grumswall Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 We’d like another forward, but can we afford it? Similar in midfield/wing. We have a couple of bodies for these positions that we barely use, for good reason, but options none the less. I suspect the Keatings issue is much deeper, and this short loan part of a bigger plan between him and the team, possibly to unload him somehow.I don't think mcglynn would be looking for another player if we couldn't afford it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said Celtic game money is a bonus so why not use some of it? We have the fee for tait and we didn’t need to sell apparently so I feel being pro active will give everts lift. Keatings Will maybe decide part time is the way forward for him physically , who knows 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how much do we have and what will it get…that may be the irons he’s referring to, and why he’s so coy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Someone on our thread mentioned Keena to you lot on loan I'd presume. Don't know if there's any truth to it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilted John Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) So Dunfermline have a first team player who’s going for 1-2-1 sessions at a kids football camp to try and get better….

He’s just training on his own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he’s doing extra training isn’t the issue. I’d be concerned as to why he feels the facilities on offer at your own training centre aren’t sufficient enough that he feels he needs to go to an academy that trains kids off the street to improve. Do Dunfermline not have coaches that could have helped out with 1-2-1 training? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do Dunfermline not have coaches that could have helped out with 1-2-1 training? Let's be brutally honest here, you're reaching massively here to try and find something to laugh at Dunfermline about, the fact that we're bottom with two points should have given you plenty ammunition, the fact you've went for "Player uses another coach to give him an insight" really isn't the point of hilarity you seem to think it is. Lee Robinson who was largely a joke figure goalkeeper at this level has done very well for himself with his coaching buisness, here he is yeeting balls with current Premier league keeper David Raya. I'd imagine that David Raya has access to most facilities, working on his distribution with a Scottish Championship keeper is less surprising than a squad player with Dunfermline working with Joe Cardle. Maybe Cole wanted to develop cutting in from the left, who knows. If you'd be concerned about a Raith player doing similar that's on you being very silly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) Cole and Cardle also played together for a season, so presumably Cole knows what Cardle’s coaching is likely to be like, and exactly where he can help him improve.

Broken Algorithms Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I mean, it's not like one of our own players did exactly the same thing...https://www.instagram.com/p/CS_savrMKEi/?utm_medium=copy_linkI think it was Danny Denholm who was chatting with John Rankin about there's an absolutely brutal culture of people being a "busy b*****d". I know it's not the point you're making but folk don't see that most players go out their way to spend extra time in the gym or using coaching sessions to put in extra work. Personally I'd be happy for anyone, whether in or out of football to go out and trying to better themselves. As a nation, we're awful for putting people down trying to better themselves or putting in extra work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
