18BAIRN76 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I’d legitimately punt a solid third to a half of the players who made an appearance vs Montrose before McCann. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCann also did what also Dowds did last season and have poorish games against their previous clubs.

FFC 1876 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Mccann's a better footballer than Mackie imo but Mackie brings far more physicality to the team which is probably why McGlynn prefers him. Mackie did say in the post match interview last week that him playing centre back for most of preseason and the league cup has hindered him a bit in terms of fitness so he didn't feel he was getting up and down the wing as much so hopefully still more to come from him as the games progress. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtful whether McCann will start on Saturday anyway given Airdrie targeted him before by punting high balls over his head and he was getting caught out all the time. Didn't help ofcourse that his fellow defenders were fucking hopeless the entire season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be his own choice right enough given the grim tax implications of having a company car. That auld Audi is the company car. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 It's a travesty he wasn't blessed with a decent set of lungs as technically he's different class. The only thing that's really ever held him back is his lack of an engine. Was toiling as soon as the second half started there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought if he had a bit more pace then he’d be at a much higher level. Would take him back in a heart beat though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Probably my favourite Sibbs moment was against Rangers at TFS. He had the ball about halfway on the main stand side when 3 huge Rangers players descended on him. Sibbs totally disappeared from view and I honestly expected him to be a crumpled heap but he managed to wriggle past the bemused Rangers guys and start an attack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dufresne Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I was talking to my son tonight about our horror signings over the last few years and he minded me of this one Falkirk buy striker Dylan Mackin from Livingston - BBC Sport We bloody paid money for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd struggle to pick between him announcing himself in the Queen of the south game, the hibs semi final goal and the game he tore Hearts a new one with Rory Loy at Tynecastle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we closed was the Forth Valley academy which may still have produced some.decent players but nothing like another Sibbs, Fulton, Kingsley etc. We had a golden era of youngsters a decade ago that would probably never have happened again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t agree. There are about 15 who were in the FVA who have now signed senior contracts. From James Maxwell who just signed for Doncaster, to Kieran Offord at St.Mirren, to the bunch at Dundee Utd and 4/5 at the Old Firm. The Academy took a hit when it moved to FVA but it was recovering and had we still had it we would have had a team full of those players again - and they would have been on less wages too. If you don’t believe me go ask our CEO he was there when it was shut. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
