AberdeenBud Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Thomson is a past it haddie. He can hardly play 3 games in a row and gets rag dolled far too often when he's up against anyone with a hint of strength and athleticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Imrie taking pelters for f**k all! The only criticism I have is if your going to stamp on someone, make sure you take them out the game, or at least make them cry. Or nearly kill them.

DieDee Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I wouldn't class Stewart as a midfielder. I've already noted McGowan, the rest is just laughable tbh. McAlister and Davidson ffs.Stewart has been playing most games on the left side of midfield - class him as you like but that is been what he has been doing. The stats for when Thomson has played is the only laughable bit. Ok stats don't mean everything but I just think you have an extremely clouded judgement based on what he did in the past. Davo played 8 league games, won 5, drawn 2 and lost one - Thomson would love that kind of record with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rambling syd rumpo Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 This is an article from the Daily Record about Stewart from three years ago. He talks about how he was freed by Hearts as a kid just when he was hoping to go full time. They thought he had a lot of ability but was too small. He was so disillusioned he gave up football for a year. I wonder how many other kids with as much talent are lost forever from the game. It doesn't say much about our youth development. I wonder how Stewart would have fared if he'd been Dutch, German or Spanish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rambling syd rumpo Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Ali Crawford was released from hearts as a kid aswell Yet another black mark against the Romanov regime. When they were spending money hand over fist on foreign players they were punting talented young Scots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Can't believe someone is even contemplating whether or not Thomson is better than McAlister or Davo never mind actually typing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moo Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 It's fucking mental. Absolutely batshit mental. Some people prefer different types of players. I personally think Thomson is an excellent player. He keeps possession, plays the easy pass, can also play defence splitting passes. McBride is similar to Thomson but the latter is obviously a lot superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewing Taffies Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Thomson is a good player but has already missed half our games this season. If he was a prolific goal scorer, providing lots of assists or was a match winner every time he played then I would almost accept him playing 50% of our games. But he really doesn't offer anything near enough to warrant such a high wage with so little game time. We need to spend our resources on fit, young hungry players similar to those who are providing success for teams like the Dabs and Hamilton. We need to find more Greg Stewarts and stop wasting our money on Kevin Thomsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also say Davo is more effective player than he gets credit for. We've just too many MOT failures - it probably goes some way to explaining our inconsistency - too many enforced changes due to injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweeperDee Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 McGowan is one of the best midfielders we've had in a while; far better than Thomson in my opinion anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I think Ali Crawford was the best midfielder on the park yesterday with 22 a close second. I'd take them over Thomson, McGowan or McAllister any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Ali Crawford is fucking woeful. Andreu, you have a case.He's came on leaps and bounds this season and has popped up with some huge goals (2 vs Motherwell, 2 vs St Mirren and, of course, the winner at Parkhead). Always gives 100%, makes some great runs from midfield and his passing's great most is the time too. Dundee tend to try and overrun the midfield in the games against us and he usually gets fazed out but I thought he did well yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accie1 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 McGowan flattered to deceive when he was with us and always wanted to do everything himself, he seems to have matured and certainly looks a better player now.Would still prefer Andreu and Crawford although he is probably better than the others we have.

Someone needs to do something about McGowan's Wikipedia page. That photo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
