MorayCup Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Assuming that we've signed him to play Centre Back, I think it's a decent signing, he was excellent in that position against us in April and Edinburgh City fans were raving on here about his performances at the back for them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgin15 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I thought Beattie was fantastic playing at the back against us earlier this season and I'm always a fan of having an experienced core to the team which hopefully he and McGovern can provide. Happy with the business the club has done so far although I would agree with a previous poster in regards to Mcleish. Technically decent and works very hard, but not a proven goalscorer and lacks a bit of size. Would definitely prefer someone different to partner Shane for the whole season but pleased to keep Mcleish as a squad player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 To any City fans, and indeed any fans, interested, I've started a post on the Highland League forum on the petition to reinstate Elgin as Highland League champions 1992-93. The petition itself is at https//tinyurl.com/Elgin93 and I'm keen to get some debate going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom & Gerry Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I’ve signed. Worst decision in HFL history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie78 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I miss trips to Elgin, would love to see you come up. Josh Skelly has been offered a contract by you lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom & Gerry Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 About time we had a right go. We have the nucleus of a decent squad, just need a few decent additions in the right positions. What position does Skelly play? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afca32 Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 Striker who can play out wide I think. Has scored v us in the past. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorayCup Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Think it was last week's Northern Scot that said Reilly is probably off with Raith Rovers one of the clubs interested. On one hand he'll be a huge miss as he's undoubtedly far too good for League Two but on the other hand it ends the dilemma of trying to accommodate him, JP and Soapy into the same team and will hopefully mean we'll get the best out of Soapy in the middle of the park where he belongs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie78 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Striker who can play out wide I think. Has scored v us in the past. When he initially signed on loan in January 2015 he played up top, but under Campbell he has played on the wing. I think there’s a player in there if you can keep him fit. He’s had 2 separate hamstring injuries this season and has barely played. Think he struggled a bit fitness wise with the change from full to part time football as well. Need a run of regular games at this stage of his career. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to Reilly if he is off to full time football, did a good job for us scored some excellent goals and still has time to make it at a higher level. Like you say Cameron has to be in the middle of the park as him playing wide right or up front, whilst he has the ability to do it, just doesn't work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorayCup Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Really hope he didn't knock back a shot at full time football to sign for Forfar, what a waste of talent if so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I thought he was more than capable of stepping up a level..I'm not really sure Forfar are up a level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon9736 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Declan Byrne signed on for another season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom & Gerry Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Same League as Forfar. As I’ve said before decent player but not consistent enough. There is no way he is a full time player, not quick enough, not big enough. Decent enough signing for Forfar though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom & Gerry Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Think there is a player in Byrne if he is given a run in the team. He has plenty of pace and would like to see him playing wide left/right in a midfield 4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His opportunities were a bit limited last season but would like to see him given a chance to stake a claim. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
