Richey Edwards Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 What happened to the McGill who used to play for us? I think he came through the academy and played a few games when Roberts was manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzlemanizzle Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 The shitshow going on up at ICT is a real eye opener to how things could have gone for us if Lachlan hadn’t batted away the no gooders. He had his fans and his critics but he was certainly no Scott Gardiner. If you haven’t already had a look and you’re bored, the ICT thread will fill an hour for you. There’s something for everyone. Evil current owners, rightfully petrified fans, a wee dose of racism, crypto kings, and an introduction to the new word entering the Cambridge Dictionary 2025. Oh aye, and big Dunc ‘allegedly’ half cut during after match interviews. It’s a good read (start at page 761) but some of you might want to wait until the Netflix 3 parter. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither were very bright. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly having to stand in the SRE last year wasted my viewing experience (might be due to being a short arse and not seeing over folks heads) more than happy to be back home on the NT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dam00114 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 This game on Saturday is going to be very tough. Brown will run with Stanger and McMann CBs and given that the big Buckie forward caused them problems with his physicality last week, got to imagine that Oli Shaw is a tough match up. Suspect he'll cause us plenty of problems. Not particularly confident of a clean sheet. The flipside of that is from experience, George Oakley is more than capable of ragdolling Big Sean to get us up the pitch. They'll likely go Kilday/Mcginty CBs and not much pace there so got to look for Rus to stretch them by running beyond (ie his goal vs Killie). Got the feeling of a game that we'll need to outscore them so hopefully a better finishing day than last weekend. We'll definitely create chances against their backline 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem solved. Folk have been told for years that the atmosphere in the Somerset road end was unique and it could suck the ball in to the net. Only for a manager to come in and change it, saying the players never liked it anyway. It added to the atmosphere in the second half of games and worked when we were chasing games. I think it should be changed back personally Spoiler Because I have always stood on the north terrace and all the new interlopers can f**k off 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on which one you mean darren - mainly stuck around junior level with Glenafton and Cumnock can’t find anything on him post 2022 when he got let go by Cumnock Peter - signed for Stranraer but never broke into their team went to Troon, Clydebank and Kilbirnie seemingly hasn’t played since pre-Covid era in 2020 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muZZa__44 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 In other news good on Whitletts making it more affordable for fans to come to games if you want to watch the Moff (and also just signed Ryan Nisbet) they’re playing tomorrow against Craigmark 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk89 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 In fairness if I was sitting in the management offices at Somerset Park and the biggest concern this week coming through the mailbox is "shooting the wrong way" I'd chalk that up as a decent week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhursty7 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I'm sure we will be trying to get McGinty running backwards at every opportunity, a lot of teams will be expecting shock and awe with the two big lads up front but pre season and the LC shows we can adapt a play football as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing Rus as a 10 and then Dempsey alongside someone else behind him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all depends what kind of midfielder we sign though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
