Benn meaning to ask for a while, what was the flag that was up at the home playoff final that looked like it had a train on it, not seen that one before in many years of watching airdrie?

Must admit I'd never heard of him till this week but going by the reports from Queen of the South and other Championship supporters it looks like another good bit of business by the club.

Someone mentioned Mendy on twitter the other day and it was pointed out that he’s not currently in the UK and is on holiday with his family so while I have no idea if he’s a player we’re after or have had discussions with, he certainly wasn’t training with the squad today if that is true.
Just had a nosey on his Instagram and he has posted a couple videos today & yesterday of him and his family on holiday.

I see a fella on the Facebook group confirming that there is a full squad training at broadwood this morning. Encouraging.
I see he mentions a couple of big lads in the squad. That's probably the one thing our team from last year lacked in a few games, was a bit of height.

Stuart Mathie deliberately teasing!
It must be a bit frustrating for the staff who actually are ITK. They're fans like us. They'll want to talk to their mates about players and stuff going on at the Club.

Good stuff, thanks for info. Sound s promising
I really expected some announcements at the end of last week. Must have checked that Twitter page about a thousand times hoping to see that pen.

Do you still think we have more signed than we have announced...
Yeah. Seems to be a lot going on in the background, not just with the first team. Obviously there have been a few rumours concerning Gow on here. I've heard we're starting up our youth development again. A friend of mine knows some young lad who signed a contract with them.

There are definitely more people training than have been properly photographed.
Check the arm to the right of the Fordyce photo.
And whoever is photographed with the number 7 shorts in the McCabe picture.

Is there no scope to develop the other pitch at Meadowbank?

The 1924 members need some kind of Brucey bonus, I don't actually mind it TBH, we'll all still get one either way, as you allude to.
Yeah it doesn't bother me, just seems a bit pointless.
With regards to the 1924 Club. As @Mr November says the members haven't received their tie/chiffon scarf. Obviously didn't happen last season due to Covid but memebers are also supposed to be invited up to some sort of open day with the kit launch and Q&A with directors & management.

Seems a bit OTT having a pre-sale. They expecting a sell out next season? lol

Cheers, it's the waiting it plays tricks with the mind.
My reply was to Shine On You Crazy Diamonds question on whether anymore signings had been made but not announced.
I'm not sure about Afolabi. I haven't heard any names.

Is this implying that other deals are basically done and just not announced? Because realistically the “player brought in” so far is Ballantyne and even though I’m very happy with his signature and the players we’ve kept from last season, it’s not really much of a squad yet from what’s been officially announced.Yeah.
As Kenny_m says training starts on Saturday. My guess would be the new players will check in later in the week with social media team there for interviews and photos.
They seem very upbeat about the work that's been done so I'm intrigued to see who we've got.

I suspect with training starting next Saturday there will be some announced then, perhaps before.
Yeah I think there will be a few announcements when the players check in later this week.
Think my guesses of potential moves for Broadfoot or Burke were well wide of the mark.
Club seem pleased with the players they're bringing in. They think this squad is an upgrade on last year's and are hopeful of going one better and winning the league.

FFC 1876 posted these stats from last season on the Falkirk thread.
Dylan Easton - 8 goals, 9 assists
Charlie Telfer - 5 goals, 8 assists
Luca Connell - 7 goals, 5 assists
Stefan Scougall - 4 goals, 8 assists
Fraser Fyvie - 8 goals, 2 assists
Grant Savoury - 6 goals, 4 assists
Scott Brown - 6 goals, 3 assists
Rhys Mccabe - 5 goals, 4 assists
Adam Frizzell - 3 goals, 5 assistsI know there is more to the game than just goals but I certainly think Telfer is someone we should be considering.

I also wondered about a couple of other ex-Rangers players who are looking for clubs. Kirk Broadfoot or Chris Burke (albeit McCabe would have been in the youth team when Burke was playing). But how would they feel being managed by someone quite a few years younger than them.

Plenty options available. Charlie Telfer maybe worth a shout.
Murray tried to sign him last year and I believe had spoken to him again before going to Raith.
McCabe and Telfer were at Rangers at the same time so be interesting to see whether he goes for him.

Yeh, there's no doubt that LMA, despite all the niceties has left us in this position with regards to players.
Craig Watson and Cammy Ballantyne have publicly stated that their deals were done prior to Rhys's appointment and perhaps others, so the lack of player signing's is unsurprising. No doubt IM had a list of targets with PH of which Rhys now has to review, delete and add to. He'll be very aware it's the one he needs to get right given the fact that his age has put him bang in the spotlight.
Friendlies, season tickets, kit etc yes we do seem to be a tad slow.
Friendly wise. We're taking part in that cup competition over at Broadwood again. I think it's Stirling Albion that's taking Clyde's place.
I heard there were some other deals done (other than Gabby no names) but haven't a clue why they haven't been announced. Hoping it's just folk on holidays rather than deals falling through due to change of manager.
This time of year is always frustrating. Must check the Twitter page every couple of hours hoping something pops up.

Paul Keegan is 37 but doesn’t appear to have played in a couple of years, the other one you are spot on. Just watched this years goalfest. Strikes absolute fear into me thinking about guys like these in place of Easton etc. hoping for good news this week
That's a different Paul Keegan. The one that played for us is 49.

I think you've hit the nail on the head, he needs to get his head out the clouds and just focus on playing football. All the stuff with his agent pushing articles in the press and trials here, there & everywhere are just a distraction. If he is good enough he would get the moves up the ladder naturally.
