grumswall Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 If he's signing for them then he's obviously been looking to go pt and I'd doubt we'd have been in for him. I doubt we'll see a signing this week. As long as we bring in 1/2 before the window shuts im OK with that. It's another week for the players we do have to gel and work together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
embow Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Hi Folks. Needing a bit of help with this if at all possible. Back around the time when the iconic RemembeR strip was unveiled, somebody painted a miniature model figure of a football player in phenomenal detail and sent it to Jack Alexander at MacCrea's Battalion Trust. The miniature model figure stands approximately 5-6 cms tall. The Trust would appreciate knowing who went to such skilled endeavour so that their name can be added to the archives along side the model. Many thanks in advance for any information received. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) Adam Rooney is in his mid 30s and has scored 13 goals in 2 years. I'm sure one of these much maligned "kids" could give us that tbh. That said, we do need something. We won't come against teams as bad as Morton most weeks.

pub car king Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Rooney might be ae to do a job in the vain that Hamill and Anderson did by passing on their experience to those around them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAITHROVERS84 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I think Adam Rooney will be great at this level to be honest. Don’t know what went amiss when at Salford as he was rifling them in for a period of time. Would have been ideal to work with our 3 youngsters up front including Connell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I'm sceptical as to how good Rooney will be. He's scored 13 goals in 53 games for Solihull Motors. I'd imagine their league is of a similar to worse standard than ours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The National League, formerly known as the Conference and also the level immediately above the one Ugwu and Musonda played at before we signed them. Manny Duku managed a decent haul in the National League after leaving ICT last season. I suspect he'll likely be a decent signing at this level compared to a relegation magnet like Innes Cameron, but it's hard to quantify isn't it? Maybe he's finished, perhaps most his appearances were off the bench (genuinely have no idea) but I would say well worth a punt.

Manny Duku went to the National League South which is the tier below the National League.

Not an error really mate just a funny league system to work out I thought the exact same before realising, it but actually a very impressive and sensible pyramid they’ve got. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime I've seen him against us he's looked big, strong and a threat in the air. Pretty much exactly what we need in a striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameron does not score goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’m not as against him as some others seem to be, looks too me a bit like a young Brian Graham. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did OK, with Alloa but fairly louping season with QoS last year probably damped a lot of interest in him. I wouldn't like to rely on him for double figures but I suppose he might help others score... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
