However, we always seem to be on the wrong end of bad decisions up there, onside goals disallowed etc. Hopefully that doesn't happen this time. A fast start could be vital. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) That Dundee game was an absolutely sensational day out. Looking forward to re-watching it. I think a certain Dan Elder has a crowd video on YouTube of Simmons opening goal and it just being absolutely bonkers in the stand. Edit: Just found it.

We were helped greatly in a cup game due to a shite RB and a keeper one time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flemboflem Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 One of my favourite games I have been to that!! Laurie Ellis's belter of a heider still gives me goosebumps! Was so hungover but the adrenaline and excitement of the game got me through the afternoon!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 It’s probably my favourite day following the Rovers, that. I was 17 but got served in the pub before it so stood on the front street in the blazing sun in short sleeves wielding dual pints for a few hours before stumbling up to Dens. Chaos in the stands at both goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which areas do we need to strengthen. The chairman states that no signings can be made and I doubt there will be any soon, but I’d be surprised if the gaffer wasn’t having a friendly natter with various guys none the less. On the basis that a settled squad that’s been together produces better teams I’d expect we will keep as many of the 28 that turned out for us last term. Re-signing Bene, McKay, Matthews and Armstrong would be my priorities But wouldn’t say no to keeping Thomson and Dingwall who we may yet see the best of. For me the jury is out on Miller and Grant Anderson. I’d like to see the two Stevens signed as they have that something we otherWise lack. Short term deals for Davo and Baird might not be a bad option depending on when the season starts and how many games there may be, just saying. If Ross Co release Geordie, I’d snap him up too! Should we lose out on Bene, McKay or Ando we could do worse than re-recruit Paul Watson, Arbroath PPotY Tom O’Brien is being touted in the Courier as attracting the interest of FT clubs so Could be a candidate. A dedicated right back should be sought and a Lb as cover should anything happen to Macca, perhaps a left sided midfielder/winger who can fill in if required? Without Allan, Bowie, Baird and possibly McLean we will need at least 2 if not 3 strikers, Airdrie’s Gallagher and Carrick impressed and one or both could do a decent job. I think Carrick is out of contract and as an ex-jambo fits a petter , Gallagher is still definitely under contract but might have a release clause who knows. If Hibs recruit 2 or 3 strikers in the close season I’d not be too surprised to see the Hammer return. What ever happens I trust the management team to get it right again, unlike their two immediate predecessors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 f**k knows what state any club will be in at the end of this but I would expect mcglynn to fully exploit all loan signings. I would keep most to be fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I would go nowhere near Munro. I'm struggling to think of a really good save from him in the entire season, indeed his blunders almost cost us the title. We need way better for the Championship. He'll be playing for Brora Rangers or such like in the next year or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 I’d like to see us go back in for James Craigen. He’s been playing right back of late and is obviously very comfortable in loads of other positions. Would have him back in an instant. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was great when he was with us on loan and I believe he’s out of contract in the summer. I vaguely remember him having a good relationship with the club after his loan ended so who knows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I think a poacher like MacLean is vital, in addition to the conventional striker need. Baird seems to be a bit past it now, but might work in a real squeeze. I think Thomson can be a number one, but picking up another challenger would be important. I think Munro could fill the role, but isn’t my first choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baillieinleeds Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 For those thinking Munro would be a great signing.....really!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Robbie Thomson brought back in some stability at the back when Munro was proving costly. I would stay well clear of him, frankly. My wish is that we sign a 'keeper who isn't prone to getting injured*. Far too many shenanigans in that department the past few years. *I am sure in due course this will happen upon signing for us, however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mealsonwheels Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 There may be an option for a couple of loan deals owing in from Fulham. John spoke of this after the sale on Bowie. It would be nice to bring in a loanee from somewhere else rather the the usual Hearts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Falkirk weren't getting close to getting anything from that game in March until Munro came on, to be honest. Edited May 20, 2020 by CALDERON 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Munro for me doesn’t really fill the goal as much as you’d want. He’s on the small side for a keeper. I’d be looking for a new number 1 keeper. Championship is a huge step up and I don’t think Thomson cuts it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
