McPar Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Disappointed McGowan didn't sign in the end. Would have brought experience to a young squad and was already integrated with the team. Wotherspoon's Mum and Dad used to own The Hideaway on Kingseat Road, so he will be very familiar with Dunfermline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 On 20/07/2023 at 09:13, The Toun Clock said: I hope we sign him but I have to be honest, I'm not sure who's going to take him in the Prem. I think Championship is a sound move for him at this stage of his career. Quick glance at the table and realisticly only 3/12 clubs in the Premiership could be interested - Dundee (unlikely given ex StJ player), Livingston, Ross Co (likely means relocating). I don't think we would benefit from Wotherspoon, but why would it be unlikely because he's an ex-St Johnstone player? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, best of luck to him. He didn't get a starting slot in league one, I wasn't fussed. Just now, McPar said: Disappointed McGowan didn't sign in the end.

I had a few pints in the Hideaway over the years, shame it's away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh I would be happy enough with his, especially if we weren't paying his wages but would be happier with an Oli Shaw type figure on a permanent deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Those cuffs on the preview of the 3rd strip alarm me. Not keen on the colour either. Also not keen on a 3rd strip in general. Don't see a need for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I think any player we’re looking to loan from inside Scotland will be currently considered part of the first team squad and will only become available once the parent side has padded out their squad with more experienced players. We will also be expecting to pay that parent club for the loan as there’s bound to be other clubs looking to loan the better available youngsters and clubs aren’t charities just wanting to help others out and give them a player. Just now, DA Baracus said: Those cuffs on the preview of the 3rd strip alarm me. Not keen on the colour either. Also not keen on a 3rd strip in general. Don't see a need for it. The cuffs are certainly interesting. There obviously isn’t any need for a 3rd strip more a want to bring in extra cash which I suspect it will and therefore having one is good for the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 To catch up: Not fussed in the slightest if we don't sign McGowan and/or Wotherspoon tbh. The obsession over kits in this thread is baffling to me and makes me long for the league season to get underway. OS still needs a lot of work and probably shouldn't have been launched until it was ready. Latest article says Aaron Comrie has made 145 appearances for us, which I almost can't believe. Does anyone have a list of our top appearance holders for the last 20 years or so to compare, as that surely puts him quite high up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory thats about right his and Edwards are on similar numbers.

I totally get McPake's point btw, can play trialists in the league but not the cup. Makes sense to allow it in the League Cup at least given when the groups play. Personally I wouldn't have it in competitive games at all but if you can in the league then the league cup should also be allowed. Mind the trialist for Airdrie a good 10 or so years ago. Came off the bench and scored an OG within about 3 minutes. Scorer for Dunfermline, Own goal, Trialist B. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I'd love for there to be somewhere that easily shows stats like total appearances and total goals for players, like somewhere where you could type a player's name in or select them from a list and see such stats. Would also be good to see something like all time appearances and scorers lists, say a top 10 or 20. Sadly no such resource exists and probably never will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have a list of our top appearance holders for the last 20 years or so to compare, as that surely puts him quite high up? Don’t know when this list started but it’s clearly not completely accurate and must be reasonably modern as it doesn’t list Norrie, Tod snr etc so I think it does seem to cover the last 20 years or so Transfer markt appearances He’s 15th on that list with a large chunk being early 2000s players. He should surpass a a few this season to get into the top 10 but still along way off getting to numbers of cardle and mason 4 minutes ago, The Toun Clock said: Mind the trialist for Airdrie a good 10 or so years ago.

Not really played about with it but the heritage trust seem to cover the first part https://daht.org.uk/profile.php I’ve certainly seen complied lists of all time scorers and appearances, the program from the Falkirk game 2011 had both I think so somebody has put these together at least to a point but nothing online that I can find. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have a list of our top appearance holders for the last 20 years or so to compare, as that surely puts him quite high up? Not got a list. But quick search on some players: Andy Tod - 385 Gary Mason - 330 Scott Thomson - 306 Stevie Crawford - 261 Scott Wilson - 253 Joe Cardle - 244 Greg Shields - 237 Barry Nicholson - 208 Andrius Skerla - 200 Andy Geggan - 189 Andy Kirk 178 Lee Ashcroft - 164 Calum Woods - 159 Josh Falkingham - 154 Darren Young - 150 Jason Dair - 147 Probably missed some. As 101 mentions, Edwards will be similar to Comrie, both signed around the same time. Used the Heritage Trust website to get info on past players: https://daht.org.uk/profile.php ‘Appearances’ seems to mean starting appearances and sub appearances are counted separately.

I’m sure in McPake’s interview post match on Tuesday he mentioned it, maybe I picked up wrong. Hope it was me that got it wrong rather than him, don’t want him fielding McGowan as a trialist on the opening day against Airdrie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
