Slipmat Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 1 hour ago, Fae_the_'briggs said: According to QoS website Ambrose contract expires January 2024, not sure that necessarily means the 1st of the month though. Going by the news item on the club website* when his signing was announced in July his contract has now expired: Welcome - Efe Ambrose We have today signed Efe Ambrose on a short-term deal. The 34-year-old who was a free agent after leaving Morton joins the squad until the end of the year. I suppose there's still a chance he may sign another short-term contract before Saturday, indeed he may have already done so or has extended his current one to the end of the season but the club admin / SFA quillpushers are stretching their holidays out for as long as possible meaning the paperwork hasn't been signed off yet. * Question for Homer T - is there any prospect of the O/S club news ever being made searchable? It's actually much easier to find specific news items on the old pre-Beta site! Think it's been asked on here before but I can't remember the response. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I just looked at the player profile on the OS and it said contract ends January 2024 so wasn't sure what part of the month it meant. Worth an extension if he wants it given our injury problems in that area. Not sure how far away Brydon is from returning but Ambrose would still be decent cover even if all players are ready. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bod Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Well with the good news of both Stones and Efe signing until the end of the season we can at least field some kind of reasonable defence although I do fear Bartley might play MacIntyre at left back. If he does surely, he won’t then play Walker in front of him like he did at Hamilton as Morrison will have a field day. As for the middle of the park, W Gibson ran the show for Annan last week for large periods of the game, so we need to try and get a grip of it this week. It was good to see young Johnstone come on, but it would be a big ask for him to play in there tomorrow. Hopefully McKay will be back fit so him and Todd can sit in. It’ll be interesting to see who plays further up the park, both McGuffie (goal) and Doherty (assist) played reasonably well last week and would be aggrieved to be left out should Connelly be fully fit and return. Anyway, I’d like us to go something like below, but who knows what Bartley’s team tombola will throw out. Stones. Logan, Ambrose, McClleland. Todd, Ferguson, McKay, Gibson McGuffie, Doherty. Reilly It's a bit of a free hit for us really, so as long as we don't take a drubbing I'll take that and move on to Alloa at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 More "free hit" shite as if we are Brazil 1970. I tend to nearly always have a bad feeling before games, but I have a really bad feeling about this one. I won't feel the league is won unless we are 27 points clear with only two games left to play 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Fonda Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Was worried we might get a fuss pot, superstar Premier ref for tomorrow as I think we are due a sending off but nope just one of the usual lower league refs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does surely, he won’t then play Walker in front of him like he did at Hamilton as Morrison will have a field day. MacIntyre was probably our MOTM against Falkirk in the Palmerston match but was comprehensively ragdolled by Morrison at the Falkirk Stadium. Gibson's defensive abilities are questionable though, so I'd be tempted to start both provided we play with a back four which also allows Gibson to concentrate on the creative side of his game further up the pitch. Gibson would give MacIntyre far more protection than Walker too, who doesn't really do defending - at all. Now that we're all relieved that Efe has extended his contract and will be in the team it's a stick-on that he will have a mare tomorrow and lay a goal or two on a plate for Falkirk.

Compared to the shite we've served up over the last few seasons you're substantially far enough ahead of us for this to qualify easily for "free hit" shite.

If we played that they would rip us to shreds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridge of allan bairn Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Didn't realise Queens recent run of form was so decent with 10 points from the last 12. Given that form and we've drawn and won by one late goal in the previous two encounters on paper this should be another tough one. Also notice Gavin Reilly has been involved in over one third of Queens league goals this season so keep him quiet and that would go a long way to securing a win today. I'm hoping with Queens injury situation, us being at home and our form being excellent this game will be a different game to the previous two. Hoping for another blistering start and if we score first and early it could and should be a different kind of game. With Cove midweek would be good not to be stretched to the last minute and get some key players off, having said that, as always would take any kind of win here again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free hit patter = SHITE Aye, full time but picking up the lowest quality of the full time market due to having the lowest full time budget - hence the league position, lagging well behind the other FT sides.

It is indeed a decent run of form, but on closer inspection that needs qualified. Of the three wins, two have come from Annan and an Edinburgh City under-20s side - ie the sides below us in the table and who we would normally be expected to beat. The draw was with Stirling who are also below us in the table and who The Bairns hammered the other week. I'll perhaps consider that we might have turned a corner if and when we start picking up points during the third quarter against sides higher up the table. We could very well be flattering to deceive here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As @Otis Blue says, if we get a result today I'll maybe start to believe we've turned a corner. As it stands, I think the Montrose win was just a freak result and we're actually as bad as we've been all season. I fully expect a comfortable Falkirk win today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
