What I would say is that if he doesn't get a deal he thinks meets his value there's as much chance of him signing a short term deal with us till he does I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank von Hell Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 3 hours ago, roman_bairn said: I don’t believe there is any mandatory testing for non Premier clubs - unless you are playing a top division side in the Cup or a friendly. However some clubs are doing their own testing. Whilst you can understand the financial reasons for non testing, it’s surely a disaster waiting to happen and will have to change soon. I still think there’s a huge question mark over the upcoming League One campaign..... I must have missed the rule change and I don't understand why testing would not be mandatory. Seems completely at odds with protocols elsewhere in football and in public life. You've got social distancing and the rule of six for joe public whilst at the same time teams of footballers travelling all over the country in close physical contact with other teams & no idea if they have the virus or not. Then they go home to their families. You're right it's a disaster waiting to happen , and I still cannot actually believe it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t expect this league to be a walkover at all, it is going to be tight. I posted something similar to this on our thread when a Falkirk fan asked about our expectations for the season ahead. Realistically our expectations are high, the majority of our fan base I’d say is expecting us to win the league, we likely have the biggest budget, a manager who has done it before and we were a team who was in the top 6 of the Premiership in 2017. Our squad is looking strong especially attacking wise, I’d say we have the best attack in the league, of course people may disagree, but this is how I honestly feel. That all said of course guarantees us nothing and it would be foolish to think we will walk the league, it is going to be tight.

However like we thought last season, it would be a season only down here. Apart from our own woes with the then manager, you will quickly find out that unless you get consistency and results early doors, most clubs in this league that will see PT and us as the big prize..... It’ll be no walk in the park as you’ve stated, I expect both of us to compete for the title and Airdrie to be in third place. I trust in what McCall is doing and believe he can bring us success. It’ll be an interesting season ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will go down to who can be the most consistent, I think our attack looks like it’s got goals in it (Falkirk fans possibly feel the same about theirs) but until I see our defence looking solid consecutively in competitive games, I’ll still worry about a leakage of goals. It’s a big season for both clubs, I trust McCall to do what needs to be done, but we’ll obviously see come May. Airdrie I’d still suggest could be dark horses for the league, Cove will be in around Top 4 as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where we fell flat last season our inability to beat the teams at the top end and a bogey team in Clyde. Big season for M&M if they fail then they are probably out. I'd agree that Partick have the best attack in the league keeping Rudden healthy might be pivotal. Interesting season ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Still think it'll depend on the defender we sign as they need to be a starter as Durnan and Hall both have a bombscare in them. M&M said a while ago that a defender and a back up goalie would be their lot but if that was the case I highly doubt we'd have so many attacking trialists in just now. So hopefully that means we've got another 3 or 4 at a push signings to make. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I think a lot of us will agree that we never expected Alston to re-sign, this pandemic could yet bring us that miracle. Could be a case of sign a years deal with us to get back playing again and put his injuries behind him then look for a better move next summer when hopefully things have calmed down. I'm still clinging onto the hope that we'll manage to get rid of Sammon. Edited September 20, 2020 by FFC 1876 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without doubt if we didn’t have the Covid situation, probably have some of the biggest gates outside the top league ( exception obviously Hearts ) Aye in a normal season us playing each other would’ve attracted some big crowds similar to the crowds we got vs Morton in 2012/13. I don’t think we have any chance of being in grounds until at least 2021, we’ll see though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that note, did anyone else think the black numbers on the red away tops was damn near unreadable? Watching the highlights it was quite difficult to pick out even the numbers on the shirts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
