  1. You're right, more chance of a young player with less to lose making the jump. From what I've seen he's a handful who gets plenty chances, though the highlights I've seen he misses plenty but City fans will know better.(away to Forfar comes to mind) whether he's able to make the step is hard to tell. We had Greg spence last season and he scored plenty for us In The league above and he's still at a part time team this season (Alloa). I genuinely feel he would struggle against full time defenders so thought Alloa was a good move for him.
  2. Not really. to attract full time interest you would need to be a top part timer. Surely that's 200-300 or occasionally more per week for 2 nights and a Saturday. If the player has a job getting 400- 500 there aren't many clubs will pay much more than those 2 wages combined plus it's a big risk for the player giving up his job.
  3. Andy, it's just another Arbroath fan making a twat of himself on here.
  4. This is a great idea. There's no limits to how influential this could go to. the first team and colt team should be able to interchange players as and when required. Colt team seeded in the cups. Unlimited subs so maximum amount of players are involved. No transfer window for them either. An opponent has a good game, sign him the next day. the list is endless and the more initiatives the better Scottish football will be.
  5. He's at several Cowdenbeath games due to a link we now have with Hearts. Our manager is ' on loan ' from them along with 2 of our players.
  6. When would you play then? i always found half the team was working sat morning so 2pm was only time could play anyway.
  7. Didn't know that. he looked like a soft junior centre half when with us last season.
  8. Wasn't about the time. Haha Played football all my life never been a distance runner. Did the first 19 miles in 2 1/2 hrs then got severe cramp in my thigh and limped the rest in tears. No exaggeration. Will never do it again. stupid event anyway.
  9. It's ok , this is our week. I'm certain, honest, definitely, 100 percent.
  10. Ran the Edinburgh marathon for charity so wouldn't describe my waistline as big.
  11. Doris and McCord had their gastric bands fitted yet?
  12. this the season sons sorrow becomes reality? the bubble has to burst sometime soon and the championship is tougher this season. alloa and livi went down replaced by dunfermline and ayr. dunfermline definitely wont go down and will finish above dumbarton so the squeeze at the bottom increases. at least if you go down you wont go down again the next season, we are a million miles from your level now. training once a week? wow thats sunday league stuff. i played saturday ams and junior for 20 years and never been at a team who only trained once.
  13. bit like your board then, offering barry ferguson a new contract. no time for tactics at clyde, takes him half an hour to read out the team.
  14. What the f**k is it about Clyde fans, weegie land wee man syndrome? The minnows of glesga have got issues anyway.
  15. Mentioned Angus to my apprentice the other day. He says 'Couper Angus?'. I said ' no, Angus the region'. He said ' never heard of it'.
  16. On the other hand some coaches like a player who shoots when he gets A chance, if you don't shoot you can't score.
  17. Was always taught the thought process that should go through your head when you get the ball should be 1 can I pass (to someone in a better position) 2 can I shoot ( realistic chance of scoring) 3 can I dribble ( to get in a better position to start the decision process again with 1 can I pass)
  18. Glad you love huge Bobby. surely if a team work the ball out to the wide player and he is 1 on 1 in the final third he should be encouraged to take his man on and make things happen. Far too many players (especially full backs) just sling the early cross in as the safe option these days.
  19. Good point aswell. bit of a smash and grab but more than 1 way to skin a cat. Great start for Liam!
  20. Who says Cambells not all about hoof ball. Over half an hour gone and some amount of long punts, down wind aswell!
  21. Stop talking sense, this is the wrong forum for you.
