Shadwell Dog Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Collins never lasts long anywhere. He's worse than Holt. Soon falls out with folk and goes off in the huff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to do the business on the park now this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latapythelegend Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Not familiar with him but his record looks promising. Every club he has been at in Scotland has at least some decent record of youth development. Glad to see we are focusing on the 16-20 age bracket and not wasting our time babysitting children. Leave kids football to the established boys clubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 From what I know he is a good lad and a good coach as well as one of Holts best mates. A foot back on the ladder. Long way to go though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) See the pitch they've built at the back of our stadium is that ours with the intention of using it for our academy or any clubs who pay us to use it or is it council owned?

Long way to go though 4 - 6 years till we see a payback minimum. That is hopefully selling a 20-21 year old gem for a few million. Got to be a long term investment and not the first target for any cost cutting 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think I'd know how to spell it by now because it's been a common theme at the club for the last few years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if we will ever get an apology. Anyway moving onwards , a very positive first step back on the journey to getting our own youth players our football infrastructure, & our identity back. Good stuff! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDust Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Would a league one club winning their cup tie this weekend fuk up the 22 league season ? I'm guessing the further 4 league games would be played during next cup round 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I wouldn't have thought so. Clubs have until 23rd April to complete the 18 fixtures, most have 1 free slot (Thursday 22nd) left. Saturday 24th April earmarked for the SC 5th round ties. Clubs then have until 6th May to complete the further 4 fixtures (play-offs start Saturday 8th May). So a L1 team could make it to the SC 5th round, then play Tues - Thurs - Sat - Tues and complete all fixtures before the deadline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically we need to win on Saturday then get the players to drive straight to covid hotbed Clackmannanshire and start licking door handles? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Would a league one club winning their cup tie this weekend fuk up the 22 league season ? I'm guessing the further 4 league games would be played during next cup round There are 5 teams in each half after the split which means every team will have a free date. If a team is still in the Scottish Cup then the QF date can be their free date in the league.The only issue would be if two League 1 teams in the same half of the table ended up getting through (eg Forfar and Clyde both getting through and both being in the bottom 5) - if that happened they obviously couldn't both use the free date for the cup game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Nice to see the club putting up a video of Leitch acting like a decent footballer in training even if it was only Durnan at the end he nutmegs. Makes it a little more fathomable as to why they kept selecting him to start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
