Astonished lowden has been offered a new deal! Also disappointed with crawfords release, no doubt another ur injured so we dont care situation. Looking forward to some new signings and a new home kit! Would like to see us take a chance on another couple of junior players!

Easy to have a dig at the club but signing the injured and injury prone is risky no?

Of course it is but i think they should at least stand by a player until they can prove their fitness. Crawford kerr and mcmanus have all been good players i very much doubt we would have released if they werent injured

I understand what the board has done in regards to not signing injured players, even if they have done well for the club. We are not a big enough club to have wages going to players that are not playing due to injury.

And there is no guarantee that McManus or Crawford will overcome their injuries fully. McManus is still 6 months away from full fitness and even then he could have a problem that could rule him out all year. The club just cant afford it. Door is still open for them once their injuries are behind them.

But going by what various ex players have said about the board i really doubt they would want to.

watching the Forfar game on Alba, remember when Travis wasn't good enough to play for us?lol

Oh i remember that time......roughly the same time Zubadi was brought in on loan after Travis had a bad game. Boy was never given a chance to prove himself.

Where's Barclay from? Clyde rings a bell

Thing with McManus though, even just give him a lesser wage whilst he's injured and ask him to help coach or whatever, just throwing him onto the scrap heap isn't really sending out a great message to players that might want to sign for us
