parsforlife Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Club really stretching things out with their definition of the coming days about access to the Hamilton match, ok they still have a bit of time, but given the restrictions were announced 3 weeks ago, and every other club has worked out a system it shouldn't be that hard. The article implying imminent news has dropped off the front page! Still, at least the club is doing a great job at improving fan relations after recent tensions... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 They haven't said anything about Kennedy being recalled either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoo61 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Hypothetically, would you take Griffiths? Maybe on a 6 month rolling to see if he would pull his socks up...but I reckon hes probably finished. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he'd probably demand a wage far beyond our reach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, would rather Todorov/Wighton got a run in the team than give him a chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think his talent is in question, I would assume he just doesn't care about being an athlete etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His attitude is fucking stinking and he comes with a lot of baggage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Griffiths is done. I see little to be gained taking him on as he follows the career of o'conner etc that went before him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Ewan Henderson signed for Hibs. Didn’t someone mention him in here recently and the consensus was that he was okay/decent enough but not exactly the player we’re needing to turn the season around? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I don’t think he was amazing here, but he certainly had a positive impact on the team and is much better than anything we have. Wonder if Henderson in at Hibs could mean Scott Allan’s coming back to the championship? Think I saw that they’ve signed a couple of strikers too, maybe Nisbet money coming our way? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Leigh Griffiths' baggage totally trumps his footballing skill, which is undeniable. No chance could we afford him anyway, but his career has totally nose dived not far away from the Championship because of his behavioral issues. Ewan Henderson is a good player, but not what we need. We need a battling centre-mid that can take games by the scruff of the neck. The lack of direction and leadership, in the midfield especially, is staggering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was nothing specifically wrong with Henderson when he was here, from what I remember he was decent enough and I’d be happy to have him here. He certainly wouldn’t solve our problems singlehandedly though and we need a far more influential and dominant midfielder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would agree that he certainly wouldn’t single handedly sort our midfield issues. I don’t think there is one player that would though, think we need at least 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Surprised nobody has mentioned it here but the club have announced arrangements for the Hamilton game. - 500 tickets, all for the Norrie (guessing to do with disabled access, distancing, more spacing in toilets, maybe even power since it'll be used for the dressing rooms) - Season ticket only (fair enough IMO) - First come, first served via the website (not so good if you work in a job where you can't just go online at a specific time e.g. drivers, child minders, teachers) - Up to three tickets per application (better, mitigates the above to a certain degree) - Waiting list so anyone who gets a ticket then tests positive or can't go for any reason can tell the club and someone who can go can get their ticket (good) - 200 allowed in hospitality as long as it's indoors so priority given to those who have already booked (for enough but what a totally bonkers and arbitrary set of rules these are) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 On 03/01/2022 at 00:05, DA Baracus said: Haha, absolutely none of those clubs will want him. I doubt even Sevco actually want him. He isn't good enough. Kennedy's a strange one. You guys will have seen a lot more of him than me but he's now had 3 loan spells in this division with mediocre success at best. He did ok at ICT (and absolutely destroyed us in one game last season) but both Raith and Dunfermline fans have only seen a peripheral figure who has been involved sparingly. Still long enough to win Dunfermline a point against us again though with a goal and two assists a couple of weeks ago. Maybe he could just make a career out of playing against us! He's had a lot of press and clearly given his occasional bursts of unplayableness he has a talent, but there's no consistency and not even anything vaguely approaching it yet. Will be interesting to see his next move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These restrictions really are outrageous though, the fact that 200 people can be confined in hospitality but only 500 people are permitted to sit, outside, in an 11k seater stadium is mad. Really thought we'd see some more signings in for this one (perhaps a Friday afternoon pen on the way?) and with the departures of Vytas and Graham this week we could probably do with another centre half coming in, even more so as it looks Connolly will be gone after the Accies game. I haven't actually seen an announcement on Kennedy being recalled but assuming he has and is not involved in the squad on Saturday we are starting to look thin on the ground. As has been discussed Pybus wasn't spectacular but put in a good shift and at least showed a bit of desire which is more than what can be said of Dorrans, however fully expect Dorrans to be in from the start and I'll be pretty mythed if it's alongside Allan and Todd (both of whom I think should be replaced this window with the latter going at the end of the season). Will we see a surprise start for Lewis Martin this game or still too soon? Yogi mentioned his involvement in midfield against Livi which I thought was a surprise, personally I'd like to see him slot in at LB and give Edwards a long needed spell on the bench. Tomorrow is an absolute must win where a defeat will see us slump to the foot of the table, depressing times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very limited benefit as this level but Dunfermline will obviously gain from it. I guess Thistle also have glass fronted hospitality boxes at the back of the Jackie Husband Stand. I think Inverness do too. Anyone else? Do Killie? Anyone else? Edited January 7, 2022 by Skyline Drifter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Was Hughes perhaps hinting that Fenton might play left back? Would be worth a shot there. Martin is not a central midfielder and I really hope he is never played there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
