Won Scottish cup when with Hutchie Vale whose team included Jamie Docherty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik2304 Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Tommy had clearly lost faith in Midges fitness which is a real shame. He's been fantastic for us over the years and will be very tough to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Fantastic player, still our best midfielder and a great guy. Handled himself brilliantly the last year despite being poorly treated by Saints (this is a fact). Really hope he finds another club as he still has another season or two in him. Glad he made it to 10 years and has a deserved testimonial. A saints legend. SlickDT, Cagey, HOODLUM65 and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Club were up front with him and said he was not totally in the plans and he could move on. Been a fan of his but I think the time is right that he moves on. Good luck to him. I'm glad i wasn't the only one thinking this He was told he wouldn't feature and was told he was free to leave which he didn't. The club paid him a wage while he stayed for that year and got game time mainstand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm dreading some of the football we are going to play if we don't have a decent ball player in there. From what I've seen I still reckon Scougall should be given that role and I'd say he's a far better option for that position than Alston or Spoony. When you add Craig, potentially Davidson and also McCann to the list of options I'd say we're pretty well covered in central midfield so it'll be interesting to see whether that's an area Tommy ends up recruiting for. Anyone heard if we're likely to try to bring Willock back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit surprised about Hurst & Hendry. Tommy says in Courier Hurst has not had a great time at For far so ? ? ? ?. A 2 year contract for Hendry who has had a pelvic problem. I am sure it can be a recurring problem. Anyway on their day they can be decent but with McMillan & Kane & with Tommy keen on one man up front I don't think they will get much game time so hopefully not on a big wage.

I remember seeing Zander a few times when he was on loan at Elgin and thinking he had no future in the game, he certainly turned that around. From what Tommy has said Hurst is lacking consistency.

TheYellowBox Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) I think you can see from the last few games, the plan next season will be to play either Spoony or Alston as the defensive midfielder. Neither for me fit that role overly well, but I’d feel more comfortable with Alston there as Spoony gives the ball away too much. The 1 year deal is telling, if he doesn’t settle in there, he’ll be away in Jan. You can deduce from who has signed, been given a contract or let go, that he must have another wide option lined up if he is bringing Alston into the middle. Dare I say Templeton? Also suspect another striker. Kane becomes the main man, Hendry becomes the ‘Kane’/young backup, which leaves a space for a more experienced striker to come it. My only real concern is the lack of depth in goal and maybe a CB too light, especially if we continue to play 3 at the back.

Havana Saint Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 If we cannot get Danny, Mike or Templeton then we need the same quality. I would push the boat out for Templeton, easily the difference in where we may finish next season. He brings skill and energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the feeling we could push the boat out for him and Hearts could still offer double. No chance we sign him, same with Ali Crawford, too many richer clubs with interest. 13 hours ago, dave mc said: Fraser Aird if the Pars don’t come up? Looks a Tommy kind of player God no. He's absolutely dreadful. If Alston struggled with the step up I doubt Aird could even look competent at this level. Theres virtually nobody in the Championship who could come into the squad and improve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks a Tommy kind of player Tommy is looking to sign much better than him. Expect a highly rated winger from England to sign in the next few days. He also wants to sign another winger, a striker and couple of midfielders. The plan is for a couple of signings to be young loans from England that will free up his budget for some real quality.

yahoorsir Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 God no. Clark is brutal. If he had taken a third of the easy chances he had this season Dunfermline would have finished second. He is woeful and his father should not be allowed back into McDiarmid either. Clark snr is a total clown. Hope this is just someone pulling our plonked in the absence of any other newsor I would be very worried about the standard of players we are looking at.
