port-ton Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 A trial is a trial at the end of the day so I'm not too fussed. Perhaps Dougie liked how forward he was and decided to give him a chance. From what I have gauged online from twitter and his YouTube channel documenting his trials etc, he got his first pro contract at 27, is now 30 and has been relegated at his last 3 clubs Good people will do good things, bad people will do bad things, but only with religion do good people do bad things!

If we can get him signed up cheap - he was playing in Wales so I don't imagine he'd be on much - I don't think being 4th choice centre back would be an awful bit of business. I reckon Imrie/Millen (seems like he meets Andy in a video) probably liked his hunger to show what he's got. Not saying we should sign him but another potential comedy character to add to the list. Edit: hat trick for him against Annan tonight. Edited July 4, 2023 by ChampTon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazza Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I was disappointed to read in the Tele that Dougie reckons Airdrie can offer players more than us this season. Think we have maybe lost out on someone to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunning1874 Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I obviously have no prior knowledge of this guy and how he actually played at that level, but if you're not good enough for the Welsh Premier then you're not good enough for Scotland's League Two. 1 Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Oh Lord, Brian Wake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRVMP Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Based on the highlights I posted in the Championship thread he's absolutely miles off it and shouldn't be anywhere near a Championship club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds promising.

He might actually have a slightly better goal scoring record than Roy and hasn't played in Ireland. Sorry, he's definitely an upgrade. But he's likely more being signed as a replacement for Miller. So, 4 signings in - we haven't made one apparent upgrade to our team yet. Maybe Mullen will be excellent, maybe Boyd will score and assist a combined 25 goals. But so far, our signings have been utterly underwhelming. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
port-ton Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Not going to doubt any Dougie signing without seeing him play, especially one he has played with and knows personally. If he thinks Boyd is good enough then I happy with it. 2 Good people will do good things, bad people will do bad things, but only with religion do good people do bad things!

Steven Boyd. Can't say I even remember him. He also said our budget is basically the same as last season. His point was more than other teams have come in to the league and offer more than us for competing players but he also said that about the teams who left the league and we managed to field a strong squad by the end of the season that could compete with any of them. 1 Good people will do good things, bad people will do bad things, but only with religion do good people do bad things!

HamCam Posted July 4, 2023 Author Share Posted July 4, 2023 I was hoping after last season the improved sponsorship deals, more MCT members and higher season tickets would allow us to kick on but so far most signings look to be a downgrade. Boyd scored one goal in over 40 games last year so prospects for him sharing the load appear slim. I also struggle with the Airdrie pay more than us chat, it does not stack up unless they are spending more than you would expect them to bring in. Hopefully a run in the cup will dispel my negativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Boyd. Can't say I even remember him. This surprises me too, but lets remember that crowd size & money in the bank may not necessarily translate into higher budget. It's possible that we are being cautious with the budget we give the manager this season where others may be sailing a bit closer to the wind in terms of spending. In other words, having a lower budget doesn't mean we can afford less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully a run in the cup will dispel my negativity. Suppose a lot of it depends on how they are "spinning" season ticket sales. Have we actually taken money for 1000 season tickets or, have we taken money for, let's say, 750 season tickets with 250 under 12 tickets. That would make a fair difference to the actual income.

port-ton Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Also the initial dalrada investment was supposed to help see us through until the end of next season so the club should really be making sure that we have a decent amount of the profits from last season saved up should a second round of that investment fail to materialise, given how perilous the finances seemed before they came on board. A similar playing budget to last season, improving infrastructure at the club and hopefully we hear something about the space purchased behind the cowshed going in to the league season is all still a reason to feel pleasantly hopeful going in to the new season. 2 Good people will do good things, bad people will do bad things, but only with religion do good people do bad things!
