Bring Your Own Socks Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) 14 hours ago, NavyBlueArmy1876 said: Good to see the interior designer practice has been chucked and a proper Architect now in place Plenty of space to stick a larger stand behind the other goal and could always redevelop the east side again if needed to give a total capacity of around 4000. A shame about the farmhouse getting knocked down but still a big improvement on the original design. As you can see from the drawings put up, Holmes Miller appear to be only involved in this application which covers the South & East stands, moving the pitch and floodlights. The West stand and refurbishment of the Pavillion isn’t mentioned in HMs design brief to the Council. Those areas are still applicable to the application submitted by Arka Design Studios. Talking of which, somebody’s put their dukes up re the farmhouse. Asking for a halt to works and the farmhouse to be reinstated. The application is still at Consideration status. https://publicaccess.glasgow.gov.uk/online-applications/files/89EB641D998643C1BF12194E9A2DC9B1/pdf/21_02646_FUL-MR_ANDREW_NORTHWAY-295_TANTALLON_ROAD__LANGSIDE__GLASGOW_G41_3JW-OBJECTS_FULL_-5170525.pdf Edited January 14, 2022 by Bring Your Own Socks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he or she is getting out of jail then. Any ideas? Steve Clarke. He's just waiting until we lose to Ukraine in the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qpfc Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Jack Thompson signs a new 18 month deal. Can’t say I’m over the moon with that. He’s a decent enough player at league 1 level but hasn’t shown enough for me this season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Willing to give Thomson the benefit of the doubt for now, the whole team has been so poor for such a long time that it's really difficult to judge. He did have a couple of decent games to be fair, and Beuker has spent his whole career developing young players (very successfully) so he must see something in him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree; shown promise in patches, if we can develop his talents who knows what can be achieved. On the manager front, I had heard the name Ian Cathro mentioned; that might be one too many laptops in the background for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arachnophile Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 We desperately need someone to score goals. if you take away the freak 6-0 Falkirk game where we benefitted from extraordinary generosity from the Bairns, only 2 teams have scored less goals than us. McHugh is not the answer. Murray is not the answer. Baynham might be at least a partial answer ... if he is ever fit. Our 3 top scorers (Longridge, McHugh & Connell) have 14 goals between them the same as Goodwillie & only one more than Rory Gallagher & Graham Webster. Plain & simple, we need a striker - either that or play Charlie Fox up front!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be no worse than what we have available at the moment. I think, in retrospect that Baynham and Quitongo were the most important losses for us this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Fox should be first choice at centre half, even with everyone fit. Sign an actual striker, rather than a guy who has scored two goals in his entire career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

an86 Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Half price sale on the kits coming soon, which I assume means new ones next season. Admiral stuff is cracking, so I hope we stay with them and the away shirt is exactly the sort of thing we need to do to get some publicity/make some dosh. Would be happy enough if we made imaginative/mental/daft away kits our thing. Failing that, pair up with a worthy cause. The home one should remain as simple and classic as possible. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CathcartSkins Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Having a reliance on one or two front men to score the goals is dependent upon the style of play. More often nowadays the attacking midfielders are expected to chip in with more goals. On saturday we had a Bob McHugh assist for example. Coupled with service to the strikers being very poor in recent weeks. Perhaps we may see more expectation of the goals to be spread around. The Dutch influence will be interesting; switching to a 4-3-3 on Saturday being the obvious example and it is a more flexible system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Your Own Socks Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Not sure how innovative this is in the global arena but it’s a long leap away from Scottish grassroots football. Some enlightened nations also apply this philosophy to education i.e. let kids enjoy learning without exams. In all studies of these types of behaviours, the longer term output is successful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the Admiral contract finishes at the end of this season. Likely to be Macron under Dempster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
