So, apparently, was Sheridan, and he worked out ok for us in the run in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Was Sheridan another one of Ferguson's "dinnae like" characters? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiderFromMars Posted Tuesday at 14:15 Share Posted Tuesday at 14:15 Sad to see Bannon go, was hoping for the club to be able to hold on a bit more for the young players than selling them outright (McKenna, Bannon, etc.). Hopefully this is not a trend but a necessity (at the time) - the club should try and play them for 2/3 years, get a replacement in the meantime (preferably another youth coming through) and sell them on a high while securing it's own future, rather than this stop-and-go period. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmsy Posted Tuesday at 14:49 Share Posted Tuesday at 14:49 Good that QP are getting fees for players. That was the reason for the move away from amateur in the first place. Also to enhance the academy and both these things have been achieved in a short space of time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an86 Posted Tuesday at 17:02 Share Posted Tuesday at 17:02 Entirely predictably, the Celtic game doesn’t look to have captured the imagination. Feels inevitable that we’ll end up squeezed into one section and selling hundreds of away tickets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, according to Shields, Celtic are mandated to play a "first team". I don't know the exact terms of that, but I'd imagine it means players that have played x minutes in the premiership last year or whatever. You might not see the full first 11 but there ought to be recognisable names in there. Worst comes to the worst I've got a pal in the Celtic U18s so I might get to see him getting booted by Charlie Fox 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have liked to have kept Bannon another season, but the McKenna one I can understand. I don't think you can justify keeping a sub goalie (albeit the best sub goalie in the league) around to develop when you can get £300k cash in hand. I don't know all the financials but I'd imagine that money went to paying Danny Wilson and co's wages, which kept us up last season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider Rico Posted Tuesday at 19:38 Share Posted Tuesday at 19:38 I guess this is what happens when you put a not particularly successful or experienced football agent in charge of signing negotiations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone at the club has over-estimated how much of a draw watching Celtic is to Queen's Park fans. If it had been free for season ticket holders I'd probably have gone, but £15 for a friendly a few days before we're away to Peterhead then Hibs in competitive games is a bit hopeful. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted Wednesday at 09:03 Share Posted Wednesday at 09:03 I wouldn't be opposed to paying 15 quid for a genuinely exciting friendly; Celtic absolutely isn't that, I'm afraid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Rico Posted Wednesday at 09:39 Share Posted Wednesday at 09:39 Seeing our paper thin squad played off the park by the Celtic first team (not appealing) or Seeing our paper thin squad take part in a training exercise with Celtic B Team (not appealing) Presumably both options also come with a bunch of local wee guys trying to get in having not been able to get actual tickets 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuntiethumper Posted Wednesday at 11:47 Share Posted Wednesday at 11:47 If a friendly fixture with the Premier league champions doesn't excite then what will? Personally the Celtic fixture is probably the only one in July that tempts me. No disrespect intended to Peterhead and Co but I've got other things I could be doing on my Summer Saturdays. I would like an away day in Leith for the Hibs game but a Tuesday night fixture makes that a very tricky ask with work so I reckon I'll end up watching that at home. A few good signing announcements might change my mind though but until then I'll probably wait until August to catch a game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
