bridge of allan bairn Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Hippo is a fine physical specimen. You know you've got a dangerous player when opposing fans don't want to see him playing. He's the kind of player I like paying to watch. My only minor criticism is that he rarely just puts it past the man on the wing and runs. He's quick enough to get away with it. Always cuts in or sideways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrote to him as a youth and he wrote back to me (handwritten in those days) an eight page letter. Brilliant stuff too. It's in the loft somewhere with my programmes.

Reggie Perrin Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Agreed. Jees Alan Irvine. That takes me back. I wrote to him as a youth and he wrote back to me (handwritten in those days) an eight page letter. Brilliant stuff too. It's in the loft somewhere with my programmes. Just think what Alan Irvine would bring to our team now, power, pace, aggression and skill!The league would be ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 The old crunchie, Alan Irvine and Gerry McCoy forward line was top drawer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 It was absolutely golden. Gerry McCoy was my absolute hero for that one sensational season, 84/85. Then in the summer both he and Crunchie left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawford, since Docherty signed, has 4 goals in 61 games, Doc has 1 in 60 and the 2 play a similar role, with Crawford more of a driving force. I'm not a Crawford hater whatsoever but him and Docherty don't remotely play a similar role. Docherty also doesn't have an end product and he doesn't particularly need to but is still one of our best players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munro7 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Yeah, you've both kind of made my point for me, Crawford's game will take him into more advanced positions more often and so I'd like to see him getting a few more goals or even developing a better final ball to create chances for others.I'd have him in the team far more often than not though.

Senor Bairn Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Would it be too much to ask for to get McHugh and O'Hara up top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielB Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I'm not Crawford's biggest fan but in all fairness to him, I think he's been played out of position for the majority of McCall's tenure. I don't see him as an attacking midfielder/winger, he was far more effective playing central midfield under Roberts. If we had a couple of decent wide players, he'd be nowhere near the team.

Falkirkyabass Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 McCall needs to go with 352 We can be a bit shite sometimes but you'll no win 35-2, mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believe The Hype Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Did Henderson get injured last night or was he possibly took off to feature in the first team squad now that rankin is away as we know houstie loves a centre mid option ?

hope street Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Did Henderson get injured last night or was he possibly took off to feature in the first team squad now that rankin is away as we know houstie loves a centre mid option ?

Gaz FFC Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 For weeks after we were shite people were rightfully shouting at Houston to change it. He tinkered a few times v Dunfermline and Hibs and seems to have got it right v Raith. Now that we are winning, fans still want change. Fuxake. What happened to if it's not broke don't fix it?
