Mybitchunderprotest Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Greetings, you remember Vinnie Moore, former airdrie player at the end of the eighties, he was signed from Clydebank and then went to Stirling Albion, I think he was an offensive central midfielder, could it be?JmSG seems to do a lot of reminiscing of former diamonds.Never liked Vinnie Moore as a player or person.Most recently seen in the press as a millionaire alcoholic with drink driving and other convictions. A "businessman".https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/millionaire-tycoon-rescued-wife-after-16836053 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Ray Grant released by Clyde. Can't recall any of his performances against us but he's young, plays a position we need to fill and I've heard only good things about him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was definitely a competent player at league 1 level, from what I could tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen some suggestions of Queen's Park but I wouldn't be surprised if we've been in contact given that we really need to bring in a few midfielders and he falls into the age bracket of players we tend to sign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a 1-0 win against Dumbarton who, iirc, had a very young Owen Coyle playing for them in midfield. Moore was giving the Dumbarton full back hell but was being kicked out of the game until the ref booked his oppo. Moore was then free to run at him again and he set up the winning goal by skinning him and then delivering an absolute peach of a cross which was headed home.

I remember a missed penalty in a televised game against Clyde (i think) at Broomfield where he skied it over the bar. Not much else tbh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although as stated elsewhere he is going to queens, we are still in need of experienced midfield players that know this league, This is potentially a brave new dawn with the link up with HR and the McKays. .... A !it of hype and good feeling abound at the moment, my main concern is are we going to be getting 17 year old youth players from West Ham to fire us out this league or more experienced campaigners. The players signed so far are unproven and could all be potential stars although 2 appear to be back ups... Interesting times , looking forward to the huge developments at the club by a clearly in the know Gordon Parks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
