1320Lichtie Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Apparently we're signing a left back from QOTS who was on loan with you guys last season. Rutherford? Thoughts? Does a job. About all you can say. Like I said on your thread he looks like a centre half at left back and looks a bit awkward at centre half, if that makes any sense whatsoever. Decent enough defensively but will give you zero going forward from left back. Be a useful back up I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is anywhere as good as Travis, another Arbroath reject, we will be delighted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munro is nowhere near as good as Travis, but a decent player at this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Andy is decent in the air but every long ball ends up in the stand 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munros level probably is about L2, just young though so room for improvement. Raw, good defensively and a scary big bass. Would've like d to see him stay but can understand why we've not kept him. Good luck to the guy, seems sound and committed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtie23 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Too many centre backs at Gayfield?Nope. Munro just wasn't very good and not a player that impressed Dick Campbell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Too many centre backs at Gayfield? Naw. We've currently got 2. I think he was decent personally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afc_36_0 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Munro was a pretty standard junior player, big solid lad that was shown up against any kind of quality. A decent squad player tho and still young enough to improve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterlichtie Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Too many centre backs at Gayfield?I wish. Currently not enough players. Not sure we can wait for these possible loan signings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonLichtie Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Beat Dundee U20s 2-0 last night, but obviously pre season results are an utter irrelevance and it's all about fitness, trying things and giving trialists some game time to judge them. However, Pongo and Omar Kader showed up well and I'm already quite excited to see them in competitive games. I thought Stevie Doris was a trialist until 5/ 10 minutes in when he got closer, he's lost a fair bit of weight. The only players we've got signed up who didn't get any game time were Mikey Dunlop, who was there but unused so may be carrying a knock, Bryan Prunty and Gavin Malin and I didn't see either of them so would suspect they're still on holiday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonLichtie Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I also managed to have a chat with the chairman last night regarding our game against Inverness U20s, and unfortunately the dream of us representing the club is dead. While JC thought the idea was a good one, the SPFL have rules where we need to play our strongest team (seriously) and if we played a weakened team they would probably fine us. Sadly this fine would probably outweigh the costs we would save by playing the fans. I'm fairly confident that if we had tried this last season it would have been okay, and the only risk we would have run would have been when we reverted to the 'first team' after the fans played, which could have been viewed by the SPFL as a weaker team considering it is highly likely that we would have performed better than the 'first team' did in the majority of games. Since the dream is dead, I shall revert to my backup plan of camping from the Saturday to the Tuesday in the car park of the Caledonian Stadium with several hundred litres of white cider for company. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
