RoversMad Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 It clearly was this. While I'm disappointed to see Davie go it looks like a fairly astute decision from McKinnon. Keeps McGurn match fit incase we need him and if he's at Stranraer then maybe not playing McGurn becomes less of an issue for fans?and he can pull of more wondersaves against the Pars hopefully... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover the Moon Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 This. It seems it was clear ploy by the board to get season tickets sales up without any forward thinking. It was obvious at the time that this was the case. Anyone who thought otherwise is either naive or stupid. It was even announced in the manner of 'McGurn signs two-year deal ... by the way, did we mention season tickets are on sale now.'It made sense if the manager was going to be Ellis or McGlynn as they'd know his ability but this was always likely to happen with a new boss. Doesn't seem like McGurn has done his best to put himself in McKinnon's good books though, going by the stories doing the rounds. Glad he's getting game time somewhere but it seems a ridiculous waste of a wage to have him on the books for two more years when we're struggling for numbers in other areas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin time Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 What a shock mcgurn leaving, who would have predicted that in the summer ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 and he can pull of more wondersaves against the Pars hopefully...It won't happen, because they're going to blow that league away this year, but could you imagine the #scenes if he did somehow thwart Dunfermline's title charge. That's statue stuff, right there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover the Moon Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Hopefully Stranraer are covering a reasonable portion of his wage.Indeed. But we're still left with having three keepers on the books next summer and perhaps having to try and agree a pay-off to move him on. All pretty clumsy stuff.Giving Barr a deal at the end if the season falls into the same category. He's been a nightmare signing. Much was made of why we signed Davo but, barring a couple of suspensions a season, he is always fit to play - and in the same positions Barr can operate in. Give me Davo over him any day of the week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray re signed Barr, presumably based on his performances in the last 2 and a half months of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Brilliant Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Barr looked like our best player when fit. Definitely someone to tie down. Just bad luck with the injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leggy Blonde Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Hopefully Stranraer are covering a reasonable portion of his wage. It's quite possible that Davie's loan move and whatever we received for Tade, freed up some money to bring in Daly.

Rover the Moon Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Barr looked like our best player when fit. Definitely someone to tie down. Just bad luck with the injury.Don't think he's someone to give long deals to based on his injury record. Two years with us, no pre-seasons, and injury-prone before that too. He probably looked better than he actually was based on the fact we'd been witnessing Ross Perry for a long spell. I'd rather we invested more time and effort into the likes of Bates than Barr for his 10 games a season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donny86 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Looking at the Fifa compensation scheme, we should get 0.5% of Tade's transfer fee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICMAC Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Looking at the Fifa compensation scheme, we should get 0.5% of Tade's transfer fee. £25k then lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Not bad stuff all things considered! A couple of unexpected wee windfalls does the club good again. We've been quite lucky on that front over the last three or four years. For ages it felt we'd never get any decent breaks on cup draws and we had very little players who'd develop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncypoo Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Is there a fan club in Edinburgh? I'm based through here now and don't always get to the games. Just wondering do a few fans meet up here for a pint every so often. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
