shawfield shed boy Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 King will become a good player like Tiffoney did just one example or Kris Doolam who both didnt look up to much when on loan to us and how did that work out for those lads! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREDDYFRY Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 (edited) It sums our season (up till now hopefully) when we are looking at young loan players to be our main players… never going to happen, L2 sides don’t get that quality of boy. Loans at our level normally supplement the main squad. As I say fingers crossed we get the targets we are after so we can look at loans to add to the squad for depth rather than necessarily starting.

Not that I want players playing outwith their normal positions, but I wonder if we’ve brought him with that versatility in mind given how rubbish our options currently are at full back? Hamilton was a Left Back when he broke into the Stirling set up as a youngster, but is very much a Centre Back and a really good one for this level. It's been said above (but I couldn't get onto P&B yesterday) but you've got a player that's probably amongst the best in your Division, and is really good on the ball, in fact, there was hope amongst some of our support that he would return to Forthbank, but obviously not 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocelot1877 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 The issue with King is that he is a bit of a luxury player currently playing in a team that can afford no luxuries. As others pointed out if he has went to a Falkirk or a Hamilton or a top end League 2 team he would be getting on better 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullyweehutch Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 So what now. The board pretty much had all their eggs in the one basket. Can't see us jow becoming anymore than the next East Stirlingshire now.

Davy the Dug Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Was almost expecting it when talk of a Plan B came up. Yes it’s good that we were thinking ahead, but always had a lingering doubt that perhaps the BoD knew something we didn’t. Hugely worrying for the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREDDYFRY Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) Always going to be difficult in not impossible given the individual Councillor that was himself involved in the Finnart bid.. all a bit “iffy” to say the least. Cant actually fault those involved in our bid, they must be gutted as they presented a fantastic case and met every criteria asked. Just need to move on now unfortunately Edited December 21, 2023 by FREDDYFRY 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLClyde Posted December 21, 2023 Author Share Posted December 21, 2023 The board have been justifiably criticised at times, but to pin this decision on them isn’t in my opinion. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the board have been guilty of naivety. Competing with a locally rooted organisation who had the backing of LOCAL councillors, meant we were at a horrible disadvantage. I hope we learn from the experience. With onfield and off-field results, it would be a good time for those at the helm to reconsider their positions. This isn’t intended as a personal criticism but just sense check that we need to change things up...you know the old saying about doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bully_wee Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) It's obviously a profound disappointment, as Crownpoint looked wonderful - plenty of existing infrastructure there to build around, very close to our traditional home, ideal type of community, brilliantly located for a matchday experience. As others have said though I don't think the board can be blamed for this one - having read both parties' initial admissions to GCC, there probably only should've been one getting close to it on merit. The club won't say too much as the ultimate goal of relocation to Glasgow depends on maintaining a positive working relationship with the council, but the mechanics of Finnart's bid all sound fairly crooked to me. As far as 'back-up plans' go, it sounds as though there is another available site which some on the board and relocation group have a similarly strong interest and belief in; Thomson's words at the fan meeting the other week were that they "wouldn't thank you for calling it a back-up", but that the site mentioned would require more work initially than Crownpoint would have. It sounds as though, despite the CP bid remaining their priority, some work on that location has been going on in the background while waiting on this decision. Hopefully we are in a position to hear more on that one soon. Edited December 21, 2023 by the_bully_wee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlandmagar Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Maybe GCC feel that you have been out of Glasgow for so long that you are no longer a Glasgow club, therefore dont deserve to play in Glasgow. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
