Mon_The_South Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) 16 hours ago, Homer Thompson said: That first line is a bit of world salad but I'll try and digest. You asked the question under a, thinly, disguised accusation of wrong doing. A question that was asked many weeks ago and everyone else seems to have moved on from. Theres a lot of positive stuff happening on and off the field, yet you choose to go against the grain, drag up an old question, suggest theres something sinister behind it and questioning the integrity of the board and club in general. Pretty hard to see why someone would do that without an ulterior motive, to be honest. Sounds like the kind of thing someone who wanted to be involved in the club but was knocked back would say. Pulling threads so when something goes wrong, they can sit back and say "told you so" hmm I think you are 'barking' completely up the wrong tree and I am sure we've had this chat previously when you thought I am obviously someone else (that sadly didn't get accepted onto the board due to fabricated lies) Although I'm now intrigued to hear who else has been knocked back since you are obviously tied in so tightly and a font of knowledge Edited August 1 by Mon_The_South 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooshedder Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I was told and I said on here all this is to get his boy on in life. Not say we'll be forced to play him or mcl isn't here to make money or gain a bit of prestige. But the boys deal was expected and we all want the best for our kids it's a win win 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubber_duck Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 If the only perceived negative of the McLinden tenure is a two year deal to his son (who may or may not make it professionally but has an arguably better chance than others due to circumstances) against the relative positives of the last few months in comparison to the last few seasons, I’m ok with that. I just want to look forward to a season where there’s progress on the park, around the club and in the community. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to look forward to a season where there’s progress on the park, around the club and in the community. I just want us to win promotion. Lots of positives in terms of Dan, Communications and Social media, Community and stronger/ bigger/ fitter midfield and defence. My only concerns are getting at least one goal scoring forward in and keeping the squad fit. I like the communications style of Murphy and now the real job starts with him showing us results on the pitch that can get us out of this league 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did that make you so defensive? Im not sure what in my post made you think I knew of anyone who had been knocked back. You obviously know of one person, who was that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purely answering your chat that was highlighting ‘someone’.. however as it was focused on me, I highlighted the fact a discussion from ages ago where you assumed (which makes an ass out of u and me) I was someone else… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not ... it's the release of the 3rd kit ... watch as the camera zooms in on the back wall under the Portland Road terrace roof, the new strip's on a coat hangar on the wall ...

Distant Doonhamer Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Big thing for me today is that even with a number of key players missing we looked organised and resolute in defence. We look to have players who actually want to defend as opposed to those who want to stand and point rather than actually defend (the McKaiser). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 New signing next week then. Hoping for a striker but won't be disappointed with a CB given we're almost certainly going to lose one of them at some point during the season. Brydon and Douglas rightly getting a lot of praise early on but I have to say I've been pleasantly surprised with Hewitt as well. A defender that actually just gets on with defending is a fantastic addition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A defender that actually just gets on with defending is a fantastic addition. I'm hoping it's a striker, I don't think I could stand much more of watching McKechnie in that role. I don't mean to be hard on the lad but I'm also hoping it's just shortage of available alternatives that he's getting game time at all and that when injured players become available or others are brought in that will see him dropped to the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
