Not much thought on this one really. The trip to Aberdeen last week means I won’t be there and expect the away support to be relatively low.
What’s obvious is that both teams badly need a win, the hosts more so than ourselves.
The loss of McAllister will be a big blow to Peterhead and a bit of a boost to ourselves but in the absence of our own attacking options I wouldn’t be surprised if this ended goalless.
The arrival of SW is a welcome boost for us and will strengthen an obvious weak spot so defensively we should be better than our last visit there.
I’d rip your hand off for a scrappy 1-0 here. Deflected McGeever header and a late penalty.I dont know if the loss of McAllister will be as big a blow as first thought. Like yourself , fans of other clubs most likely saw him play 4 times a season .......if they do away games, twice if they dont ...........Peterhead fans saw him every second week and he has struggled with staying fit, leading to him starting games as a substitute.
Personally I think the time was right for him to go. For himself ,and for Peterhead.

This article seems pretty negative compared to the E.E. one. I was a bit surprised that travelling to Forfar for training was mentioned as a downside. Is Rory based in Aberdeen, or further north? Presumably Cove, train in Aberdeen.
It's just dandy that Aberdeen now has an outlet for disgruntled former Dons fans and semi-loyal Dons fans not wanting to travel to away games.

After you'd signed , Rory? Lol.

Cough, Cough.
That's a clue? The names of two directors?
It may well be to you and others, but the only name I know is Rodger Morrison. The rest I dont have a scooby as to who they are, or indeed as to how many there are ?

Having seen some of the figures bandied about on the Cove Facebook page it looks like it. Chance for a big pay day before retiring from football and can't blame him for that, just think this reeks of underhanded behaviour by Cove but we'll never know.
It works both ways. Underhanded by both parties.

Little clue from Rory here re directors.
Positive clue it looks like? Nothing negative unless the people he mentioned(directors) have moved on? Not that I would know as I dont pay that much attention to the day to day workings of the place.
Everything points to it being for his benefit financially.

Because I have amazing powers of deduction, I'm guessing you and I may have something in common.
Possibly. Lol.
Only looked at the first poster.

Sean Connery.
Declan McManus.( The real one, not the 'impostor' who plays for Falkirk!)
Claudia Schiffer.
Ivan the Terrible.
Many, many others.

Nah it's at least 3 chances in play offs in league one - once with Ian Stewart, once with Neale Cooper and I think once with Mcinally.
You're probably correct. I get bloody confused with the change of league designation. 3rd division changing to league 2....yada , yada.

Nobody else seem to think there must have been an element of "tapping up" going on here? McAllister hands in a transfer request and within, what, 12 hours, he's signed up with Cove? Sounds to me like someone at Cove (or loosely involved with them) has informed Rory of their interest and what he might receive, which has prompted him to hand in a transfer request.
I concede I have no knowledge of what's gone on and perhaps Peterhead are happy to let this go through as they're getting a fee and a big wage out the budget, just seems a bit weird that (a) he'd hand in a request and (b) have a lucrative deal already sewn up within hours.
It will be pretty much as you say, though if he has someone looking after his affairs(an agent in other words) then he'll know what was on offer.
The word here is they've offered him the amount it takes to pay off a mortgage.......
Not sure if PFC are happy to let him go, but if what we both think has happened, has in fact happened,then it's pointless trying to keep him.
He would be due a testimonial soon, so CR must've come up with the splonders.
Apparently Hartley tried to sign him twice when he was manager at Dundee. I hope he realises that the player he signed today is that bit older and has some problems now.
Not that I care.

Would willingly accept change if it moved the club forward by whatever it takes, would expect those on the board to do what they see as in the clubs best interests. Compared to quite a few clubs we have had some memorable occasions in our time in the league with a couple titles & national cup final which is more than many have in their history. Everything comes to an end eventually but ideally should be done before being forced into a lose, lose situation. Would Elgin supporters resign themselves to never getting out of League 2 simply because there would be a chance of relegation.
Forget Elgin.
If you want comparisons look at Ross County and ICT.
Through the league set up and winners of National trophies.
We've been in the leagues 20 years and had one chance at the Play off in league one.
We have become the very thing the two highland clubs have avoided. Another club stringing along in the lower reaches of the SPFL.

Did hear a couple weeks back that one director was looking to get out, depending on who it is this could have a huge effect on the running of the club. While disappointed about Rory wanting away think these developments could be linked. While an earlier poster said relegation would not bother him afraid accepting that would be the start of a downward spiral that would change the clubs profile quite a bit from what we have been used to.
We've already been promoted to league one. We ended up back in league two . It hasn't made any discernible difference to the profile of PFC.
We are a lower league club. To be anything more needs monumental change to every aspect of the club.

Rory hands in a transfer request.....wow. you boys have got to be worried about relegation now.
I can only speak for myself but, it doesnt really bother me if we get relegated.
Realistically we are a club that will yo yo between league one , and league two.
Much like the rest of the part time clubs.

We have maybe been lulled into a false sense of security as although results have not been great this season the club always seems to be doing ok. With Rory nearing a testimonial which was something he mentioned a while back it seems a bit odd to suddenly be wanting away especially to what would be a similar set-up. It does make you wonder if there is a split somewhere either with management or within the squad. Although not scoring for fun this season think Rory is by far & away our best forward player. Thought given the age of a number of the squad a major rebuild would be required for next season but this could be a signal of hard times ahead with 8th place this season probably the best we can look for.
If we are on the cusp of a rebuild, then 8th will do.
If at all possible build the team around Scott Brown.

Ooooft. Thought he was wasted on the wing against us
TBH he's been poor all season, regardless of where on the pitch he has played.
It's an odd situation, but I would reckon another club will have offered him a few bob.
It's his last chance at a biggish signing on fee.

Hearing Cove are willing to stump up and get him in now. With a testimonial due, Cove may have to offer him a big lump of cash.
Not too fussed either way.

Andy Smith i think
It was indeed Andy Smith.
I had his strip for many years( my son wore it) as Andy had gone off to Airdrie and it was gathering dust.
I gave it back to PFC on learning they were collecting memorabilia for that title winning year.

Might drop them a message and see if they fancy taking it off our hands. Still wouldn't take anything for it.
The club would take it I would think.

Assuming there's still no danger of this being called off?
Balmoor should never really have a problem with match postponements due to rainfall. Unless it's a monsoon type downpour an hour before K.O.
It's an excellent pitch. Well maintained.
Frost and snow, yes. No different from other grass pitches that do not have under soil heating.

By the sounds of things it seems as if phead have went out their way to deliberately injure our players.. now this doesnt surprise me but it's a horrible thought and surely if true and could be proved they should be punished? We all know the dirty game they play and McInally probably had them going in harsh to worsen our injury crisis and benefit his side. Dirt b4stards
Its 'gone out of their way'.
Not 'went' .
The rest of your post is of a similar calibre.

Peterhead vs Dumbarton
in Scottish League 1 General Chatter
Posted
First half was a non event really. Two teams struggling for any kind of form/ consistency.
Second half saw Peterhead the better side.
The pen miss was a honker by Lyle. Thought the lob was over the line, but to be fair to the linesman he was where he should be.
In all it could have been a more comfortable win, but any win will do in the circumstances.
