Main away as well (pardon the pun) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac28 Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 No chance of a Morton rematch, Aberdeen got an easy enough tie aswell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Div Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 As above, considering we were 30 seconds away from going out the competition, to have a home draw in the last 16 against a non-OF side is very pleasing. You also have two of Livingston, Ayr Utd, Ross County and Airdrie in the Quarter Finals and that draw is not seeded so all to play for IF we can get past the Steelmen. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZingaliMan Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 19th is when I'm off to Lochcarron praying our tie is on TV. I would think it's the Celtic tie as it would bring in the most revenue for viaplay I would think and they are in need of cash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MenstrieSaint Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 1 hour ago, Div said: Certainly expect Baccus to go since the market knows we'll be happy to take whatever fee Bolton had agreed for him. Strain is a tough one. He will be absolutely impossible to replace. I'd really hope we play hardball for him. Pointless letting him go for the sort of money we reportedly accepted for Baccus. On the other hand he can go for nothing next Summer and so the board will have a difficult call to make if or more likely when a bid does come in. I can see a championship team putting in an offer for both players . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t need to sell either. with only a year left on his contract it could be a decent boost to the finances. I wonder if he will consider signing another deal with us or is his agent telling him to run down his contract and he can get a better deal elsewhere 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted July 30, 2023 Author Share Posted July 30, 2023 I'm hoping this is the week that Carson goes. Absolutely mental situation that the guy trains with us through week, is part of squad photos etc and then when it comes to matchday squad, nowhere to be found. He's now a non-contributing drain on our resources. The club need to be realistic in what they are willing to let him leave for as a pay off would cost us silly money. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not good enough/maybe too old for a big club too swoop in for him as first choice, the realistic options within Scotland where he could have left on like-for-like terms seem to have gone so chances are we'll have to sweeten a deal close to the end of the transfer window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should let him leave for nothing. There isn’t going to be many clubs wanting to pay a fee for a 35 year old keeper who will be one of our best paid players and will therefore command a relatively big wage at his next club too. The worst case - but not unlikely - scenario is the status quo endures. Carson continues to earn big money without featuring at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munoz Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Carson is the one supposedly wanting away, if anything he should be paying us to rip up the contract. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would keep them both with a view of either cashing in in January or making them a good offer to try and keep them encouraged by the fact that we,ll have had a good solid start to our league campaign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Genuinely believe that as the window nears it's close, Carson's value will increase. Not necessarily financially, but a dependable keeper that keeps fairly fit, even if they've fallen out of favour with their current team, has to seem a pretty decent option for any manager scrambling for numbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torfason Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 (edited) I would like to see the club bring in the Union and our lawyers to explore our employment law options. If he is refusing to train, play or carry out any normal duties as part of his employment then it is grounds for termination.

ATLIS Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 5 hours ago, medals said: Think it'll still be tougher than 2022 though. Some teams look like they've made good signings. The Fakes, Livi and perhaps Motherwell and Hearts all currently looking less strong in my humble opinion although there is time to sort that. I think we look a fair bit stronger actually. We've sorted the defence out and are going back to being more physical. Just depends on how players settle and if Devlin stays fit to be fair. Stephen Kelly in particular looks set for a stand out season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
