Best Team in Angus Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Signing confirmed The club can confirm that the latest addition to the squad is 20 year old striker Ross Crawford who joins the club from Sauchie where he ended the season as the junior sides top scorer. Ross agreed terms with the club prior to the friendly against Dundee on Saturday and featured as a trialist in the first half against the Dark Blues. The big striker will look to be a real handful for defences with his aerial presence this coming campaign. The former Falkirk youth worked under former City striker Iain Diack at Sauchie and his his goals helped the club secure promotion to the East of Scotland Premier Division last season. Manager Barry Smith, who has had his eye on Crawford for some time, commented, "We have been monitoring Ross since January and we have been impressed with him in pre-season." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason King Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Saw him play a couple of times for Sauchie, staggered he's got a move to the SPFL - he's one of those players who somehow manages to make the peak of his jumps about 3ft below the top of his head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gm_1982 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 According to EOS website he isn't even in the top 24 league scorers for last season or the top 20 scorers in all competitions. "junior sides top scorer" how thick are these guys From Alloa advertiser. So was he or wasn’t he top scorer for Sauchie? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason King Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) Sauchie arent a Junior club though is the point Gogsy is making, they are a Senior club playing in exactly the same pyramid as Brechin. Indeed come May 2020 and both teams could fnd themeselves at Level 5 in the pyramid. Edited July 3, 2019 by Jason King 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm_1982 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Referred to as ‘Sauchie Juniors’ on their official website, facebook and twitter so most folk would be none the wiser tbh... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason King Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 The club may have Junior in the official name but so does Boca and no one would think they were a Junior club. Embarrassing not to know what level a club you are signing players from actually plays at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some clubs are named as such, Tranent Juniors another. It’s still lazy as f**k to suggest they are a junior side regardless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underpar Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) Who gives a feck " Junior or not " , " Cough cough " or not . Couldnt give a toss . What will be will be . One thing is for sure he'll either storm it and be the answer . Or be like some of the other forwards we've had in recent years ( cough cough ) . Best of luck to him . How many signed players do we have now ? Edited July 3, 2019 by underpar spelling 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright we need some numbers in still, but let’s get behind Barry for now at least? Looking forward to seeing a few of these guys in action on Friday night against Utd. Crawford didn’t get a lot of the ball against Dundee, unsurprisingly but he looked like he could be a handful and I was impressed by Luke Watt. Plus Paddy, Dougie and McCord should be more than capable at L2 level. [edit - McManus obvs knows his way to goal as well, assuming his legs can still get him there] Hope to see one or two more promising new faces tomorrow as well. Am also in the market to be referred for my first season ticket. If any existing STH wants to befriend me (!) and claim their £20, drop me a DM Edited July 4, 2019 by Infirmary Street 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm_1982 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Don’t think we are going to learn too much from the friendlies. All about getting the fitness up and making a few quid off sizeable away supports. Hopefully like the Dundee game we can keep it respectable.We’ll have a real gauge of where we are at against the likes of Forfar and Montrose in the Betfred and even then it’ll take these players a while to gel with still another 6/7 to come in surely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
