haufdaft Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 It's funny to me though that McNeill is criticised for a lack of loyalty, when the most unloyal "player" we had last year had a fund created for him, some clowns even making him out to be one of the finest players to EVER wear the jersey. When in reality he played ten games, was unfortunately injured, had his operation paid for at great expense to the club in current climate, then refused to prove himself. Not to mention the alleged unrest he caused in dressing rooms, public disturbances caused off the pitch , and asking club for more money at every single opportunity. McNeill may have felt his future lay elsewhere and that is/was his prerogative, but I would have him WAY down the list of those who could be accused of not repaying the clubs faith. We should boo Easton when we play Forfar. I'm always up for a good boo. It's a benefit of supporting Clyde that I've had plenty of practice.

BB_Bino Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 McNeil was overrated. To paraphrase David W post about Currie, once a myth is created, its easy for that to become "fact".He was part of one of the worst defences to play for one of the worst Clyde teams ever. Good riddance For someone that Clyde fans say was over rated and delighted to see the back of.....they haven't half gone on about him over the past 2-3 months.

Pride Of The Clyde Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Don't think i have ever mentioned him at all, don't really care one way or the other about McNeil. Had some decent games but also had some poor games last seson, can't undrstand why any Clyde fan is getting their nickers in a twist about him. Out of curiosity how has he played this season for Stirling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haufdaft Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Have a look on the Clyde thread. I've no idea what Stirling Albion fans are saying on their thread. It wouldn't interest me. I'd imagine there would be screeds of comment on McNeil going missing for Goodwillie's goal but I don't know.Anyway why shouldn't we talk about McNeil at the time he was leaving Clyde. Some were disappointed he was leaving the club, some not so.You also should realise that the last two weeks before the Stirling game we had international break and had no match. Anything Clyde related was fair comment given the boredom of a free Saturday...even McNeil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeSAFC Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Out of curiosity how has he played this season for Stirling? I think he's been pretty good overall. He gets forward when needed, can defend to a reasonable standard and has a cracking delivery. I'm a fan of McNeil tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullyWeeLad Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Honestly I can't remember McNeil having a stand out game for us when someone told me and my dad he was away to Stirling we didn't have a clue who McNeil actually was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji38] Would say Easton is one of best players we have had for a number of years had he stayed fit along with lowden I think we would have made an impact in the league As for the lack of loyalty well works both ways Anyway he is gone and DGW is clearly our talisman and an even more important player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
