Hes a good player at this level but I reckon incredible is pushing it a wee bit far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're talking about that one performance then incredible is possibly understating it a little bit, one of the best performances against us at this level that I can think of, it's up there with a Richard Offiong performance against us nearly a decade ago.

sergie's no1 fan Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 The goalkeeping position is the trickiest to decide. The standard in this league isn't that great.I know Samson doesn't have a great reputation and is prone to the odd howler but I genuinely wouldn't swap him for any other keeper in this league. Even for his penalty save alone v United which is absolutely massive looking back to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scosha Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Only players in the Morton team that should be considered is Ricki Lamie or Harkins. No one else has particularly stood out this season, apart from Iredale who only returned from his loan in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In discussing that individual performance, no, no it's not. As Grant says he was absolutely sensational that day. Completely unplayable. He was helped by the likes of Kane and Stirling probably having their best games in a Queens shirt too but Dobbie ran Dunfermline ragged. Scored three, made two, could have had three or four more. 2 hours ago, Grant228 said: If you're talking about that one performance then incredible is possibly understating it a little bit, one of the best performances against us at this level that I can think of, it's up there with a Richard Offiong performance against us nearly a decade ago.

He was playing against dunfermline in the Scottish championship for fecks sake. Superlatives like incredible should be kept for players at the top level of the game. I used to watch stainrod rip the pish in this league every week and dobbie isnt fit to lace his boots. I would never have said any of his performances were incredible or that he was an incredible player though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridge of allan bairn Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I'd say dobbie would probably make an all time championship side never mind just this season. stainrod would too. can't remember if latapy played in the championship but if so he would too.

Livilion28 Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 16 hours ago, Skyline Drifter said: This is true actually. Dobbie did nothing at all of note in our first two meetings, although effectively won the third by hassling Halkett into the error then should have scored himself but hit the bar and Kane tapped in the rebound. Still, I can acknowledge Livi fans havent seen a lot from him. He is still obviously a better shout for Team of the Season than Hardie is. Got to agree 100%. He’s a fantastic player no doubting that but he’s been pretty poor when livi have played queens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never have said any of his performances were incredible or that he was an incredible player though. We watch a level of football where it is perfectly possible to sit back and admire a player's performance without the need to contextualise it. Without any caveat some of the best individual performances I've seen at East End for and against us have been at this level (including the old First Division). There are plenty of guys who have had the talent that's easily the equal of those in the top level but for whatever reason can't reproduce it every week.

BallochSonsFan Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Manager of the season so far is Hopkin. Whilst Jack Ross has done a hell of a job with St Mirren from when he took over the relegation-threatened team, Hopkin's Livi this season have been really impressive.

Stephen Dobbie a guy who has never played higher than the English championship and stainrod a guy who was a regular with the team who were 5th in the top flight. Unlucky tonot get an england cap and a player who would've signed for Barcelona if venables hadn' been sacked at the wrong time. Dobbie has been jettisoned by every club that got promoted to the English top flight as they knew he wasn' good enough. Stainrod on the other hand was a different level of player entirely.

I'm not so sure to be honest. There's been some top strikers in this league over the decades. Latapy played with hibs and us. Sauzee and latapy would be hard to beat for your centre mid. You'e then got the likes of stainrod, Coyle, Kenny Miller, Stevie crawford etc all of whom have played either in the English top flight or international football.

I'm sorry for being a pedant here, but Dobbie has nine English Premier League appearances. It might not be a lot, but he has played at that level.

I'm far too young to have seen Stainrod play - I was merely pointing out that Dobbie has played English Premier League football, albeit not very much of it.
