nedflanders123 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 And he got himself a two-year deal!!! Primarily as a coach. 2 years is right to provide a degree of stability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nosferatu Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Ridgid wont get a look in now. It does seem a tad strange to have a goalkeeping coach who also wants to be first choice. How does that work if he's the no.1? Does he coach himself? How can he impartially give his view to Murray on who should be no.1? What if he is not no.1 and disagrees with Murray over this? How will this affect his coaching and his relationship with the other keepers? Interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulysses Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) What others no.1 keepers are also the coach? Paul Gallagher played 21 games for Partick Thistle last season, as well as being the goalkeeping coach. Ridgers is the current number 1 anyway - Murray said as much in his interview on St Mirren Radio. Edited August 13, 2015 by ulysses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Yep glad and not surprised to see Ridgers remains our number 1. That should do his confidence the world of good. It's quite simple what's happened here really. Last season we had a goalkeeping staff of 4: Mathers, Kello, Ridgers and Wilks. A coach, a senior pro, an up and coming pro and a youth. Since we have been relegated we have obviously had to cut back. The senior pro and coach roles have been merged and we now have a goalkeeping staff of 3.

How will this affect his coaching and his relationship with the other keepers? Interesting! I think the decision on who gets the number 1 spot will be made based on first team performances. Ridgers is in possession at the moment. As long as he keeps performing, he'll keep it. A good situation to be in for us I believe. "Does he coach himself?" - he coaches the other keepers. His being in the team doesn't affect that, does it? He's a professional, and will know there's a fair chance he won't get much game time.

So its not exactly 'routine' then, as Drew stated? Don't get me wrong. I'm not slating this signing. Just genuine questions / shit stirring...

nedflanders123 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 How do you know this? Signed as player/coach, is mid 30s and got a 2 year deal. Otherwise we would simply have brought another keeper in on a one year deal. Of course, I could be wrong but with Murray rebuilding the team I would wager Jamie will be heavily involved in bringing on our other 2 keepers while playing in key matches too.

Guest TPAFKATS Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Some much needed competition for a key position. Hopefully his experience will also be of benefit in the coaching role Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone trying to concoct some sort of, or should I say "Yet another", conspiracy theory is..............., well, I'll let you come to your own conclusions about their state of mind. A good, solid signing which adds more experience to the squad. Edited August 13, 2015 by FTOF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Pityme Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 C'mon.... Murray having spent so much time wooing Clangers is going to make him No1 end of. Rigid will be back up till Clangers drops a few howlers. Given what clangers has said in his interviews coaching is completely a secondary priority to him.

Best player at any point in time to be preferred. Your negative, slabbering shite is increasingly tiresome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
