OneBeboMaguire Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 He's absolute shit, just an English league reject who went through a purple patch? Link to comment
Byrne Baby Byrne Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Good finisher. That's about it. Good player for our level, just going through a bad patch Link to comment
MincePie Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 He's absolute shit, just an English league reject who went through a purple patch? He is 100% a poacher, he isn't the type of player to create something out of nothing. He's very limited, but a good finisher imo. With a winger either side who could actually cross a ball or a creative partner he would score a lot more than he does (like when Maguire/Aluko were putting them on a plate for him). Very little service all season from the rest of the team, a chronic lack of wingers/full backs being the cause. Link to comment
OneBeboMaguire Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 just find it painful watching him run at times, slower than a week at ibrox. Link to comment
rossafc92 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 He's absolute shit, just an English league reject who went through a purple patch? Good finisher, and his link up play has improved. Getting no service though. No imagination = no goals, even if you've got the best finisher in the world. Link to comment
laphroaig Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 He is an ok finisher, slow as a week in the jail, first touch is fvcking shocking at times. Link to comment
K-9 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Earlier in season looked fitter, sharper and hungrier and did lot more for team - last couple of months just looked completely lost and with no service is offering us nothing as looks unfit, unsharp and unmotivated. Link to comment
dervish Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 If I was him I'd be fucked off too. Punt. Fallon loses ball. Repeat. Link to comment
wilm1542 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 He has nobody creating anything for him to finish. He's not a creator but is having to try to create. How many times last season was he on the end of a Maguire cross???? Link to comment
StevieT1986 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 He's a good poacher but he's been rank since the st mirren game at paisley Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 How can we be slating him?He is far from one of the players that deserves slating.When was the last time we had a 20 (spl) goal striker? which is what he is (or would be) in a team that provides the chances for him. I'd guess his return for number of chances is very high (even this season) & the likes of Sandaza etc. would not have been ANY better had they been in his position with us. Let the man have the players he deserves round about him to feed him the balls he needs & you will see just what he is, which is a very good SPL poacher. Hard to be a decent striker when your manager tries to make EVERYONE aim for clean sheets mainly & hope for the ODD wee break of the ball to get that precious ONE goal lead. Link to comment

He's a great player with no service. God knows where we'd be this season without his goals. Link to comment
Stoney Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Shocking thread no shock to see op kens feck all about football. Vernon would get a game for any team in this league bar top two, great striker with zero service Link to comment
minijc Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Shocking thread no shock to see op kens feck all about football. Vernon would get a game for any team in this league bar top two, great striker with zero serviceIf he played for Celtic he'd score a shit load of goals, we are a team that creates nothing yet he has scored a fair few goals without pens aswell, if we set up to attack every match I doubt vernon would still be here as he'd have scored over 20 goals and be on course for a move to the championship or league one.

Redstar Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Agree with Boof and Stoney...Vernon does incredibly well considering he gets fu*k all service... He's easily as good a striker as Stavrum was...funny how time clouds folks memory of players now held up as AFC greats...Arild had some shocking moments during his time with us. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Shite thread.Ill informed pish.He has been getting zero service and become increasingly isolated up top.He demeanor is in no small part due to the shite atmosphere I feel exists in the dressing room and the squads disenchantment at the type of football they're been asked to play.Play football the proper way, set up correctly and provide Vernon with decent service and you'd see a different player.

Mikeyboy1903 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Out top goal scorer for the past couple of seasons in a shite squad. Link to comment
RUL Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Can't believe he's getting slated, boy deserves a fucking medal for playing in this team. Link to comment
dazzy_deff Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 One player who gets pass marks from me for the season. As has already been said, scored a good amount of goals off zero service. Say to my mate every game, "imagine how many vernon would score if we actually created anything". A very good SPL poacher. Link to comment
Pash Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Best striker we've had since Stavvy. A thread slating one of the most important players in the team and one of the first on the team sheet? Good een. Link to comment
seanthesheep Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Shocking that Vernon is being slated. Would easily get 20odd a season in a good team Link to comment
tup Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 He was much better when he had Maguire laying the goals on a plate for him. Exposed a bit now, and his limitations shine through. Link to comment
Foster14 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Swap him and Daly at Dundee United and their goals scored would be swapped also... Link to comment
gypsymuffin Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I like Vernon, he has had little service all season. Good player and im glad he has signed on for another two seasons. Link to comment
barassie_afc Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 28 goals in 80 games, goal every 2.86 games, utter shit ..........pfffffffffffffft . I am not his biggest fan but I feel there are far worthier targets for peoples ire , the manager for a starter Link to comment
MURRA Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 good player, bad service, if all our players were at the same standard as him we would be in the top 6 Link to comment
Stoney Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 28 goals in 80 games, goal every 2.86 games, utter shit ..........pfffffffffffffft . I am not his biggest fan but I feel there are far worthier targets for peoples ire , the manager for a starter If that is correct (which i dont doubt it is) Only two players can better that in the last 13 years Stavrum Games53 Goals26 2.03Booth Games 21 Goals 8 2.65 Link to comment
tup Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 You do love a meaningless statistic. Link to comment
Stoney Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Your right, scoring goals is the most meaningless thing in football.............. Almost as meaningless as paying up bets Link to comment
tup Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Quoting bare statistics without applying context is utterly meaningless. Link to comment
