Not a touch on Marr played a few games when we were in such a mess. Plucked from the juniors the poor guy was completely out of his depth. It was the same time asked Sandy Burrell who had been freed the season before if he could play a few games to help us out. Lot of respect to Burrell in doing it, a lot of players would have told the club where to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Scott Sloan. You'd take him any day of the week just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't think who the other guy is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the only Marr on bettermeddle and according to that there was no marr played that season when Sandy Burrell helped out. The plot thickens.....

MrDust Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) 3 hours ago, Reggie Perrin said: Really don’t understand this “only here for the money” patter. There is a very large clue in the job title Full Time Professional Footballer. Dropping a division when he had at least one option above, then dropping 2 to one of the club's again who will pay the most. I find it amusing tho that a Morton legend of recent times is struggling to look like a footballer and has resigned himself to looking at cash first. 2 hours ago, JulioBairn said: Exactly this. At all levels of football, players sign for the team that is prepared to pay them the most money. None of our players are with us because they love Falkirk, they are with us because we pay more money than anyone at this level out with the 2 Dundee clubs So you are suggesting Tidser would've signed for Kelty afore us if they had offered more money ? I personally think a few of our players would've had to look at part time football if we hadn't signed them, it's cut throat with full time contracts, especially ones who have been around the block. We had Ray roll out 2yr contracts, which to some would've felt like Christmas. Edited February 5, 2020 by MrDust 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moment of great skill and be a game winner then a liability.

So you'd rather attend away games only, and therefore strengthening our competitors and weakening the club you support? You're fully entitled to do what you want, I just find the regurgitation of self justification on why people dont attend all rather tedious. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
