ecto Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Can Hardly remember sanny being "unstable" at Montrose when he was their far from it to be fair.Templeman will go down as a lower league legend and a Montrose one!Albeit a wee bit slower than previous club's he had been at but sp knew how to play the big guy.What I'll remember from big Temps stint at Montrose is his jinky feet and hold up play, yet to see someone better who can control the ball like he did ,feet ,head,chest,arse it stuck to him like glue. All round top guy also...All hail Sir Christopher Templeman!You view will be tainted by the fact he played for you, he never played for us only against, also never ever said he wasn't a decent player or did I say he was not a good guy, only an observation he spent quite a bit of time on his arse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It drove me absolutely crazy. That was in his Forfar days though, so I don't know if things changed when he moved to Montrose. Can't believe we've got this far into the thread without someone mentioning Josh Falkingham. A tremendous player, and a guy I always hoped I'd see in a Sons shirt, but my God was he good at riling people. Sly challenges, diving, wee kicks off the ball, always on at the ref. He had it all. Unlike Templeman (and a few others on this thread) he looked to get opposition players seething every week too. I wish he'd played for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Falkingham basically hanging onto Nicoll as he charged about midfield looking for folk to smash during the playoff semi-final. I thought he was going to do him some serious damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loonytoons Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Dods was another who could rile up players. McAllister seeing red against Forfar whilst being completely duped into lashing out is one I recall clearly.Dods had a massive grin on his face as McAllister went into a childlike meltdown.

Michael W Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Josh Falkingham is a wee dick, absolutely despised him. Totally worth the red card. In the aftermath, more than a few people on here claimed that the Police told the referee to send Hill off or they'd arrest him. Alas, Dougie's arrest would arrive later and in less salubrious circumstances. Note also "Scotland's number one Sunday paper" making a fundamental error above. There's also an excellent gif of Falkingham being floored by Jamie Adams, and also the Dunfermline highlights from a game against Stranraer (I think), where Stranraer get three players sent off for kicking the shit out of him. Great viewing. I think the wee p***k certainly encapsulates the spirit of this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maz1974 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Bobby Linn and John Baird, cocky little c****s Would take either in our squad in a heartbeat mind you!(See also Rory macallister)Had forgotten what a twat Gemmel was til this thread.

loon00 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Have to agree with Falkingham. Will always remember that moment that Foxy absolutely binned him at EEP a few years back and escaped with only a yellow, what a sight[emoji16] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Seeing a Stranraer fan post reminded me of the existence of Jamie Hamill who has been involved in more than a few incidents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie78 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Jamie Hamill is a rodent. Every time we play them Bobby Linn makes an absolute c**t of him and he usually responds with knee high challenges and acting like a hard man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimistic Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Diving b*****d David graham (twice in one season), or Mark mckenzie, I’m sure he loved playing against Dumbarton, certainly got pelters from a majority of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
