I'd bite your banger for 8th. At half-time last night, I did half-jokingly wonder whether winning every game left could even get us 4th... I don't think it would. Completely agree about taking 8th. I think there's a lot of work left to do to get it, the teams below us have shown they can pick up points. I do think we'll manage it though. Which before DT re-signed, I would've said was very unlikely. Edited February 27, 2019 by FifeSons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameron2000 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I reckon if we go 9-1-1 between now and then end of the season we’d be 50/50 for 4th. Extremely unlikely and improbable of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 You can still register free agents after today, can't you? Just thinking about whether or not the Mclean deal is still on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thinking about whether or not the Mclean deal is still on. I'm sure they can be registered at any time, as long as they haven't only just been released by another club outside of the window. Completely unrelated, but on my most recent Football Manager save, we won L1 this season. We have Duffy from the start of the season in the game...

Jan Vojáček Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 We're in mid-table obscurity in mine with John Baird as our manager. Which is a great way to stop him scoring against us tbf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our manager is Paul Sheerin. I actually never play as us on the game, oddly. I don't like it for some reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Carrigan Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I have a couple of Sons-related questions. Listened to Bobby Barr on the Lower League Ramblings podcast the other day, and he mentioned that Stevie Aitken sorted jobs for any of the full time boys going part time. What exactly is it Aitken does? How is he able to magically conjure jobs for boys in this day and age? And does sacking him seem a bit counterintuitive given that his ability to sort these laddies jobs meant that the Sons were maybe more of a draw than other part time clubs? Just a few wee points I had, cheers guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a few wee points I had, cheers guys. It wasn't actually Aitken who sorted them jobs, it was our sponsors C&G Systems. It was obviously something Aitken could use to attract players, but the jobs are completely independent of him. He works for Rolls Royce, who have nothing to do with the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a few wee points I had, cheers guys. It is our main sponsors C&G Systems who have given the guys jobs not Stevie Aitken. In fact I'd heard that Aitken didn't really appreciate what they were doing to support the club and was often saying things like, "There's those guys who are knackering all of my players". Despite Bobby Barr stating that the job he is doing isn't overly demanding in the aforementioned interview. Without C&G we would already be relegated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also have to remember a lot of the guys he managed to attract to the club in the summer have led to us battling for survival, so it's hardly a glowing endorsement even if it was him getting folk jobs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
