Players aren’t huge names but they are leaders. McGinn, Alston, Stokes, Murray were all captains. Murray/Armstrong are young with potential. Naismith is a good signing, Burke will resign. Then you spend bigger money on quality in attacking areas and GK Just now hes signed Championship level players, and Naismith is ~bottom 6 quality at a push, but its quite telling hes dropped to this level and you can't think of a top flight club bar County who have "missed out". Hes never managed at this level before, and expecting things that work in the Premiership to work in the Championship is what caused so many clubs to get trapped down here. McGinn and Alston are completely finished, Euan Murray is bang average for this level and was only linked to the top flight due to his goal record. Murray/Armstrong are prototype "good Championship attackers/can never make the step up" players. You've signed a rotten keeper and have an even worse one on trial, I doubt you'd be bothering with either if a clear first choice was lined up. Feels like he thinks he just needs a hard working group who "know the division" and it'll be sorted, despite almost all promoted teams needing 2/3 top flight level players. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 No wonder Falkirk were a bunch of heartless shitebags with Blair Alston as their captain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Kilmarnock supposedly having the biggest budget and then recruiting the way they have been, it’s looking like it could be one of the worst Championships in recent times in terms of the quality of the teams. There’s not one team in this league that you’d think could hold their own in the league above. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season I don’t think anyone could honestly say that about another team. You’re right in that it’s sort of the point that when you get promotion you are expected to strengthen to meet the step up in quality but the fact that every team would need to strengthen significantly shows that this league is already looking even worse than last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Are pre-season friendlies glorified training sessions played at half pace that are completely insignificant ? Yes Am I enjoying the euros which I can watch for free comfortable in my own home? Yes Am I completely buzzing that i will see the mighty DA live from inside a football stadium in just a few days ? HELL FUCKING YES. Can I explain why the f**k that makes any sense? No 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read this. Always refreshing to get a middle-aged white man’s take on racism and whether it exists or not. Thankfully, no sane person takes Dot Net seriously but I’m sure the Alba crew are congratulating the author on his “brave” stance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a bit about how slavery was never a thing in Scotland, he has some friends who are not 100% white, that the real culprits are that dance troupe from X factor who got all the complaints and also an article on how there shouldn’t be folk like Rylan only getting a job to “tick boxes at the BBC” and that he ruined Eurovision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
