81. Author: kelty_par Date: Thu 8th May 2025. 08:45 Pretty sure Comrie now lives in Hamilton with his partner and young child. Morton, Partick or Accies if they can sort themselves out might be good options for him. Reply |
82. Author: GG Riva Date: Thu 8th May 2025. 09:00 Lesliepartoo, Thu 8 May 08:00 He`s originally from Glenrothes, LP. He now lives in Glasgow with his partner and young son and has done for several years now. ![]() Not your average Sunday League player. Reply |
83. Author: TAFKA_Super_Petrie Date: Thu 8th May 2025. 10:12 Agreed on Oakley-Booth. You could see he was used to perhaps playing at a higher level with better players. Quite a few times he would have the ball in decent positions and you could see him visibly frustrated that team mate(s) weren`t where they should be - or at least where he expected them to be - in terms of their positioning to move the ball onto them which would often result in him being closed down or forced into having to go back the way or even losing possession and end up with the fans on his back. --------------------------------------------------------------- ![]() [b]"People always talk about Ronaldinho and magic, but I didn't see him today.

84. Author: neils Date: Thu 8th May 2025. 10:24 I assume Comrie will get a good club, I hope so, he`s a very good Championship player and wouldn`t be out of place at a level up. Is Sam Young not on the list? He didn`t make the cut at Forfar, I thought his contract is up. Reply |
85. Author: king lad Date: Thu 8th May 2025. 10:36 neils, Thu 8 May 10:24 Sam Young still has another year left on his contract Reply |

87. Author: cammypar 1995 Date: Thu 8th May 2025. 11:19 sonofpetrie, Thu 8 May 10:39 I honestly think he`d struggle in a top 4 Championship side. I get the sentiment around homegrown players, it`s always nice seeing one of our own come through. But sentiment doesn`t win games. If we`re serious about improving the squad and our league position, we need better quality. c'mon the pars Reply |
88. Author: veteraneastender Date: Thu 8th May 2025. 13:11 Presumably Memhet is still under contract for another season ? Otherwise he would be in the exit queue. Reply |
89. Author: Berkey Date: Thu 8th May 2025. 13:25 No doubt Oakley is a very good player who could play at a higher level but has lost the hunger for the game, hence the reason he ended up at the bottom end of the Scottish championship. As mentioned tends to start games well, the opposition then position a guy near him then he disappears completely and stops showing for it. originally put it down to lack of matches but it persisted. Not sure this league is the right one for him as you get kicked and don’t get the time on the ball. He may improve with better players that can take it into feet but needs to be far more active and have more fight for me. It’s getting close to last chance saloon for him to play at a higher level, perhaps a 1 year deal where he gives it a real go and he could end up getting a move back up the leagues even if not with us.

90. Author: red-star-par Date: Thu 8th May 2025. 13:35 I agree with Berkey there. Oakley-Boothe does look like he has some quality, but for me, doesn`t look like he has the heart. Strikes me as the sort of player that had too much too young and has been coasting along on past glories for a while now. If someone could get something out of him (and if anyone can, it`ll be Lennon), then there`s a player there, but I bet there are a lot of managers that have tried and he`s not repaid that faith Reply |
91. Author: PARrot Date: Thu 8th May 2025. 13:44 Parsfangaz, Wed 7 May 23:18 Nice deflection. We are not talking about any other managers. This list is Lennon`s choice. Do you really think you are better equipped to assess the players? He knows his plans, what support he has, and the capabilities of the players. He can also assess how they will fit with what he brings in. Time to bin the past. Reply |
92. Author: Parsfangaz Date: Thu 8th May 2025. 19:40 PARrot, Thu 8 May 13:44 Definitely time to bin the past that is for sure Reply |
93. Author: RhinoPars Date: Fri 9th May 2025. 09:50 GG Riva, Thu 8 May 09:00 Spot on GGRiva - thanks to him for his efforts. Always seemed to be someone who gave his very best. Seemed from interviews to be a nice guy too. As others have said he is probably more suited to a back four rather than being a wing back. He may have faced competition from Bray next season and so may be looking for more game time as well as less of a commute. Seemed to do best with a winger outside (KRH pre injury). He used to quite often manage to get himself in good positions to score but only sometimes was able to convert. I wish him all the best for the future. Reply |
94. Author: KnebworthPar Date: Fri 9th May 2025. 10:19 RhinoPars, Fri 9 May 09:50 Aaron has been a great servant to the Pars. A player who always gave 100%. If there had been a team full of players with his attitude alone over his time with us we wouldn’t be in the situation we have been over the last few seasons. I hope he gets sorted with a good club, I’m sure he will. He deserves nothing but respect from us. Reply |
95. Author: wee eck Date: Fri 9th May 2025. 10:44 Every squad needs players like Aaron Comrie. Not only was he a dependable RB, he also showed he could slot into a central defensive role when asked. Although not a natural wing back he actually got into good positions in the opposing penalty box and scored 8 goals for us, not all from set plays. He was one player who defied the logic of those fans who thought anyone who was part of the squad who got us relegated to League 1 should have been binned long ago. It may be that the way NL wants to play might not suit his style and a move might be beneficial because, at his age, he needs to be playing regularly. Reply |
96. Author: JTH123 Date: Fri 9th May 2025. 11:02 Would echo the above. Hes been a great servant to the club. Reply |
97. Author: Dandy Warhol Date: Fri 9th May 2025. 11:56 I`m a bit disappointed Comrie is away, dependable and a decent bloke. I don`t wanna go down like disco. Reply |
98. Author: Berkey Date: Fri 9th May 2025. 13:13 Agree wee eck, I view Comrie leaving as Lennon looking at players to play certain positions rather than perpetuating the problems we have had over the last few years of bringing players in (and keeping players) without a view of where exactly we want to play them in the system. Ie Lennon goes with a back 3 with wing backs and that’s no good to Comrie who is best in a back 4. The post below replying to me is by one of .nets finest champions of mediocrity! Reply |
99. Author: fcda Date: Fri 9th May 2025. 19:25 Berkey, Fri 9 May 13:13 That might be your perception but it`s unlikely to have been the reality. It overlooks the constraints being applied previously when trying to recruit players. Reply |
100. Author: NMCmassive Date: Sat 10th May 2025. 12:19 Berkey, Wed 7 May 21:50 If it works, it’s a good comparison-if it doesn’t, it’s a failed attempt at something. Time will tell 🤷🏻♂️ If we sign him, I hope it works. Thats all I’d say. COYP Reply |
