FifeSons Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 As a few have already pointed out, the two year deal may make it less than straightforward to move Loy on. I'm still hopeful Duffy can get something out of him once he regains his fitness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seen it detailed anywhere that I can remember. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to one of his colleagues on Facebook, it’s a back problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howlin' Wilf Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Remember when Murray came in and he employed the services of a sports scientist as well as a sports psychologist? I think that apart from getting Loy's back better as the primary injury, a session or two with a sports psychologist would perhaps help him if there's a confidence issue as some have implied. I don't know what the nature of Loy's back injury is but for a wide variety of back problems, osteopaths, physios and chiropractors will generally know more than doctors about diagnoses and treatments. BTW, we live in a world where everything is judged by statistics and surely it's useful sometimes to have some information beyond results and points total to pinpoint what's going right and indeed, wrong? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottylintonstowel Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Just to bring in some perspective to the current brouhaha about the indiscipline of Scottish football supporters I have checked my archives and found a report in the Glasgow Herald about a game on the 26th Nov 1932. On that day was at Yorkhill playing grounds a junior match between St Mungo and Partick Glencairn during which a riot took place. It started off with stone throwing but moved on when spectators attacked each other with knives bayonets and iron bars. By the time the police arrived seven men were arrested and eight more hospitalised one with serious stab wounds. Nobody could afford to throw coins in those days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Kelly Isley III Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Looks like it. Can't say we'll miss him since he hardly played. I think it means what it says on the tin, and I for one wish the guy well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Nothing against Andy Little, but what an absolutely bonkers signing he was. It's almost like Aitken actively seeked out complete crocks at times. That's us gone from having 4 strikers to having 2. At least it frees up a wage for January I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 All the best to Little. He put in a few good performances at full-back early in the season, it's just a shame he appeared to be made out of glass. Reading his injury list is mad, can't be too many parts of him that haven't been broken. Can only echo what BBPF says regarding signing him in the first place though. Crazy decision given he's played little more than 30 games since leaving Rangers in 2014. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injury prone check, link to rangers check, can play multiple positions check. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 A player we had no use for shifted off the wage bill without a pay-off. Duffy may well be hoping a few others decide to retire before January... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameron2000 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 When Andy Little was 19, Gianluigi Buffon was 30. I doubt many would have correctly predicted who would retire first out of the 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nadroj Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Out of interest what is Brad Spencer like for you guys? He is probably the most pointless signing for Killie in my lifetime and I'm just interested to see what he is actually like considering he was never seen for us? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's scored two goals which were both good strikes from the edge of the box, but it's hard to see what type of midfielder he is. He doesn't really get stuck in or break up play, doesn't bomb box to box and doesn't really make killer passes. He's tidy enough on the ball though so there may be a use for him yet but looks very much squad filler to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Just now, Nadroj said: Out of interest what is Brad Spencer like for you guys? He is probably the most pointless signing for Killie in my lifetime and I'm just interested to see what he is actually like considering he was never seen for us? I really like him. When he came in I think most of us thought he'd be a squad padding jobber (well I did) but he's added something different to our one-dimensional midfield. He's quick and covers a lot of ground, which is something we don't really have otherwise, and is tidy in possession. He's also scored two really nice goals. Early signs are that Duffy doesn't rate him though. Dropped for his first game, and then an unused sub (with a defender in midfield preferred over him) in the second. I'd be keen to start him this weekend though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
