If 5 years down the line we are still in same situation we are in just now in regards to getting good crowds and competing at this level then maybe that’s a conversation for then but football can change for the good and for the bad very quickly so best consolidating for the time being Absolutely this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishLoon Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 That's a very bizarre goalkeeper signing you guys have made, the guys been at 7 different clubs in the past 2 years apparently and he's 31 so not one for the future either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and most of it in the juniors/non league. Obviously got to give the guy a chance - I wasn’t too enamoured when we signed Cammy Gill last season but he was fine. I watched the Junior Cup final on Friday and if that’s the standard then heaven help us - one of the keepers looked like he’d been plucked out of a kebab shop queue 5 minutes before kick off. Just means Gaston isn’t allowed to get injured…. Ever again. Edited June 7, 2023 by Tattie36 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishLoon Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) Don't get me wrong I'm all for teams giving rough lower league diamonds a go but one who I'm already hearing has a reputation for being an arse isn't what anyone needs around the place. Also while I'm hear, stop stealing our best players thought it was over after hilson but here we are again with slater, it's never Montrose or even Brechin it's always ours.

Choosing not to have the strongest team possible, is certainly a choice. And will surely lead to relegation, loss of momentum, and crowds, sooner rather than later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afc_36_0 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Lets be honest we’re not going to get anyone to challenge gaston so he’s purely to sit on the bench and play the odd cup game, if gaston got injured we would probably get a loan in. That said i would have liked someone with at least a bit of experience in the leagues. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokerson Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Its not a bizarre signing in the slightest, we have one of the best goalkeepers in the league so I don't see the point in paying a high wage for someone to challenge him but ultimately sit on the bench for a full season. I would imagine we would've been looking for a younger one like Cammy Gill but we have went for someone at a lower level who seems to have a bit experience. Hopefully a bit better than the likes of Antel who we had the year before. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeyJoe Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Let’s be honest boy is only going to play as a last resort. if Gaston was to get injured or miss a few games we’d definitely get an emergency loan or whatever. How many games has Gaston missed in a row at most in his time here 2/3 which antel looked horrific. Boy will kin the position he’s coming into so if he throws his toys out the pram im sure dick won’t hesitate to show him the door. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
