Deanburn Dave Posted June 6, 2021 Author Share Posted June 6, 2021 Last season was a bit Meh due to the effect Covid had on Fitbaw. Max and the committee had their hands tied on refreshing the squad as it would have been foolish to have splashed cash when nobody knew what effect Covid would have on the season getting played, fan attendance and cash flow. This season I think we are all feeling cautiously optimistic that we may get back to something closer to normality.Although several of the new signings have still to be officially announced (because they are still under contract until end June) there's indications that Max has been busy and has brought in quality players. Reckon the BU's will be one of half a dozen clubs who will compete for the title this season. I am certain Max will be expecting big things from the squad.Fingers crossed that we get some luck in the cup draws and we see some memorable games. Mon the BU's !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so. We have an experienced central spine, in Murphy, Hunter, Gemmell, Locke & Miller. Add Grant, Stevenson & Anderson and the new boys and you see that Max has assembled a quality squad that 'could' seriously challenge. Will be a long way from recent years, where the bench has normally been comprised of cripples and pensioners 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boheesian Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 If all the speculation on incoming players bares fruit plus the remnants of last years squad then it will be season to look forward to. The further relaxation of the COVID restrictions will allow us to return Newtown and hear the mellow tones of encouragement from Jamboness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to start lubricating the vocal chords, I suppose. Wouldn't want to let you down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And mistaking chord for cord is not a spelling error. Just because something shapes sound doesn't mean the word to describe it is the same as the one for a harmonious set of musical notes.

As I said, describes exactly what emits from Jambo on match days. BTW I 'm sure everyone else was clear as to what Jambo meant even with the added h. Makes it a spelling error but no error in the meaning of the post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course a ligature round the throat - a piece of cord - would definitely alter the chords. Simples 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you have made it so clear that you are the righteous one, I do hope that you will now visit every thread on every forum and pass on your wisdom to everybody that has made an error, in your eyes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you used spellcheck before posting. Some strange people trawling this topic, obviously had a misspelt youth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
