He was quite clearly injured and shouldn’t have been on the park. Holt threw him under the bus by not defending him after the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damned if you do, dampens if you don’t, spring to mind........... Listen I'm happy for him to be gone but it could have waited until the other discussions had taken place as I'm hoping he's not the only one of the leftovers to be going. If he is the only one we are getting rid of then fair enough but I doubt that's the case so to put a tweet out with just him is a bit unfair.

If Kelly could get himself properly fit then I'd keep him but I think it tells a story when I'd rather have Liam Dick back at the club. Sneddon will most likely slot into the new development team I'd imagine. Yep, agreed on Kelly. He hasn’t done anything to merit a new deal and will likely be a higher earner. Dick would be a better option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have easily waited until next week (or whenever) with a round up of a, b and c are getting a new deal, x, y and z aren’t.

Reggie Perrin Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) Don’t get this should have waited to announce his release stuff. Not at all unusual to make this sort of announcement and the lads agent will be looking to get him another club ASAP anyway.

He's out of contract so the agent could have been out and about since January looking for another gig for him. Doesn't have to wait for us to announce it publicly before doing so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As posted it’s fair to give the guy a chance of finding a club as early as possible, with no doubt an endless stream of players being released by many clubs. You'll know, is it just the 7 we have contracted for next season just now? Mutch, Sneddon, Miller, Alston, Morrison, Keena, Dowds? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Although Durnan was a long way from our worst performer last season he wasnt good enough. We conceded loads of goal from set pieces and he also got himself sent off against Dumbarton which was where our horrendous run of results started. Aside from 2(?) assists early doors his long ball distribution from the back was woeful as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially as a volunteer who's done a lot for the club over the years. If he did start asking questions like that he wouldn't be doing the work he's doing for very long. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggerG Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 If we hadn't announced Durnan's departure it would have leaked out anyway and, guess what, the club would have been slaughtered for not announcing it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gav-ffc Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Thank f**k Durnans away, Hall next please but I don’t see Miller or Alston going anyway. Noticed Dixon is continuing to nurse back from his knee injury, definitely someone I’d like to be kept if fitness allows it. Good back up left back/centre back with plenty experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as his injury isn't serious I'd like to see him stay as one of our starting centre backs with a younger centre back in with him. He organises the defence well and gives 100% every game. Can also play out from the back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Folk reading way too much into the Durnan thing as if its a dig from the club, throwing him to the wolves or whatever. The club do hee haw to appease their fans. Biggest surprise is not keeping Durnan just to spite us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bairn88 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Couldn’t care less if the club has “thrown him to the wolves” by announcing it, would be the first thing they’ve done for fans in years -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 It's a general, normal statement telling the fans that a player has left the club. Are they supposed to wait and bung him in with other players leaving in 2 weeks, a months time? The only reason it looks like it's feeding him to the wolves is the fact that he's fucking shite and has been everywhere he's played. If he was even an average ability player, this wouldn't be getting discussed as such IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
