Dallas is a member of the funny hand shakers club.

Paul Cairney back at Stair Park next season with Albion Rovers. Hopefully the shapeless one we saw in his early days with Stranraer.

This seasons away shirt. Colours inspired by our first recorded kit.

Believ so. Apparently Scott Phillips has been invited to pre season training.

Think he joined Stranraer at the same time as Andy Patterson from Stirling Albion. Was excited about both joining but Patterson hardly kicked a ball for us. Bad luck with injuries.

Would guess it will be much the same. First team running with a small squad, fill the bench with reserves when there are injuries or suspensions, take them up to Angus Or Elgin and give them two minutes football. Don’t think the manager realises how good some of there boys are. Not one of them has looked out of place when given the opportunity. Credit to the South team last season, second half of the season they were losing their best players week in week out and still looked a terrific team.

In recent years it would have to be David Mitchel and Max Currie. Both came in as young boys with little experience, got a few seasons under the belts and got a move. Two fantastic keepers. We had David McGurn for a short time. Looked a very solid keeper and highly rated everywhere else he’s been. Going back to the last time we won the league Michael McGovern was fantastic. Has went on to have a good career for himself too. Some hold Cammy Belford in high regards but I thinking he was a clown. More interested in being a show pony. Mistake away to Ayr United was embarrassing. Worst recently would have to be Connor Brennan. He didn’t stick about too long as he was recalled by Kilmarnock. I’m guessing he’s improved or just has a really good agent. Since I started following Stranraer we’ve had guys like, Barney Duffy, Gary Matthews, John Hillcoat and Mark McGeown. All very good.

Hopefully a full season a full season with us will bring out the best in him. Showed us in glimpses what he can do. Quite a few offensive players now in Joao, Hilton, Elliot, Duffy, Orr and Paton. Wouldn’t mind seeing Andy Stirling to that list. Didn’t do much last season, but who did? We all know what he can do.

Fingers crossed I’m proven wrong. More than happy to construct something more positive if it’s warranted. If you have the time scroll through P&B and you’ll see I have been complementary of Jamie Hamill at times. As I said if Duffy can get on the end of these balls he’ll be fine. To me that’s a positive. If he can’t get on the end of them, that would be negative.

Lewis McIntyre has signed with the first team.

If he can work with 40 yard aimless punts up the field from Jamie Hamill he’ll do just fine.

Faz said he has an experienced keeper coming in but, furlough is holding it up. Not sure if furlough is affecting the admin side or possibly the player coming in is currently furloughed from a full time club.

Top guy. Think he’d endear himself to any set of supporters he plays for. Would love him back at Stair Park.

Black lives matter.

Thomas Orr signs from BSC Glasgow / Alloa. Seemed to be flying last season. Hopefully continue in to this season.

Know very little about the two new boys Discounted to see Hamill return but not one bit surprised. A fit Grant Gallagher should be fine, if we see that or not is a different story. Suicide from the club if this is not a pay as you play deal. To be honest I wouldn’t be sad if nobody else from last season resigned. Yes, there are guys like Robertson, Hilton and Stirling who should all be capable of doing a job but, so should everyone last season and we only registered two league wins. Did show great signs of getting anymore either. Lewis McIntyre and Scott Phillips from the reserves have been invited to pre season training.

Jordan Allan has signed for Darvel. Dale Burgess to Beith.

Think Stirling Albion are donating the money they’ve raised.

It’s a pre contract. Don’t think there will be anything done until there’s a start date agreed. Full time wages for part time football apparently. Great keeper, deserves his move.

Give it a few weeks and part time will be needed when they propose introducing colt teams again.

I thought Darvel were ambitious. They’ll be glad there’s no District league to get relegated to now.

Don’t think Thomson ever got to the level he showed against us when he was a Dunfermline player. Some good games but not a player I was too excited about. I know a lot of others really like him though.

Stranraer can’t afford to appeal a red card never mind mount something as big as this. Count us out.

Just shy of a quarter of a million. This was paid into the clubs Paypal account where it sat until the weekend but is no longer there. Faz asked all the players to use the popular Houseparty app so they could all do star jumps together. He used the club email address to register which is the same address linked to the Paypal account. A breach of Housepartys security saw the club and many others fall victim to a data breach which has lead to a number of users being left out of pocket. All we have left from that night at Ibrox is our memories. Grant Gallagher did not take part in the star jump session.

I’ve never once heard an official of the club slating people or businesses. Would be extremely stupid to do so. We depend on them.
