The big no. 16 that day (Faal?) to my surprise doesn't seem to have been signed up. Any word on the inside story there? He looked a really useful player Seems he was injured & sat out the Hamilton Accies friendly. No idea whether he's in Duffy's plans or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I was at the friendly match v dundee united last week. The big no. 16 that day (Faal?) to my surprise doesn't seem to have been signed up. Any word on the inside story there? He looked a really useful playerAt the time I couldn't decide if he was great or awful. He looked a real handful one minute and a complete donkey the next, but as time has gone on I'm actually disappointed we haven't seen more of him. I think he was due to start the Hamilton match but picked up an injury in the warm up so he may well still be kicking around. Given we already have Layne, Loy, Crossan and Tierney as options up front Duffy may well have decided against taking a punt on him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer to take a chance on The Gambian Peter Crouch rather than Isaac Layne, who's been around the circuit and produced very little tbh. Cannot recall Layne ever really standing out any time he faced us in opposition. Big Faal should be a shoe-in for our team of misfits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking up the record of the best runners up in the last three years to see how many points we might need to progress to the tv stages. It's time to put the Internet down and concentrate on the beer. Copyright Old Scrotum. Morton away and QoS home were winnable games a few short years ago... You’d need 9 points to get through IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next two were winnable as you say but I doubt it'll happen this time. I'm back to reality now! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super-son Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Sons TV have announced that they will be concentrating on covering as many home games as possible this season.That is very disappointing news. Sons TV is known for being a very good highlights package and I know many sons fans who rely on it as they are not able to attend every game and as most fans do try and see as many home games as possible and leave the away days to the hardcore.If anything they should be concentrating on the away games, not the home ones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong here, but in the past SonsTV have needed a sponsor to cover the volunteers expenses, it may be we don't have that, or that the volunteer no longer has the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike rankine Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Howling Wilf sponsored it previously. Without wishing to open 'Drumgate' again [emoji849] I think he made it clear he was withdrawing all interest in the club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably pay a fiver a month or something for highlights like last season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoTeamGaz Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 It’s very, very time consuming. You’re asking a volunteer to give up pretty much their entire weekend &, if they’re a fan, not actually be able to watch the match. first person in the stand, last person out it, cutting the 90 mins down to the highlights takes multiple passes over it, then rendering that video on a normal pc/laptop is very power intensive. I never for a second regret having done it, the timing accidentally covered an amazing period for the club but to do it right takes time & is a big ask of a person. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I'm sure some kind, hard-core, away fan could periscope for everybody. Is periscope still a thing? Guess you need to be available during live game time too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Did I spend my Saturday evening writing the report from yesterday, only for my computer to kick its legs up in the air and refuse to upload it to the website? Yes. Are you going to read this online and not screenshot it?

Surely there would be enough people interested in that to make it affordable to actually hire someone to do the filming and editing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know who ran it last season, they did a very good job, but if it was solely down to them it’s understandable that they now want to step back a bit from doing it. Anyway yesterday’s result was a welcome bit of positivity after the last few weeks. I couldn’t male the game but by all accounts we were solid if unspectacular; but we’ll take that. All good teams start by being difficult to beat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also a lot of costs involved, a monthly subscription for Photoshop, Lightroom and Premier Pro is almost 50 quid. That's before you get started on gear, tripods, lenses and travelling to games. Home games will do IMO, most other teams do highlights anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarti pooh Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Just throwing my feelers out. If I reached out to the club and tried organising a wee filming session with Duffy and/or Carswell to preview the season ahead would there be an interest in it? Watching the highlights on Annan's youtube page I see they've put a wee bit of effort in to their pre season in terms of video content. I'd be behind camera so feel free to volunteer for the role of host! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Annan #5 should've dealt with the ball for our goal, what a howler. Well finished, nevertheless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
