That aside, googling Derek Colquhoun yields a few more infractions than just the recent one.

If we arent clear to call someone with his record a scumbag, then I am unsure of how the world works now....

I can't find anything on him other than his playing career.

My memory of him is somewhat hazy but I do recall something about him falling through Coasters roof whilst trying to get in to rob the place. Was he still on our books at that time?

Don't think so but let's face it he was nicknamed shovel heid for trying to hit someone over the head with a shovel.

The shovel head smacking ritual was by a guy called Oliphant from the Bog Road as I remember. Was making a name for himself in the reserves but got the heave ho after introducing his shovel to somebodies skull.

The scary thing about that is even DL has his own youtube highlights vid and scarily enough a lot of them he was in a Falkirk strip funnily enough i dont recall him doing anything of merit for him to have any highlights at TFS

Colquhoun was definitely shovelhead. No idea about Oliphant whoever he was.

I think that as we've got a starting 11 that we're just about happy with (before seeing them), signings like the guy from Newport (if it happens) are much lower risk.

Don't actually think the whole Brentford model is a bad idea, we just executed it horrifically. Sacked everyone and replaced them with randoms rather than letting it evolve over time.

Yeah I wouldn't mind us trying to pick up gems from down south, M&M will hopefully do the sensible thing by watching them in a trial rather than signing them off the back of some dodgy scouts referral ala Hartley. Don't really know what the covid repurcussions are though for bringing in trialists. As in if there is a limit or an amount of time they've got to wait to train with another club. The newport player and the rangers player (if it's still mcpake) both look to be wingers.
