    Well Deane showed more in 2 half-games than Ali Crawford did the whole loan spell. I trust Dougie and will see who he brings in but think its an opportunity missed

    Playong devils advocate here. Did he though?

    One assist....

  2. I'm ok with the decision not to offer any of the trialists a deal. Deane was the only one that I think couod have added something to the squad but I'm going to trust Dougies judgement and assume he has other targets. 

    Don't understand some of the outrage on twitter and pnb because we haven't signed Deane. Dougie has a very good record with signings.

    I just thought he was more of a passing footballer/baller than what we currently have. If we are looking to break down a team or chase a game Deane looked like a good option while Blues, Gillespie and Crawford are grafters. Appears size and the boys lack of Championship experience counted against him. 

    He does offer something different. Very much in the tidser mould. Perhaps Dougie wants another hardworking midfielder in rather than a ball playing midfielder although I do think Deane would have been a good alternative to Gillespie who he's very similar to but more mobile.

    Not seen much of the lad but cannot help but feel disappointed as he offered the one bit of class on Saturday to follow up his Alloa cameo. When you think of the players we already have in midfield Deane appeared to offer something different and no way would he have been an expensive signing. Last season we were never that creative hence struggled to break down teams so you just have to hope Dougie has an upgrade in mind. 

    Wondering if the 2 trialists Dougie has in this week has influenced this decision?

    The boy is a player but would he challenge blues, Gillespie and Crawford for a starting slot? I'm not sure.

    Imrie in the tele today saying that Doyle is just training and keeping himself fit and we aren't looking to offer him a deal. Also says he likes Deane and we are exploring possibility of a deal but his only concern about him is his height so we will see what happens. 

    Can get why Dougie would say that as I couldn't believe how fucking small he was when I saw him on Saturday. However he's definitely got ability. Will be interesting to see how he does against St.mirren if he plays

    Think I remember us breaking 1000 under the snake but they were discounted to £200 so was a complete no brainer to have one.

    Hopefully a couple of good signings before Ayr game and we can shift a few more.

     

     

    I'm hoping we have a few signings in before the skunks game.

    So what you're actually saying is that a man in his 60s was spending his time on this fan site just winding people up? Sorry, that sounds like he's just a wrinkly, sad old cunt. 

    Out of respect for the dead

    Is he dead?

    What is it with you a stripping captaincies?

    Not long ago it was the fictitious stripping of Strapp's captaincy (never club captain).

    He's a bellend. Probably a skunk or Partick fan in here to try and wind folk up.

    I'm not sure about that - I did not really follow him closely but according to flashscore he made 21 appearances for accies before going on loan to alloa where he played in every single match apart from their playoffs  (where he was presumably not allowed to play against his parent club).  I would be open to us bringing him in - I don't remember him being a standout during his time here but he was pretty solid, and realistically any replacement we get for Grimshaw is going to be a downgrade.

    Any ideas who the other keeper is?

    My mistake. 

    I assumed he was injured as I didn't see him in any accies squads.

    Michael Doyle has apparently been spotted training with us.  I know the gaffer said in his recent interview not to read too much into any new faces we see in training as he would be allowing some lads to come in to work on their fitness etc, but this one would actually make sense given our need for a RB (and if I’m not mistaken I’m sure he is able to play at CB too?).  

    Wouldn't be against us having a look but if I remember correctly he was injured for a lot of last season.

    Also see there's another gk in training too.

    So the deal was done but then he, or his agent, likely after Falkirk said they would give him a 2 year deal, tried to push for more and renegotiate with us but they were shot down in flames? So they fucked it and he ended up in League 1 playing for that rabble leaving him 'gutted'?

    What a wee shame.

    I did enjoy him tweeting, on the day Falkirk signed him, that he was gutted though...

    Looking forward to seeing him have a shiter of a season and lolkirk too

    Baird signs a contact extension until 2025. Delighted with that he was actually my player of the season last year and has come on leaps and bounds a real leader and I can see him only going strength to strength. Brilliant 

    Hopefully he's the first of many to extract their contacts.

    Imrie’s latest interview suggests Mullen is here as 1st choice keeper. Indicated 1 or 2 more signings and don’t look too much into who we see in training with us at the moment as he’s happy to allow players to come in for fitness purposes. 

    I took that as keeping his cards close to his chest. Typical Dougie which I'm fine with. 

    As Port-Ton said its not unusual for clubs at our level to hold off until later in the window to bring players in. I reckon we'll see a couple of players in the door to see us into the league Cup.

    Looking at the clubs around us the only players so far that I'd have liked us to sign are Jack Hamilton who went to Raith and Ruari Paton who's signed for QP. Plenty of time and plenty of players out there.

    So far, we can line up something like:

    Mullen

    Broadfoot O’Conner Baird Waters

    Blues Gillespie Crawford

    Muirhead Oakley Quitongo

     

    Bench - King, McGrattan, Garrity

    Got to assume a starting RB will be high on Dougie’s list. After that a wide forward? Another signing in the mould of Grimshaw that can cover a couple of defensive positions would be welcome too.

    We're actually quite light looking at that squad. 

    Need another gk, rb, cm and a winger at the very least.

    Perhaps another striker and a centre back too.

    Grimmy being linked with Dundee United. I'd be gutted if he signed for them 

    Edit- Dundee United twitter teasing a blurred out signing. It looks like him 🙈
