dezz Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Horrible news.Andy is best mates with a member of my family who always brought him up when we were talking football. I’m sure many won’t find that surprising if they ever came across Andy - either in life or as Andy P on Steelmen Online - he always came across as a really polite, respectful and insightful guy.RIP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Yeah that's very sad news, both him and madwullie in the last few days.That's terrible news about Andy P - I didn't know him personally but he always came across really well. What sort of age was he?For those that didn't know about it, there's a thread about MadWullie's sad passing in the General Nonsense forum with a link to a Just Giving page for a charity which provides special days out for people with life threatening illness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would only have been late forties/early fifties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was as a regular on the Muirhouse bus in the 90s that I first got to know Andy. Was all relative on that bus but he sat at the more sensible end. An absolute gent. His stuff in the fanzines was always worth a read. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiemunster Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Very sad news about Andy passing so suddenly. Both he and his Mrs are lovely people. The game doesn't seem fair sometimes 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I had no idea about Andy P or Madwullie. Both of them were decent posters and will be missed. RIP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t seem that much older than me at the time but always a voice of reason when us young ones maybe pushed it a bit far! Really sad to hear of his passing and will miss his sensible and reasoned thoughts and posts online. RIP Andy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Ach - that's so sad for both families. Knew Andy a little bit - total gent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest superward Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Noticed on Dumbarton's site (found my way there via a link to Kenny MacLean signing for them) that we are playing them in a friendly on Saturday 26th June at 12pm. New season is nearly here already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might get to see what Max Johnston is all about with SOD being at the euros. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RostokMcSpoons Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 From the BBC Gossip page... Dundee United could move to sign Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper Liam Kelly ahead of Scottish Premiership rivals Motherwell, with whom the 25-year-old was on loan last season, but several English club are also keeping tabs on his situation. (Scottish Sun) Bah humbug 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bah humbug Now that would be a genuine pisser if he ended up at a rival as I think he was sincere in wanting to stay on - but it's times like this that the boring fact that we won't/can't over extend ourselves needs to be remembered and if Utd are willing (able?) to go further than us, there's nothing we can about it. Of course, if English clubs took notice of how well he did for us - then I doubt Utd will be able to compete either. In other news, surprisingly managed to get tickets on Friday for the Scotland game - so SOD needs to start today so that I've seen a 'Well player at a major tournament (I've stopped counting Gallacher). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 As much as I like and rate Kelly I find it hard to get that arsed about keeping/losing goalkeepers. Even though the existence of people like Aaron Chapman disprove this theory I still feel it's a lot easier to find a good goalkeeper at our level than other positions, relatively speaking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though the existence of people like Aaron Chapman disprove this theory I still feel it's a lot easier to find a good goalkeeper at our level than other positions, relatively speaking. I was thinking about that earlier. I mean, we've obviously had the bad old days of Samson, Hollis, Twardzik and Nielsen in fairly recent memory but, I could be wrong, it feels like a lot of that is down to how arsed the manager is. Obviously he lucked out initially as he inherited Randolph but was the story not that McCall delegated everything goalkeeper related to Marshall or something? Chapman was what he was, an emergency signing outside the transfer window in an extremely fucking weird season. If you look at our recent run of #1 goalkeepers then Carson > Gillespie > Kelly is pretty good. Even Baraclough signing Ripley was perfectly fine once he found his feet and McGhee benefitted from that in finishing top 6, it got fucked when we decided to just hand the gloves to the ginger prince because he'd been hanging around. IIRC Alexander signed Hladky for Salford so if nothing else I'd take that as a sign that he's at least switched on to the importance of a decent goalkeeper.

Casagolda Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 On recruitment, I recommend this weeks MFC podcast btw. Alan Burrows was on and discuss the state of things at the club currently. Such as why we’ve not been as busy as usual(yet) as well as the new recruitment process etc. Also heavy hints that Campbell is close to signing for an English Championship side. They also spend the first 20 mins or so talking about Andy P. Even as someone that didn’t know him outside of Steelmen Online, it was touching and lovely tribute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I didn’t know the MFC podcast was still a thing. Did it stop for a while and then start up again or something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowsdower Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 It's been pretty consistent, some of the panelists changed, but they bring out a new one every couple of weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
