Who?

Thank god Ron used his connections to get such a good club to partner with, if not the likes of Robbie Crawford would have slipped through the net.

[Bishop Hibee]

Saving up for the summer 2021 friendly out there.

[The Captain....]

Meh...neither excited or disappointed with this news. I doubt it will make any real difference to the quality of the squad while it lasts.

I’m imagining this is purely to give them the experience and that’s it

[Diclonius]

We were never going to get near the Big clubs

Let’s just give this a chance, instead of knocking it before we find out a bit more

Aberdeen have a link up with an MLS side.

Looks to me like this partnership will be more beneficial for them than us. Not sure what we can learn from such a small club in terms of off field commercial activity.

He played for Rangers before jobbing. It makes little sense unless he’s wanting back home to the UK and we are letting him train because of connections.

Underwhelmed by this, particularly the obscure Crawford announcement. Trust us to invite over our first player as a Scottish journeyman never-has-been never-will-be.

We will get zero exposure over there operating at such a low level.

Might be nice for our youth players to have the experience of new surroundings, but for the costs of transportation, accommodation and insurance I am extremely wary over any prospective benefits.

Poor announcement imho. No glamour friendly either. We will also get ripped for linking up with such a crappy team.

Did you bother reading it?

Clearly the ‘Crawford announcement’ is that he’s one of the players we are letting them send to train with us as part of the arrangement. There’s no suggestion it is in any way a trial.

Yeah I’m failing to see many positives with this like. Have they got a tie in with a bigger club in the mls even?

I think we all got excited thinking it was going to be Atalanta esq so a pub team isn’t the greatest of announcements. There must be benefits though? Maybe getting our young players used to plastic pitches?

[Rumble de Thump]

All the reasons for the link up were mentioned in Hibs' statement on it. There are only positives that can come from it.

New owner like Hibs, and lots of history too

Anyone know if they are any good? Always wary of these type of link ups.

They'd probably take us to extra time right now

I do wonder why some of you bother ‘supporting’ Hibs.

If it’s such hard work go and do something else that gives you some pleasure.

Whats the benefit of Rangers & Orange County? Have you seen anything come out of the Aberdeen one? People are over playing the importance of this stuff.

It’s not hard work at all. Supporting the club isn’t just accepting every decision is for the best and making every situation a positive while slagging off others thinking your some kind of better supporter Andy.

Does the US scene have a Scottish cup style tournament? Be interesting to follow them if so.

[Vault Boy]

Mon the Battery.

Weren't we rumoured to be setting up links with more than one US club?

Aberdeen got a decent player on loan. I’ve no idea why or who the huns teamed up with Orange County.

If it’s not important why do so in the first place? I’m merely asking the benefits of this link up? Don’t say we weren’t all hoping for a major link up with an mls club either then backtrack and say it was never going to happen.

Mon the Battery.

Let’s hope it energises us.

[Unseen work]

In all seriousness it’s a little bit underwhelming as I was expecting an MLS team like FC Dallas, similar to what Aberdeen have with Atlanta.

Charleston Battery probably won’t be able to provide us much in return and they’re probably getting the better end of the deal by using our scouting network and potentially a couple of youngsters.

Id be surprised if any of their players were good enough for us, at least it will hopefully expand our global fan base even a little bit and make us a bit better known over there.

Nothing negative about it but just not as exciting as some had hoped for.

I know they were speaking about a few clubs so I’m still hopeful there will be an MLS team announced and a big European club.

Some can't wait to be disappointed.

[Heisenberg]

Leland Archer was voted their MVP for last season so it looks like we’re getting the best they’ve got to offer and a wee Scottish guy wanting home for Christmas in for some training
