The times I saw Hutton I thought he was dreadful culminating in the diddy cup final against Ross County ! Hutton was decent enough, apart from that cup final!

RUSTY1111 Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Hutton would be in my top 3 worst keepers I have seen in a QOS shirt. Barry John Corr and the well named Jim Butter lol the others ! I remember Jim Butter from season 1995-96 when I was at quite a lot of away games. I don't recall many glaring mistakes from him, although I reckon his level was the division below Queens back then. Was there not a keeper called Cunningham that was dreadful in the 90s?

Cunningham I didn't think was to bad a keeper, came from Annbank I am sure but played in a rank rotten team 89/90 season I think. Relegated from division 1 with about 11 points !

If we are including players with so few then I raise everyone Kris Robertson! And if we want guys who played a season or so then Derek Hoy and Rikki Ferguson were nightmares. Halliwell really didnt work out though. Neither obviously did Antell. David Hutton was decent for us, one horrific aberation in the Challenge Cup Final aside. Dont think anyone particularly wanted him to leave when he moved on to Hamilton. I wouldnt rank him amongst our best keepers in my time but he would be nowhere near my worst list either.

Agree about David Hutton, I thought he was ok but I suppose the challenge cup final is going to be what he's remembered for unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleinfaethetoon Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I recall watching a fantastic goalkeeping performance at Palmerston as a youngster, it was Dunfermline's keeper prior to Ian Westwater, sure his name was Whyte ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloop John B Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Hutton when he was with us was passable which was 5 years ago, He wasn't going to win you games but he wasn't going to lose you too many. That being said his career was defined in that Cup Final and he was never the same after that catastrophic balls up against Ross County. If you get replaced by Roddy '2 Years' McKenzie then you aren't going to get far and his career has been on a decline to jobber status since.

palmy_cammy Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I know he made a massive blunder but it seems like revisionism to blame that defeat solely on him. From what I remember the whole team froze on the day. SD probably sums him up well enough. Not the best, not the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I remember the whole team froze on the day. We didnt play remotely well and we were horribly hamstrung in the first place but it was such an enormous early cock up we were never able to recover from it. I still believe if the final had been played when it should have been we would likely have won it. County were way off form and we had a better side at that stage. By the time it eventually came round County had Calderwood in and were a much improved side. Meanwhile we had hit financial meltdown. We had lost Lee Robinson and Ryan Conroy who would have played on the original date. Colin McMenamin had come in but was cup tied, David Weatherston pulled a hamstring in the pre match warm up. I am sure we were so short of numbers that Allan Johnston played when only half fit. As I recall the sub bench had Roddy McKenzie and four teenagers with about three appearances to their name between them. The early Hutton cock up pretty much summed up where we were at the time. Was it not about the time the team basically chucked it and lost 5 or 6 in a row including an absolute pounding at Dunfermline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I missed the famous Cup Final mistake because I was on holiday at the time. As outlined though, it was no surprise when we lost it. We were trudging towards the end of a poor season, marked by a particularly rotten late run. It looked at times as if we'd chucked it. Hutton was a decent keeper for us though and it's unfair to say otherwise. I also think that Jim Butter is a bit badly done by in these discussions too. His mistake was maybe to cost decent money. He wasn't great, but I've seen worse. A couple of local lads spring to mind, as does the ludicrous figure of a middle aged John Burridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Calum Antell is the single worst professional football player I've ever seen. I'm assuming he sits on the bench for Edinburgh City? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QosLoyal Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Calum Antell is the single worst professional football player I've ever seen. I'm assuming he sits on the bench for Edinburgh City? He is certainly an absolute diddy. Remember him costing us at hearts in the cup as just one example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relegated from division 1 with about 11 points ! Rings a bell that Cunningham played then and arrived from the Juniors. I reckon he was pretty bad but the entire team were woeful that season with relegation from Division One and only having 11 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
