Welcome to AFC Mr Devlin.

[Eugenefani]

Looking forward to seeing him gel with Tony Stew on that right hand side of defence

Wonder how many days Anthony Stewart has left at the club? 

Maybe we can start a countdown. Is it W/c 26th June we are coming back? 

I'll predict Friday 23rd June

[Guest]

Really like the sound of this guy!

[Tord31]

Worth noting Devlin got 3 goals and 7 assists this season for a pretty shite and mostly defensive team.

Looks like a decent signing and good competition. although if McCrorrie goes then we'll need another rb.  Looking forward to seeing how the rest of the squad shapes up.

If we'd finished our squad completely we could maybe hope for a second right back but we have so many problems we are a long way away from caring about a right back superior to Richardson

[North_Andy_Dandy]

I mean considering we’ve not signed a decent RB since Shay left I’m happy enough with this signing.

Will be a huge boost to season ticket sales when the announcement is made

If mccrorie stays could he replace Pollock and Devlin replace McCrorie? 

McCrorie isn’t staying.

Jay Idzes is the target to replace Pollock

I know that I'm just playing devils advocate.

Think that's more than morris and Richardson have gotten in their entire senior careers combined

A big upgrade on the hun donkey he’s replacing 

[milne_afc]

Devo will be in the running for POTY after cementing the RWB slot. Reliable as heck and full of running. 
 

Edit: needs a song

There's only one Nicky Devlin, one nicky devlin...walking along, singing a song, walking in a devlin wonderland.

When we signed a Livingston right back my first thought was - this boy is definitely scoring a Messi style dink over the keeper away from home in Europe 

[Tord31]

Devlin is great pick up on a free and looks like we'll use him in a few positions. He'll play every game

[GeorgeStreetReds]

What a finish that was, very unexpected.

[muttonhumper]

He's fucking ace.
Already thought this prior to the nicht.

Ridiculously good finish

I wonder if he's being signed as our 1st choice RB/WB. I think he'd be fine for most league games but maybe less fine for ugly sisters/Europe. 

 

Nice one, Dick.

[Clydeside_Sheep]

I thought he was a wee bit ropey defensively early on, but came good and obv a successful night with his run and finish for the equaliser.

To be fair I think the whole team was a bit jittery for most of the first half, until they realised Hacken are not that great.

Hopefully he'll be fine once he displaces Morris, and gets a run in his actual position. 👍

He;s been playing an alien role up to now.

You've been itching to pull that one out the bag for weeks haha.

Nicky Devlin, take a bow son.

Absolutely brilliant goal that was tonight.

I think that's because he's not a centre half. What a difference when he moved to rwb. Great he can cover there but definitely don't want to see him there again. 

[Footballs coming Rome]

The boys a warrior. Will do anything for the team that’s asked of him. Vice captain material for me. 

[minijc]

Even the odd error he's made, he's more than made up for them, made a superb block tonight as well which would have meant game over for us had they scored.

You can just see in his mannerisms and his general demeanour that he is fucking delighted to be at AFC.

He is one happy faced fucker. And a determined one too.

Given his prior career trajectory, and to get this chance of making an impact at a decent level at the age of 29, I think he will thrive with us.

I'm sure we're seeing evidence of this already.
