I'm sure he's the guy who used to post on BAWA with nothing but relentless abuse to folk. Ice Tears or something his name was.

A guy who if he spoke to folk in real life the way he did online, would encounter many a sore face.

I reckon (if there are no more outgoings)

  • 2 Centre halves
  • Right wing back
  • Holding mid
  • Box-to-box or attacking mid.

At least - could maybe make a case for cover at left wing back and in wide forwards areas too.

Takes some doing to get that accolade but he manages it. The guy who used to claim his scarf was used for new signing photos every single time, as if there was a shortage of scarves, a close second. Especially now he has turned into a George Galloway shagging, nasty Russian mouthpiece.

The pirate guy is right up there too - weird apologist for sexual deviant behaviour.

That whole David Goodwillie episode he had on Twitter was absolutely horrendous

To be fair, the guy he sped past could have been slow as fuck.:rolleyes:

I like this type of signing.

 

Yeah, it'll take more than one clip of a guy scoring for the team Cole Kpeweka was playing for just a few years ago to get me too excited. Could be good, could be shit - who knows? Will be fun finding out.

A few years ago we were playing at Palmerston and I suggested folk should leave early for the game as the roadworks in Dumfries had been a nightmare all week (and still were for me getting to the game). That evening I got an aggressive message from Guy with all the numbers and letters in his name™ moaning that he'd had no problem with the roadworks.

Lovely to hear him getting called out on Misery Hunters a few weeks back.

Being linked in the papers with a defender, Ryan Strain.

Set to beat a number of English teams and at least 1 other team from here to his signature.

New Saint

EXCLUSIVE By Derek McGregor

St Mirren are poised to land Aussie wing-back Ryan Strain from Israeli champions Maccabi Haifa.

SunSport understands the highly active Saints are awaiting clearance confirmation for a potential free transfer switch for the Coventry-born ace who took Australian citizenship and previously starred for Adelaide United.

But they look set to beat off stiff competition from a number of English teams and at least one top flight club here.

Ex-Aston Villa youth Strain made 14 appearances for title-winners Maccabi Haifa last season.

Now, though, it’s believed he’s keen to hook up with Stephen Robinson’s Saints and become their SIXTH summer capture for the 2022-23 campaign.

And the Buddies are very hopeful of sealing a deal they would regard as a coup.

Strain was called up by Australia a year ago for World Cup qualifiers against China and Vietnam but didn’t feature after suffering a hamstring injury in training.

However, he believes moving to Scotland and a strong start in the Premiership can give him a late chance of yet making Graham Arnold’s squad for the finals in Qatar in November.

The 25-year-old joined Maccabi Haifa a year ago and featured for them in the top flight, domestic cup and Europa Conference League qualifiers.

The Israeli giants are due to face Olympiacos next month in the Champions League second round qualifiers.

Strain, though, is keen for a UK return and Robinson – working closely with new chief operating officer Keith Lasley and recruitment chief Martin Foyle for a dramatic squad revamp – would be thrilled to land him.

The ambitious Northern Irishman, determined to make the Paisley outfit strong top six contenders, should learn if the player’s coming within the next few days.

St Mirren have already signed attackers Toyosi Olusanya from Middlesbrough and Jonah Ayunga from Morecambe, midfielders Mark O’Hara and Keanu Baccus from Motherwell and Western Sydney Wanderers plus keeper Trevor Carson from Dundee United.

Robinson – who worked wonders in charge at Motherwell, including two cup finals and a place in Europe - replaced Aberdeen-bound Jim Goodwin in February but then saw the side suffer a downturn in form and drop into a fight for safety which they only secured late on.

However, he’s determined to make sure there’s no repeat in the new season and instead wants Saints pushing hard for higher places and decent cup runs.

Robinson – who will take his squad to Northern Ireland for pre-season training and friendlies - is also still working on other possible signings.
