Jupiter Jazz Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Always liked Flanagan, him and Thomson on the wings should be good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Yeah I have always liked Flanagan too he used to impress me. Pacey and direct although I feel like he’s massively underachieved, he seems to show flashes of brilliance in certain games but never actually carries it out through a season. Remember hoping we should have gone for him based off a game he played against you in a play off years ago. The year we won league and you went up, Gavin Swankie absolutely bossed the game at Station Park and Danny Denholm was brilliant too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I always thought Ben Armour was quite a decent player. Not a goalscorer, but a handy forward. It's a shame he's made out of glass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll reserve judgement as I admittedly don’t remember seeing him play against us but we could do with a goalscorer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVoiceofReason Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Flanagan is a terrific player and on his day unplayable. Sadly he didn't have enough of those days for us but his ability is outstanding for this level. If the manager can keep him sweet he could be a great acquisition Sad to see him leave Stirling and no doubt he will come back to haunt us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwh Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Armour caught my eye during the covid season for Peterhead, think he’s a very decent player. Don’t know too much about Flanagan but seems positive on all accounts. Good business. Full backs next on the agenda 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame he's made out of glass. Hardly played for us with injuries certainly a factor initially. Not a great sign though that he was very much on the periphery even when he was fit. After the mess of the Ferguson era we started off under Brian Rice with a terrific performance against Cove, going 2 up with some great football. Went down to 10 men though and ended up hanging on in the second half. Connor Sammon put in a terrific shift and went off knackered late on with Armour coming on. Great chance to impress the new boss by working his arse off by pressuring the Cove defenders and giving our defence a wee break, but Armour strolled about, totally going through the motions. No surprise he was never seen again. Edited June 10, 2022 by Waspie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have summed Flanagan up perfectly there. I went from being so excited to have him sign to not being fussy that he left, in less than 8 months. There’s definitely a fantastic player in there, but during his time at Stirling, he was anonymous most of the time, but you could see he was trying, it just wasn’t happening for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridie Vision Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 From different fans opinions Armour & Flanagan seem like decent signings but not masterstrokes. Armour could be an injury-prone Shep, and Flanagan seems like a Tapping type player - there is a good player in him but very rarely do we see it - however, if he's a direct winger that could be useful for our style of counter-attacking play. Hopefully more signing news in the near future as Gary Irvine and Yussef Hussain are the only fullbacks at the club and we need someone to play alongside Slater that isn't Hutton or Harkins - Moore might be the best option there for now (although I'm sure Irvine would prefer Harkins in the other CM spot) As for Jamie Ness, I believe he was only given a deal until this summer and it's highly unlikely he's been offered another contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loon From Outta Toon Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I’m very excited with the signing on Flanagan think he will add a lot of quality to our squad but I do feel we need to get a few more quality players n for him to shine. On the Armour signing i’m not as excited however willing to give him a chance. it definitely will be interesting to see how Irvine lines us up this season. I don’t think Flanagan & Armour would of signed to just sit on our bench, which leads to the question who’s dropping out for Flanagan & Armour to come in.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridie Vision Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Scott Robertson has left the club to take up a more senior full-time role at Dens Park. Be interesting to see if Gary recruits another assistant manager or if he doesn't add to his backroom staff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the cash for a decent players wage, we don't need a bloated 'management' team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, why choose Dunfermline! Our "partnership" with Dens last season was fine, also Dundee have a better youth system than Dunfermline and are much closer to us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoonsYouthTeam Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I don't know, if there's potential for it to be a long term thing it could be good. Dunfermline's owners have big plans involving youth development, looking forward to an 18 year old "next Jurgen Klinsmann" rocking up at Station Park 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
