Highlandmagar Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 RIP Craig Brown. Yes, he was Scotland manager for 70 games, but I well remember him at Clyde and locking horns with Thistle many times. A true Clyde giant. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kempes Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I remember writing to Craig to ask why Clyde had sold the one and only Gerry McCabe to Clydebank. He wrote a kind letter in response, explaining that it was an offer the club could not refuse. Years later, he signed his autobiography for me just before heading for the World Cup in France. I suggested that he had erred by not taking a Clyde player; Crawford Baptie was my light-hearted suggestion. He said he would give it some thought. I will always believe that Baptie would have defended ‘that’ corner better than those selected in his place! RIP Craig. Top manager and the nicest guy you could ever meet. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Crawf must be over 60 now, and he would still take bodies at a corner. A living legend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely wont be signing for us and I’m hearing the Duffster has been in contact. I believe he turned out in our friendly last night but I’ve nae idea how he played. He ticks pretty much all of the boxes in the Jim Duffy signing bingo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We couldn’t keep him fit and moved him out wide to accommodate Kyle Doherty, some laugh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bully_wee Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Isaac Layne, aka Carlos Lyon as he now calls himself. Jobber. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignoramus Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 With our record on signing strikers with a record of sexual offences - more on that elsewhere today - it certainly sounds like us! In all seriousness, after all of the fallout from you know who, signing another player with that record can be added to this board’s list of major errors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, he’s garbage! Not that it’s any type of justification, but you can’t even say “Oh well given his footballing ability…” etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Replays Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Have to feel a bit for McLean saying he wants a fit, committed and professional squad, only for the Duffster to bring in guys like Forbes and Lyon from his merry gang. Surely this model only works if the DoF and Head Coach are actually thinking along the same lines? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 To be fair, Duffy did get a tune out of Carlos Lyon. He had to personally go and pick him up and drive him to training and basically babysit him so if he's planning to do that again you might get something from him. All in though he has a horrible attitude, questionable personality and a shit name that he actually chose himself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Duffy feels like he has to turn to someone like this shows exactly how goosed we are for the coming season. He’s scored 29 goals in 149 games. Absolutely mad that Duffy feels like with those stats and the metadata he’s worth a punt. Silly b*****d. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
