    If I was Jaime Wilson, I’d be sitting out the last year of my contract as a full-time footballer, knowing no other club is ever going to sign me in that capacity again. Might as well while he can - can’t blame him for that.

    Aye likes of him, Holt and Seb Ross know there’s absolutely nae chance of getting another full time deal anywhere so will more than likely just sit tight and take the money for the year. I’d do the same if I was them.

    There’s not enough words to express just how ridiculous it was that we had Jaime Wilson on trial and still gave him a 2 year deal. Just a stunning piece of business.

    Any idea who your trialists have been? Reasonably good chance we’ll be sniffing about your potential cast offs.

    Aye we’ve had the young boy from Southampton who was brutal, Finn Yeats young boy released from Aberdeen who’s looked really good and I’m hoping we give him a new deal, Ethan Ross and a whole bunch of 16/17 year olds that will more than likely be looking to be signed for our under 18’s so not much for you guys to be potentially looking at.

    Is this about Ryan Williamson? If so, has he lost his pace? When he was with us, he had pace, but no footballing ability. If he’s lost that pace (probably not a huge surprise given his injury history), then I can’t see him resembling a footballer at all and you will definitely need a better option at RB.
    Think the league could be close this year. So far, not seeing much to split most of the squads. Probably comes down to who has the best manager/who gets the best loanees. You’ll certainly be up there challenging with McGlynn. But, similar to us, there will be concerns about the mentality/attitude of some of the players the new manager has inherited.

    I don’t think he’s quite lost that much pace but he’s got absolutely zero stamina. Does well to get forward in support then takes fucking ages to get back. Also when he does eventually get he’s a fucking rotten defender.

    Don’t know what’s so hard to believe about this all tbh. He clearly wants to play with McGlynn again and with his brother being here as well just seats the deal.

    Heard he’ll be playing as a trialist again for us against Stranraer tomorrow. Can’t wait to see him light it up again like he done the other night.

    Aye we can't be signing players on the back of them scoring two goals against a defence that consisted of Ryan Williamson at right back, a centre back pairing of Mackie & Mccann and an unknown youth trialist left back. That would be madness.

    It doesn’t change your point at all however it was Blair Sneddon that finished the game at left-back.

    I’d say that was very encouraging but of course it’s early days. First 75 minutes it was a decent competitive game and whilst I’ve no doubt Lillie could’ve upped the levels if needed it was very even. Then we both started making changes and that’s when we started getting dominated. The fact that we played the last 10 minutes with Leon McCann and Sean Mackie as our centre half partnership just tells you all you need to know about our lack of available depth.

    Brad McKay and Steven Hetherington both put in probably their best performances since joining, trialist #14 looked very tidy and is definitely worth another look and Sean Mackie was our best player imo. Thought Gary Oliver had a really good game as well didn’t have a sniff of goal really but led the line well, good link up play and was pinning Ash Taylor well. None of the subs looked up to much, the wee #21 tried so fair play to him but he’s absolutely tiny. The trialist striker #9 is utterly brutal though. Looked like he’d never played football before.

    Decent watch so far. Makes a change watching a Falkirk team playing some decent stuff. Clearly we’re still 5 or 6 players short plus the 4 out injured but encouraging nonetheless. Trialist in midfield looks very tidy on the ball very impressive performance so far from him. Captain McKay has played well enough as well still can’t pass the ball but defended a lot better than we seen from him last season and Sean Mackie had a great first half playing out of position at centre back.

    Second half is going to be some laugh when we bring on all the wee boys for a runabout.

    Another decent signing for Queens in Ciaran McKenna. Thought he was decent with us apart from that farce with Edge against Morton. 

    He started off well when we played a back 3 and he had Dixon next to him but then faded badly.

    He’s probably slightly better than Brad McKay but still garbage.

    I see we are only getting 500 tickets for the Bonnyrigg game. First game there so a lot of fans will want tickets for this one (myself included). 
    I hope the club put them on sale at a decent time and not a weekday morning where most people are at work.
    Edit to add:
    It would be a good idea to put them on sale next Friday evening if the club have them by then. Would possibly convince a few more to attend the game.

    Nah it’s a league game group stage game on a Wednesday night in the middle of the summer when a lot of people will probably be on holiday. If you want a ticket you’ll get one.

    a lot of good kids at Dundee United ?  been linked with Chris Mochrie a few times, would you take Fotheringham back ?

    I’d definitely take Mochrie. He was always very impressive when I seen him at Montrose last season. With Fotheringham I really wouldn’t want him back. He was young but he just looked like a boy and didn’t show anything when he was with us. Like a younger Seb Ross.
