Well Well

He was sitting in the main stand watching that. Two and a half hours driving down to Stranraer to get a rid neck. My god that was an embarrassing 2nd half. Hartley was being turned inside out by that centre forward and Kipre fared no better against him. What is it with us and only turning up in the first half of games?. The thing that worried me most was our guys getting out muscled all over the midfield by much much smaller players. If Main could concentrate on trying to score goals rather than embarrassingly trying to win fouls by constantly falling over would be a start. Anyway, its preseason and the quicker I forget about this game the better. Edit: as for the hoofball today (again). Its getting too easily read now by every team and we need to play football on the deck. If I could read every single diagonal ball played from defence from the stands, the footballers on the park did so and mopped it up very easily

McHugh strolled through this game. Not one pass went astray and he was fairly lobbing them about the pitch. He looked very relaxed and won every tackle and header. What a difference. Apart from that we took our goals well and sat back really in the 2nd half. Gorrin looks comfortable on the ball, with some nice touches and passes and was always looking for the ball.

As much sell on value as an England World Cup Winners T-Shirt

Carl McHugh steps down as Captain which Hartley has now taken up.

God I hope not, how much more of preseason has he already lost, all the fitness and stamina stuff for a start. He was already massively unfit when he joined and missing the start of preseason isn't making him an attractive proposition. If he had any chance of signing he should have done it ages ago

that home player walking back from last goal looked about 14..!!

some pedantic people on here...not that long ago we nearly lost this club forever now we have people turning their noses up at legal companies willing to plough a good bit of money into the club to secure our future, unbelievable snobbery.

is he not a winger?...lol 15 million...good woosh

thanks for that man, I know you dont have to justify posts but that certainly sheds a bit of light on why and how for me. Probably not come off after all its us but what a signing that would be

lol I kept looking at that post and thinking the same and a bit gobsmacked that I couldnt reply

Someone mentioned possibly a spaniard earlier, was there something in this or another rumour or straw clutching?

All part of Robinsons plan from the interview hoping the guys come back at christmas and push for a first team spot. Fingers crossed the guys prove their worth and come back and show everyone they deserve a spot in the first team

Yep, good to see these signings coming in although its also fun seeing folks on here making all sorts of weird and wacky players up, passes the time. Also noticed that the usual posters who seem to have a source in the squad and were usually accurate seem to be pretty quiet re signings

Dont think he is in the 'cant believe we got him' mould as Rickoza puts it..decent player though

Never heard of the player. Hopefully as good as Carson and another we can profit from in the future. Can't find any videos of the guy in action for his previous clubs

nah just a pair of moaning pricks....they must love the dark nights

All I read is blah blah blah fucking moaning prick

I think with Carson i personally would prefer a straight cash deal than any percentage of future transfer as lets face it he will rarely see game time and celtic will just let him go on a free when they are done. This needs to be right for our club, not Hartlepool or Celtic

That would be suicidal for our own business model. Then how could we expect clubs to honour our future transfers fees.

Hartley, Main, Tanner, Frear, Dunne. They will all be sold and make money...Our business model is working perfectly well so far or are you blind..One or two didnt sell and have been let go, not every business model is 100% guaranteed but we have done bloody well from it so far

They will all be sold when and if the right bid comes in, Every single one. especially Main and Hartley and Tanner

Why?, He is working to our business model. He is not going to buy a player like that with absolutely no sell on value that's why the whole system has been set up. We buy or sign up frees who have some potential to sell on or have you been hiding under a rock since Robinson came in. This is especially true when we actually pay cash for a player up front, its an investment. We dont buy him in the hope not to sell him on thats business suicide. You slate Burrows then Hartlepool, you must be a right good businessman as you seem to know how shit everyone else is

what a load of utter pish
