For accuracy the fans have raised more than £185k out-with ST sales.

That’s about 15000 tickets a week (as it’s split 50/50) most supporters must be buying over a fivers worth each every week -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite liked him at Falkirk, good with the ball and a big guy but he is prone to lapses in concentration. I'd take him ahead of both Hall and Durnan. The right player at the wrong time, him and Dixon were a decent pairing until Dixon went to left back and McKenna and Edge were at the back. Never mind the Morton gif this ones much better at Alloa 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, Vinny, where did this money come from, you are claiming the fans donated? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawfield shed boy Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Did forfar ever receive their actual for morgan btw.. Appreicate it was a tough time and buying a player from a fellow team in relegation battle knowing fine well you were in deep waters probably wasnt intential...If your too young to know ask yer da please, ever so keen to find out cause your normal media streams & love for glasgow cuddly toy seemed to miss this story[emoji106] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So even at £450 a week to club that only a fraction of what @Vinnyjag stated.

The courts decided he didnt have a case to answer. Unless there is some evidence to suggest otherwise, that should be the end of it. The guy should be able to get on with his life without people going all pseudo morally outraged every time he signs for a new club. Falkirk and Hamilton fans certainly never had any issues with the whole thing especially when you read the full story. He's certainly not david goodwillie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats well impressive. I thought we were doing well with raising between 1200 and 2500 a week for the club in 50/50 draws. Prize money must be massive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How lucky we were indeed Where do you think you would have ended up if you hadn't agreed to move to Firhill? No idea what you're talking about re the club shop but I'm pretty sure we didn't even have a club shop at that time. If you want to go down the moral route, weren't you fined a few years ago for, illegally, charging Thistle fans more to get in than your lot?

How lucky we were indeed You were very lucky indeed not a single other club offered Clyde use of their ground at that time including those that could afford to such as the old firm. No one, nada - means Clyde have no ground then they can’t fulfill their fixtures and their out the league ms permanently. So your right your very lucky. Maybe you should question why the old firm could not have offered to help you out. Mind that time Clyde got Dundee United in the cup and Clyde used the tv money to sign up a whole lot of players they couldn’t really afford. Game got chance because of the weather and sky were not going to show the game and then were in the situation if not being able to afford these guys wages so they went greeting you Alex Ferguson to persuade SKY to show the game mind Clyde went into admin not so long ago paying players they couldn’t afford then ditched them on the scrap heap - yeah that was real nice from the bully wee but anyway back to the original point it was a very strange question given your not a Forfar fan to bring it up from some time ago, almost thought you had a chip on your shoulder against the jags but then you can’t be given you admitted how lucky you were to have us put you up, when no other club would otherwise you wouldn’t have a team to support now Edited August 23, 2020 by third lanark 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mediocre Pundit Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 So, Aiden Fitzpatrick goes on loan to QoS. It feels like he should have been going to a higher standard if he had a chance of delivering on the potential he showed a couple of years ago - bottom end Premier at least. Instead it’s a backward step from when he played for us (albeit only slightly to be fair...)Maybe £350k will turn out to be a good deal... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mediocre Pundit Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Happy to see Aiden sign a season long loan deal at Queens, can you tell me what tye of player to expect? Depends how much he’s developed in a year at Norwich, but he was a good raw talent with us. Generally trying to play offensively, happy to carry the ball or pass forward, but occasionally making poor decisions (to be expected when breaking through). Pretty nippy. Good finisher. Would have loved us to have held onto him for a bit longer - felt at the time that it was another example of us having poor business sense with players, whereas a similar player at Motherwell / Accies etc. would go for a much higher fee. Genuinely surprised he’s ended up back on loan at the same level of football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
