Karpaty Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Ohhhhh, McKinley is the best boy !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sao Paulo Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 There was rumour afoot that McKinley had trialled with us pre-season was there not? Everyone in their right mind would have him at Clyde of course. Talented lefties are few and far between and particularly in the second division. He's more than enough about him to play full-time football but, like Willie McLachlan, it seems the players hand has been forced by the present financial climate.

Santana Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Should be playing for a botton 6 SPL team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staggy4life Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 No offence but he is far too good for you's unless he has all of a sudden become terrible since playing in Ireland. Wasn't the best at Ross County but I think Division 1 is his level so it would be a great signing for you lot if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptfc ftw Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 With a first touch like his he should be playing at the san siro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number one wasp Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 hope AM is looking at him aswell then we desperately need a decent left sided player preferably a solid left back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Westander of County Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 hope AM is looking at him aswell then we desperately need a decent left sided player preferably a solid left back He played up front for us at County for a few games at the beginning of one season. Paired with pacy wee forward Craig Gunn he did quite well. I think of him as a left sided winger /attacking midfielder though he increasingly played at Left Back. Looked out of place there at first but has played full back and wing back a fair bit with Thistle. Should still be good enough for First Division as Staggy4life says.

Fuctifano Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 There was a game against Airdrie last season where McKinlay came on as a sub that just about summed him up. He got the ball, beat about 3 guys and with a 3 on 1 elected to shoot from the edge of the box, miles wide. 2 minutes later, bursts his way through a couple of challenges , 1-on-1 with the keeper, dummies him and then shanks it way over the bar. He also got booked for dissent when he thought he should have had a corner, all in the space of about 5 minutes. He’s all left foot and no brain, reasonable in the air but not an out and out striker or a winger, more of a left midfielder. I would expect him to end up at Morton rather than Clyde if Morton didn’t already have McAllister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beggars shouldnt be choosers though fitba players should always be able to kick with both feet dont you think?! Does my box in when there clear from their marker & have to spend seconds which feels like minutes adjusting their feet for the move to break down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GypsyTillIDie Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Very little chance of this happening as he is quite a decent first division player. Played well whenever we played Thistle and I couldn't imagine him signing for us. Would be a stand-out at this level however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawfield Stallion Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 During our infamous 2-0 defeat to Thistle last season, it was Kevin McKinlay who John Brown feared so much that he played Pat Clarke as a wing back to try to cancel him out He's a decent enough player who would do a job in the Second Division no bother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccuejonathan Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 He played for us in a 1 all draw against rangers in a bounce game in mid week and he will play for us again midweek http://greenockmortonfc.blogspot.com/ and then scroll down a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
