  1. We couldn’t afford to offer Byrne an acceptable deal because we also had Lawson in that role, and Lawson (wrongly in my opinion) was preferred to Byrne. Regardless of the Byrne v Lawson debate on who the better player is, having Lawson there made it a lot easier to offload Byrne in the summer. Lawson isn’t much use right now as he’s a want-away player, so it’s a real kick in the teeth. It’ll be a lot easier to take if Lawson were actually playing.


    We offered Byrne a new deal in January with a 50% increase in his wages. Byrne didn’t wanna be here, probably cause he knew Gallagher, Halkett and Kelly were all away.


  2. More than the £1500 a week Hardies apparently on. I suspect he’s on a near enough 6 figure salary at saints, so that’ll be approaching 2k a week plus bonuses, which he doesn’t think is enough. I’d say you’re looking at him thinking he’s due 2.5/3k a week. Rumour is he’s possibly away down to Salford, who’d probably give him 5k without batting an eyelid.


    Ah fair enough that’ll be the end of that then [emoji23] would’ve been a very good addition but at that price it’s a no go.


  3. It really doesn’t. He’s been nothing short of excellent at dispelling that myth at saints. Still everyone will tar him with that same brush because of past issues in his younger days.


    I’d have to agree with you on what I’ve seen of him this season. Always looks like he gives his all and has impressed me any time we’ve played you. On the price range issue, we’ll have some wages freed up with Halkett, Hardie and Gallagher all on the way out. Any idea what sorta wage he’s on at you guys?
  4. At last, the Shaik we were all hoping for. (Let's hope he doesn't desert us like Aitchison, but is intent on staying.)
    Shaik's Army (formerly Aitken's Army (disbanded 2018)) will be needing to wear two pairs of incontinence panties each.


    Bumped into Henk in the club shop today. He seems keen to get going at Dumbarton he’ll be happy to just be playing first team football I reckon.

    Hopefully does the business for you guys, he’s a big handsome giant as well [emoji7]

    Jack Hamilton will do a good job for you guys I reckon! 18 years old and has had some game time for us this season. He’s big and strong and can hold the ball up well and bring others into play and scores for fun in the reserves so he knows where the goal is. Think this move will help both parties by giving Jack essential game time and hopefully doing the business on the park!

  6. Tbf I saw him at the Livingston away game - maybe the Scottish Cup - where he was poor and spunked the best chance we had blasting it over when through on goal. However that was one of his first ever games of professional football and he went on to get better and better. The goal v Morton was real quality and just screamed potential to me (if you can be arsed it’s around the 1:40 in this game https://www.falkirkfc.tv/highlights-falkirk-3-1-morton/


    That’s a great goal tbf [emoji1305] Lovely move as a whole! Rated Jakubiak more out of him and Nelson has he went anywhere?
  7. Haven’t been as confident that a player will come good as Nelson. I reckon he’ll be an absolute star either immediately or in the next year or 2 for you guys. Absolutely gutted we didn’t sign him tbh


    Obviously you seen him in a lot more games than me but the times I seen Nelson play against us he was poor. Also this is a step up, I think he will struggle. Can’t see signings like that help keep Dundee in the premiership.
