Distant Doonhamer Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Would have Hooper back in a heartbeat. Tommy has just signed for Stenny, hopefully he keeps improving and ends up us in the near future. I see Dalbeattie Star have re-signed Dan Orsi, that boy had bags of potential when he was with us, but sadly was never the same after he broke his leg. Out of interest - anyone know who it was that snapped him? My recall is that Orsi had a knee ligament injury rather than broke his leg. I’m not aware that anyone “snapped him”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it as an ACL injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not aware that anyone “snapped him”. I can vaguely remember him getting tackled down by the corner flag and ending up getting carried off in a stretcher. Now you mention the ligament injury it does ring a bell but I'm pretty sure it was caused by a bad tackle, or maybe done his ligaments after landing funny. Against Livi maybe? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankReynolds Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Just read that It was away to Stirling Albion. I was adamant it happened it Palmerston though. He cracked part of his femur and also damaged ligaments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan ruptured his cruciate at Stirling Albion in an away game on a Tuesday night a month after my younger son was born so I wasn't at the game and didn't see it personally. My recollection at the time though was also that it happened in a tackle he made as you say. Shame, he had looked a great prospect before it and was very quick. He became a dad last week I saw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don recall there being any concern that he “got done”. Just one of those things from my recall. I think he scored early in that game. Long time ago though [emoji1353] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That goal was his only one for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERSOUTH Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Young local defender Ewan Gourlay that never got much chance at first team football last season (bench warmer) despite good consistent performances in the reserves has signed for Threave Rovers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Orsi got motm against an awful Stirling side and was playing well against them in the next game before getting injured. He was rapid and a local lad so folk wanted him to do well. His sides after leaving us speaks volumes though and the reality is he wasn't very good. A nice lad all the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your last four words there explain why he was mainly a bench warmer and good performances in a reserve team that finished bottom? of the division isn't exactly glowing recommendation of his ability either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's fair. He may or may not have been a little over-hyped from a handful of appearances before his injury. However he was never the same player afterwards so I don't think you can conclude he "wasn't very good". The injury was a very serious one and clearly had an impact on his career. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may think he wasn't very good but before his injury he was very exciting to watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fae_the_'briggs Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I think if Orsi and Pat Slattery hadn't picked up serious injuries they would have been good players to keep at the Club, Scott Hooper also. I recall Hooper coming back into the team in a Cup match V Hibs and he was excellent that night, but I doubt if he made many appearances after that, I doubt if he made it into many squads after that either. Little wonder that some young players get disillusioned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stirling Albion performances aside he never really stood out in games tbh other than his incredible pace. Even without his injury I doubt he would have been a regular at this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowland star Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Watched orsi in junior cup final which he won man of the match there is a talent there . But I think he lost the edge after injury and maybe some confidence 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
