Just a bairn Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I think folk are exaggerating the strength of the other teams in this division. Every team in the first division will be worse next season, it's not just us. I'm expect another mediocre title challenge (pretty much like this season) that will never really get going resulting in a second or third place finish. But to suggest we are more likely to be fighting out at the bottom rather than at the top is completely wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Next season is one where we're more likely to be battling over the bottom two places rather than the top two. Thing is, that's actually ok. Behave. We will be much closer to 1st than 10th. It's still the First Division we are talking about here, and we will still have one of the highest wage bills in the league. We are all in agreement that Pressley is a useless incompetent, but even with that parameter known, he will struggle to be worse than 5th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYTFFC Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Murals up in the South Stand and look cracking! well done to the brockville spirit,they look fantastic and hopefully inspire the team to promotion next season,if not promotion then maybe even playing with a bit of heart wouldn`t go a miss 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattBairn Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Weir and Parks are the others. It was money raised by TBS that paid for them. Well done The Brockville Spirit! Looks great! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh 5th or sixth is where I expect us to finish, but in terms of points on the board, I reckon we'll be closer to 9th than 2nd. So not too much to behave about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattBairn Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 You've probably all gone on OneF to have a look (and pretended you never... ) but the other side has Houstie, McGivern, Stainrod, Kenny Dawson, James, Barr, Arfield and Latapy. Full marks to TBS guys - these look tremendous. I dont have a OneF account. Any chance someone could post it up here please? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris. Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 If we get a reasonable sum for him - bearing in mind he only has a year left - then I wouldn't mind him going. He's a fantastic little player on his day, one of the best, if not the best in the division, but he just wasn't in the game post-Xmas. Mind you, after the first few months of the season every team more often than not, were putting two men on him, and he was marked out of games. His workrate is second to none, and he runs himself in to the ground each game - if only the rest of the players put in the same degree of effort. He's destined for better things than the Scottish First Division, good luck to him if he does go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Nederlander Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Pray tell, who are all these teams who are suddenly going to improve and finish so far ahead of us. I guess you could argue that three of them were better than us last season and that we will probably have a worse team than last ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiwiDB Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I guess you could argue that three of them were better than us last season and that we will probably have a worse team than last ? You could also argue that pretty much everyone in the league is going to have a worse team next season, look at the number of players being released across the board. We finished 12 points off 1st and 25th off 9th, there's no logical reason to believe that sort of scenario will reverse next season, sheer negativity for the sake of it and nothing more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if Santana's moving but, if not, they'll have him, Driver, Templeton and Tahoul (if he signs) all vying for a similar position in the team. I don't think Ryan would even get on the pitch! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barr was the first Falkirk player to get a Scotland cap in a looong time and Arfield (as far as I recall) was sold for a club record. (Both coming from the Academy too) Probably why theyre in there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hero of the Day Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Both of them scoring against Dunfermline too. One to put us in to Europe and the other being his first goal for the club against Dunfermline. Those guys deserve to be up there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
