Well I'll compensate with another piece of positivity then. He's a left footed central defender and there aren't a lot of good ones going around. That's another point in his favour and it probably featured in Danny's thinking. He does like to play out from the back and being able to go out to both sides would be an improvement. McNiff didn't help much with that. I'll also say that, as I remember him, Balatoni's quite good at reading the game. That's something we lost with Lang. And he isn't a timid defender in the way that some of the more technically gifted central defenders are these days. Like I say, if we could get a right good aerially dominant centre back to play beside him it could actually be a good bit of business. Edited June 15, 2021 by Clydeside Correction: can play with his left (not left footed). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see some websites listing him as right footer. However, I'm absolutely certain he's good with his left. I should've put it that way in the first place. I had a wee poke around the net there because you had me doubting. There's a highlight reel from his time at Thistle which confirms my memory. Plenty of right and left footed dribbles, passes and interceptions. Quite an underrated positive attribute that. Some of his predecessors couldn't dribble with either foot.

If you are looking for a player that can run for about 15 minutes before blowing out his arse then he is ideal has ability. good game 1/10 matches but always unfit and clearly no intention of getting fit, the reason he was released Scored a couple of nice goals last season but no one that upset he is gone.. I probably would have kept him as a squad player but won’t lose sleep over it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to do with their management team jumping ship to Dumbarton that made Lamont want to cancel his move I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingo ohne Flamingo Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Genuinely surprised at Lamont getting a gig at Alloa. Cracking wee guy and when on his game, a terrific wee player. Unfortunately he only turns it on now and again and lastly his fitness is a fucking shambles for a professional football player. I wish the lad all the best of luck but I can't see him and Ferguson getting on well after a few weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde85 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Am happy with Balatoni was always impressed with him when we played edinburgh. A threat from set pieces an all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replays Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I’m away at a caravan during the Broadwood Cup and frankly, I’ve never been more upset to miss a pre-season friendly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpaty Lviv Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 As I’m neither a season ticket holder nor club owner, I doubt I’ll be able to get a ticket. At home to Albion Rovers. In a fucking friendly. What has the world came to 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even having 480 folk in your rather large main stand is farcical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 We also need to wear face coverings throughout. Absolutely bonkers sitting with a face mask on when outside. I'd absolutely love to know the justification for that (I appreciate it probably has nothing to do with Clyde). Meanwhile they're letting full capacity crowds at baseball in the USA, no masks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
