callum-ayr Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Here's the Highlights from Hurlford vs Ayr McGill scored the third and Donnelly scored the 4th, just for future reference when making a video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 We need at least one more CH, a midfielder and a striker. Just realised (probably due to the panic of having no CH or striker signed) that we only have Gilmour and McLaughlin in the middle of the park. I would assume if / when Crawford and Shankland come back thats 2 out of the 3 covered. I suppose it depends how the McArthur Murphy partnership plays out in the first few games on whether we need a first choice CH or just cover (ie Campbell and McKrakcen) I wouldn't be surprised to see Roberts slot himself into centre mid this year.

Meathead Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I would assume if / when Crawford and Shankland come back thats 2 out of the 3 covered. What makes you think they'll come back? Shankland seemed pretty adamant on Twitter that he's cut his ties with Ayr and Crawford is, to my knowledge, still training with Sheffield United. Even if either/both of them don't get a move sorted elsewhere I suspect they'd be wary of coming back, given the way Roberts handled the similar situation with Tiffoney.

Cliche Guevara Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I'm sure Roberts was quoted as saying they have no future at the club as they failed to report for training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Just posted this on the Clyde v Ayr topic as our likely starting 11 for Saturday. If Donnelly gets us goals, it's not too bad a starting team I reckon. Hutton Devlin McArthur Murphy McKinaly Forrest Gilmour McLaughlin Donald JP Donnelly The likes of Peter McGill, Ryan Nesbitt, Andrew Muir, Craig McCracken, Sean McKenzie, Jai Holland, Steven Hutchison and Michael Wardope will more than likely all play their part and I reckon 1 or 2 can make a breakthrough like Forrest did last year.

orfc Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Carlisle fan here, see you've signed Peter Murphy, he'll be a class act in Scottish Division 3 Last season he played for Celtic Nation, basically because they paid him a good wage and it was a mile from the house he already lived in. Their backer, Frank Lynch, has pulled the plug though and all their players are leaving Seen him score a JPT winner at Wembley in front of 45,000 people, score the goal that took us up from the conference, and play well enough to make the RoI squad in the season we nearly made the championship Also seen him get sent off in the conference against York, have a howler at Wembley in a different match in front of 70,000 people, but when you've played 400 odd games for one club you're going to do pretty much everything that can be done Good luck to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine he'll be on a fraction of his previous wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meathead Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 How has Devlin played so far? I haven't seen us play yet this season and won't be at the game tomorrow but, based on what I've read from the Stenny fans on here, a right-hand side of Devlin and Forrest seems like it might be quite vulnerable defensively.

honestly united Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 What makes you think they'll come back?

Even if either/both of them don't get a move sorted elsewhere I suspect they'd be wary of coming back, given the way Roberts handled the similar situation with Tiffoney. My assumption was that if we have offered them a contract we would need to honour it to get any cash if they sign for someone else, so if they do decide to return / dont get an offer elsewhere we cant just say we dont want them as they would be free to go elsewhere for nothing then. I would think until they do officially sign elsewhere the money will be ringfenced to ensure we dont lose out. I think Crawford will get a dal somewhere if he has been at Sheffield that long, shankland though, last I heard was at Celtic Nation, but cant see them offering him anything now, so might have a re-think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitty_Boy Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I'm not sure where it was Shankland went on trial but he was home within 48 hours after picking up an injury. Thought I read he was at Somerset on Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we know if McKinlay is fit after his knock against Crusaders? If Donald were to sit at left back I wouldn't have too much of a problem slotting McGill in on the wing as I think he's done ok. Granted Donald has far more influence on the game playing on the wing and should always be starting here when possible. I think whether Roberts starts McArthur or not on Saturday will show us if he rates him or not and is willing to give him a crack at first team football. I would prefer to see Forrest and McGovern switch positions on your line up, McGovern delivers the better cross ball and Forrest would thrive buzzing about behind the front man.

If they reject it, which they both have, we have no obligation to pay them and are still due compensation.So, do people now think there is a possibility of us actually having a better team than last season?
