Cheers lads, we've been trying to punt him for the best part of a year.
Strange player. Isnt quick, isnt strong, doesnt win headers, doesnt pass the ball particularly well, doesnt hit shots with much power, but doesnt place them well either. 
Hes just sort of there and sometimes happens to get on the end of something to knock it in.
Best of luck to him, as he seems nice enough, but I suspect you'll be his last full time club before he returns to the Irish pub league.


Happy to oblige, benevolent to the end us

Really no idea where we are going with this one. Where is the strategy, planning etc.

More panic and more cash being burnt by the look

Reckon you'll be paying any of his wages? 

We've been desperate to get him off the books for a while, cant see us letting him go without some contribution financially.

We needed another left-back and a Davis Keillor-Dunn and we’ve gone and signed a 3rd choice striker. Really strange stuff from McKinnon and again makes the decision not to punt Johnstone when we had the chance even more mental.

Of course it would have been better if we signed a swashbuckling winger or whatever, but who do we think we are right now?   We are in the third level of Scottish football with a team playing like strangers.  What decent player in their right mind would want to come here?   What are we expecting, especially with McKinnon doing the picking?

A wide player who can compete at L1 level perhaps??

I’d rather sign nobody than waste more money on a player we don’t need.

DKD would jump at the opportunity to return but he’s pissed his budget away on backup strikers.

Just Youtubed David McMillan's goals.  He might be past his best but at least he has a proven goal scoring record.  How many times have we signed strikers in the past few season who have barely scored any goals at all in the career?

Well, I was happy being unhappy with the performances, and the manner in which McKinnon had us set up to play.

Now that’s gone, and I am genuinely uneasy about all of it. This is really starting to feel like it’s all on the brink of completely unravelling.

McKinnon saying he had worked really hard to get him to the club...........we should all be getting nervous right about now.

I think the football budget has been a mess from day one. From the time it took to get one in place, to initially having the funds for only a squad of 17, to then being given additional money on a piecemeal basis months afterwards. This latest cash was only made available after the transfer window closed.

It can't be easy to plan a squad of players when the goalposts keep changing every five minutes.

Got to admit I just cannot be arsed with pretty much everything the club does atm. Just feels like a total shambles and there’s nothing we can do about it. Didn’t realise it’d be possible to be more apathetic and disillusioned with everything and everyone after the end of last season but they’re a long long way along the line to achieving that

This.
Spent last Saturday painting the spare room instead of going to Airdrie and this week it’s neck and neck between Kirkcaldy and IKEA.
It’s just not right!
