Jan Vojáček Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 On 09/07/2021 at 13:37, ilostmyself said: How come Dumbarton nearly got relegated but half their team has been signed by teams that should be aiming for promotion? What's going on? I've been wondering the very same. Everyone talks about Duffy being an excellent manager - but some of the guys who had us trundling about ninth and staying up by the skin of our teeth have now been picked up by yourselves, Cove, Airdrie (three times...) and Alloa. Either Duffy seriously underperformed last season. The players seriously underperformed last season. Or the clubs who signed them are in for a shock. 4 hours ago, latapythelegend said: That Dumbarton team that day were the worst opposition we have played in a league fixture at TFS. We were 5-0 at half time. Walking out after that game I genuinely thought they would finish the season on single digit points. I watched the highlights from that the other day. It was one of the first games I reported on when I was in this job full-time. How Falkirk didn't put eight or nine past us that day I'm really not sure. Two months later we added Reghan Tumilty and Adam Frizzell, Falkirk were in total freefall and needed an injury time penalty to draw 1-1 at the Rock and Raymond McKinnon was hounded out. Crazy how quickly Falkirk went from 2012/13 Queen of the South to 2014/15 Dunfermline Athletic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also noticed there's still a fair few trialists there so hopefully some more signings to come in. Your hoping it isn't a reoccurring injury, Josh Todd seemed to have had a lot of trouble with his shoulder and even before he signed for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah good point I've just rewatched and noticed that so you are most likely correct. Ben Weekes looked to be in the footage along with the Ipswich lad and another young black player standing at the side of the goals for the small sided games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbrbairn Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I remember a young lad just back from America who we gave a chance to. I think his name was David Weir. I wonder what happened to him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbrbairn Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Got it. Mackenzie Lemon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroMoutinho Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Lemon is only 18 so I’d imagine would be a signing for the development squad. Sheerin mentioned he was seeing whether he could bring in a couple of the youth squad players on full time deals so this might be one of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Not sure bringing in youth players on full time deals to pack out the squad is the best idea at least not yet. Crying out for better quality players in every department, yet everything seems to be pointing to either loans or giving the youths a deal. Sneddon has been in and around the first team for a season and he's no closer to getting a game regularly. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be these lads are seen as better than the development team and Sheerin's having a look to see if they are capable of pushing for a first team place already. If they're good enough they're old enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latapythelegend Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Reading about the game being on Falkirk TV tonight, am I right in saying that the game is being made available to last years season ticket holders for free as well? Unless I'm being daft that is what it reads as. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
