Qos88 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Good that marsh is back but like others said no really worth the 4 hour constant twitter refresh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steeplechat Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 The hype was a bit OTT. Got to disagree. Those messages from Queens today got all the fans talking again and it’s a great piece of PR by them. Something I’ve slagged them off for in the past. Let’s all be happy we’ve a left back at last 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been far too long since we made a signing The hype was a bit OTT. It was hardly hype of Falkirk proportions tbf. Maybe not an overly exciting signing but (some) fans were asking for more publicity about signings, etc. The club seem to have done that on this occasion yet are still being criticised in some quarters. Also I don't get the clamour for Bob Harris to come back. Do fans think they will get the Bob Harris of 10 years ago or someone no longer in the flush of youth and seemingly more injury prone? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The addition of "worth the wait" has left many feeling underwhelmed even though it's a decent addition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a photo too Steeplechat will be delighted to know. It needs added to the story though when someone more proficient is available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to improve going forward which he showed signs off last year 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmy_cammy Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Tough crowd. Last week the club were shit at social media and shit at signing players. They've done both today and it's still not enough for some people. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs added to the story though when someone more proficient is available. Possibly due to the fact his defensive game is terribly iffy. Get caught out positionally frequently, struggles to hold a line and loses runners regularly. Anybody who has played left back will get this. To be fair pacy and decent going forward !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Get a grip Strange response. The fact Reilly and McShane were mentioned due to the "worth the wait" quote suggests I'm not the only one who was expecting a bit of coup. Marshall is a good signing but I'm not the only one who was expecting a bigger name today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QoS_1919 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I don't agree that the build up was over the top. We've had fans cry out for a bit of PR but now that the club have done, they see it as over the top. Can't win. Marshall is a great bit of business in my opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steakpiegravy Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Yep. It’s even stretching things a bit to call this a signing. A re-signing maYbe? At best we’ve saved ourselves a couple of months wages[emoji23]. I’m a fan of Jordan’s but this twitter build up was a bit misjudged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fae_the_'briggs Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 It seems the fanfare and bunting should only be used when we sign a "BIG NAME" player going by some on here. Every signing should be announced in the same way. Even if this is viewed by some a a re-signing it's still a player we thought would not be with us in the coming season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure phrases like "worth the wait" should be used for re-signing somebody who wanted to leave but couldn't find somewhere else - fair enough announce that a signing is coming but save the hype for when it is appropriate. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
