I am very worried now about the size of the squad. We had youth team player Lee McGregor on the bench for the midweek Broch game, and only had 3 subs the weekend before (not sure how many we had at wick). Surely Kellas has got to look at making up with Luggy Thomson for the sake of the squad now, & I'm also not sure what the story is with Donnie Munro - he's apparently still on our books but refuses to play for the team AND show up for training. Craig Russell has also fallen out with Kellas (I believe) as I stated last week. We'll just have to wait and see on saturday - I'd be willing to sit on the bench Frasie if your stuck! I'm not that bad really.

Craig Russell left as he wasn't happy he didn't get on against Keith at the start of the month. Some could say that Craig was lucky to return to the club after an incident last season but to sign and NOT tell the club you're carrying a 16 game ban ain't a good thing! after he completed the ban he only made the squad 8 times (coming on 3 times as sub)
As for Mr Thomson. After something that happened after the Nairn game I can't see the club begging for Lugs to return back in the near future!



================================================
So backing up what I said about Criag Russell, but would you like to elaborte about Luggies? He's been showing up as a supporter at every match since the incident, showing his willingness to get to the games - as we need players (I'm sure we're all agreed!) I would get him back in the squad, even though I was appaled by his behaviour at Bellslea. & we should definately try and make peace with Donnie Munro.

Donnie Munro was given the chance to return but didn't want to.
Latest I heard about Donnie was that he registered himself as an Amateur player - just like Tommy Wilson did before enabling him to play elsewhere.
He was playing for Buckie's reserves recently too.

Forget about Thomson he is well past it and a bad influence The club is bigger than any individull and will benifit in future if strong diciplianary policies are evident Thomson and his ilk will be but memories 6 yers from now but the club will still be there for all genuine supporters

Were you hopin for a game up at Rothes? hence the reason behind wearing the shorts.

Well spotted!

No I'm a coach of a local school side, and due to a late kick-off had to come straight to the match from my other match that day.

Wouldn't turn down a chance though if Frasie's willing to take a gamble!
