Probably wants to see other offers which might come in during the summer. No issues with that, to be perfectly honest. I can't help but wonder if that's the case with Callumn also. I know it's been reported that he's "expected" to sign for Linfield, but I'm yet to see any actual proof of this? Just because he was spotted in Norn Iron doesn't mean he's defo signed. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBairn Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Absolutely within McCann’s rights to angle for more cash and play the waiting game. The lad’s been a good servant and a decent player too, I’d be sad if he left. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on nothing but my own suspicions, I reckon Cal’s probably signed a PCA with them but it’s been kept private (for now). We’ll find out soon enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I think if we do go up there wouldn’t be wholesale changes. I could see maybe 6/7 new players coming in. A new keeper with Nicky as back up, another striker or two. I would honestly consider keeping Shanley and if we could get Tait and Ross then another 2 or 3 tops would do. I don’t think there would be that many departures either. Morrison if the rumours are true, I think the likes of Ola, Jordan Allan, McGinn would be gone and possibly Sean Mackie. Other than that I think the rest could do a job and if they aren’t starting 11’s be squad players. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 One thing we've learned is wholesale changes don't work. Evolution not revolution. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bisland will also leave at the end of his loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hard bit is the judgement if the top performers of the previous season can cut it in the higher league over a season. Get that wrong then crucial positional shortcomings cripple the season . Bomber Brown and John Hay were an impressive centre back pairing in the 70's but just did not cut it in a higher league. Think people will be surprised at who is moved on. It will be interesting but in the end it will be a nice problem as it's rejigging a promoted side. Here's hoping 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFalkirkBairn Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Heading to BTW for a pre match pint for the first time in years. They still do the bus down to the ground right? What time does it leave?

Since McGlynn came in I would say that the Hibs and DU games could be described as 'big' and we did ok in those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 If I may be indulged in some borderline birthday caird pish.... Every era needs days to define it. By era I mean the years of turgid shite, covid, the Succession of shite managers and Gary Holts at our lowest. It's been year now not a blip. I am so desperate for today not to just be three points, but to be the one we are talking about seasons from now on here. Today can be for the new board and the tirelsss work to stabilise the club and get up on the upswing, the FSS and the unbelievable work they have done even whilst in the football doldrums, the most likeable team since Housties, the fans who have suffered but still show up, and the ones that suffered but aren't here to see 5.5k Bairns at a League 1 match. This is what it's all about. This is why none of us are sat in the big chair screeching about the IRA or the UVF and how VAR isnae fair. I fucking hope we win today cos its been a long time since we can say top to bottom of our club, we finally deserve it. MON THE FUCKING BAIRNS!!!!!! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 This is the team and players we'll be boring our kids about. Clubber Lang is 7ft tall, destroys strikers by the hundreds and shoots thunderbolts from his arse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was shooting thunderbolts from my arse this morning after a serious night on the Guinness in a country pub lock in in deepest Ireland. Scunnered to be missing the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
