RC55 FFC Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Cheers to everyone that was able to come to the Fortress Brockville event at the Inchyra last night, just over 200 . Lots of money raised for the academy & the stories were brilliant from the 4 legends . Not to mention the questions & stories from the Bairns at the tables too John & I can relax now & go back to the safety (& comfort) of YouTube & Spotify etc 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Well that's Ross signed for the season which is great news, assume he can play today now too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant news. Well done everyone at the club for getting that done early so it not to drag out and become an issue in January. And yes I think it would be safe to assume that Ross will start today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proudtobeabairn Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Good news! Hopefully still some cash left for those other 2 options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt that extends further than January so the question is can we afford to keep him? Going by what Raith fans have said he's likely on about £1.5k a week. Assuming the increase in FSS numbers and a bit of Christmas goodwill means we can stretch to 1 signing in January it might be a choice of: 1. Extend Ross 2. Bring in someone who can play a different position (e.g a striker to challenge MacIvor) 3. Use the money to offer extensions to Morrison, Donaldson etc Tough choice! In order, I'd go 3 - 2 - 1 and I say that as someone whose been quite impressed by Ross I think you’ve also got to factor in money that could become available if we send some of our own players out on loan. Guys like Allan, lawal and McKay could all head out on loan imo. Could see someone like Allan going to Arbroath for example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde are desperate and have a bit of cash now I wouldn’t be surprised if Allan ended up back there on loan if we have a couple more attackers lined up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proudtobeabairn Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Would be excellent if we could loan some out. McKay and Allan definitely but Lawal getting minutes somewhere else could be the making of him too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s only contracted until the end of the season and I know it’s still early in the season but I just don’t see that getting extended, and you would also have to say he’s not done anything (so far) to warrant an extension. I feel a tad bad for him, obviously a player in there but he’s had less chances this season than he did last season and I just don’t see that changing. You have to wonder why Mcglynn gave him another year if he’s just not going to play him. The mckay one is a bit weird to me. Got injured presumably in training, been out for months but nobody, including the manager seems to know what the injury actually is. I do wonder if he’s given up on playing for us or if Mcglynn has told him privately he’s surplus to requirements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy1876 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I like Lawal but I just don't think he is beating anyone else to a first team spot. Miller, Ross and even Nesbit are probably ahead of him in the pecking order. No doubt he has a huge amount of talent and skill with the ball and can be unpredictable which can cause havoc. But his first touch is often abysmal, balls run away from him all the time and he is so weak that any defender coming close to him is almost surely getting the ball with a gentle nudge. Maybe going out on loan and getting game time would help strengthen that up. If we had more money or were in the championship I would say he would be worth a gamble for extending his contract to see if development would make him a sellable asset in the future but don't think we have the flexibility for that at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big chungus Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Very strong team. Should easily beat Fortmartine. Time will tell how it impacts results against Montrose and cove tho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gav-ffc Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Not entirely convinced that players “need a rest” we’ve been playing one game a week and the players have had 7 days since the last game to recover. With another game on Tuesday the training will be light on Monday and most players prefer playing games to training. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Absolutely no disrespect to our opponents, this is entirely a reflection of my hangover and associated desire to get up the town and cure it.... Get these absolutely thrashed by HT Bairns. 5 goals please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
