nofixedability Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Kinda torn on Meechan, he is super consistent but as the Annan game showed there is better out there. He is under contract though so would think Clyde would have to pay something for him. See Airdrie have released Jordan Allan, worth putting an offer in again as that is the type of striker we could be doing with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good player and we need right back would take him at LP 100%. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridie Vision Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I can't see Gary letting Meechs go on the cheap, not unless Ross has a long chat with him. Meechan is a good player, he's never going to be a star man but he will always do his job and do it well 90% of the time. Would be sad to see him leave but for a more reasonable work/life/football balance it's understandable. Slight tangent: That's the issue with Angus (I know we're not as bad as Elgine for example) not many good footballers live in the Tayside area, so most signings are players who live in Glasgow/Edinburgh or within the M8/M80 region and therefore travelling almost 2 hours there and back twice a week after work, it's a heck of a commitment, and can often be a reason for turning down an Angus team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be Monday at St Andrew's University and Thursdays at Station Park, not sure if that's still the case? But even St Andrew's is still a long journey for a Glasgow based player (for example). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridie Vision Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Jim Weir is back in work. He's announced as Elgin's Assistant Manager. It's almost poetic, Gavin was Jim's assistant until Jim came to us. Gavin was given the head job and now Jim is his assistant! Forfar news is so slow that I've now resorted to bringing Elgin news to us. Irvine must have a lot of faith in this squad - or nobody wants to join because Forfar is too far away (as discussed on this thread the last few days). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoonsYouthTeam Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Nice to see something a bit different, expect that'll be 3 tough games although no idea what to expect from the soccer side, could be an absolute doing for either side.Still no signings, and I haven't seen any word on either Jamie Ness or Lewis Sanderson, unless I've missed it? They're both on the squad list on the official site but I'd be very surprised if Ness stayed. Happy to see Sanderson stay as cheap back up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly more interesting than say Formartine United or another Highland League team like we usually have a friendly against. We certainly have a chance against Dunfermline and Alloa, although to win all 3 friendlies will be a tough ask I reckon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacement right back now our number one priority in my opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafc1885 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Makes sense if he can’t commit with his work schedule. The fact he told Irvine by the time the season ends surely means Irvine must have a replacement lined up? Or just anyone? I’ll take Bryan Duell at this point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridie Vision Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Meechs will certainly be missed, seems like a really genuine guy. Assuming he'll cruise to the WoS title with Darvel next season as they do a Kelty & Cove and likely steam roll to L1. It is worrying that there's not even been a whisper of a rumour who we might be after. At this rate next season we'll have Gary Irvine at RB and Gary Harkins at CM! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig fae the Vale Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Mrs The Hunter went to the University of Washington, and I follow all their teams, so I'm very much looking forward to a wee trip up to Forfar after work that night to see them in action for the first time. Only been to Station Park for a woman's game before, so looking forward to a return visit as well. The Huskies are a very decent side in college soccer, but no idea how that will translate to playing a League Two team. They have had a few players drafted to the MLS in the past few years so I'd assume they'll be pretty strong, but will definitely be interesting to see how it pans out. See you all in four weeks! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
