For what it’s worth, I think we’ll beat Stirling however if we don’t, given we played a really under strength Cove it’s a poor, poor start to the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we all have our gripes about the playing side, but the club really do fan engagement very well. We spent 30 minutes or so just wandering round looking at all the pics on the walls. we may be languishing in League 1, but I wouldn’t swap promotion for the soul of the club. We couldn’t make it down sadly but glad it was a good afternoon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I read it, it just felt like a moan that they have some sort of advantage above us. There will be some tough games but would rather he talked in a more positive light as despite the many banana skins this league can offer I hope we’ll always fancy our chances against Hamilton or Cove, let alone against the rest of the league. When I spoke to him and wished him luck before the cove game he was fully expecting 3 points. In fact when I said it's a hard place to go he said yes but we should be taking 3 points wherever we go. He certainly wasn't playing down our chances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d much rather have a manager with a “f**k you” attitude, you worry about us cos we are going to come out and go after you right from the first whistle, especially at TFS. 35 minutes ago, Grangemouth Bairn said: Agree - it’d be absolutely shocking if we are 4 or 5 points behind after 3 games.

Harry Kinnear Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 We need to stay on the heels of Hamilton and can’t let them open up a gap as we saw how that panned out last season with the Pars, they got ahead and we never looked like reeling them in. We also need to lay down markers at TFS on 16th Sept against QOS and 7th Oct against Hamilton, if we can’t take maximum points off these teams at home, I wouldn’t fancy our chances of going the distance. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will agree to disagree, I think he has a cautious mindset who’s main priority is not losing rather than going out and going for the throat of the opposing teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree and confirmed at Airdrie. When went to 0-4 down in the first twenty plus minutes, he stood there motionless and out his depth with his game plan shot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Seems to be a sizable number of posters on here who have no fucking idea what they think anymore, and have no intention of using football viewed to figure it out either. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amarillo Bairn Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 My opinion on Mcglynn, we shouldn't have hired him, and got fired after the end of last season. Imo I'm not now Mcglynn biggest fan, but ffs we've played 2 games, and he'll get my support till end of first quarter and see where we are 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d probably agree but he was one of the signings that McGlynn would have been alluding too. If he’s not a worry either then not sure why it’s worth him mentioning the budget as a leveller. Feels as though if we had signed 20 new players then that would also be used as a factor for any inconsistencies too. Clear he’s trying to put pressure on the board to release more money though.

I've no doubt he'll be on a decent wage there otherwise he wouldn't be playing his football in a place like cove. Fyvie to me is there biggest miss at the moment . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it’s already been covered, CR will continue to attract (players outwith the SPL) for top wages, most other teams in both the divisions outwith the SPL can’t get near. The only issue they may experience is going fully over to full time football, which might restrict some players giving up the day job/relocation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgenarse Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Montrose are desperate to get a defender in on loan. Can I suggest we make Mckay available with the condition that he must play against us. With the wages we save we could sign a footballer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
