Mathies end of season accomplishment round up is going to be some reading next season. It's almost as bad as when Uncle Ian joked about us signing Boyd. Some of our fans were salivating over a geriatric attack of Boyd & Doolan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Problemo Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) When you look at Cammy Smith, who by all accounts has been poor for years, managing to get a side just relegated from league one in England, you really have to wonder how (allegedly) the best offer Dipo is getting is one who finished towards the bottom of league two.

Cammy Smith moving for free remember, Dipo is obviously better but clubs have to weigh up the £250,000 before wages cost of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A JCB scoop is not generally capable of just deleting buildings. Though that said, good metaphor for the club's transfer dealings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are extremely obvious logistical advantages here which I am surprised people don't realise. It's not like all of of the players who perennially rotate around the clubs in Angus or Fife necessarily have a strong sexual attraction to a) the smell of fish or b) being five miles from an off license. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callum-ayr Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Dolan seemed to do well at Cumnock last season by all accounts. Thought he'd maybe have gotten a couple years on his contract and went out on loan, especially given his age, but maybe didn't want to stay on here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a massive step up from doing well at Cumnock to being ready to play in the Championship though. I hope his move to Stranraer works out well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I was saying going out on loan to a Stranraer/Dumbarton type league team and seeing how he progressed there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the age of 20 I'd be hoping for our more talented youngsters to be in and around our 1st team. Reading that back sounds overly harsh so apologies, but that's the reality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muZZa__44 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I think it’s the case of he’s 22 and we’ve had players Younger then him who have already broken into the first team (Hewitt, Smith, Bryden) and you have players who are in a similar position that are younger and potential could be better (Viviani) I hope Dolan does very well at Stranraer cause end of the day he still promotes our youth academy and will hopefully show that even if they don’t make it for us they are good enough to still play for a senior club at a decent level (look at James Hilton for example) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
