Welly boy Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 No hanging about with that signing!! Anyway good luck Shaun Rooney. 2 days after the last game of the season and I'm feeling depressed already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That league cup group is quite something. I hadn’t heard that at long last it looks like they’ve ditched the regionalisation. But it’s completely bitten us on the arse with some of the biggest trips we could get! Ayr, Queen of the South, Annan Athletic, Elgin City. Hopefully Annan is away to tick off a new ground. If it goes like before it'll be QOS and Elgin away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Full credit to Rooney who presumably agreed this move before the second leg, he never let us down so best wishes to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s written himself into the history books and has cult status secured. I suspect it’s not the last confirmed departure of the week, but hard to grudge him the move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to grudge any of the double winners a move, tbh, and you half wonder if a fresh slate is what this squad needs. Could end up with only Gordon and Wotherspoon remaining as a regular from before January, and even then you could argue Mahon is better and ageing returning from injury Wotherspoon could be improved on. Made this a while back as a bored look at what I'd like next season, it's fantasy stuff though and there wasn't huge thought into some of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saintee Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I make it he has a League Cup quarter final goal. A League Cup semi final goal. A League Cup final winning goal. A Scottish Cup final winning goal. A goal in each of the play off games. Definitely a legend! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I know the answer already, but what about for RB Jamie Hamilton? Still sticks out in my mind Davidson was at their game v Dunfermline back in January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Templar Saint Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 We could have lost him last year to Rotherham but Stevie Brown would not let him go cheap. Well done Chairman for giving us another year of the Bellshill Cafu. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even sure Hamilton was who he was watching then anyway, we were linked with Wighton too. Always assumed his compensation would be huge as presumably Hamilton offered him a deal, but not sure tbh.

If Davidson is still here next season and intent on playing the same formation, we desperately need more attacking wing backs. Now that Rooney's away, none of the options we have there are suitable in my view - they're all natural full backs being asked to play a role they don't look comfortable playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael O'Halloran or Drey Wright as alternative to Brown, is my guess of what he'd be thinking last Summer. Here's hoping he's changed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Certainly not surprised by Rooney's departure, I think it was clear from last summer that himself, McCart and Clark were going to run their contracts down. I don't enjoy seeing players from our league going down to play at a comparable level in England but in this case I'm glad he won't be lining up against us, for a couple of years at least. What is hard to replace isn't the right back, it's the ability of a player that rises to the biggest and most pivotal of occasions. He's actually not a very good defender but it became irrelevant because of what else he brought to the team. Time for Davidson to show he has the ability to secure a good replacement. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
