Looked good and played a fantastic ball for the goal I thought that Jon Scullion when he was with us was probably the best footballer at the club. Came on and changed games and never disappointed but was always judged ultimately on his size and was released. Maybe Dougie will be more open minded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qpfc Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I’m fairly convinced one of the trialists you had was a boy called Liam McQuaid ? Left our youth team in the summer but seen a pic on Twitter that looked very alike to him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never made an appearance for us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClydeTon Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 tbf I didn't really notice him (McQuaid) much, but I don't think anyone really put a foot wrong all game. Playing against what was for the best part a Premiership-level side, for what is pretty much a youth player, that's fair praise 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaftTon74 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) can’t look too much into pre season but I thought we looked really organised against a pretty much full strength st mirren side. O’Connor adapted well at right back, but has to be starting centre back for me during the season. It’s his standout position. Feared the worst when we made all the changes tbh but it the extra energy actually benefited us against a very average st mirren side. Very impressed with Frankie Deane when he came on. Very composed on the ball and assist was outstanding. As for the cult hero Brandon. Not much to do but anything he did have to do he dealt with well. He seemed to love the occasion though and was pointing towards the badge at full time when the cowshed was in full voice.

It would be interesting to know how many who have seen Frankie Deane play would want him to get a contract. Seems from here and Twitter there are quite a few. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're challenging for a play off spot we could easily get more for the Partick and Dundee Utd games, for example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, I'd love to see us getting more through the gates on a regular basis, but that crowd yesterday was bigger than our highest crowd last season. In fact, it was bigger than anything we've had since the 2017/2018 season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks... hopefully not the case. Obviously only a friendly, but a good win nonetheless . Hopefully with that, a good run in the league cup could boost early league attendances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORleyTON Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 https://www.gmfc.net/communities-cup-post-match-debrief/ Addresses the stream issues and refund (fair play), Renfrewshire/Communities Cup naming and presentation issue. Think that's a pretty honest statement to be fair. Addressed in a reasonable timescale too. It's been said before but the social media/club statements have improved alot since the takeover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just reading this on Twitter - there quite clearly needs to be some collective action between clubs to ensure Police Scotland f**k off away from things that don’t remotely concern them, and don’t continually attempt to play the “safety” card with no accountability for their ridiculous input. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
port-ton Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 There was probably about 50 st mirren fans left by the time the players were going back in to the dressing room. There was absolutely no safety concerns for a trophy presentation on the pitch and there never would have been. We played the Renfrewshire cup final every year for god knows how long at a time when the rivalry was more intense and we managed trophy presentations just fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORleyTON Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 100% agree that the clubs should (and probably did) voice themselves to Police Scotland but from a compliance point of view they have to go with the authorities assessment, albeit too wishy-washy. It's very possible they voiced them too late though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
