[The Golden God]

Guy must have the best life ever

He's basically getting paid to be a season ticket holder

 

[Kingdom Bear]

Well i didn't expect that

 

[MSF]

Must be an extremely sound guy on about £500 per week.

Has he ever played & not conceded?

 

[Strangeday]

Didnt really see that coming. Andy clearly loves being here even though hes got next to no chance of getting in the team.

 

[SR11RFC]

Deserves it for his celebrations at the piggery alone

 

[jomacbe]

Is he any good?

 

[StaunchGer54]

Deserved

 

[GeckoBear29]

Guy must have the best life ever

The reality is we do need a 3rd choice keeper and it’s hard to find one that’s happy to just sit around.

guys basically won the lotto - paid to go to all games home away and in Europe

 

[greggakd]

Might have something to do with Wes leaving?

 

[southsidebluenose]

Basically being paid to warm up our players pre match. What a life!

 

[HenningBerg]

What a life he’s got . Surely he must be decent in training to have earned a new bumper deal . Let’s hope mcgregor stays healthy and we don’t need to find out !

 

[Coatbridge Chancellor]

YAS!

 

[KGR98]

He'll probably end up Number two when Foderingham leaves

 

[orjan_persson]

Good luck to the man.

 

[cvfbman]

We need that 3rd cover - if he is happy to be here and knowing his chances are going to be veryyyyy limited. then good luck to the lad.

 

[Coatbridge Chancellor]

Must be an extremely sound guy on about £500 per week.

Has he ever played & not conceded?

Nope

 

[otherworld0101]

Might have something to do with Wes leaving?

My first thought. He’ll be 2nd choice.

 

[JayDee]

Assuming Wes leaves I reckon we'll need to sign another keeper - or make McCrorie second choice.

 

[justbrowsing]

Was not expecting that

 

[Hal B. Goode]

Does anyone on here know if he’s actually any good? Surely we’ll sign a real no.2 if/when Wes and Alnwick go.

 

[EndOfDays]

With Wes confirming he is away in the summer and McCrorie going out on loan we had to tie him down for another season.

 

[BusbyBear]

Not a deal I expected to see. Not even sure if I’m happy or not with this deal

 

[stevo1984]

Living the dream

 

[EagleThursday]

Hope this doesn’t affect Shaggers performances knowing Andy’s ready to step in...

 

[portobear]

Covering our bases in case Wes leaves I think.

 

[Bluebrox]

I propose that he doubles up as our Capo at games!!

 

[Crouchy]

No dangers he’s becoming number 2.

He’s just a guy who’s won a competition and helps with the warm up, basically.

 

[maisbifanas]

He's won a watch

 

[SouthCarolinaBear]

Must be an extremely sound guy on about £500 per week.

Has he ever played & not conceded?

Did he not let in a penalty against Killie at the end of last season? I seem to remember that

 

[basel_faulty]

as said above you need to have a 3rd string who's capable enough and is willling to train Mon- Fr and then get splinters at the weekend most weeks, will allow the younger potentially better keepers to go out on loan and get match experience, well worth a minimal outlay.

 

[LeithGer]

Doubt he’ll become number 2 but he seems to have the right attitude and love being here

 

[MSF]

My first thought. He’ll be 2nd choice.

Hahaha. No he won’t.

 

[otherworld0101]

Not a deal I expected to see. Not even sure if I’m happy or not with this deal

We seem to have spent quite a bit on wages for reserve keepers over the past 2/3 years.

 

[55co]

Number 2 when Fod goes..

 

[Chapman Billy]

In the celebration footage at the Chamber of Secrets you can clearly see him joining in to the “Follow follow Glasgow Rangers” song.

 

[Ayrforce1]

The boy clearly loves it here and I guess warming up, getting a seat in the dug out to watch the game beats playing with Barrow.
First man on the park to celebrate too and joins in the singing prematch on occasion at away games.
Everyone loves Andy!

 

[Stubo]

In the celebration footage at the Chamber of Secrets you can clearly see him joining in to the “Follow follow Glasgow Rangers” song.

For that alone he deserves another year

 

[BusbyBear]

We seem to have spent quite a bit on wages for reserve keepers over the past 2/3 years.

Can’t imagine he is on a high wage considering where we signed him from. I wonder if the club think he will develop to be even good enough to be considered second choice

 

[Ayrforce1]

In the celebration footage at the Chamber of Secrets you can clearly see him joining in to the “Follow follow Glasgow Rangers” song.

He was singing during the warm up at Livi last season.

 

[Mr_Miscellaneous]

Good.

Doesn't hurt to have a competent goalkeeper as third choice.

Especially one that holds coaching badges.

 

[GioVanBee]

Easiest job in the world so far

 

[sandy2478]

doing what we would all love to do and getting paid whats not to like

 

[otherworld0101]

Hahaha. No he won’t.

I hope not but who will be if not Andy?

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Cheap third choice option. Clearly has a good attitude and is living the dream.

 

[Jjbscotty]

Andy firth is here for 56.

 

[Furb]

Thought he would be out the door in the summer. Gaffer must see him as No.2 material next season

 

[MSF]

I hope not but who will be if not Andy?

We’ll sign somebody in the summer to replace Wes.

 

[Gerihatrick]

He must be living the dream

 

[Pep_x]

Hasn't put a foot wrong. Well deserved.
