Mearns Saint 266 Report post Posted June 9, 2019 Don't agree. 34 year old wingers aren't by and large of much use anymore. Guys like McGinn, Flynn and Hammill were all in their late 20s when they came to us. A guy in his mid 30s in a position that requires speed and agility isn't what I'd be looking for.Chris Burke doing not bad at Kilmarnock 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gary Teale did quite well with us also at the tail end of his career. With these cases, the odds of a winger still being at a good level in that position into his mid 30s isn't great. Even look at Ryan Flynn, most agree that at 30, he's not really got the legs to be a winger any more so has moved into the heart of midfield to great effect.

You know that the God of the Bible is explained in the concept of the Trinity - One God in Three distinct "persons" Father (obviously a male concept), Son (likewise) and Holy Spirit often translated in the Female form - Sophia or Ruah… So even in the simplest of logic He is both - but it is a lot more complex than this, and I suspect if I canvas folk, not too many will be interested . . . 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isle Of Bute Saint 9,954 Report post Posted June 10, 2019 In order to grow financially you have to employ an events manager. Until then we will be at the back of the queue with our budget. The crumbs left is what we can afford unless Gus has spotted gems from lower leagues. Another way is loans. But for me everything goes back to my opening line. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turrabuddie 1,414 Report post Posted June 10, 2019 I doubt if we could afford the terms McAllister expects and Muzek would be a mibbe for me. McAllister on loan again ? Would also take Morgan, if he'd come back. Understand what you mean really Muzak, but apart from a couple of high profile errors he was steady and reliable, certainly as reliable as anyone else we had there.(Ekersley excepted). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
