The ex-Lions thread

Bobby Barr has signed for Morton...so he'll be back to haunt us next season...assuming we are still around.

Bobby Barr is shit.

Surprised he wasn't signed by a team in this division when he was dumped by us. Would think he'll relish playing against us next season.

As I said on another thread that whole episode still annoys me. Wouldn't blame him for turning it on against us.

Big Marv scored the 2nd goal in Montrose 3-1 win over Brora to keep them in the SPFL.

Makes up for the og he scored in the first leg

Graham Coughlan promoted with Southend as Phil Brown's right hand man.

Steven Craig just failing to win promotion with Wycombe in the same game.

Andrew McNeil signs for Alloa. I hope we float as many crosses in as we can when we play them then, guaranteed goals.

Tony Andreu too. How much did we get for him again?

Andreu is at Norwich but hasn't been in the squad never mind playing lately.

Perhaps he is injured?

Almost £600k down the pan from the Dorrans deal today, on the back of cashing in the sell-on clause. Disgusting.

Not sure the sell on clause would have got us anything for Dorrans. He had already renewed his contract with WBA and sell-on clauses are normally only valid during the length of the original contract.

Walker and McKenna singed for Berwick.

Think the Championship was a level too much for McKenna, wish him well in league 2, should do ok there.

Is that like sang for Berwick or they came close to burning stuff for Berwick?

Andy Halliday on trial at The Rangers apparently.

Andy Halliday on trial at Sevco, brilliant player for us, scored some amount of goals from midfield, he was a tricky wee player.

Edit* Had this on hold till my leccy was turned back on as the electrician was fitting new sockets, or I'd have had it up before LL.

Disappointed with any player wanting to sign for "them"...show some ambition Halliday!!

He's a massive Rangers fan and was let go by them before signing for us so he'll want to prove a point. He never really got a chance to shine at Middlesbrough because Strachan was gone shortly after he arrived and it's clear both Mowbray and Karanka never rated him. The only time he's made the step up since leaving us was scoring against Chelsea.

I don't care who he supports, as a pro he should have ambition to play at the highest level, he left us far too early imo and has not really made any real progress, signing for that shower will not make him a better player.

See Coll Donaldson has been released by QPR so we won't be getting the £150k depending on appearances from them unfortunately.

Currently on trial with Dundee United but won't get any form of sell on fee

Yeah a Utd supporter was asking me about him on the Eastfootball forum, said they were thinking about signing him.

He's almost signed for Utd now according to the Dundee local paper, just some paperwork to be completed. http://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/football/dundee-united/dundee-united-snap-up-defender-donaldson-1.889224.

Not surprised QPR let him go; was nowhere near ready for that level. Dundee U would be a better option for him but IMO he's not top division standard yet; that said United have a track record of developing players so, it should help his career.

Not surprised in the slightest by this. Never thought he was close to being one of our better players, and from what I could see on his Twitter he was probably more interested in partying than playing for QPR. He won't be a great signing for Dundee United.
