Slipmat Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Really pleased with the Kennedy signing. I've always been impressed with him when I've seen him, the only downside being that with being a right-footed left winger he does have a tendency to cut inside to get the ball onto his stronger foot before passing/crossing rather than cross with his left. But, a very good signing for this level all the same. I had Dickenson marked down as being our first choice left winger... I wonder if Murphy plans to use him as a left back or striker? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the Pantheon, Pyramids and Great Zebra Migration before so if anyone has any other touristy ideas? View the run- down statue of Rabbie Burns, followed by lunch in Weatherspoons, take in the sights of the closed down shops on the High, Srreet, hopefully avoiding being targeted by the gulls, then down the Vennel to see more closed down shops, onto the Whitesands to see the river at low level and more gulls sunbathing on the gravel banks. The fountain in the High Street looks nice and no problem if you fancy a haircut, there must be about a dozen barbers in and around the Town Centre. Sit out at one of the many pavement cafes, again try avoiding being targeted by gulls. If you cross the river you can visit the Museum and Camera Obscura, assuming that it isn't closed again that is.

Happy with Kai Kennedy. I liked Lee but I think it’s more about attitude than skill, sadly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneeuq Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 To be honest think the way the team are shaping up Lee could have had a cracking season with Queens. Would have liked him to stay but did act quite amateurish at times so can see him ending up at a part time club next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like the idea of Lee Connelly but at same time doesn’t really sound like it would be a great idea. If he’s acting unprofessionally and not looking after himself properly at Full Time level not really sure how that would benefit anybody, a club or himself, if he went Part Time - if anything he’d have to act a bit more professional to allow himself to stay on top of his fitness when he’s away from football in a working environment and not got the benefit of that extra couple days training to help him.

They had to demolish it cos of the number of big cracks in the wards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Mcleod Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Kai looked very promising for Accies when he played with us under Stuart Taylor sadly only played a few games for us then got injured but I can't remember him having a bad game for us and always was decent I would have took him back definitely a championship level player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've time to kill during the day and fancy sampling a bit of the old country's ancient history then a wee short trip south to Caerlaverock Castle is pleasant and there's a nice wee cafe on the auld quay at Glencaple en route. As boys we used to cycle down to the castle and get chased by the castle warden ... happy daze ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenacres Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Looking like Reagan Mimnaugh is signing for East Kilbride. Surprised we never tried to keep him but maybe to much of a risk after his injury. Decent player but like with Connelly we move on . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are Gates M2 and M3? Presumably they are the Ice Bowl side access to the Portland Drive Terrace? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
