sonicsco Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 If it was done last week why did they just not announce that yesterday ! Unless there is more happening today ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just checked Twitter and he only follows three football clubs: East Fife, Celtic, and us. It must be a cert. Yeah, solid league 1 signing, will give our attack a dimension that it struggled with all last year. Still very much a signing in the mold of: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ding Dang Doo Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Underwhelming to say the least and confirms our "style" of hoofball this year is going to horrible to watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness a major issue with us last year was a complete inability to smash the door down when we needed to. You just do need some height and strength up top in this league, regardless of style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Varna Rover's 'sources' being complete slavers there. Not only did he get the wrong number, he said Duggan hadn't been mentioned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) Not really sure what to think - did a decent turn for East Fife and more suited to Smith's style, but if you mentioned him alongside Spence I'd have probably picked Spence. CCP* have said there is more to come today as well. *Reliable news source with no known Black Sea connections.

King Kebab Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Pedant Alert: it was Gary Naysmith that signed him for us not Agent Smith!!! In fairness a major issue with us last year was a complete inability to smash the door down when we needed to. You just do need some height and strength up top in this league, regardless of style. Chris is strong certainly but he isn't tall so you're still short on any height upfront!!!You've signed a good player who works hard, but I'm still not sure why you've signed him, I think you'll find him to be exactly the same type of player as Buchanan, in style and skill level, your twin strike force upfront is going to be exactly that -twins!!!Oh and obviously I hope he stinks up the place with shite performance after shite performance!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Duggan, Vaughan Buchanan. Sounds good on paper but so did Vaughan, Spence and Buchanan last season. Just have to see how it pans out. Have no recollection of Duggan when we played East Fife, probably because they are a jobbies team but hopefully he does the biz for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 6ft 1" according to wiki, that makes him a fucking giant in comparison to our current forwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Sorry I should have put that end bit in bold to make it clearer, I don't think ANY of the reps have communicated nearly enough with the fans. Hopefully Andy Mill will be different. He was the only candidate that gave a cursory mention to fans in the main stand We dont all sit in the south stand Can any one on here tell me what difference the last supporter rep made 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperHans Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I personally would have preferred Bill Gilby. I don't know him and I only know Andy Mill as the guy from the 200 Club. From what it seems Andy is a loyal servant to the club and has obviously got the clubs interests at heart. I don't see him as a guy that is wanting to do this for any kind of status. I just felt Bill had a bit more conviction about him and with his previous business experience, had a lot more knowledge about working within the board room dynamic. I hope Andy surprises me. I think it's almost impossible for a fans rep on the BoD to make a huge difference with how the club is run but what I do hope is that he is visible to all fans and gives us more of a voice than we've had before. I'd also say that although this is the only really fair way of selecting and voting for candidates, I see a huge flaw as any candidate from a supporters group the size of the 200 Club has a huge advantage with members voting for the guy the know and like. It comes down to how the candidates canvas themselves at the end of the day but when you have the backing and support of a large group, it's a lot easier. Without being too disrespectful to Andy, I think that showed in the final vote count. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 What other forwards did you lot release other than Spence??? I've a feeling one of them will be winging their way to us in a souped-up car of meh, as a replacement!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
