But seems to lack consistency as you never what sort of player that will show up to a game. One that is quick and tidy with the ball at his feet looking to take a powerful shot at goal. Able to hold off most players and bring others in or A player that doesnt look that interested in making the run, holding off the player and sluggish. We have played pish so that has probably had an effect on him over all. In a better team he should do well. But if your team is at a low point for too long he may just start to drop off. Talking about pish , why are the toilets not fixed . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey McKenna is ONE player i would hope we would push the boat out for even at 33 years old, he is a massive player for the Red Lichties and yes he has not had a great season but which (apart from Scottie Stewart) AFC player has had a good season? Anybody that read his article in yesterday's Courier could feel his love for Arbroath FC and everybody connected with the club. McKenna would be a stand out in a decent team in Division 1 and good be the difference of us having a good season or a great season that is how much i would be pushing to get him re-signed at Gayfield. I would be amazed if at 33 years old he would sign a part-time contract to go to full-time Falkirk, i have no doubt he could hold his own with any of their players but it must be strange if your fellow full-time team mates get dropped for a part-time player so not sure how that would work or might cause hassle in the dressing room?? AND if he ends up at East Fife i will just shake my head in disbelief. Smokies & Wine 36-0. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would see it as one last chance to maybe play in the Premiership, Falkirk a big club too - it would be appealing but like you I would love to see him stay another couple years. Also the Courier seem to have stopped putting articles online, cannot find this one either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timlichtie Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 The same information in the Sun (it was on the bar, I didn’t buy the Sun). Saying that he had offers and would decide in the Summer. It’s very hard to see him getting a better part time offer particularly with training now in Edinburgh. East Fife would need to stretch their pay structure and we know how badly that can affect the dressing room atmosphere. It could only be someone like Alloa of Falkirk and again, it’s hard to see how he would be better off. A huge favourite at Gayfield, would he risk a move at 33? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattie36 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 One thing that’s never sat comfortably with me is this idea that half of our squad are chomping at the bit to go and join the Campbells at East Fife. I got the impression that the players were just as scunnered with Dick as the fans were towards the end. Pretty common knowledge (isn’t it?) that he was a big part of Bobby and others leaving? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had these fears But Hamilton staying has made me change my mind I don’t think it’s anything to do with money either it seems a bit far fetched for me to think EF couldn’t match or atleast get very close to the wages we could give certain players especially with the Campbells there I feel like a lot of them probably feel similarly to us, love the guy but he had turned into an absolute gobshite and had seriously lost the plot by the end The Bobby comments never sat well with me at all and can’t imagine the players would’ve been too fond of them either. The fact that the fans singing a players name was ‘getting on the managers tits’ is just a bizarre thing to say It’ll be interesting to see how he gets on next year Edited April 23 by 1320Lichtie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonLichtie Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 First installment is here! Replay tomorrow, some other 1993 Scottish Cup related material on the Thursday, a wee bit on our game v Bon Accord in 1996 on Friday and on Sunday, the 23rd anniversary of our promotion winning game against Berwick Rangers I'll stuck up a 30 minute video of the highlights and celebrations I think is pretty much completely unseen footage Unfortunately on the Saturday there will be no historical highlights of good times, and we will get to see the bad times live in the flesh at Gayfield. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Housecaptain Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 If I remember, both games were delayed at the kick off to allow the crowd to get into the match. Over 3k at both games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some guy called Kieran Shanks at Peterhead who fits the profile nicely. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeyJoe Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Sure we chose shanks over Grady when he signed shanks at first 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFC360PUNK1320 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 We SHOULD have just put Shanks out on loan to Peterhead and never sold him as there is a good player in there. I would take Grady in a minute, someone that scores that amount of goals is worth a chance at 1st Division level, if it does not work out i am sure there would be loads of 2nd Division clubs ready to pay money to take him off your hands but i hope we take a chance on him.

Could be useful if we can develop him using Gallagher and McIntosh experience. We should only attempt bring in youth (not loans) if we have the capacity to be able to improve them. That seemed something we probably weren't able to do with Shanks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After many years of utter crap that was an exciting time to be a Lichtie. It was magic to be in the news and on the tv. McGrain wasn’t a particularly successful manager but the boost in profile it gave the club was brilliant. Don’t know what ever happened to my beard, made from a repurposed gorilla suit I believe. Still got my Danny McGrain t-shirt though as per my avatar. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
