baconman Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Thought he did very well today. Not sure we need another defender as DM makes out. Striker and possibly another midfielder is more urgent. Link to comment
boboisared Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 https://www.afc.co.uk/2018/08/07/michael-devlin-red-matchday-interview/ Good interview with him on the club site. I've really taken to him. EDIT: Did not realise that he was another who was with us in the youth set up before being let go. 1 Link to comment
NEM Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 here is a big shout..... best defender in Scotland Great defender. His passing was mainly abysmal on Sunday though Link to comment
Byrne Baby Byrne Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Looks like him and Ferguson will be the stand out long term good signings this transfer window. We have been lucky to get 1 recently, so thats a sort of improvement 1 Link to comment
Tord31 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 captain next season after Shinnie moves down to Engerland Link to comment
Donnet Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Great defender. His passing was mainly abysmal on Sunday though 90% passing accuracy on Sunday. 5th highest in Scotland. Highest outwith Celtic. 2 Link to comment
boboisared Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 90% passing accuracy on Sunday. 5th highest in Scotland. Highest outwith Celtic.Aye, looked pretty comfortable on the ball in all 3 games so far. Certainly better than I thought he'd be. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Great defender. His passing was mainly abysmal on Sunday thoughIt really wasn't. Link to comment
Parklife Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Great defender. His passing was mainly abysmal on Sunday thoughCan you remind me where our goal came from please? Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 The only worry I see with regards Devlin is the fact he has had two, serious & long enough injury lay offs.If we are fortunate enough to keep a fit Devlin we will have a very good defender on our books. Defender we sign will most likely be right sided for this reason though.Even though most are injured at moment, I think pretty much every senior defender in our squad (other than Logan & Devlin) are predominantly left sided. 1 Link to comment
The Buzzard Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 https://www.afc.co.uk/2018/08/07/michael-devlin-red-matchday-interview/ Good interview with him on the club site. I've really taken to him. EDIT: Did not realise that he was another who was with us in the youth set up before being let go.Hope he keeps up the promising start, he looks the business so far. I note the article mentions Peter Weir. That's not the same Peter Weir that was part of the great 80s team is it? I had a scout of that name from the club approach me a good few years back about one of the young boys that played in our team, but he was a wee old guy. Link to comment

When I saw Peter Weir at the Gothenburg 35th reunion this year, he looked like Tam Cowan's old man. Link to comment
Daz the Don Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Early signs are good, A lot to like about this guy so far. Link to comment
CraigHill Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Solid, no nonsense defender that talks throughout and is calm and composed.Certainly a future captain. Link to comment
muttonhumper Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Pretty sure Arfield shat in his pants on Sunday. 1 Link to comment
BWG Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I like him more and more with each passing game. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 He's a perfect signing for us provided there's no repercussions from his previous long term injuries. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Who said his passing was poor on Sunday? Lol His passing was fantastic. The only mistake I remember him making (other than not taking Arfield out in a revenge tackle) was when he took his eye off the ball & let it go by him just before he more than made up for it with the dink up that lead to the goal.Devlin was probably easily MotM Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Dont know about quiet either. Did nobody see his short tugging strop at McKenna about something relatively trivial in the burnley game when he was struggling to make himself heard above the crowd. That strop was a thing of beauty. Passion the snake can only dream and aspire to. Link to comment
dave_min Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Defender who wears black boots. Big fan. He'll be playing with McKenna in the Scotland team before the year is out. Heard it here first. Link to comment
Parklife Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 He's better than I thought. Got to admit, I didn't rate him that highly but he's proving me wrong so far. Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 But where else do you expect Mcrorie to get game time from? Him and the big Dundee Tim. Stick ons. Link to comment

reekie_dock Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 First time in a long time Ive seen one oh our players grab a Hun and make him soil himself Devlin for captain 1 Link to comment
Shinniesta Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I don't think we'd have signed him had he avoided his serious injury. There was a fair bit of interest in him from English clubs prior to this injury. Devlin and Ferguson have the potential to be great signings for us. Both young hungry players eager to get better who have a great attitude and appear to show no fear of the bigger teams. We need more of their sort. Airfield completely shitting himself when confronted by a snarling Devlin was a thing of beauty. He's definitely an improvement on Arnason and O'Connor. Link to comment
Yorston Vasey Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Pretty sure Arfield shat in his pants on Sunday. That one in particular is beautiful. Been a while since we've had players who quite clearly do not give one fuck about who the opposition is and will get stuck in. No forelock tugging deference because this nonentity plays for the hun, just pure aggression. Love it. Link to comment
BWG Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 So taken with that picture Ive changed my avatar to it. Devlin for captain. Link to comment
Byrne Baby Byrne Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Defender who wears black boots. Big fan. He'll be playing with McKenna in the Scotland team before the year is out. Heard it here first. Big fan of those no nonsense black boots too. Fantastic Link to comment
NEM Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 90% passing accuracy on Sunday. 5th highest in Scotland. Highest outwith Celtic. Must be letting the few he ballooned out cloud my judgement. Happy to be corrected. Cheers 1 Link to comment
