jimmy boo Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Not sure about 3 at the back for the first competitive match, especially against a well drilled Killie.Must admit I'm gutted they got Steve Clarke ahead of us but the timings just didn't work out. The upside is he'll be offered another gig he can't turn down sooner rather than later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time an "old school" Saints hero came back, he lasted all of about 7 days! Edited July 12, 2018 by Buddist Monk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Clarke is a Killie fan. Signed new improved contract and is here to see out his contract. Also Killie will likely play 4-3-3 in attack so 352 May be a risk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just never broke in to the team and he may get game time but I just can't see him being anything other than a bit part player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He left St Mirren for Chelsea in 87 returned to watch St Mirren lift the Scottish cup with the fans. Stevie is loyal to who pays his wages like we all do. If bigger fish come along he will be off contract or no contract for teams like Kilmarnock and the St Mirren's that is the realty unfortunately. I was around when St Mirren broke the Scottish transfer market these days are long gone. Enjoy it while it lasts if Stevie icontinues his success you won't have him more than two seasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's definitely a Killie fan. There was a wee interview with him from Match or Shoot that someone posted on here when he was at Chelsea and he said in that, he's a Killie fan. Must have been about 1988 or so that the interview was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooh that's a bitter post. Clarke has stated recently he's a Killie fan. There was also a Player Profile interview from Match or Shoot from years ago posted on here recently where he says Kilmarnock were his boyhood team. Not every fan comes from the city/town of the team they support, assuming you're right and he isn't from Kilmarnock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more that he played 200 games for us, we were his first professional club, and that in his career he only played for two clubs; Chelsea and us. Now, I agree with you btw, not arguing the case. Just putting forward a reason why there may be a pecieved loyalty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Stevie Clarke was born in Saltcoats. We signed him from Beith juniors. As for supporting Kilmarnock................ they were his "wee" team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AW saint Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Another good bit of business from the club. I like how Stubbs is going about things so far. We need a team of players signed by Stubbs so they will buy into his way of playing and have no loyalties to Ross. Best way forward imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Easy to say this now that he's going but I don't think he's that big a loss. He was a bit of a meh signing for me. On his day he's a decent Championship player but I wasn't convinced he was good enough for the Premiership. His pace and strength would have been an asset, as would his long throw, but I'm not convinced he'd have been consistent enough, or Ross' theory that he was more a striker than a winger. I feel a bit sorry for him though as he never really got a chance under Ross due to the team performing well. Mullen came in when Reilly was injured/lost form and scored a few goals but Hippolyte would have been waiting for the likes of Morgan or Magennis to tail off, which didn't really happen. The one time Morgan was missing was against Dunfermline and Ross opted to change to two up and give Mullen a go rather than go with Hippolyte. Just hope there's a good few more still to come in before the Premiership season starts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Got to laugh everyone saying this one and that one are not good enough for top league but think players from the lower leagues in England are going to be. this could end up being the biggest disaster ever or a success I know which one I'm going for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
