Ex Airdrie striker Gary Twigg has been released from his 18 month contract at Accies with a year still to go.

An Accies insider stated that Brechin,Morton and Thistle were interested.Rumours The Pars and his old club may also be interested.I can't see him giving up a full-time contract for a part-time one,so perhaps he may well find himself at one of the aforementioned clubs.

He only paid 4 games for us and never played again after his petulance at Broadwood when he was subbed after 30 minutes.He may well be a good striker,but the Offiong style one man role was not suited to him.He will have something to prove at his next club I would imagine.

twigg? isn't he a slow little midget?

if so no thanks cos we need a strong tall striker

what has he ever done at this level anyway that allowed accies to "inspire" to sign him?

It won't be us, we already have four strikers.

Might get stick for this, but I think McKinley can play this role, but he ain't gonna get more than say 7 or 8 a season. Nonetheless still need good forwards and I don't think Twigg is someone who'd help us.

McCall was saying he had a striker in his office on thursday morning - i hope to god it isnt twigg

i heard ian mccall was a bit that way inclined

As Dunning said, we've got enough strikers as it is...so don't see us putting in an offer for Twigg.

He is absolutely terrible

I personally wouldn't rate him as good enough for the 1st division,a 2nd division player at best.

Got to disagree with previous posts, i was dissapointed when Twiggy left the <>'s and would have him back in a min. Give him decent service and he'll score plenty, good finisher, good at holding the ball up, left footer, quite tall but should probably win more headers than he does.

Brechin are interested in him, according to the NotW.

Brechin can have him, hes a clown of the highest order and pretty piss a football aswell!!

We'll have him if he's going to be like that other ex-Airdrie striker we signed who everyone assured us was a dud.

If hes offered enough money he will.

There was a rumour a while back that he was coming to us! I'd much rather have Arbuckle than this tool! Come on McCall work your magic!

I doubt we'll sign him but i wouldn't be dissappointed.

I don't think out strike force is up to much to be honest.Newby looks as if he'll run about a bit chasing loose ends and set up alot.Wake can finish the ball really fucking well at times but he's been arsing about with it a hell of alot in pre-season.Russell can't finish and Weatherson is obese hugely inconsistent.

God, i hope McCall wasnt describing him as the striker he had in

What the fuck is going on today? First, we had a Dundee fan who seemed to think Jason Scotland still plays in the First Division. Now we appear to have a Queens fan who thinks Bunter is still the man in charge at Palmerston.

FFS considering the description McCall gave of him, it sure as hell wasn't Gary Twigg. The chances of us signing the mystery man are quite slim as well.

Not to mention the Dundee fan who was looking forward to playing Stirling Albion away this season.



1000th Post!!~~~#~

It's perfectly obvious he meant for McCall to do his stuff and sign him for Partick instead of him ending up at Palmerston as he doesn't want him here.

But then you knew that.

I didn't actually. I misread the post and thought he'd said that he'd rather have Twigg than Arbuckle - the player I thought he'd called a tool. Simple explanation.

Now, what was it I said a while back about your overuse of condescending smileys?

I don't know but I expect you'll share it again.

And I genuinely thought you were being sarcastic in the first post and that the other Partick fan had missed it.

Well, this thread's proved that we're all capable of making mistakes.

Witt obviously not in favour with Partick fans I see.

I'd take him back in a second.

Anyone who can score 12 goals for a relegated side, as he did the season before last, will do for me. Some Airdrie fans are utter c***s, who wouldn't be happy if Kaka signed.

Alternatively, we can continue with Di Giacomo and Noble, with Watt as back up. That leaves us really well placed in times of injury or poor form...

I was actually quite surprised when I saw an Airdrie fan slating him. I thought he was good when he was at Airdrie, he seemed to score a fair few. Did he not score against Killie in a cup game? Or Motherwell?

Nope. We lost 1-0 to the claret and amber vermin and 3-0 to Killie, after Twigg had left.

He struggled up front on his own and with Prunty, but played really well once Harty arrived towards the end of the season.

We appaer to be looking at Simon Lynch, but doubt we could afford his wage.

When will Lyle get released? 6 Months?

My mistake.



At least he'll get some SPhelL experience next season. What about McMenamince and Curier?

Probably one of they fiscal fines Big Al......................oh.you're talking about the fitba.Perhaps,he will be one they stewards patrolling outside The Sainsbury's End to stop the financially bereft Accies fans from catching a free,long-distance game when they cannae afford the bargain £22 admission.

That fake tan and a yellow or blue stewarding coat isn't the best colour combo.

Lightweight and ineffectual as far as I was concerned. (he is also an erse)

Twiggy......just a big wage we do not need...well a big wage for us......

He was Airdries best player in our playoff win.

I'd take him.

Will be interesting to see how many games he'll start. Who else have you guys got up front besides Offiong? Reckon He'll stick to 1 up front?

So which team will branch out for him?

Not last season but the season before

I think you'll maybe find that Ron's surprise comes from the fact it was suggested he was our best player in that playoff, nothing to do with when it was.

To be honest I didn't highly rate Twigg at the time but he did manage to bag 12 goals in what was a truly awful Airdrie side that season. Keep in mind that we played a 4-5-1 formation most of the season when KB took charge and our 5 man midfield very rarely supported the striker so he did well to get his goals.

Would only have taken him back as a last resort & even then we don't need him now as we have Lynch as well

if you think its Morton then you're barking up the wrong tree.

indeed ...he stood out only by his anonomous performances.....maybe worth a punt if he's cheap....pay him by the goal and that might buck his ideas up....he has certainly been around enough clubs to suggest he has something....but he'd better start showing it soon.

I'd give him till christmas to prove himself if anything.

Lynch???

Harty??? Twigg??? Jesus how far the mighty Airdire have fallen.

Next you will be telling us Russell was a class act

You can judge Russell for yourself when yous play killie in the SPL whish incidentaly is the forum you should be hanging around.. now f**k off!!

Jason Scotland/ Colin Samuel i find it hard to differentiate between the two.

He has signed for Brechin. http://www.brechincity.com/bcfc/servlet/BC...&category=2

I think he is an excellent signing for the second division. He could well be the type of player that we are missing.
