If these investors believes they will make any money in Scottish football they need their head examined. There is no chance of that happening with any Scottish club, never mind Johnstone Burgh, regardless of how successful this project is. They can fill the clubs balance sheet up with ‘directors loans’ if they like, they’ll never get the money back and I’m sure they know this. It’s just a football manager inspired vanity project. The question is just how long till they pull their investment. Maybe it will be next year with the club having failed to get promotion from the West Of Scotland First division, or maybe ten years with the club established and sustainable within the SPFL league system. I don’t think either scenario is particularly unrealistic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plantar fasciitis Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Was wondering how Bryan Wharton has looked in pre season for you? Has he formed a good partnership with Menzies? Was a bit of a surprise when he left Medda 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been solid at the back, and seems to be getting used to the style of play and thats been evident for the whole team as pre season has gone on. Haven’t seen them two play together as much as I’d have liked as I believe that will be our best centre back pairing next season. No complaints! He does love playing a big switch which will be useful next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Menzies ok after his horrendous head knock? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malky McDonald has predominantly been a midfielder during his time at the club but seems to be comfortable playing at centre back. Kieran Brady has experience of playing anywhere across the back line, and Dean Scott who was a summer addition from can play anywhere really. Callum Nolan who’s a centre back who came in from Arthurlie in the summer looked good in the games he played but believe he’s unfortunately no longer at the club. Menzies has recovered well after his head knock, returned to the squad for the Hurlford match and started against both Auchinleck and Beith and done well in both! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Pennel Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Sorry,...what ? You're playing big Dean at centre-half ? I'll reserve judgement on that until I see it for myself. He is a smashing big guy, and I hope he does well for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Menzies is an incredibly consistent performer and Bryan Wharton a strong defender so I think these guys will really strengthen JB a lot at the back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid defender and a genuine goal threat at set pieces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Crowd of over 700 in Keanie Park last night to watch them beat Championship rivals Drumchapel United. Definitely a bit of buzz around the town. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a bit of buzz around the town. I went along last night. £11.95 pre theatre in Spice Garden on Rankine Street before the game, then £8 entry to Burgh and £2 a lager. Terrific value for an evening out. It was a decent game, fairly even but Burgh definitely had the best chances and were worth the win. Lafferty was ok, a good effort off the bar and some nice link up play, but his first touch is absolutely rotten. Thought Menzies, Brophy and McKenzie were Burgh's best players.

Obviously spending money and bringing in L£££erty has stirred things up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect them to go on to win the league with regular crowds of 500+. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
