One of the best local lads the club had is away, he is one I would have bet on to stay, looks like there might be an even bigger rebuild needed ... All the best to him, a lot of potential and 2 good feet! Sad to see him go

Agreed, had a feeling he’d had stayed. Sad to see him move on. No word on Phil addison yet, if he’s away it’s a whole new squad coming in I think.

that would be a disaster, arguably they already had the best local talent at the club and if they all go the ethos is already out the window

Tommy Paterson now away to VoL as well. Thought he’d have stayed with him being a local lad 

Tommy was managing the disability squad for Gala this season too. 

Something definitely not right.

Not a peep from the club and another good player away. Letting other clubs announce they have signed your players and not thanking them for their services on a successful season is poor. Other clubs are spot on with announcing who has arrived and left their squads. Gala sound like a complete shambles from what it sounds like.

If it helps the folk on here the club have signed

Bonnar, McBride, Berry from the Vale and Herdman who was on loan at Coldstream has returned. 

Also two young lads from Kelty 20's have signed who were previously at Tynecastle.

Out so far

Baxter - Spartans

Cunningham - Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale

Smith - Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale

Paterson - Vale of Leithen

Stevebson - Tynecastle

Donaldson - Sunday Football

Not confirmed but from what's been doing the rounds is

Watson - Spartans/Penicuik

Miller - Berwick/BSC

Main - CSS

Scullion - ?

Thanks for the info - at least they are signing some players. For what it’s worth, I believe  a young lad from a Pumpherston and another young lad from Oakley juniors have agreed to sign (unsure when these will be announced). 

 

Disappointed looking at the list of exits, every single one would’ve been a good addition for the club for the coming season.

Plus the 2 from hibs, and the other keeper ... 13 players from a squad is inconceivable from 4 weeks ago, you’d have been looking at keeping the majority and adding a couple.

Not one player from last year has went to a better team. Says a lot for the ambition and  quality. 

Surprised to see Tommy take such a huge step backwards to the Vale which probably goes down to immaturity  

maybe they have found their place in football  good riddance for the shameful way they have treated the club. 

Onwards and upwards Gala !!

Are you trying to say that Spartans are not a better team than Gala in the case of Baxter?

Like many many many many football clubs they relieves the Manager of his duties my comment is about the loyalty of the players towards the club and the backward step the majority, not all, have made. 

Love your hatred towards the club though Archie.

Tbh he’s got a point... why else would all these players CHOOSE to play at ‘lesser’ clubs? They ALL lack ambition? Or do they know this new chairman and co are going to screw over one of the most loved and recognised non-league clubs in Scotland?

I don’t know anyone involved, but I can guarantee you one thing, all these players wouldn’t be leaving en-mass if their wasn’t something very toxic and damaging contributing to their decisions to leave GFR...

Come on, mate.

That's not fair,

Players could have been told to leave for all we know. But that's the issue, we don't know anything yet, cos the club have remained silent.

Tommy is one of the nicest guys in the league and did a lot for GFR this season with managing the disability squad. To say he's taking a huge step backwards or is immature by returning to Vale (the team he started at) is a bit too far. 

I know Vale are rivals but they look like they putting  a team together.

I hope GFR do well, but the worry is they have been out of sorts since the season ended even after Dean Shanks was shown the door. The way the club have conducted itself is not the norm we are used to.

What defines a better team??is it based on last years squad or next years?? on last years squad outwith spartans yes lesser clubs but next years all but 1 team from the list will be stronger than Gala!
At this level players sign for people not clubs and the coaching staff had that network. only shameful part of all of this is Gala's shocking decision! Unfortunately some people won't appreciate what they had intill the end of the season.
Manager goes to East Kilbride and looking like coaching staff could be ok their way to Edinburgh city ...
Not bad moves for the guys

Tbf, the ‘coaching staff’ you refer to consists of the Edinburgh City chairman’s son and a couple of his mates 🤷🏻‍♂️
