This was something I mentioned to the board and was one of the main 'non-moral' reasons that was put up against his signing. I won't be back, shame on the board and the manager, this was obviously a Jefferies signing and the board backed it and he (sex offender) has been forced on the manager and squad, imo he was being signed no matter what anyone said that is involved at the club, that includes the supporters. The manager should have had a serious look at himself and thought what might this do to the morale of his squad and more importantly his job, if results don't start improving pretty soon he could find himself out of work, and I'll take a hunch and say if that was to happen then Jefferies will take over from GJ. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However looking at some reports over last couple games things are hopefully coming together. Having tightened up defence we now just need to score goals What ever happened with Riordan, looked like he was doing well and getting goals and assists when he came in last season, take it City have found a better player to replace him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked Riordan but I think he was always designed to be a short term fix. Ashley Grimes that's been brought in should, and I think will, score more than any City forward from last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOFOREVER Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Apologies if I've missed it on here somewhere but what's happenned to Mr Blobby this season. Didn't see him at our game on 5/August. Hope he's OK and best wishes from the Mo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I liked Deeks as well and would have kept him- he was a good guy to talk to as well despite some past notoriety. He did admit he didn't like playing on artificial surfaces and given that we were going to Ainslie Park and quite a lot of the D2 pitches are artificial perhaps he called it a day. Still, scoring the last goal at Meadowbank was a suitable swansong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Has Sean Mackie been getting game time? He was going through our youth set up before Hibs bought him the season before last. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was going through our youth set up before Hibs bought him the season before last. Watched him closely last week against us as interested in how he does given his fife connection. got booked for a petulant foul when he thought he was fouled initially then young Cammy muirhead skinned him on the left to set up our goal so overall, still a bit of learning to do imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinters Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Parking around Forthbank is a nightmare today due to the Stirling Highland Games so advisable to park further away. Try the Retail Park and walk through Morrisons car park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Take a deep breath... Try to think of all those shitey East of Scotland games you saw Try to think of losing 12 cup finals in a row, mainly to Spartans Try to think of some of the dross that has disgraced the white shirts over the years Doesn't that put everything into perspective..... NAW!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to get our first points on the board this weekend, don't want to be getting left behind! (Again!) I saw Elgin in the Betfred cup last month, get beat 6-0 at Dunfermline and they were really poor. Unfortunately for us, they've improved recently winning their last two games. If we can play how we did at home to Motherwell we can win this, although the last three leagues we've been poor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllyMonc Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Don't think I've ever seen any player contribute less to a game of football than Grimes today. When did we become a side that just punts it long at every opportunity? Remarkable to have a years worth of experience in the league and become significantly worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did we become a side that just punts it long at every opportunity? Remarkable to have a years worth of experience in the league and become significantly worse. Couldn't agree more. Things looked promising with Grimes in the Berwick and Motherwell games in the League Cup but in the 4 League games he has offered nothing. Absolutely nothing. He doesn't chase or close down and any time he does try a tackle he fouls the opposition player. City have gone backwards since last season. BBC stats show that in the 4 league games we've had 26 shots at goal of which only 10 were on target. Only 2.5 shots on goal per game on average. No wonder we are bottom of the table. 1 goal scored in 4 games. We've got no clue going forward and now just pump the ball up the pitch hoping that a very young loanee can grab us something. Drop Grimes and get Beattie out of defence (the defence is another disaster story) and get him up front. He may not be fast but at least he'll fight for the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footiespy Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Can't agree more with earlier post. We looked completely lost today. Thought Thompson was harshly dealt with as he st least looked as though he was playing for shirt. Not sure why Caddow was replaced so early especially when it would have been better swapping Moses for Crimes. Saw Allum and Guthrie talking to a few players and others, boy how City could do with them. I wonder what they thought? Must be laughing seeing as they have a cracking Irn Bru tie next week against Linfield at home. Heard some good things about the Spartans team this season. Might think about going see them in this game to see how they play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
