Apologies Jack, I don't normally indulge in strip talk but being 100 year anniversary of the Scottish cup win then I would say it's more important than normal and perhaps it could be a big seller. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*marko* Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 7 hours ago, Diamonds on the Windshield said: I thought Kurtis Roberts was the best player on the field last night . He won most of his 50/50's , was good playing forward, broke up our forward passing game and got in some decent tackles. He also looks very comfortable moving with the ball and was the reason Clyde looked better than the scoreline suggests. Maybe a good addition to the Diamonds when the crop of young midfielders go back to their parent clubs next season. He was impressive in the last game against us too. A good, tidy player with bags of energy. I was surprised we let him go to be honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A journeyman lower league player 1 goal in 24 games, we had him before and he never cut it, If the ambition of the club would be to re sign dross like that, we will be stuck in this league a lot longer..... He played well last night without really doing anything , he did get the better of 18 year old McMaster who hasn't even had 10 career starts... Can see McCabe slotting back into Midfield for the Allo a game with ATS back on defence, or that's what should happen... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To see people calling for us to sign a 28 year old who has spent his whole career in League 2 and mid-table League 1, who wasn't really good enough 3 years ago, is beyond strange to me. Roberts on Friday was what he always was - enthusiastic, energetic, but ultimately pretty ineffective. We seem to have fans who pine for former players who they believe 'weren't given a chance', yet almost without exception they leave us to similar or (usually) much worse teams and it just confirms we were right to release them - McIntosh, Cairns, O'Neill, Roberts, Kerr, Russell, Watt, Bain and many more. None of them were good enough (slightly harsh on Kerr maybe, but injury record meant he had to go) when we were a side more at risk of relegation than promotion so they certainly wouldn't be good enough now. Only Airdrie fans could watch us score 18 goals in 3 games and then say 'we could really do with Kurtis Roberts'. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, the days when developing our own academy players was our only hope, and the clamours to keep them on the books “because they ran about a lot”. Add this to recent revisionism about Craig Truesdale because he did well against Aberdeen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're using 20 year old patter which was barely funny at the time and feeling very pleased with yourself for it. I reckon judging the value of others contributions is something you shouldn't be attempting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
