Waspie Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) At least we got there though. Getting pumped in a diddy cup final must have hurt, the definition of a diddy team lies in their thrashing they receive in the competitions peak. Could be worse, could have lost the semi final to you lot. It hurt all right but at least, as the memories of that dismal performance faded, we could look back on perhaps the most famous night in the club's history in the semi-final. Coming from 2-0 down in the last 20 minutes against Rangers, despite having 9 players out injured, to win 3-2 with superb attacking football, was one of the great nights in Scottish football last year. We could have lost the final 10-0 and we will always have that night. Whereas you can look back on reaching your final through shitfesting past Hibs then managing to lose to a below par, 10 men, knackered Caley Thistle. Thanks for your insightful contribution to the thread though. Happy to have DC back at the Recs. Could be doing the guy a disservice but I think his career has been blighted a little by poor moves, he should have been playing at a higher level than he has. If he can show the form he did in his previous spell at Alloa we will have a much better keeper than either of the boys who played last season and he will be number 1 ahead of McNeill. Hopefully a few really good signings in the pipeline. Edited June 26, 2015 by Waspie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) I had no idea Davie Crawford was still kicking around. One of those guys who was decent but thought he could play for Arsenal so moved on every summer chasing the impossible dream. Nae idea what he's like these days but I don't know if I'd be overly excited if we signed him for this level. Is he likely to be first choice?

CALDERON Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 it was a home game so we havent been up. Theres a wetherspoons called the Gordon Highlander but thats about all I know. We are still deciding whether to stay in Inverurie or head to Aberdeen for a night out when we go up next month for the pre season tour- if you could report back with your experiences that would be ideal Stay in aberdeen. Quick train ride up to Inverurie and you'll get a better night out and cheaper accommodation. Plenty pubs in the centre of Inverurie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think McNeill will start as first choice but DC will really push him for the jersey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigy Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Seems like all the rumours about Omar Kader coming our way will soon be official http://www.forfarathletic.co.uk/index.php?option=com_flexicontent&view=items&cid=7:latest-news&id=1863:dale-and-omar-move-on&Itemid=27 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsd Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Kader looked quite impressive in the playoff games. Obviously got pace too. Will be a useful signing I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent volume of pubs, which ones are good/bad? Any info would be great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Pubs are all reasonable enough. Won't be any bother. Gordon highlander has a good range of beers and grub, Edwards is a club/bar also so decent. Social club at the ground too. Kintore arms is about 5 min walk from the centre and ground a ten min walk from there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sevennil Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Really hope DC is our number 1 keeper this coming season. As Waspie says, he'd be playing at a higher level (deservedly so) if it hadn't been for poor choices in the past, perhaps more so by his agent at the time rather than himself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, always fancied himself as a big shot. Never quite good enough. When he was with us everyone ranted and raved about how good a 'keeper he was but I wasn't all that impressed considering the 'reputation' he came with. He is a decent player but this level might be a step too far at this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naught A Chance Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Up until we signed Danny Rodgers, David Crawford was the best keeper we had for a while. A lot of people seemed to take a dislike to him due to the fact he apparently thought he was better than he was, Good keeper though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club opens at 12 so breakfast and a beer or two in there before heading there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is a perception built up from numerous places- never come across that way when I've spoke to him, always a good laugh and didn't seem to be a billy big time. He was brilliant for us when he was last here, and in the handful of games when he's played against us I thought he was excellent. Crawford just recovered from major knee surgery too, which is why I think McNeil will start in goal- McNeil is also the new goalkeeping coach at the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC55 FFC Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Evening all Looking at booking hospitality at The Recs for the new year game for myself and a handful of others. Couple of questions if I may. For anyone that's been, is it a decent day out? Food/service decent too? Any help appreciated, cheers.

Great wee town though, everyone's friendly enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
