Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 It would've probably attracted a decent crowd, it's been a few years since we played. Just hate pre-season when you cant even get to watch your team or see trialists etcIt would attract 300 max. Ochilview is open all day. I doubt you'll have any problem watching it for free if you want to 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doors will be open for those who want to watch I'm sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesc Fabregas Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 I am delighted this thread has been moved back to its rightful home and I have updated the title accordingly. Best of luck to the good brothers and sisters over the course of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friendlies in general are awful nevermind that one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless 5 or 6 genuinely decent League 1 standard players are added this is going to be a very long season. When we played you in the cup (albeit not at our best ) you put up a good show..BTW has longworth been freed ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferns has pace but his final ball? Shocking Cook was dreadful for us, he could do a good forrest gump "ah just kept on running " charge up the wing but the end result was not good.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see you have 'no financial difficulties'. Enjoy getting pumped every week in League 1 x Love hearing a shire fan taunt other clubs about money. from a team that has to tout itself around to the lowest bidder just so they can play their games. from a bunch of rental ronnies that cant even run out under their own club badge as they cant afford even a public park home venue of there own. from a team thats the only one EVER in scottish football history to be pumped out of the league cause they couldnt afford a team good enough to beat a lowland league side. thanks for the advice though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STENNY ROB Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I see Willis Furtado has left Raith Rovers and is yet to sign for anyone. Probably a long shot with our current budget but would be great to see him back - would be worth sacrificing a couple of fringe players to get someone of his quality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not the case that who ever signs him will have to pay a development fee? IIRC Raith only signed him as an amateur. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-Toon Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Mick Dunlop signed by Peterhead. https://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/fp/sport/football/scottish-football/dunlop-wanting-to-play-his-part-and-help-blue-toon-win-promotion-next-term/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesc Fabregas Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 Sorry to see the big man go - he was good for the Warriors over the course of last season and I loved the way he celebrated when scoring the two goals against Peterhead in the play-off final first leg - but I'm not sure if he was good enough to make the step back up into League 1. He could look a little rickety at times. I would have rather we held onto his brother, Ross, for the year ahead. It'll be interesting to see how Brown Ferguson pulls together his squad for the forthcoming campaign. It'll be a tough season, that's for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungWarrior Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 It looks still 4 or 5 players light yet, hearing the prices being paid for fair/good quality League 2 players makes you wonder where we are going to find the funds to attract the 3 minimum League 1 players to boost this squad. I see we are most peoples tips to go straight back down. Tight season ahead[emoji848] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Warrior Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 According to the Falkirk Herald we have agreed a deal to bring in 2 young loanees from Premier League clubs, 1 a defender and the other a midfielder. It also says a former player is coming back to the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonglum25 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Heard that we were looking for at least 2 loanee players, one of which is to be a defender. From the list above we need at least 2/3 defenders and the same in attack. We are not paying anything near what clubs like Cowdenbeath are so will be difficult to attract some players. On a positive note season ticket arrived this morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
