DA Baracus Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 5 minutes ago, The Toun Clock said: Weird that McGowan hasn’t been signed given how bare the bench was today. Said it yesterday but it must be that he’s expecting more money. He was probably on a very healthy wage at Dundee, he’s just not going to get that with us in the Championship but I think he’ll struggle to do better. I mean Dundee Utd won’t sign him, I can’t see Thistle/Inverness/QP signing him. If we don't sign him reckon he'll end up at Airdrie (is there a more 'classic Airdire' player than McGowan at the moment?!). 3 minutes ago, The Toun Clock said: I think this will be his big season, a bit like Matty Todd did last year, I think McCann will be getting talked about all season. He looks a nightmare to play against, very physical, quick and does score goals. You’re right, he does seem to score the 20-30 yarders but miss the tap ins though! Haha aye, he might well score more screamers than tap ins! Hopefully he'll kick on this season and be a big player for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Just now, CallumPar said: Think he thrives in that left wing/forward role. Not got the pressure of being focal point up front. He’s also at his best with the ball at his feet, running at defenders. When he’s through the middle, the ball just gets punted towards him. Clearly got a lot of talent and physically he is fantastic. He’s tall, strong and quick. He hit great form towards the end of the season and seems to be continuing that. Really hope he can kick on and be a great player for us. Aye good summary there. McPake seems to have found his best position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Dundee Utd won’t sign him, I can’t see Thistle/Inverness/QP signing him. I do think there is a bit of wages to talk about. He’s used to being one of the biggest earners at this level and is going to need to wrap his head around the difference between that and what generic squad player gets. The relationship between him and mcpake is very strong and he has clearly enjoyed his spell here so it’s clearly a point of terms, I thought we would reach the shit or get off the pot point entering the league cup games but it’s possible his situation continues until the league start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 57 minutes ago, CallumPar said: Thought Raith were a very odd team. Constantly tripping/kicking/pulling back our players. Then Vaughan and Easton were diving all over the place. Slightest contact, they were screaming and rolling around, I couldn’t believe the ref bought all of that. Easton should have been off for 2 yellows, after at least 4 really obvious yellow card offences. But then we had a few obvious yellows that were also let go. Ref was alright on the whole and seemed to be trying to let the game flow, which is fine with me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moleman Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Surprised nobody has mentioned Chalmers. I thought he was poor, looked like he did first season he joined. Hope it’s just pre-season mode and he’ll shake it off. Otoo put a shift in, just need to figure out his best position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it’s just pre-season mode and he’ll shake it off. Otoo put a shift in, just need to figure out his best position. I wasn’t there yesterday, just watched on telly. Thought everyone did okay, but yes Chalmers gave the ball away a lot. What I will say, and I said it last year was he looks for the ball a lot, he dictates and starts a lot of play, therefore he’s going to see a lot of the ball, so he won’t always get it right. Sometimes he’ll try and Nick the ball to someone and it was too short and they got it. That pitch looks sh*te, all of our passes were either too long or short, the ball runs away too fast on the artificial. But yeah, he gave the ball away but I think it was just him settling back into competitive games. I think he’ll take a lot of confidence from last season and fair far better in the Championship this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Otoo looked out of position constantly. Him and Chalmers almost getting in the way sometimes too. First game in there together u think though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it has its benefits for the community etc but I hope we don’t go down the plastic pitch route again, can’t beat grass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a 1/4 zip in the same style. I think it might be exclusively for the squad. There was what would be deemed an anthem/walk out jacket we wore against StPauli. Not sure if that was exclusively for that night but it was really cool! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better than the referee tops we’re the team wear for warmups. Was hoping Errea would have a wider range of leisurewear available for fans to buy, but so far it seems to be the same kind of thing as Joma. Still time though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
