Better off keeping Jordan Allan in that instance. Fwiw I don't think we'll sign another striker. We have MacIver, Shanley, Oliver can play up front as can McKenna. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 McKenna cannot play up front. Can people please stop claiming he can play up front. Playing young players out of their natural position can sometimes produce a eureka moment. It doesn't work with 33 year olds. Oliver is a bit of a stretch as well. I'd be very surprised if we see him doing anything other than coming off the bench to fill in the 10 position, McGlynn has already eluded to his role being quite limited next season. I'd be very surprised if Jordan Allan doesn't get moved on and we don't bring in another big striker, the only way we won't do that is if McGlynn thinks Allan's wage can be better spent on another winger instead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIT THE CHANNEL Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Hi folks, I am following up on the idea that I floated in various threads to write to local representatives to try and prevent the ban on artificial pitches in Scottish Premiership. If you read the Consultation paper, it is crystal clear that the ban is unfair and regressive - the recommendations for ensuring quality artificial pitches are sound. Numbers and momentum is everything, so please, please do email (if you have 5 minutes for reading nonsense on P&B you have 2 mins to send two emails!). I recommend sending two emails, one to your MSP and one to your councillor/council lead. I have created a draft email to copy and paste. I have also included instructions for who to email for rovers fans in Kirkcaldy (perhaps some kind soul could do similar for their own team in Airdrie/Falkirk/Dumfries/Hamilton/Cove respectively. I have left the Rovers version below as a template). I also have included how to find who to email. Thanks folks! EMAIL SUBJECT LINE: RE: Potential ban of artificial surfaces in the Scottish Premiership Dear NAME OF MSP/COUNCILLOR, Purpose of writing I am writing to raise concerns about the potential ban of artificial surfaces in the Scottish Premiership. There is a proposed vote taking place in the coming weeks. This vote will only be open to current Premiership clubs with the vote being for a blanket ban of artificial surfaces from season 2026/27. Facts of the case I would like to draw your attention to this joint statement provided by several clubs who presently have artificial surfaces (Raith Rovers, Falkirk, Queen of the South and Hamilton Academical), and especially to the detailed position paper which sets out a series of arguments and recommendations to allow artificial surfaces to continue to be used. The joint statement is here: https://www.raithrovers.net/artificial-pitch-statement; the consultation paper is here (created by the four aforementioned clubs alongside Airdrieonians and Cove Rangers): https://online.publuu.com/516411/1157872 Key points: Artificial surfaces are permitted at the very pinnacle of the game, being used in Champions League fixtures. There is therefore no good argument for banning them with regards to quality. Banning artificial surfaces would have a deleterious effect on sporting integrity and, most importantly, have a devastating impact on various clubs’ capacity to act as a sustainable community hub, providing a basis for boys, girls and women’s football to thrive. Request I would like to request: a) Public support of the consultation paper and to advocate that a ban on artificial pitches should not be permitted. b) That this issue is raised with appropriate senior ministers with the request to support the consultation paper and to advocate that a ban on artificial pitches should not be permitted. c) Raising the issue directly with the SPFL, the Scottish football governing body, to advocate that the consultation paper’s recommendations be accepted and a ban on artificial pitches should not be permitted. Yours Sincerely, YOUR FULL NAME: YOUR HOME ADDRESS: Find your MSP here: https://www.parliament.scot/msps; find your local councillor here: https://www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors For Rovers fans in Kirkcaldy I recommend contacting a) David Torrance, MSP for Kirkcaldy here: David.Torrance.msp@parliament.scot and b) Cllr.
