BIGdavieT Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Looks like Dykes will be called up for Scotland. Do we get more money for international appearances? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGdavieT Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) I think we have to face the fact that a good championship level player is unlikely to sign for us, especially at this stage of pre-season. Therefore aside from downright luck the only way we can get an edge over our fellow clubs is by finding young gems that we can bring on, getting the best out of Dobbie and finding a player with a flaw and working on that flaw. Lets hope that these players have something to prove and some magic can be worked on them to help them improve. Buchanan may feel like this is one of his last hopes of making an impact at this level. AJ was successful with us last time by bringing youth through the ranks. Therefore I have high hopes for Goss and it would be great if we could find one or two other young prospects. With such a huge club like Falkirk outside this division the Morton fans will be hoping that all the big name players flock to Cappielow.

The wording of the announcement definitely suggests we're due additional money on top of the initial fee " the deal has the potential of being a new club record for us" You would think theres a good chance an international call up would be one of the things that would mean an extra payment, but its not certain 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But looking at Scotland these days if I was the other club I think I would also put a condition in there that Scotland have to be ranked above a certain place for the payment to be made! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Goss ain't no youngster he is 24, Glad he has been given the chance tho. I watched the reserves last season and he was the only one that looked like he could step up, Glad Wullie Gibson introduced him to Queens. On that I hope there is a position be it part of the playing squad or within the coaching team for Gibson at Queens this season, He certainly improved the reserves last season when he was brought in.

Tommy is 22, still not a youngster though and a big step up from SOS league to the Championship, best of luck to him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Tommy is 22, still not a youngster though and a big step up from SOS league to the Championship, best of luck to him.Work with a boy who played against Dykes when he first arrived here. I couldn't tell you what league it was back then. He plays Sunday League now but even back then it wouldn't have been any higher than SOS football. He said Dykes was absolutely honking. We've watched his progress so hopefully Goss follows a similar path regardless if he's a wee bit older. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyndon Dykes played a couple of games for Dynamo Star in the Saturday / Sunday Amateur Leagues when he first came over here as a teenager before he registered with Queens. I assume it's one of those games you are referring to? He must have played as some sort of Trialist or they were friendly games as his official registration was not moved from Australia until we applied for International Clearance, both times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I like big Buchanan and he seems like a thoroughly decent guy but my god he’s looking rough these days. He used to be a big handsome b*****d when he was with us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 In other, actual news, sad to see that Pat McCluskey has died at age 68. Not the greatest athlete when he played for us, but very classy in terms of touch and reading of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
