Bigjeffery Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Why do people at larkhall always go on about the past? On how they are the oldest club and what they have done years and years ago what is in the past means nothing now! It’s the very people who keep going on about it that are pulling the club down time for the old thinking members at larkhall move on and get a new way of thinking at the club by the looks of it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larky9 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 larky9, to help Jags to be a bit more competitive you have been given the power to pick 4 Thistle players from the past, & any 4 players playing in today’s game. Talbot players are unavailable. What would your selections be ?Here we go The 4 thistle players would be Goalkeeper think his name is Chris Fahey played in goal when when we beat Beith 1-0 in the 5th round of the Scottish down there Left back would be Alan Sneddon,well I think he played left back Next would be Jim Dempsey playing just in front of the centre halves,to give them protection Then Alistair Duff up top who would give you 30/40 a season and Big Gracie playing alongside him As for the other 3 I don't watch other teams 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjeffery Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 What about Davie the goalie that played for larkhall with all the tattoos? As for the boy Gracie being picked he was worst than a man down at times when I watched larkhall 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larky55 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Big Mo would need to be the goalie. I’ll pick the team after The Jonnie Walker Show on Radio 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club needs volunteers on the committee to survive and no matter what their points of view are and whether anybody agrees with them, if it wasn't for the committee and their hard work there wouldn't be a club. The above applies to nearly all junior clubs by the way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Allan would be the best defender by a country mile. Alastair Duff as striker, but people seem to forget the stupid criticism he got, with Peter Boyle- an Australia International ( passed away down under 3 years ago ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larky55 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) You never know,I might even do better than Derek [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] ALEX MORRISON - Best goalie to have played for the club, so he said. Sir Alex took him to St Mirren. ALAN SNEDDON - Was MOM playing for Celtic against Real Madrid not long after he left Gaswork Park. KEVIN McDONALD - Beith. Great defender, good pace & positional sense. JOHN CHALMERS - Left Gaswork Park far too early, same type of player as Kevin, but capable of scoring goals. DANNY MACKENZIE - Pollok left back, really good defender who gets up the park & delivers good crosses. Midfield DARREN CHRISTIE - Beith extremely talented & hard working right midfielder who scores important goals. MARTIN MULHEARN - Magnificent footballer, capable of leading any Junior team who has ever played. DEL ESPLIN - Rutherglen Glencairn midfielder playes the game with his head up, classy player with a bit of steel about him. JOHN SANNIGHAN - Thistle midfielder,footballing God. Strikers IAN PURDIE - Thistle brought him over from Bonkle, think he only played a few games, but he was the most explosive striker ever. Moved on to Aberdeen. SCOTT ANSON - Pollok striker, top quality hit man, would score a barrow load in that team. Team would warm up to Scottish Dance music, with The Bluebell Polka, by Jimmy Shand introducing bot teams into the pitch.

Revered at Aberdeen I also remember Les Hutchinson as keeper playing a binder in a 1-0 Cup win at Cumnock- weve got there with better teams and lost. Quickest hat-trick------------ Peter Boyle, 7 mins against Cumnock also, 2-0 down with 10 mins to go in the Dryborough semi-final at Yoker, won 3-2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there are more prominent candidates for midfield 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
