Ahoy!Ahoy!, Wed 7 May 18:44

I’m happy with all the released players tbh, Comrie was a maybe.

Regarding Oakley-Boothe I think there’s a player there, with a full pre season behind him he could be a real asset. Lennon seems to rate him so I’m happy with that.

Be interesting to see who we actually bring in, that’s the joys of the summer. Thankfully it’s one we can enjoy as Pars fans with a few quality signings to strengthen what we have. Attacking players are a given.


Who would you be after if you were the manager

I think everyone is hoping Wanyama after a preseason will be much more up to speed. He’ll never be the most mobile now but I remember when Ian Ferguson joined us at the end of his career. Wasn’t the most mobile but was a good passer and would control the rest of the midfield. With the greatest respect to Ian Ferguson, Wanyama was a much higher quality player in his prime so it could turn out to be a good move 🤷🏻‍♂️ who knows!

I’m disappointed with Comrie leaving but not surprised either. I wonder if he called time on it himself? The guy owes the club nothing. Been a fantastic servant and I’d wish him well.

Exciting to see what happens with Mullen and co. Also to see who we’ll bring in. I’ve not been checking to see who’s available this summer but god damn I hope this summer is better than previous years 😂

Just talking to Wanyama suggests it`s only a matter of time before Lennon is officially announced.

Raymies mention of the pitch and the struggling squad is spot on.

The Iain Ferguson comparison is a good one, although I`m undecided whether a full preseason will make Wanyama a good addition or not.

Brother will have the summer to beef up a bit,and may well come good with better players around him,as well as a new pitch.

2 new keepers (hopefully with Tobi returning) are now a necessity. With Mehmet as 3rd choice.

I hope the released guys find themselves a new club but don`t come to haunt us.

Not sure on the comparison between Ferguson and wanyama.

Ferguson was a consummate professional who set and expected high standards from others and although he had lost a yard he still have the brain and kept himself in shape. wanyama rocked up having not looked after himself for the best part of a year and was pretty much retired and coasting.

Wanyama needs to show he’s prepared to change his lifestyle and get back to full fitness before we should offer him anything. He’s a Lennon fav so he’ll likely get a deal this week if he wants it. He’ll be worth millions so spending the summer and the next year doing the hard yards without a holiday for a few thousand a week it a big test!

"You’ve just named 3 players who, when fit, are very influential players for us.
Apart from that , they are all still under contract."

and are part of the reason we are where we are, we need better than those 3 which is definitely not coming from the 4 out of contract midfielders that they are still talking to.

Im at loggerheads with myself here.
Whose judgement to trust?
Niel Lennon or the dotnet supreme court.

This could take a while to figure out.


.net supreme court has had to watch most of this dross a lot longer then Neil Lennon


Good job we have you and Bamba. I hope Lennon has the sense to bounce his thoughts off you before making any important decisions.
It would be foolish to ignore all that experience.

I’m in the minority on Oakley-Boothe, I think there is definitely a player there.

Thought he got a bit of a hard time all because he wasn’t running about everywhere but whenever I’ve seen him he’s looked good, and his football brain just seems better than others.

Difficult to stand out in a poor team so think better players will bring the best out of him.

Just a pity the last 4 managers never had that sense and just maybe we wouldn’t have been stuck with the horrendous squad we have all had to endure for the last 4/5 years

Good luck to all those who are leaving, and thanks for your efforts. Some will have been expecting to leave, for others it might have come as a very unwelcome shock.

It`s a harsh business, but there are lots of examples of players released from one club who go on to have good careers with other clubs.

Maybe it`s a sign of the times but I`m just not that fussed about any of the released guys, Comrie apart. Really disappointed in guys like Wotherspoon, expected much more from him. The rest seem like good guys, but most have had a decent run with us and time after time have been shown up as average at best. I`m sick of spending good money watching us p1ss about in 8th or 9th all season. It`s unacceptable.

Looking forward to new signings that can really light the place up.

I don`t know how accurate this is, but a mate was told that Comrie was offered a new contract and turned it down. He`s been travelling through from the West for a few years now, and it may be that his agent has found him a club nearer home.

All the best, Aaron. A consummate professional and a fine player who has always given 100% every time he stepped on the pitch. Not least, a warm, humble and very likeable young man.

I`m sure I read an article about him which said he was brought up in Glenrothes but had moved to the west whilst he was attached to Celtic and still lived there.

I`m the same, Berry.

I think it`s fairly clear there`s a player there. Just need to get the best out of him. I`m confident Lennon could do that.

Clay`s away too...

"He stays in glenrothes."

Altho he`s from Glenrothes, I thought he was living with his partner thru Glasgow way?
