Dynamo Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Has Craig Bryson been mentioned? A stick on for CM if he could avoid injury for 2 minutes. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 4 hours ago, Ten Caat said: McCall wasn't that bad, bizarre to think he was still in our squad when we faced Bayern in '83 (although he was sold IIRC to a Hong Kong side a few weeks later). I'm sure I once read that Fergie signed him because he was Dougie Bell's brother in law and Bell had asked Fergie if he could train with us in pre-season as a favour. Impressed so much that Fergie offered him a deal. If Tom Jones gets a mention, then so must Gary Hackett, signed that same summer by Porterfield. Steve Ritchie was an abomination of a player but the comedy goal in the Cup Final made up for a lot of his shortcomings. I'm going to throw in Gregg Watson. As a young loon he was touted as being the next Willie Miller. And so he was. That Willie Miller being the one that played right back for Hibs.... Did McCall play any games that season? I could've looked this up myself tbh. Link to comment

He won't give a flying fuck with 2 medals in his hipper since we let him go. He'll have trousered enough at his time with Derby that he'll be comfortably off for life into the bargain Link to comment

Ke1t Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Mackie has to be among the worst. For the length of time he was at the club, with a something like 50+ goal return? His only real asset, 'pace', got incrementally worse season on season, until I think his final season he turned up with a pot belly, by which point all pace had evaporated, his shots were no closer to hitting the net, and didn't we use him as a winger for a while? Paul Kane, obviously. And any number of anonymous signings who came and went as cheap shirt-fillers on negligible wages. How we've never been relegated is a minor miracle, tbh. Link to comment

Always remember Provan commentating on an Aberdeen v Celtic game on Sky when Mackie was just breaking into the team. He described him as a great prospect with Michael Owen pace ! Aye. Those Twa Bulgarian fucks been mentioned yet ? Link to comment

However, there be a few footballs lying on Tahiti beaches by now thanks his usual abysmal shooting ability. Link to comment

They would definitely make the subs bench, at the very least. Link to comment

Remember first watching Toni Kombouare, we were all thinking he was operating on a level above the rest of the team, because fair enough he seemed like a guy that liked to play the ball out rather than just lump it forward. Problem was he was used to getting time on the ball, and there was no way that was happening in Scottish football, so he was perpetually getting closed down and panicking. Add to that he was slower than a Monday morning, AND he'd most likely lied about his age... We eventually realised he was on a different level, it just wasn't above.. Link to comment
Bournemouth Gee Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Kiriakov was alright. His mate was crap. I liked kombouare as well! Paul Kane, I was in Turin when we lost 3-2 I thought him and Rico were great. I was shitfaced though Link to comment

His debut down at Stark's Park was purely a masquerade. A man that played in a European Cup semi-final a couple of years previously as well, but that doesn't always equate to a decent individual player. Link to comment

TheRedPrawcess Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Every time I think of bad defenders I can't help but think of Youl Mawene. He seemed like he must have comfortably been the slowest player on the park every game. Link to comment
