Mattmc Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Don't always agree with chasing former players but see Mark Stewart has been released by Raith. Six goals in eight gams for us during his loan spell with us, all be it a good few seasons ago. At 28 he might still fancy a craic at full time football if it's on offer. Certainly a position we need to strengthen in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite glad we wont be facing him next season. Sad seeing a player who is a stand out at this level (most of the time) drop down a division.

Corner Kick Conquistador Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Wullie Gibson has signed for Peterhead! Him and McAllister will link up well there. Sad to see him go and it's not as if it's easier with regards to travel. I'm guessing he will be on better money.

Rosie11 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Another good capture made by your manager - not a player mind you - but bringing in Stuart Wild to run the Under-20 team. Came in after the turn of the year, and played a huge part in your Under-20s finishing higher up the league than they did last season( bottom), I know Stuart very well. Had some great footballing teams at Renfrew Vics over many a season, was involved at Kilmarnock for some seven years, and is a former Sunday Mail Grassroots Coach of the Year. Knows his stuff and will improve the work ethic of those players even further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie11 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Seriously!!!! He came in at the tail end, claiming he "made a huge part in your under 20s finishing higher up the league is utter CRAP. Maley and McGowan (coaches) started that squad from nothing. All the boys were 98 born and had 3 years at it. Finished 2nd bottom in 1st season with McGill, Turner and Kemp moving into 1st team. 2nd season saw them get great results and competing against full time clubs like Morton, Airdrie and Ayr (although not full time) which saw Sherrie, Maley and McGowan involved in 1st team. They finished 3rd bottom from a league of 8 when Turner (coach) left and Wilde came in as number 2 with 5 games to go and the same squad being used. Maley has now moved on and the blueprint has been left for year three which was always the plan when Stranraer 20s would begin compete. So let's get our facts right here before singing praises!! Mr Wilde may be your pal but certainly can't take the credit for the 20s year on year growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoAmI Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 So Willie Gibson has decided to sign for Peterhead????? Well they also tried to sign 2 of East Fife players for silly money but were turned down and they resigned for us. So therein is the answer he is a money grabber.

Hopefully Mr Wilde will instill a bit more passion to the 20s and fingers crossed be a tad more dedicated than his predecessors. Also finishing anything higher than bottom has got to be a bonus and to be fair before he arrived on the scene it didn't look like they would get even that.

Think Kemp also signed as a first team player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattmc Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Disappointing decision from the club not to offer the early bird deal on season tickets this year. Trying to make up for it by including two friendlies and entrance in to reserve games but that doesn't really wash. For those that travel home and away the South League games aren't much use. FC Twente friendly is attractive but game against Larne is like a game against Girvan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FC Twente friendly is attractive but game against Larne is like a game against Girvan. I've heard a few others not overjoyed with this, however we are still relatively cheap compared to other clubs in the division and the south of Scotland games will be handy for some of the support that can't make as many away games. I get your point though mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea, maybe a couple of wide players as we seem to be lacking there. Hopefully Dick will be re-signed and possibly Kassaratte? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattmc Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Can't say I remember him standing out for Peterhead against us but that's maybe just poor memory on my part. Nice to have a wide player added. We now have nine players who can play in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
