lotteryloon Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 He could've been a star for us, and if our season hadn't been an complete shambles, post Weir's car crash (literal and metaphorical).The shambles had started before the crash - that just knocked the tin lid on it. He was a decent player but just didn’t happen for him. Wish him all the best though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great player for us in the Jim Moffat promotion winning side. I don't agree with him about 14/14/14 though. Fair enough if his view is that L2 effectively forming an early voting block is a bit shit but his argument against 14/14/14 is basically, you only get 3 league champions per year vs 4 right now. And the number of realistic chances for part time teams to win a league is down from 2 to 1. That's essentially just saying more leagues are better than fewer. Might as well just say let's reconstruct into 5 leagues of 8. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he's saying is a Triple 14 league system will keep the money rich clubs in the top 8 and the cash strapped clubs way down at the bottom. Im just tired of how disrespectful or uncaring or however you want to describe it, the top teams,(the ones with money), really couldn't give a rats arse about the Brechins the the Clydes or my team Forfar. This whole debacle has made me sit back and question how Scottish football can go forward. Im really struggling to find an answer. Even without the football, daggers are drawn at each others throats., 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridie Vision Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I've seen quite a few Junior sides announcing new players. We've seen Kirky go to Darvel. Anyone heard any Forfar rumours? Or, because everyone is furloughed at Forfar nobody is signing contract extension or getting in new players. Just asking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofixedability Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Think we would be daft to sign anyone at the moment. With no crowds or hospitality or events even paying the ‘Forfar Five’ will be a struggle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I'm just bored with lockdown and wanting to find some juicy gossip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bernardblack Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Don’t agree with the chairman on the 14-14-14 set up. The incentive to get into the second league and playing the likes of Dundee, Hearts etc is there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwaka Mal Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Steven Pressley -"The relegation of Hearts is absolutely extreme.""But I think for one season only that you revamp it to three leagues of 14. And, yes, that will result in the following season with three teams relegated but surely there has to be some compassion from other clubs?"Compassion???

Of course he clearly isn't caring thinking that the following season there would be 10 teams relegated from League 1 and 7 from from the Championship if we were to revert back to 12 10 10 10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would need to finish in the top 4 just to end up right back where you are just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BendtnerBairn Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Hi Lads - hope you're all well. Just dropping in to say I have created a new Scottish Football magazine and Callum Tapping features in the first issue. He talks about his career to date and what led him to signing for Forfar - a really good read!
