placidcasual Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 That's who in thinking of. He scored another worldy in the cup of I remember correctly (which, based on past experience, is unlikely). He did, against some non league jobbers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the most underwhelming rather than roastery was Stephen Reynolds to the point I believe he quit football to sell ice cream instead. Danny McKay in his second spell with us just clearly couldn't be bothered, head wasn't in it which is a shame as he looked like he had potential in the first spell. Also a little surprised at the lack of Tiffoney. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You maybe thinking of Andy Rodgers against Sunnybank? Or was this against Lochee as I missed that one? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had we being doing the Scumbag 11 then he’s be captain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess there would be some crossover! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 This has reminded me of Roberts playing played Austin McCann, Marc Twaddle and an out-of-position John Robertson before considering playing Jackson Longridge. Fun times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUcal Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 My 11 of the decade would be made almost entirely of players that have played in the past few years with a couple of extras. Following on from shite players talk.Did we not play Craig Beattie at centre half in one game? Or am I remembering that incorrectly. We have had some amount of absolute jobbers. Possibly the lowest I've felt was one game away to Airdrie near the end of the Roberts era when we lost 3-0. One of the worst performances I have ever seen from anyone. Horrendous players doing horrendous things. Kevin fucking McKinley 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, i was clutching at straws on who to put as a Left Midfielder, Michael Donald was here for too long though and although had some good moments, it was few and far between. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos to Crawford and Moffat for sticking around. ~ Beattie to be fair has played his entire Edinburgh City career at centre half, so wouldn't be surprised if we tried him there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Andy Millen playing Beattie at centre half when he took over as manager in a game at Somerset, he went off injured after about twenty odd minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 I remember Andy Millen playing Beattie at centre half when he took over as manager in a game at Somerset, he went off injured after about twenty odd minutes.Beattie claimed on one of Simon Ferry’s podcasts that Millen pulled him aside and told him none of the players in the team had the ability to find his runs. And I for the life of me can’t remember a time when Beattie actually made runs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I for the life of me can’t remember a time when Beattie actually made runs. I listened to that podcast, Beattie’s ego is huge - he seemed to think he was miles in front of the rest of the team, when in reality he was utterly rotten. Technically one of the poorest players I’ve seen play for us, and that’s saying something given the level be played at and some of the utter shite that has played for us. That team, as shite as it was, had far better footballers than Beattie. McGovern, Murphy etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was arguably the worst dressing room we had for guys thinking they were better than they were. Fucking annoys me when you get guys like Scott McLaughlin saying what a mental dressing room it was and how it was a great laugh despite the fact we were shite and heading for League 2. McCall himself said it was the most toxic dressing room he’s ever walked into. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he not go through a spell of insisting he took all the set pieces? I don't remember him even testing the opposition goalie it was always row z. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 This team of the last decade, is actually quite tricky. I would imagine 8/9 from the last three seasons and some honourable mentions from the past. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
