Think Robbo, Barron and Thomson will stay put.

 

Happy with the rest for starters though. Had my doubts as to wether Belford would sign or not. If he can keep cut his stupid antics out he'd be up there with the best in the league.

Cammy and Max the 2 keepers re signed..

I believe there is more to come tonight from StairPark

Another good capture made by your manager - not a player mind you -

but bringing in Stuart Wild to run the Under-20 team. Came in after

the turn of the year, and played a huge part in your Under-20s 

finishing higher up the league than they did last season( bottom),

I know Stuart very well. Had some great footballing teams at

Renfrew Vics over many a season, was involved at Kilmarnock for

some seven years, and is a former Sunday Mail Grassroots Coach

of the Year. Knows his stuff and will improve the work ethic of those

players even further.

Hopefully David MacGregor will be good for the club too.
Always seemed like the type that would go down that route, if there is a type.
Is Tommy Turner still involved?

$tranraer at it again. So money.


Committee members Alex Connor and David Broadfoot are pretty big players in the Stranraer domino scene. The pair are apparently under investigation for having side bets on the go and large wagers against their opponents during matches in the local Thursday night league.
It's alleged the two have laundered some of their winnings through the club, acting as the benefactors.
Never a dull moment in the Stranraer boardroom.

Anyone heard word on next seasons kits? Think we have another season with the home and away kits but had two seasons out of our third kit. Bit fed of Stanno. Some of the training/leisure wear has been decent but quality of the tops has been poor. Material nice enough but sponsor and Stanno badge on the sleeves seem to come off easily.

Morgyn Neill has signed. Craig Malcolm moving on. Kassarate in talks.

Partick Thistle friendly confirmed for 4th of July at Lochinch Playing Fields.

All the above on the official website.

Last season's kit is the nicest we've had from Stanno by a long way. Would imagine we're sticking with them for now but I'd love something a bit more classic/simple.

You've got yourselves a really decent player in Tom Lang, as any of you who read our thread will know I'm a massive fan of his, and was gutted we didn't keep him on.

He's a proper modern centre-half. Hugely confident on the ball and good with it at his feet. He's rapid and decent in the air too, and I've no doubt has the ability to play at a higher level than both of our clubs.

Pair him up with a rugged, old-fashioned leader of a centre-back and I reckon he'll be a big hit. He may have only played a few hundred minutes for us, but I was impressed. His only start came in a 4-0 home win against Raith Rovers, and he absolutely strolled it. Him and Darren Barr worked together absolutely perfectly.

His family are good people too. His Dad was a regular in our away end, and seemed to enjoy the whole Sons' fan experience.

Good luck to him, I hope it works out well and my gut instinct is proven right :)
