Hampden Diehard Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Surely if the players are on amateur contracts which expire in the summer, clubs can approach them for signing talks from January onwards?? How do you make that out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB_Bino Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 How do you make that out? Because they are free agents in the summer and can talk to anybody they want.

parsforlife Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I can't imagine an amatuer contact offers the club more protection than a professional one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spider Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Have you heard of the Bosman ruling? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosman_ruling Of course we have silly - anyone approaching our players before the end of the season gets a kick in the Bosman.......simples!

Mick1867 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Since we started signing ex-professionals (in the latter half of the 90s) I’m sure there are 2 types of form that a player can sign with us. 1 is an amateur form and the other is “ex-professional – no fee “or something like that As for our players getting “tapped upâ€, I don’t see the need to get so precious about it. It happens all the time and I’m sure we’ve benefited from our coaches doing it as well. Some of our players believe it or not have agents who will alert them to interested clubs.

The Spider Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 All true but still doesn't actually clarify what the rules are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 6 APPROACH TO PLAYER A club, or an agent on behalf of a club, may only approach a registered player of another club providing it/he/she has firstly advised, in writing, the player’s current club of its/their intention to do so and providing the player has only six months or less of his current agreement remaining. This Rule does not apply to youth players. (see - Registration Procedure 2.5.1 re prohibition on approach to youth player). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QPSAFalkirkFirm Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Couldn't stay for the POTY awards last night but I see Sean Burns is the Committee's man. Could somebody in the Inner Circle please tell me what the story is with that guy? Any word on the QPSA award? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick1867 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 No no no Muir player of the year Muir won the supporters' award, the one that matters Supporters knowing more about football than the club committee.... who’d a thunk it? Well everyone really. I like Sean and I think he has done well this season considering he’s been asked to play all over the shop but even he knows he hasn’t been our player of the season I also note on the club website no mention of the supporters’ awards winners at the moment but quick to publicise the opinion of 10 individuals sitting round a boardroom table. Pretty crap considering the whole event is organised by the supporters but then hi-jacked by the committee. The(thankfully)outgoing President’s speech was the usual long winded and boring bumbling pish – he’ll not be missed. The head of the Supporters’ Association might have rambled on a bit himself but at least he is sincere, humorous, and speaks with a genuine passion for the team that the rest of us mere mortal punters can relate to.

Francesc Fabregas Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Is Muir signed up for next season? Wouldn't mind seeing him at Stenhousemuir. Goalkeeper's a position we've struggled in and I've always liked the look of yung Wullie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalkeeper's a position we've struggled in and I've always liked the look of yung Wullie. Would love to keep him at Hampden, but I doubt he'll be short of offers. Certainly good enough to go full time if the opportunity presents itself and could certainly pick himself up decent part-time terms. Not only a very competent goalkeeper, but I get the impression that his attitude to the game is absolutely spot on as well. We've been pretty fortunate to have good goalkeepers over the past wee while. DC and Neil Parry were also excellent. Always surprised that DC didn't make it a wee bit higher in the game than he did.

He's a bit lacking in stature but he always seems to command his area well and organise his defence. Brilliant shot-stopper too, I remember some of his saves last season were outrageous. What was the story with David Crawford? Am I right in thinking he had an agent who filled his head with all sorts about moving to England, only for him to pitch up at Dumbarton?
