thistledo Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Given how we've promoted internally seemingly regardless if it was merited or not, he'd be wise to stick around if he can. Additionally given, McDonald, Roy, Mansell, Coulibaly are all either away or likely to be away. If Doolan leaves, we just have...

DazzJag Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I'd like to see Doolan offered a coaching role at Firhill and give him the opportunity to go and play first team football with a part time team. He looks a shadow of the player he was but there is definitely still a place at Firhill for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I think we might sign Mansell tbh, he's obviously not going to make it at Blackburn and even at this level I don't think we'd face much competition. Caldwell's post game jagzone interview on Saturday talked Mansell up a fair bit in terms of how he's improved in a short space of time, as did Mcdonald. Haven't actually listened to the one with Mansell himself tho... Incidentally, as someone whose main sticking point with GC is /was his manner and media persona, the aforementioned interview was very good and honest, acknowledged failure overall and mentioned no celebrations at the outcome. Shame about 50 people will have seen it due to pay wall. I wonder if we'll keep that up next year, think only us and DU were the only teams to charge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mansell's interview was quite interesting, he was speaking as if he's signed up for next year. Seemed a weird interview if a deal wasn't already done but maybe i'm reading a bit much into him still considering himself a Jag in that moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said the very same to my pal, definitely sounded that way. Think there’s a player in there somewhere so a wee 2 year might be a good piece of business. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I thought Mansell was rotten but he’s shown something in his last couple of appearances. Reckon we might take a punt on him.McDonald is off to Australia according to Keith Jackson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VladimirMooc Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Doolan won’t be offered anything. Clearly hasn’t been great this year but he deserves a hell of a lot more than that. To release - as that’s what it’ll be - maybe our most popular player and best striker of the last decade in the middle of his testimonial year seems, well, a bit of a joke really. Also not the best way to build on the goodwill that may have been generated given the end of season form... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Any goodwill generated by giving Doolan a new contract for no more than sentimental reasons would quickly evaporate anyway. I hope last season was just a blip but I suspect otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) Just about any time Lewis Mansell has featured in some form in one of our games, I've criticised the f**k out of the decision to play him and he's then made me look like a dick by either scoring or setting up a goal. With that in mind, it would be a terrible decision to keep Mansell as he's clearly not good enough. ETA - rubbish news about McDonald. Would have loved him back next year.

Just watched it there, I see what you mean about him saying things like "we need to push on next season" but it could just be footballer-speak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colliedug Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Dools will get a deal no doubts about it albeit a role as player/coach emphasizing more on the coaching side of it and probably only be used as a striker when we are struggling with injuries/suspensions. I personally think it's a no brainer for all parties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Dan Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Good luck to Scott McDonald on his move back to Australia. I have no doubt that had he not signed for us we would at best have made the play offs or would have finished bottom instead of Falkirk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
