Mr November Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 McCann’s a good player and I’m disappointed to lose him but can’t argue with him taking a three year deal, something we can’t offer anyone. He’s a loss but he’s not irreplaceable, while he’s a downgrade I’m happy enough with Quitongo as a replacement. It’s a shame he’s moved to a team in our league but can’t criticise him for taking the security of a three year deal. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLDiamond Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Gutted to be losing McCann but wasn’t unexpected. Was really hoping he would make the move up to Championship level but the 3 year deal at Falkirk makes sense and I’m sure they sold it to him with the vision of being in a different league come 2022. But sometimes that doesn’t work out.. undoubtedly Falkirk have the best defender in the league but I still feel fairly good with how things are shaping up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb_diamond Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Embarrassing stuff as usual on the supporters Facebook group. McCann is bang average and no great loss apparently. Some of these people are tuned to the moon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that I would have preferred him to stay as he is pretty decent at league 1 level but I'm convinced he would struggle in the Championship. Good luck to him though as no doubt he has had a substantial wage increase. Turner didn't have his greatest games but he couldn't carry the team on it's own, again! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right about Turner, McCann would have been better to have had another year with us, good player just now but that year would have made a big difference, good luck to him anyway, except against us, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then on the flip side you have the usual doom mongers who’d have you think it’s the worst thing that could ever have conceivably happened in our entire history.

G_H Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 *sigh* Imagine losing a player to that shower. Right, so, I'm sure a few of you will get your knickers in a twist over this assessment: GK: Cantley: Never made a first team appearance, not really expected to Currie: OK, fine. But is this his level? Def: Fordyce: Strong centre back Kerr: Upgrade on Crighton if he can stay fit Quitongo: Finished 9th, downgrade on previous LB, notable step backwards Walker: Developing. Not as good as McKay. Wardrop: Says he is a winner, finished 9th. Watson: From another team that finished in the bottom half of the table, 6th this time. Mid: Agnew: Aging but also fills a roll as Assistant Manager. Didnt have a great 2nd half of season, is he done? Team he came from finished 6th Easton: Known to blow hot and cold, can be an exciting player or a waste of space. Which one we are getting by the sounds of things is on a game by game basis. Lots of goals last season, but lowland league. Frizzell: Finished 9th. Doesn't seem to have done much of anything since leaving kilmarnock. McCabe: I have a sheff wednesday fan who is a member of my team at work, so asked him about McCabe, and the answer was "player who thinks he is better than he actually is". Can Murray motivate McCabe into being that quality player that he should have about him? I don't really think Murray wins the motivation game very often tbh. Richie: Quite an anonymous player for someone who is there to provide utility Robert: Murray hasn't developed him any further towards his supposed potential unfortunately. Has glimpses of quality, but still needs to handle the physical game much better than at present. People seem to think he is off, so? Atk: Allan: Couldnt get a game in a team that were relegated. Gallagher: Will score goals if he gets service Pyott: Tea maker extrordinaire??? This squad as it stands looks like a mid table squad at best, and certainly wont have me rushing out to buy a season ticket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapelhall chap Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I will wait to see how our squad actually plays before I lose the plot and for the time being I will watch some boring internationals. McCann is a good L1 player at present so best of luck to him with what looks like a better contract/money-it's what most players seek as a career if FT or as a good add if you play PT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLDiamond Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Don’t know about anyone else but after that result today and the impending implosion of the Scotland team (I’m trying to stay positive but been here too many times before) I’m more than ready to get focused on the upcoming season. Thinking today’s game probably prevented some transfer and signing activity but hoping tomorrow there may be more to talk about. Don’t know if anyone has heard any more rumours, expecting another signing this week though. Especially with pre-season right around the corner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also made Blair Henderson look like prime Gabriel Batistusta in the League Cup group game. And we only ended up playing Paul McKay at the back and thus ended the season with the back three so Murray could do literally anything other than play Mbayo An utterly pointless signing - for the club and the player. What a waste of time moving all the way up from Truro for probably no more than 90 minutes over an entire season! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
