I take it Shanley was injured? Otherwise I was amazed by that substitution! Surely Offord was the correct choice to replace Shanley, as at least he's a striker! Our goal threat disappeared once we went down to 10 men (well, when McLean came on!) so was pleased we saw the game out. Boys played well though, finally earning a great win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey big Russell actually headed a ball and controlled it - I was asking about if anyone filmed it for posterity 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't recall a City player getting as much stick, so lets hope he can turn it around. He did have a decent goalscoring record for Peterhead but that was many moons ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could copy and paste that for his time with us too. He'd always caused us problems at Peterhead and Montrose, but aside from the odd flicker here or there (a good cameo against Bonnyrigg and two really well taken goals against Annan and Bonnyrigg) he was a shadow of that player for us. I think he was always wildly inconsistent and very much a confidence player. So a bad injury followed by time in a woeful Peterhead team, a Dumbarton team on the slide and then you lot this season has probably crushed that confidence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was aware of his (poor) spell with you last season, and therefore really surprised when I heard we signed him! Hopefully he starts doing well for us, but at the moment looks about as dangerous as Bambi on Ice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenkay Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 So. Scottish cup action this weekend and a trip up to Montrose. Can't say I'll be bothered if we get knocked out, but still, with momentum building a win would be pleasant and hopefully draw a money spinner tie in the next round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree - not vital but if we do win and get a big team away then good 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenkay Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 So we've at wee journey over to Kelty this weekend. Last season I'd have expected a win, but this season Kelty seem to have a much better team so this will be a challenge for us to get any points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Kelty are good team this season, so I'm doubtful if it's worth getting hypothermia to go see probably a loss.

AllyMonc Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Not linking to The Sun but story out there now. I found out today and can't really add much. Only thing I'd say is that the club should have been on the front foot about this and made a statement weeks (months?) ago explaining the financial position, the reasons behind it and started working with the players to come to an agreement and way forward rather than letting it break in the f**king Sun after the players went to the PFA or whatever. I've told the club there needs to be a statement tonight outlining things or at least acknowledging what's happened. Absolutely grim. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeodhasXD Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Think everyone saw this coming after your previous boards comments about a year ago when you were sitting second. The new guys come and but can't leverage the money they thought they could and end up in the same position as the previous guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, there's a long list of men convinced they could make more money in Scottish football than the previous guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowdenleith Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Sad news but hardly a surprise. I did wonder on this thread in the summer how you could afford to pay a team with around 2/300 fans (paying little more than Lowland League admission) without an extremely rich benefactor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Best of luck lads, I know things weren’t great but I had hoped the summer cut backs would have been enough to keep the wolfs from the door. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
