Sweet Pete Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 He's a funny one, because regardless of where he's been deployed in the team (defensive mid, centre forward, right wing, left wing, centre midfield) I always feel more confident when his name is on the team sheet. I'd sign him up for next season in a heartbeat, a cracking talent and has stepped up from Junior football very well indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naught A Chance Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Agree with what's been said about Garry, would sign him up again today if possible. I can't really see him leaving (for the reasons Moonster stated) unless its for a full time club which no one would grudge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donald Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I fucking love Garry Fleming. If it wasn't for his injuries he'd be up there with Lister and Turner for my PotY choice. He, Lister and maybe Shay were the only players worthy of praise during our disastrous early season. He's impressed me everywhere he's played. He might be raw but he's also very, very poised in possession. We're lucky to have him and I'd be gutted if he were to leave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I fucking love Garry Fleming. This pretty much sums up my feelings towards Garry. I think he'll be here next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordo1872 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 The part-time/full-time debate is always an intereting one. If you're in full-time employement and playing part-time football, would you be willing to give up your FT job (given the current climate) for a full-time football contract over say 2-years? I wouldn't. The financial security offered if your lucky enough to have good career prospects is far better than a temporary football contract. That said, if Man City offered me £40k a week I'd need to consider it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armand 2 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I'd quite like Thistle to take a punt on Fleming. I think he's been Dumbarton's most impressive player against us this season and with full-time training, I reckon he could have a similar impact as other ex-Junior players we've signed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andysmfc13 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Has Paul Mcginn played at all? if so how has he played? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 McGinn has been excellent. Solid defensively and a real threat going forward. Has had numerous assists and scored a cracker against Hamilton away. I'd like to see him given a chance at St Mirren next season, but if not I reckon he could find a full time deal elsewhere without too much trouble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he gets a chance with us next year aswell. Maybe we'll get to see him pre season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Elephant In The Rock Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Good enough for lower end SPL IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naught A Chance Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 McGinn has been excellent for us since joining and his injury really affected our form. His forward running and delivery is excellent and as BBPF mentions scored a very well taken goal at Hamilton. What has impressed me more though is his ability to cover for his centre backs from crosses and open play, he has made numerous timely blocks and interceptions already, that is usually something that comes with experience and age with a full back but he is already very good at it. Can't see any reason why he wouldn't be given a chance at St Mirren next season, he's certainly not far of Van Zanten in terms of ability in my opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShakehandsTom - DFC Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 As others have said too, I'd love to keep Garry Fleming, and wouldn't begrudge him a move full-time should it come along. He's had an excellent first season with us, albeit hampered with a few injuries along the way. But his effort and industry are superb assets for us, not to mention of course that he has genuine quality and can cover a number of positions. I'd really like the likes of him, Turner and Lister (please!) to stay on next season, as they'd be a very solid base to our side for next season. On McGinn, I can also only echo what's been said already. He's filled a major hole at right-back since he's come in and and is streets ahead of Nicky Devlin before him, who, unfortunately this season while on loan, looked a shadow of the player he was when he was with us before his move to Motherwell. McGinn has pace, good positional sense, is a solid tackler, and as has been mentioned, his overlapping and deliveries are excellent. I've been very impressed with him in his short time, and while he'll most likely not return to us next season, I'd like to see him given a crack at the SPL with St.Mirren. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambsyy333 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 totally agree , gary fleming has loads of potential and would benefit big time with full time training at a full time club . there is no reason he couldn't play premier division football with the likes of thistle , st Mirren ect . having moved up from junior football I think he has done superb in the 1st division . would love him to stay but would not grudge him a move to full time football having a young family to look after... gaz give us another couple of goals against Airdrie please............................. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Is Greener. Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 How has Scott Smith played while with you guys, has he had much game time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakehandsTom - DFC Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 How has Scott Smith played while with you guys, has he had much game time?He had a great start for us at left-back, which is clearly his best position.He's solid in the tackle and his positioning is good too. He's shown similar competence at centre-half too.He played in central midfield against Thistle and looked out of place to be fair, and more recently he's been shoe-horned into right-back where he's done ok. His being so left-footed as he is doesn't do him many favours on that side, but he's got decent potential and could make a decent left-back given game time, good experience and a bit of luck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmacDFC Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 How has Scott Smith played while with you guys, has he had much game time? Started every game he has been fit for. Good solid left back, strong tackler, great in the air for his size, pretty slow, but his good positioning makes up for it. He has also played a number of games at centre back and two at right back, where he has also impressed, his lack of pace more obvious at centre back though. In my opinion he is/will be a good/ very good First Division player. However I hope I am proved wrong and he goes on to have a successful career at Hibs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
