redandyellowallover Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) When the leagues restarted I would have been interested in someone like him, with his level of experience. I think taking him for next season when we're stepping up a division isn't the right call. Edited to add; The only real upside to him signing would be the benefit to Rudden in learning off of him.

jaggymct Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 I do wonder if it might be as much as to coach the younger strikers as to play. Cant see him being anything other than a backup at his age. Having said that Kenny Miller turned 40 while a regular starter at Thistle .

I'm not suggesting it but the same would apply to Kris Doolan. Only saying and I may be wrong but I think Doolan is ahead of Dobbie in the coaching side of things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I note on the TV report a simple majority was required 9 out of 17 I think ... they change the majority level to suit the vote so it's undoubtedly a done deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with all of above down to McIver. I would give McKenna (and Lyons) another season. I have long advocated letting Cardle go however and albeit we were in League 1 I think his performances merit another short contract - a year! I know it smacks of jobs for the boys but would prefer Doolan as our striker coach! I think we need to sign a couple of strong midfielders, preferably one with pace. A goalkeeper if we can't get Wright on a season long loan and a pacy right fullback! Finally one more striker! Not sure about Connor Murray - jury is still out IMO! Morrison and Telfer (Falkirk) wouls be good signings also the tall blond haired player from Montrose, was he one of the Bannatyne brothers? I am sure there are others I would like to sign but it's getting late. We do however need cover in most departments and do need to strengthen the squad as I doubt the presents squad as good as it is won't cut it in the Championship in terms of top 4! Pace throughout the squad is a prime requirement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redandyellowallover Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Didn't realise that Tiffoney was out of contract this summer with Livingston, strange one for them to let his contract run down like that. Didn't really think we had a shot at signing him, but hearing that news then I think we will have a good chance. Would imagine we'd have to pay compensation though.

No mention of what happens after but I expect another vote this time next year by the Lowland League making their membership permanent then over to the spfl/sfa to decide if they will accept either in league 2 if they win a play off....or if an expanded league 2 that was rejected this year is actually a really good idea after all.

Third Lanark Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 If we are bringing in Dobbie- I can’t see McCall going back on his word and then bringing in Doolan instead. with finances tight then there really is not much of a case of bringing back Doolan and it’s a far far greater priority to get Tiffoney and other targets signed. Kris hasn’t really been a prolific goalscorer since he left us. If Dobbie is off somewhere else then potentially but even then I think we may have enough coaches already and it’s more important we get in players that are going to get us promotion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think we are even close to that for next season. Anything 8th or above would be a success. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
