The numbers appear to just be printed on the back so there's not like a white box or anything like that. Would like to hear from anyone who seen it in the flesh as well? In terms of the goal itself absolutely awful case of just losing a man from a set piece. Can't see who it is marking him though. https://fb.watch/dTYto0iqS9/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidy finish from the boy that got their goal...sign him up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squeezebox-son Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 That's it been announced that McGeever is the new captain with Buchanan vice-captain. Fair enough given the lack of leadership last season but you wonder how this leaves Farrell and Carswell's relationship and things. Or if we will possibly look to negotiate him out. I know it says otherwise on the website but you can't see this going down well. Although, I also wouldn't be shocked if Carswell isn't arsed one bit... that's how he seems to have been the last couple of years (even longer maybe!) anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thommo90 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 those rumours about Carswell missing training before our relegation game are probably true then? Personally think Carswell has hung about for too long, hopefully we can agree to release him from his contract and can get new faces in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East of the Rock Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Would anyone agree Carswell was better for us before he became captain or am I talking rubbish? Maybe relieving him of his captaincy duties will give him a new lease of life?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the year after he won it was Kyle Hutton's last and he won it. Carswell hasn't bothered his arse for any reasonable time since we were in the championship though, apart from the odd decent match here and there. He just isn't really a leader on or off the pitch, in my opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be that the website statement is true and it suits Carswell not to be captain. I remember it happening at Killie where Garry Hay felt his performances were suffering as captain and gave the armband to James Fowler. Or it may have been vice versa, but the same outcome either way. It might be a fresh start for Carswell to concentrate solely on playing duties. I suppose the proof will be in the pudding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carswell stated last summer that a big reason for him staying was that he was assured he'd keep the captaincy as it was important to him. Perhaps that has changed in a year but I suspect this isn't Carswells choice. I agree Carsy needs a fresh start, I just felt he'd be better making that start in any other jersey than a Sons one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I don’t think the change of captaincy is a bad one, McGeever strikes me as a more natural leader than Carswell and Carswell’s form since being appointed captain has been fairly rotten. I just hope there isn’t any bad blood there, Farrell’s man management skills leave a lot to be desired and this move concerns me that there has been a bit of a falling out. The thing I really don’t understand is giving the vice captaincy to Gregor Buchanan. The guy fumbles his way through games unless he is paired with an experienced centre back who can talk him through games, how the hell is he going to cope being the leader of the entire team when he struggles being the most experienced guy in his own position? Are the players going to be inspired by a guy who regularly makes catastrophic blunders that cost goals? Demoting Carswell to vice captain would have been a more sensible move IMO, lets hope McGeever manages to stay fit for the full season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Graham was away shortly after the season started. I think history and the fragile ego of a footballer means Carswell will soon be away. And I'll be fine with that too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. If it was so important then his captaincy last season left a lot to be desired, and from what I can gather things weren't too great off the pitch either and not just Traininggate. Sometimes a fresh start can be in the interest of both parties, and maybe the player himself would now be open to offers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarti pooh Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 If he is offski then I think that's a real opportunity to strengthen. He'll be one of our bigger earners plus I don't think he's creative enough to cause other teams trouble or destructive enough to be a great ball winner. His wedge could go towards a much better player. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I feel like regarding the fresh start elsewhere, but part of me also thinks that Carsy will be happy getting a decent wage to coast through a league 2 season contributing very little (and now without a great deal of responsibility) too. As a few have said before, time will tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the snudge Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I wouldn't be surprised to see Carswell pitch up at Drumchapel or the likes in the wosfl. His performances haven't been anywhere near good enough in what is supposed to be the engine room of the team. He could have been our Mark Noble aswell. It's ashame, but we should wish him well, say thanks for the service and part ways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 we are all quick to slate him after a bad season but realistically regarding spending the wage he earns on someone else. who is that someone else then? who is that "Far better player" you think you'll manage to attract to league 2? Open to actually hear some names you think are available and better than him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Quitely Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Carswell has lost the captaincy but he's still a signed player. It could be he's going nowhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
