Ivo den Bieman Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Bolo & Matty Allan in a back 3. Sean was at Brechin City that season. It seems he didn’t leave until 2012 however so he had a couple of seasons longer than I remember. Outlasted Tweed anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonglum25 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Things starting to look good at the moment. For once we have made our signings early and not the last minute scramble that has seemed to plague us before. Should give the players time to bond and get to know each other. Phoned the club yesterday , thanked them for the offer of the season ticket money and told them it was a donation. Hope others follow suit and it may go towards another player. Onward and Upwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazilianlex Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 The business being done early thing is interesting and is reflected across the Divisions. The vast majority of players are nowadays contracted to mid June so in effect are still players of their Club till then and cannot be registered with the SFA by another Club until that contract expires. Stenny got caught by that with the infamous Harvest Swann debacle but I’m sure they are confident that they won’t repeat that mistake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Vimto touched on this earlier but people seem to be under the impression they need to contact the club to tell them to keep the season ticket money. We are not going to be automatically refunded so unless you want to receive a refund there is no need to actually contact the club to tell them to keep the money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesc Fabregas Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 (edited) The club have announced the new kits for the season and I have to say: I like it. It's bold, the pattern is wonderfully abstract and it's got a nice cut. It also looks like we've launched it in association with Stonewaller, which is pretty cool.

You also appear to have got Berbathom to model it for the launch. Really disappointed that the Sons weren’t in a position to offer him a deal when he was free. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francesc Fabregas Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) I am never going to doubt Midnight Express ever again. Callum Tapping has left the club and moves on to Edinburgh City. That's a disappointment. I thought he was largely good last season and would have been an asset this year. I would have had him ahead of Ross Forbes and Nat Wedderburn, that's for sure. I hope his wage will be reinvested in a quality replacement. I'm not convinced by our options in central midfield (although I appreciate we have yet to see them play).

true fan Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Wonder what the clause was? Obviously not offer from team in higher league or full time club. Surely not higher wage or warriors failure to appear in play offs or change of manager? I’d be curious to know. Sorry to lose him. Signing his brother and passage of time from midnight empress’s rumour was raising hopes that it wasn’t true. Makes me wonder what the point of a contract is but maybe we have to include clauses or we couldn’t sign certain players. If we do have to let him go a few bob would have been good. FF mentions investing his wage - I hope our current signing weren’t made factoring in tapping’s wage and we can still use it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have just strengthened one of our rivals for league/playoffs with what would appear no financial compo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FF mentions investing his wage - I hope our current signing weren’t made factoring in tapping’s wage and we can still use it.Given it seems to have been common knowledge he was leaving, I am assuming we have spent his salary on the recent additions. A midfield of Forbes and Wedderburn bothers me as neither are particularly mobile. As FF said a while back, how does that midfield duo align with Swift’s stated policy of an energetic, pressing team. And then there’s Crichton...Still optimistic that we will get the right blend of players making the step up and those with league experience but losing Tapping is a concern. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 In fairness there is more chance of me and Vimto being paired as a midfield two than Wedderburn and Forbes. Best of luck to Tappy at Edinburgh. A fantastic player on his day but regressed as the season went on indeed I can't remember a decent game from him after the restart. Him and Brown will be a good wee partnership for Edinburgh though I would imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 The clause was "if a club comes in for me that plays in white shirts because it makes me look cool and has Bitter and Twisted for sale in their Social Club then I reserve the right to leave" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
