Tynecastle and Douglas Park come to mind as two of the worst. Remember that one well. There with two Killie-supporting pals, so got bragging rights and safe passage out of Rugby Park. Only ground at which I was ever assaulted was leaving old Bayview after a 2v1 defeat in 1972. Crowd of around 4,000 there for an ordinary league match! Can confirm that Broomfield and Brockville were nightmare trips for visiting linesmen (sic) in the 1980's!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 This all looks so familiar from so many of Duffy's transfer windows at Clyde. Obvious gaps in the squad and very little creativity or apparent urgency in trying to fill them. I'd imagine he'll have a bit more money to play with at Dumbarton (we were very much at our lowest ebb financially) but I'd be worried regardless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine he'll have a bit more money to play with at Dumbarton (we were very much at our lowest ebb financially) but I'd be worried regardless.This is pretty much what the Morton fans have been saying. We have until Saturday to add the 4 or 5 bodies we need but I would be lying if I said I wasn't massively concerned with our current situation. We have already made an arse of our first two fixtures of the year and have a real c**t of a run of games after Montrose. The lack of urgency is weird considering we desperately need an upturn in form and only have 10(?) fit players. I just feel as if Duffy has had months now to prepare for the January window and it's a bit frustrating he didn't make some early moves for players. He must have known Allardice, Spencer and McGowan weren't part of his plans and he must have known Dowie was planning on chucking it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Seen as we aren't getting any news of our own, I'll give you some of Forfar's. They've signed Brad Spencer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 You guys have enough players for the game on Saturday yet? Also, many apologies for Pars being rubbish and costing you gate money vs Rovers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have him over one our current starting centre mids tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a good squad filler I feel but nothing more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) What I’d give for a klaxon. Surely we’ve never had such few players in January during the modern era (i.e. not counting the days where only the old boys would remember us having one or no subs)? In fact, I’d be surprised if any senior team ever (not under admin/liquidation) had so few at this stage. We may have set some kind of record.

He might not have been peak Chris Turner or Scott Agnes Agnew, but we don't have anyone else who can do that.

Actually, it might have been more than one bus that got bricked? Those were the days when we'd run multiple buses to away games. For the following week's game at Rugby Park we had a police escort out of Kilmarnock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pleslie99 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I'm getting more and more concerned about the lack of numbers. How many actual players do we have registered and how many are fit? The laws state you can start a match with 7 players but has a professional team ever started with less than 11? Surely we will have at least 3 trialists playing on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albundy Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 On atleast two occasions Duffy has been quoted as saying there will be signings before Saturday, I will give him the benefit of doubt in his first transfer window. Though, just how many, he didn't allude to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonsanorak Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I reckon Spencer had for far, or another club lined up for a while now. In all honesty, why else would the mgr pick some of our barely fit players to start in front of him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
