Shadwell Dog Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Ive no doubt dowds has been doing well but I wouldn't be getting on Twitter and going mental about goals for a player whose only scored 4 in 18 appearances this season. It's hardly prolific by any means. Let's not forget that we will be paying some of dowds wages so when his loan runs out he'll come back to us and only be going elsewhere if Rennie doesn't want him. No point in us paying him to play elsewhere if he can do a job for us . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praying Killie fall for his bullshit tbh. That AGM could have been the best thing for our club in forcing a regime change. Understand some don’t want to make light of it but if it’s worth remembering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must’ve been a decent bust up. As a long standing EF fan and like all of us EF fans a big ” Tonks” fan- we have been surprised by his lack of success at Falkirk but not at Arbroath. We always believed taking into account how young he is in professional terms he could play in a much higher level than even championship. As a much loved player by us , we have been surprised by the vocal distaste by many Falkirk posters on this forum , not only on this forum but posting on our EF forum and indeed the Arbroath forum before he even kicked a ball for them- descriptions like “ dugshite “ from that Eknob boy!.etc . Anyway his lovely “large “ family from all generations, always support him, came to all our games with EF and as a small family club we all recognised them- i don't recognise this person at all from the many games they came to- who says he is his brother? - or do people just want a story to fill the narrative?. All i know , from the many times he was MOM for us and again at the weekend, he comes across as a very descent lad, intelligent , hard working and successful in business before he decided to take a plunge into FT football. - he will be smarter than those who are speaking to him( probably way to smart for Sheerin) and would not surprise me if he will have read and probably ignored the nonsense on these threads -but like any of us wont forget what was said- for me i cant believe any of his family would be allowed to talk such nonsense on any forum- he comes across as his own guy- he will make his own decision- the rest in my view is just noise…. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point in us paying him to play elsewhere if he can do a job for us . Lies , dam lies and statistics . On BBC goals he has the best goals per minutes at Arbroath. Reading his stuff on the press, he has covid, got half a game in a league cup game vs Hamilton and is punted as No4 striker. Seemingly joins Arbroath, no match fit, lacking confidence, gets lots of 5 min subs roles and scores vs top teams in the league- Raith, Kilmarnock, Thistlle. And at the weekend no 3 in 4 vs Morton… .. but no good enough for Falkirk….behave… Edited December 20, 2021 by Its not only a game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoAmI Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Maybe all this negativity around Dowds is down to The club not the player. Remember you took Austin from us, benched him and now he is scoring for fun in Kelly’s colours, 15 so far this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a bairn Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Nathan Austin was not and quite possibly still is not anywhere near good enough to play at the top end of the championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybees I, maybees no, but you guys are no way near top on league1 forget Championship.

MrDust Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Dowds made zero starts under Holt, the laughable sub appearance of playing him in a no10 role at Airdrie when clearly he isn't a no10 and the best option was either sub Sammon(who was getting feck all outta the game) or put him out wide or pair him with Dowds, Holt attempts square pegs into round holes. It's safe to say Holt doesn't rate him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbri Bairn Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Aye, that’s true. Guess he does train with us full time too, so he won’t really be “coming back” per se either. who is Percy? A new striker? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye going from middle of league 2 to the top of the champ was too big a jump for him at the time, definitely had the ability but always seemed to be looking for a foul rather than scoring when he was in the navy blue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Interesting to see what Rennie does with Dowds and the fringe (loan) players. ( Dowds looks like he’s dropped quite a bit of weight but is he our answer ?) Really hoping that guys like McDaid are shown the door ( guys body language from the first game was appalling) With ten or so days till the transfer window opens, for me this is the most crucial window for a long time. Desperate to see at least at least a commanding CB, MF and CF brought in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the article in the FH in which Rennie comments him and Kenny Miller have connections all around the world, it would suggest any incoming players go through him and not GH (thank f**k) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Abiding memory of Austin was him scoring but then missing two sitters in the first 20 mins against st mirren on the opening day of the season . We went on to lose 3 1 and it's been downhill all the way since. Very good lower level striker but struggled at the real top end of the championship. Was very poor in the league playoffs against united . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
