Good luck to him - hope he finds a L1 or more likely L2 side and does well. -

How many seasons did we sell last season? When you compare that number to the likes of Dunfermline shifting over 2000 over a week ago it puts some of the budget / signing complaints into a bit of perspective -

I'm sure I bought a copy of that which had been burned onto a CD in the build up to the 2002 Cup Final haha -
The Pelé Podcast - Andy Graham
Hursty replied to Francesc Fabregas's topic in Scottish League 1 General Chatter
Happy to admit that at the age of 34 the Paddy Boyle one was the first (and second) podcast that i've ever listened to. Absolutely brilliant stuff, and i've downloaded most of the other ones now too, will pass the time on the X77 for a couple of weeks. Brilliant work and looking forward to the ones to come. -

Would like to see a keeper and a left back in for pre season starting - assuming both of them are of a good standard then i'll be fairly content with the squad, especially if McDaid signs. In a perfect world i'd have liked to see Ferguson upgraded, especially after letting Reid go, but doesnt seem too likely. I may be totally wrong but I don't think the defence itself was the major issue last year on its own - for me a lot of the problems were down to a serious lack of confident in whatever keeper was playing (and basic errors from said keepers) plus all the problems in the middle of the park as well meaning defence had very little protection. I'm actually more worried about relying on Doc in there - if he ends up missing a couple of months (fairly likely based on prior) then there's a big gap in there. -

Had forgotten about Higgins! Thats a bonus if he's back. Geggan was never fit from about November, wasnt sure if it was just a case of constantly trying to come back too fast, or something that needed a wee operation etc. -

Talking about full backs - has there been any word on Geggan injury wise? -

Hursty replied to D'Jaffo's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Was just about to post and say the exact same thing - if we are planning on playing the likes of McDaid (if he signs) / McGuffie / Forrest out wide plus 2 strikers then we really need the full backs to be solid defenders first and foremost. -

There will be - I can't imagine many of us had heard of McDaid when we signed him for example. It's just a case of finding them! -

I'd have taken Fleming ahead of Hart but would prefer McCrorie to Fleming. -

Livi manager Hopkin resigned today so would all of a sudden seem a very risky move... -

Interesting q&a with Lachlan posted on the SRE facebook page. Finances still a worry - plus he's said he isn't making any more donations. We really need to get the crowds up. Massive that we start well this season - I know quite a few folk same age as me who have stopped playing amateur / junior who are talking about going next season but obviously havent been regulars for 15 odd years - need to get folk like that hooked in. -

You'd imagine we would want to sign Hart again, otherwise we are in the market for 2 keepers, one probably unproven and cheap as a backup. At least we know what he can do - id be perfectly happy having him as sub keeper and get the Irn Bru cup. He might want to leave and be a number 1 somewhere, but that would involve going part time surely so may be happy to stay as backup. -

I eventually got round to sharing their post on facebook tonight - myself and my old man had agreed to sign up if the club showed enough ambition to keep Shankland so that's two more members not in the figures there as we will do it tomorrow. -

Tbh Cammy Bell (or similar) plus keeping Hart would be perfect for me. As someone has said before I can't see being an ex Killie being an issue. From what i've seen he's a pretty good keeper at this level and is someone Hart coulf learn from. If he performs well the fans will take to him - simple as that. -

Compared to our striking options last time we went up, to have Moffat, Moore and Shankland tied up by mid May this time round is absolutely fantastic. -

On a similar note I had a look on soccerbase to see how many games Forrest had played - was surprised to see he is still only 21 but has played nearly 200 games and scored 40 odd goals. -

You fucking beauty. I was happy enough with the first three - thought the Shanks one would rumble on for a while. -

I'm delighted - think there are 9 grounds i've never been to left, and Ross County (plus Falkirk new one and Dundee Utd) are 3 of them. Add that to the fact the in laws are from Greenock and are Morton fans, and a work pal a Dunfermline fan i'm buzzing about the away days this season -

Re: Jordan Marshall - if he is 21 and was offered a new deal, would we not need to pay compensation? Haven't seen it mentioned so I assume not somehow, but I'm not exactly clued up with the process -

I get the feeling he's maybe saying that stuff as a message to the likes of Shankland etc - much easier to persuade him / Crawford / McDaid etc who will have other offers if he is making public noises about us going up there to challenge, rather than saying "its going to be a long hard season and 8th would be brilliant" etc.
