreement for him to move on. A bit sad to see the back of Buchanan in the end. No doubt his best days are behind him and it is the correct decision but 26 goals isn't a bad return at all and his attitude was spot on all the time. He seems like a first class professional and must have been a positive example to the younger players in the squad.Wedderburn was alright I thought but again I can't really argue with the decision. I'm sure he'll get a reasonable gig elsewhere. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I see Forfar have signed Jordan Kirkpatrick. I would've taken him. He always impressed with Alloa. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With you on all three counts Buchanan who at the end of day was our 2nd top goalscorer but if as alleged he was on a decent wedge its probably correct not to offer him another contract Edited May 21, 2019 by Rovers_Lad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brashy's Boots Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Nat and Buchanan on bigger bucks by all accounts, so definitely sensible. Flanagan just not good enough so I hope we've exercised a 2 way release option in his contract. I'm sure JMc will have a list of people he wants so offloading big earners and avoiding another year's contract for Flanagan make a lot of sense. Does seem however we're gonna need players in every position..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of years ago I rated him but he is just constantly moaning at others and getting wound up over nothing instead of concentrating on his own game . Need new faces in and not the dead wood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ding Dang Doo Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Am I the only one who thinks this attitude that we'll be able to get the best part time players is extremely wishful thinking? The best ones will be at the two part time clubs in the league above us and by the sounds of it both East Fife and Forfar are well ahead of us in terms of recruitment. I seriously worry for us next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously worry for us next season. Some will, some won't. Plenty of time. If we've got the attitude that we can't get FT players who can compete but are also completely uncompetitive in the PT market as well then we're as good giving up now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 No problem at all with it. Allows us, hopefully, to have a layer of depth and balance we didn't have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously worry for us next season. Im with you on this! The recruitment market is gona be tough for full time players our competition will be .. Falkirk : more money for wages and a fully full time squad most likey to get the best of whats availibe that can't get a championship club. Airdrie: central baised but might not be able to pay similar wages for full time players as us. For part time players the best will go to Arbroath and Alloa in the championship. Forfar have already picked up a few part time boys good ones from alloa and some better ones from league one East fife have signed up 2 former arbroath players And Airdie will be competeing along with us again prob similar quality as what we want 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
