Agreed and I can't see anything underhand at all from Talbot as knowing them over the years their committee are as straight as they come and tucker appears to be the same . Just sounds like the player has thought of retiring and tucker has heard of it and talked him round to rejoining his old club.

Hertha/BJFC1938 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Troon are a cracking bunch behind the scenes too and kirkwood the manager seems like a really decent guy as well to deal with. This is probably just an unfortunate episode that's maybe went off the scale a bit, Troon will be a force next year for sure and seem to be shaping up really well .

TheScout Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Oooh what a stramash... The biggest cringe is Mr G coming on like a psycho soccer mom! Proper Beamer for David I'm sure... I'd say Troon were pretty entitled to be a bit miffed as it would look like they could've been mislead as to DG's intentions. However that's football, players move on and the world doesn't stop turning. It could turn out to be a good thing for Troon as they will have to play a different way and not rely on DG's goals, they have 3 good young forwards and Spence to build attacking partnerships with. There's definitely gonna be plenty football and goals in this new look Troon side. Really looking forward to the new season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
energyzone Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Can we prove he didn't tell any lies? I'd be pretty annoyed if I was from Troon FC going by what we've heard so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
energyzone Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Can we prove that you are not a walloper? Probably, but doubt you'd understand the explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmkeenan85 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 David Gillies character and integrity can never ever be questioned. Troon have every right to be annoyed at losing their Talisman for free to another Premier League side. Please now can we move on and talk about Troon 15/16 like the thread says?

Wile E Coyote Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 The whole thing is unfortunate but a storm in a teacup in my opinion. David Gillies honoured his contract with Troon and was free to do as he wanted whether that was retire or join another team. Troon knew he was leaving and had time to plan accordingly. He won't play every week at Talbot and maybe that was the attraction at this stage of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmkeenan85 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 FOR FREE!! How much did you pay for him? 2k according to the Ayrshire Post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScout Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Deano, as a player you can't try to silence fans who want to discuss issues be it Troon fans or fans of another club. Admirable as your intentions may be that's the difference between fans and a player. Whether DG acted in good faith or not, in the fans eyes it stinks (and the managers) and as fans have every right to discuss it on this open forum.

gavc29 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Davie intended to retire but obviously changed his mind. We were losing him either way but hopefully he doesn't come back to haunt us, being the prolific scorer that he is. Davie is a gentleman, a hard worker and a terrific player and I for one wish him all the best and look forward to coming up against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porky pie Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Let's hope he scores a hat trick against the simpleton Kirkwood. Let's hope that players signed by Troon are shown respect during their time playing and after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porky pie Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 If you've got nothing else but slag off troon then stay this thread every player is showing respect by troon but apparently you seem to know better so you care to justify your accusations by stating what players are being does respected by troon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what this is about but unless they decide to play centre half, don't think I'm competing directly with them. Never assured of a place though so will fight for it same as ever!

c.gull Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Probably pissed off because they were payin him far more than anyone knew I'm glad that you put a wee puzzled face at the end of that statement.

Jacktonite Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Just had a read at this thread and was interested to see the comments about Chappie. Having played with and against some of the best midfielders the West juniors have had to offer I have to say Chappie has all the qualities to be up there. If I was a premier manager he would be on my wish list no doubt. I'm not saying he's the finished article but I have seen him close hand get better and better the last few seasons and I think he has more to come. With regards Gillies at his age he probably was retiring thinking enough was enough until Talbot came calling and who would blame him. But I don't get all the fuss , he was out of contract, free to go elsewhere and could have just told Troon he wasn't signing again if he had known of their interest prior to his announcement. If he had a year to go and negotiated a "free" to sign with say a smaller team then fair enough but it wasn't. Blown all out of proportion IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
