Jaggernaut Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Brilliant quote from Foxy in that article. "I've now got an opportunity to play in the SPL, assuming we get that point, and I couldn't pass it up. I didn't want to be in a situation where I am waiting for a club to come in. I am at a club which is going places and which has given me a chance to get this done early, get it out the back of my mind and concentrate on next season. They showed faith in me so I am going to show some faith in them. I didn't know about Erskine and Pates leaving until you told me but you see the amount of fans coming and the excitement that is here. You have got the young boys who have been doing well and we need to just keep going forward. We know it is going to be difficult but the manager will make signings and I am positive we will do all right." That's a great attitude. Fox: on the way to becoming a Jags Legend.

Chicob Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 I've detested that mob since that night we lost in the play off at tannadice.Their fans were disgraceful at the end of the game when rather than celebrate all they did was aggressively goad the jags fans from the pitch. Had it not been for the restraint of our support there could have neen a riot that nigHt. I love anyone beating them and sadly that included Celtic on Sunday.

Third Lanark Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Theres very little mention of the £40 grand we are supposedly due for Sid as well or has he paid up? Would like to think he has and would be pretty disappointed with Donnelly if he didnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 This..... ....And the fact there was a big drop to get on the pitch from their main stand. Was one of the worst nights of my life, our car for the entire return journey was totally silent. Me and other family members didn't have tickets for the Tannadice play-off, but watched it live in a pub in Auchterarder. My wee nephew (7 or 8 years old then) was greetin' at the final whistle. Me too, but I manned up and didn't show it until I got home. Didn't they also basically relegate us at the end of the 60s? Ex-h un Davy Wilson scored the goal that did it. Fair play to him, when he did score, he didn't celebrate, and in fact held his head in his hands (he still lived in Glasgow and trained with us instead of them).

Harry Wragg Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 According to newspaper reports ( and who can believe any of them ?) our chairman according to JMc was the one who revealed the departure of Erskine and Paton, also it appears that its United who owe the comp for MacNaeballs and Sid so perhaps a wee word from the official website would clear these issues up , I for one am now of the opinion that Scottish football in general is rife with double dealing on the movement of players and quite frankly am getting pissed off with it all, is there any honesty in our game at all ??

I remember some Arab scumbags were taking photos of us at the end of extra time. If I could have got on that pitch that night, I would have. I dont think I have ever been that angry at a game since. That Davy Wilson story rings a bell. Before my time but I'm sure I recall my old man mentioning it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bunny Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) He is coaching with Dumbarton so he cannot be on that much money, only one way to find out. Well said. He's obviously been told he'll never play again and is trying to see if he can stay in the game in another role. The Dumbarton thing looks like he's willing to to work at a low wage to get the exprience/find out if he's up to it. Guys like him who've spent several years in a Premiership team don't need the money, he could retire in comfort. If he's interested in pursuing this as a career he shouldn't be hard to deal with provided no other SPL club gets the same idea.

twinny Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Worth considering if he gets no lucrative offers this summer. I doubt he'll be playing competitive football again to be honest. It would be a big shame as he was one of the most talented goalkeepers we've ever seen in this country (Scotland or Britain) before his injury, and probably hadn't yet reached his peak.

Members Willjag Posted April 19, 2013 Members Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 He was on TV following one of the National games recently and said he wouldn't be playing again and was looking to get into coaching IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you're right in that the OP mentioned him as back up keeper but the other posts I think realise he won't play again and were only suggesting him as coach (as a Hinchcliffe replacement) not as 2nd keeper. In that capacity it could be a good move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Willjag Posted April 19, 2013 Members Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 So, is Hinchy definitely leaving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Maybe showing my ignorance here, but is "goalkeeping coach" a full-time position? I could understand if the role involves normal coaching, taking training sessions with other players etc. with some specialized routines for the 2 or 3 goalkeepers that might be in the squad, but surely it can't be a position entirely dedicated to just coaching goalkeepers?

Members Willjag Posted April 19, 2013 Members Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I'd imagine it was. A keeping Coach, although specialising in Goalkeepers could also take other fitness sessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinny Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I would hope it would be a full time position. Although general fitness work will be similar goalies will require specialised drills and regimes daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) I'm sure I read that Mark Wotte had enlisted him to the SFA Youth set-up recently. He also mentioned it would be good to see him return as national team goalie as well. Maybe we will look at an experienced back-up goalkeeper who can take coaching duties as well? Neil Alexander is getting dropped by Sevco, could be an option? McGurn may be another option or what about a return for Clangers when he gets freed from Pittodrie? Even Rab Douglas could be an option. Edited April 19, 2013 by jagfox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redandyellowallover Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 We could not afford him. Heard a couple of rumblings that the money he will receive in insurance payments for retiring through injury would be pretty substantial so he may be open to taking on a coaching role at a lower level to cut his teeth. Wouldn't be a player/coach role as that would mean his insurance wouldn't pay out. Could be pish though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
