The Arch Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 He's the only Dunfermline player I fancied to be honest. Â Can play right back/central defence and midfield, so think he's a very good option, and allows Archie to focus on managing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Good defensive cover.. Obviously highly thought of tho' I don't mind him impressing in the four games he's played against us this season. Most importantly, if he's viewed as anything longer than a stop gap signing, he's got SPL experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brick_top Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Not sure if it's more complicated because of the nature of his release from DAFC.

G SUS Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) Isn't that what they always say regardless of whether it is a done deal? Â Nope. Â McMillan has clearly been signed as cover, I wouldn't be disrupting the defence if it's all fit. He has good experience as well as versatility so hopefully he'll be a good signing for us. Â Could he be on a similar expense deal like Ross Forbes was at the start of the season? Edited March 29, 2013 by G SUS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart_adam Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Think this is a smart move, probably using the cash freed up by MacNamara leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I think the Dunfermline players that have been released will take anything that is offered to them - a wage of some sort is better than none! Â Good luck to him!

GrantB Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Sensible decision from Archie to get someone in as we are short of defensive cover. I hope he can play at centre half as that is where we most need cover given a currently injured Archie is our only backup to Muirhead & Balatoni. Â This might work out well for McMillan. Gets to jump ship from a team going nowhere to getting the chance to win 2 medals in the space of a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodstock Jag Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 IIRC the deadline for player registration is Monday, after which special dispensation would be required. The Club are clearly just playing it safe until the SFA rubber stamp it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_mac Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Good signing. We've been short of cover in the full back areas all season. Â I would be surprised if Morton didn't snap up some of the released pars players as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert's Ghost Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 I hope he can play at centre half as that is where we most need cover given a currently injured Archie is our only backup to Muirhead & Balatoni. He's a bit wee for a CH is he not? Gets booked a lot too (at least when he's playing for Dunfy). Still, in Archie we trust! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen1876 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 According to dafc.net, Dowie has had an offer from Jags and Raith. I know he didn't part on good terms last time and I don't rate him much but some cover for a month would do no harm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trotter Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Think the rumour mill went into overdrive. We were talking to one of their players & they speculated Dowie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantB Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Pars fans are suggestiing he's better than anyone in our side! Do they not realise we have the best defence in the league? Â McMillan is an excellent signing but to suggest he'll walk into the team ahead of the likes of SOD or Muirhead is a bit silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggyman Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 From what ive seen of him and i'll admit it isnt a lot he hasnt impressed me one bit so its fair to say i'm not too keen on him being here but i'll be delighted if he proves me wrong.

Magic Queens Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) Good player had him at palmerston on loan from Rangers couple seasons back sure he played full back for us. He will be a good addition to your squad for the promotion run in. Is he cup tied? same as P Burns for us ex Dunfermline.
