For the last few season we have either built them up or condemned them before a ball is kicked. Well we have now signed 6 players with more to come. All will be starters. Very few, if any, of the contracted players deserve a chance or to be at the club after last season and I would predict most will know that and will bugger off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbri Bairn Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I’m sure we can all guarantee to give them the usual 20 mins at least….20mins pre season games you mean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If McGlynn can move on even half of them he should get a stand named after him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a fan of McCann at Airdrie but he has been fucking hopeless in a blue jersey. Completely disagree. He wasn't played properly or often enough to make an impact IMO. Despite his stature he was still our best defensive LB and easily our best attacking threat down the left flank. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just poor footballers. Then you've got the the rest of the wage thieves, who according to the now departed Dixon " chucked the league in September" Aye, Sneddon's easily the worst left back I've never seen! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was good for losing (on average) a goal every game he played and it was telling he was dropped for McGuffie to play there instead of him. I’d love him to be the Airdrie player we saw but we didn’t at all sadly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a few beers to chill out after a busy day, so I might get shot down for this. But I can't help wondering if the legs could be Seb Ross? He got very little gametime last year with only six starts, but in terms of doing the donkey work such as running about and putting in tackles I thought he was decent. He's already on the books so is at least worth looking at in the preseason games if not the cup ties. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't get a fair shot last season but from the little we saw of him he doesn't look to have any sort of end product. I wouldn't be adverse to having him as a squad player but I wouldn't want to count on him as a starter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too lightweight, too ineffective, too similar to too many others, too feckin meh. We need shot of all these soft as shit non-entities we've endured for far too long. Harsh but true.

AGPar Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I had genuinely forgotten that Seb Ross was still a thing. He must be one of, if not the single biggest nothings ever to represent the club. The token signing that Holt allowed Diddy Sheerin to make. Came on a few times, run about to zero effect. The idea that he could become a regular on the back of that is laughable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's already on the books so is at least worth looking at in the preseason games if not the cup ties. Did feel a bit sorry for him at the back end of last season when we kept on giving game time to absolute garbage like Jacobs, Hetherington and Miller but Ross couldn’t get a look in. Saying that though he’s nowhere near good enough. Runs about a bit and tries but quality wise he’s miles off being good enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Bit of banter with a Hibee about Mackie. Mirrored most of the comments so far, keep him injury free and we’ve signed a very good player. Huge (gamble) from McGlynn on this one, however as said we need to identify and sign players who are better than a large majority of shite still here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18BAIRN76 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I don’t think McCann is any kind of world beater, but tbh I think even Andy Robertson would struggle at LB if he had Paul Dixon, Aaron-Taylor Sinclair, Ben Hall or Brad McKay playing on his inside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
