Not that I don't disagree with the sentiment behind your post, I just think that it is utterly ridiculous for anyone to say that on the basis of one game a team won't do well.

In all fairness it was a shameful 5-1 reaming.

some folk talk pish i would take him back to dens the now .he is one player who imo gave 100% everytime he takes to the park.

Pub team players give 100%, perhaps he can move to those leagues and maybe score a goal or two.

Why don't we all agree that the smart arsed pirck is correct, Coco is shitey, and close the thread? His appetite, literally and metaphorically is insatiable so it's a waste of time feeding him.

Now now, we need to see Colin McMenamin's true worth over the course of a season. Perhaps one day he will earn that £300 a goal bonus that he demanded in order to sign for big-spending Ross County.

[vikingTON]

Weeks 3 and 4 for the Colin McMenamin Value For Money Counter and the washed-up mercenary is yet to break his scoring drought in the league. Remember the contract folks:

Quote

Basic wage at £500 a week (towards the top of County's infamous 'wage cap'), goal bonus of £500 and win bonus of £300.

Week 3: Ross County 2 Queen of the South 0

Minutes on pitch: 87
Goals: 0
Cost: £500 + £0 goal bonus + £300 win bonus - Colin can get a foot-long Subway this week!


Price per goal: N/A (No goals)

Total Cost: £1800, no goals. Oh dear.

Week 4: Falkirk 1 Ross County 1

Colin's back onto the six-inchers this week as County fail to beat a team of pre-schoolers.

Minutes on the pitch: 63
Goals: 0 (the more eagle-eyed among you may spot a pattern developing)
Cost: £500, no bonuses

Price per goal: N/A (no goals)


Total cost: £2300, no goals. Oh dear.

McMenamin still on the same amount of goals as VikingTON has had girlfriends. C'mon Colin!

Swing and a miss, I'm afraid you'll have to do a lot better than this to deflect from your embarrassing new striker.

I thought it was £500? Poor show on the figures front.

[staggy4life]

While we're on this "Bitter over strikers who rejected us" thread although named differently, can we start one for Andy Jackson since he apparently rejected County? I see he's also been banging the goals in since we seem to be just concentrating on league form.

If it's of any interest I've ALWAYS thought that McMenamin is shite.

I do apologise, it is of course £500 for a player of Colin's undoubted ability.

You can try but I don't think you have the ability to pull it off. Especially when Jackson is setting up goals for a team of higher calibre.

VikingTon - scrambling for relevancy regarding a team and player that doesn't concern him. Deary deary me.

I presume you're going for irony, seeing as this sums up your entire contribution to the site.

You clearly have some sort of love interest with Coco?

[Sherrif John Bunnell]

Morton are on their first half decent run since The Invincibles of 1922, but VT is more concerned about an underperforming striker for an irrelevant Teuchter diddy team.

If somehow County go on a good run and make it to the top of the league, instead of gloating I will immediately start the Archie Campbell/Peter Weatherson - What a Pile of Pish!!! thread.

[AsimButtHitsASix]

I look forward to that thread that shows our third and fourth choice strikers have both scored more goals than McMenamince

They've scored the same number of goals as McMenamin.

The difference here is, we didn't break our necks and offer ridiculous sums of money in order to beat out rivals to the signing of those two. Neither are even close to being first team regulars either. Weatherson would have left the club already if it weren't for Dougie offering him an awful contract during the Grady era.

Outstanding display of irrational ill-informed bitterness VT! Like Neil Lennon after being left alone with too much naughty salt and tabloid sports pages.

Jesus fuckin christ... neither did County. As has been repeatedly pointed out by a number of sources including people with family on the board, the management and the player himself.

Agree with this thread. He's shite.

The funniest thing is, the County fans are mocking VT and acting as if they don't care. However, watch when/if he actually scores a goal. Thread will be bumped so quickly, it won't know what's hit it.

Of course, he relocated his family to an outpost a good hundred miles north of civilisation for the scenery.

As I've stated in other threads, including bonuses he can potentially earn in a year double the money he would have earned at Morton.
