There's a few gossips still involved but cook might have dished out a few telts to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Genuinely dislike it when a signing confirmation is leaked before being official. I love a surprise like that. Probably same twats who read spoilers for films or shows before watching them. Where's the fun? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Hopefully the leakers have been identified and sent to the wall. Clubs at our level usually have to wait for deals done at other clubs, usually higher up the chain, to see who then becomes available, or wait for offers for out of contract players to fall through so that we can then be a solid back up option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 There's kinda a feeling that the players we'd want, you almost don't want us to not be their first choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at our goals yesterday, Cove will need to improve defensively by about 1000% or they'll be Brechin-esque. We were truly terrible, both at the back and going forward, on Saturday. One of the worst performance I've seen at Balmoral in a long time. Very much a contrast to last season. First game back you expect a lack of match sharpness especially with only two training sessions but I was underwhelmed at the performance and fitness. We only had 13 outfield players, were playing a few players out of position due to injury and have a new manager who hasn't brought anyone yet in. Those elements didn't help. Guys like Masson, Leitch, McIntosh, Neill shouldn't be anywhere near our starting XI if we can make some signings. Saturday should have been a kick up the arse for us and reinforces we need to strengthen in the next few weeks. Pars rode to an easy victory and looked well ahead in sharpness.

101 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I see Charlie Adam has got a coaching gig at West Ham so that puts to bed the rumor he was considering coming here, not that I think it would have been a great move unless other members of the squad were moved on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah he's not got a job there, was just for his coaching hours apparently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Why would Charlie Adam come here? Dundee had to get an external party to fund his wages. How would we able to afford him? Even if we could, why would he drop down to League 1, and why to us? He and McPake weren't pals like McPake and Dorrans are. Someone like Falkirk or Kelty would be more likely to sign him than us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Not many changes, which is obviously a sign we don't have (m)any trialists at the moment. I suppose it'll allow McPake to get a system in place they'll be familiar with but a few folk thought that about he who shall not be named last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone like Falkirk or Kelty would be more likely to sign him than us. If he wants to keep playing, then he can't be asking for silly money now, because of his age. IMO. Would've kept him as an impact sub in the championship, he would do a job in L1 as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallumPar Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 McCann and O’Hara both scoring again. Performances/results in friendlies mean nothing. But it will certainly boost their confidence, which can only be a good thing. Doesn’t mean they’ll score lots or have great seasons, but they’re players that looked low on confidence at various points last season. Just seen Todd’s scored too. If he’s going to play in a more attacking role, again it’ll be good if he has some confidence in front of goal. Need as many players as possible to be chipping in with goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wind Chime Jimmy Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Pars will have their work cut out this season and we need a few more players, but these pre-season friendlies will prepare us for the fight ahead. I think we'll win this league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I've not seen us yet so I have no idea how this team is balanced, but that's a nice scoreline! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Think the club need to work on their social media updates. First of all, they’re getting far too excited over a friendly v Forfar. Secondly, we put out an update that Miller Fenton scored at 21:05 and put out the update to say he’d been subbed on at 21:07. Then just didn’t bother describing the goal (they described all the others). Things like that should be reliable/consistent. We used to have unique goal graphics for each player - we did in 2017-18, not sure when/why that changed. We’ve gone backwards to a generic goal gif, plus a name in all caps (usually) with 10-15 exclamation marks. I say ‘usually’ because for McCann’s tonight, they turned caps lock off too early and the tweet was “LEWIS MCCann!!!!!!!!!!!!” It’s fairly minor, but social media should be valued by the club, as a very useful tool for communicating with fans. Our output is very amateur. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
