Not having this pish from Morton fans saying he was a 1/10 when he was involved in back to back promotions the two seasons prior. Think he'll breeze league 1 and be a solid squad player in the championship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkirkzombie Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 on another note, I see former player Andy Thomson is ast coach with Scotland women's at the world cup (think it's the same Andy Thomson anyways) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge of allan bairn Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I thought Connoly would have been a much better player for Dunfermline than he turned out to be but, as I'm sure their fans will agree, you could say that about most of their signings last year. McKinnon is the manager to have gotten the best out of him in the past so hopefully he can get him back on track. So we're now at GK RB Buchanan CB LB Paton McShane McLean Tidser Connolly ST Assuming Mutch, Dunne and Laverty will be fringe options and McGhee, Robson and Dixon are still to decide one way or the other we've got some work to do up front and in goals. Cammy Bells career has gone off the tracks big time but I'd take him unless he's on wild wages. No idea about strikers at all.if McGhee Dixon Robson resign I'd be very happy with that back 4.Paton (second half of his tenure with us) and mcshane should do well enoughwasn't happy at all with McLean last season however the old caveat is that he should look better in a lower league....don't know Connelly well enough. happy with tidser.so goalie required, couple of strikers and 3 or 4 back ups (or straight in) for defence and midfield 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't have been easy being a winger in a team with no strikers for most of the season. We'll find out soon enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
port-ton Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Morton fans coming in when we sign a player [emoji38] They've just signed an absolute diddy up top and a winger who has been relegated two seasons in a row with Brechin, couldn't make it up Morton fans slag Falkirk and Falkirk fans slag Morton. I for one am completely shocked at this development. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 How the times have changed, Falkirk signing our cast offs! I was quite excited when we signed Connolly but he never really lived upto the hype, didn't have the pace of trickery to play as a winger at championship level however he may get away with it down here, felt that he'd rather play as a 10 but didn't really influence the game much when played there. He hits a good free kick albeit he never scored one for us, he came very close quite allot. A signing I'd imagine will be absolutely fine at league 1 level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he'll breeze league 1 and be a solid squad player in the championship.He played 18 games combined for both teams and was released by both of then. He did absolutely stroll through games on the bench to be fair. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Are Pars Fans! Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I know Morton fans are slagging of Buchanan but I think it’s a really good signing. Always liked him when he played for us 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those players resign and we get a decent striker and keeper in who can also be considered championship level then I'd be happy with us supplementing the squad with loans/youth etc. Get a decent base of a team that we won't need to rip up in a years time with some (less expensive) potential on the fringes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestfieldBairn Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I don’t know too much about Connolly but if I’ve learned anything over the past few seasons it’s to judge players once they played for us and not on their past. Also, sad to see Tom Taiwo retire. A hard, fighter in midfield who I feel we missed when he left. Not great on the ball but definitely done the dirty work in our side. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Nobody thinks more highly of Gregor Buchanan than Gregor Buchanan. He's alright though. Probably score a few goals from corners and totally cruised through his spell with us in League One. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connolly will be fine for league one but does fly in the face of Ray saying he was building a team to get promoted to the premiership. On the flip side I would imagine this is Connolly's last spin at full time football so he might come good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
