Everyone and their dug had heard he was a front for a consortium..apart from Gary Deans obviously. Maybe if hed went to games before being chairman he would have heard this. End result was a knife edge vote with the future direction of the club up for grabs. Lets not forgot the small shareholders carried it through. Now we have Rawlins pulling the strings ( which I dont think is bad thing at present, time will tell),while Deans and his cohorts hanging onto the coat tails and will no doubt claim credit if were successful on the park. Look at the previous 18 months with this bod, horrendous record. Rawlins himself said the club was a mess, hence the restructuring. Deans and co are merely puppets for Rawlins, whos intentions we still dont truely know, but he has at least experience and a track record in football. On the money . Fortunately GD and the rest of his pals are virtually in secretarial positions for Rawlins with little or no shareholding. Like many before him GD means well but isnt really up to the job . I think Rawlins is well aware of the BOD limitations but remember they are volunteers who give up their time - Board of helpers seems more appropriate than board of directors now ! Rawlins will openly say this is the best BOD he has ever worked with 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only call it on what I have seen. He never struck me as any good at Alloa and his performance against Airdrie when he was pressurised was awful. I would play the young Albanian lad. Technically and physically way ahead of Hetherington. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ecosse83 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Looking forward to the game tomorrow. Was impressed with us last week although found it slightly frustrating Telfer was instructed to come deep all the time to collect the ball when it would have been easier for the centre half to run 50 yards into the space in front. That’s me nit picking though! Hopefully we can translate possession dominance into more clear cut chances in the future! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knee jerk reaction Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 It's something that annoys me and I don't want to single out a post as loads of posters do it but this "x player never impressed me at y club" so basically people are judging players on 1 or 2 or at most a few games v us or possibly a few highlights of games then completely writing players off before they've kicked a ball for us. Even when we play teams I know I tend to notice players who are outstanding v us not someone having an average game. Let's hope tomorrow I notice none of their players as they all have average at best games and the bairns go on and on 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde players were just bouncing off him last week. Hetherington is a decent option in the squad but needs to learn to curb his silly tackles especially when your two up and cruising. If he doesn't watch the decision will be taken for sheerin as he racks up the suspensions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proudtobeabairn Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I don't think we've seen enough of either of them yet to fully form a view. Krasniqi looks very assured while Hetherington is unspectacular and less obvious on the pitch (because he's not 7ft 9) but breaks things up well. Don't forget he was part of the team that went 2 nil up in the first place before his rush of blood to the head. I think Hetherington will come back in but Krasniqi is banging hard on the door. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinatoon Bairn Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Krasniqi for games when we will have a lot of the ball. Perfect for rotating possession side to side with the odd ball through the lines. (Last weekend) Heatherington for games where possession will likely be more even and turnover of possession is more frequent. (This weekend) Both are good at what they do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have most of the ball in every game we play in this league to be honest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Well that's one ex bairn in the Clyde team we won't have to face again, Mitchell has joined Hibs apparently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 We still not signed a striker? Keena will be fine but Ompreon's a complete gamble and Wilson's absolute dug meat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have seen more of Hetherington than Krasniqi but agree we haven't seen enough of either. I've said previously I'm not convinced of Hetherington's control, passing at times and decision making versus the silky Baptie and it's a no brainer for me so far but that could change in time. 54 minutes ago, FFC 1876 said: We still not signed a striker?
