The Kenneth that played next to Wilkie/Dods/Webster etc was brilliant. Thats the version I choose to remember. I also think people forget how good he was, and towards the end he lost it a bit ill grant you but that statement is still a bit mental when you look back and see names like Chiarini, Lauchlan, McCracken and Chris Innes. Its a fucking miracle we werent relegated more between the late 90s and 2006. Those boys make dumplings like Morris and Durnan look like Nesta and Cannavarro. Fojut was good. Probably one of our better ones too. Kenneth had a good season in 09/10. But, as is the en vogue thing to say, this was purely down to Andy Webster. he played at Hampden for his boyhood club & lifted the Big Cup, something we’d all kill for. No one can take that from him. he was approaching average at best, and got away with murder because he was ‘one of us’ (much like our Dee friends who idolise that cart horse Kerr) big GK won the cup at 22, and ran a bus to our next final at 26.

As I said before, the Kenneth that played along side the three seasoned pros was great. It won him 2 Scotland caps and a Scottish cup medal. That alone puts him in a higher category than the sweeping majority of centre halfs we've had for a long long time. Again, he wasn't great before he left, was a bit of a baw bag then had a poor spell down south with a bad injury record down there too but to say he was approaching average is silly. Remember, Wilkie retired, Webster left and Dods had been lowered into the vat of molten metal by then. He had Scott Severin and Gaving Gunning to play next to... Think of all the shite like Lauchlan, Donaldson and Marc Cocozza. Even guys like Tony Smith and Andy Todd are what we're talking about here. Fucking Scott Patterson and the likes. Kenneth was head and shoulders above that lot. And most of them were in the same decade! He wasnt the best defender we've ever had but when he was on form he was comfortably one of the (definitely not the) best weve had since the millennium id say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, while never technically the best, he played pretty much whenever he was fit for us and tended to deserve to. ps - I don't think anyone has mentioned Archibald Edited October 1, 2020 by ArabFC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. That was the Martin O'Neil final too I think so they probably had a 3-0 aggregate score line anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And most of them were in the same decade! Tony Smith wasn't a central defender, but I'll agree he struggled at Tannadice. He was about 5'7" and played left midfield. Not very often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have to have a look back at those teams and jog my memories as a form of self punishment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumigoo Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 This really isn't good enough tbh.It is worse than that.Truly horrific performance last night. Our reserve goalkeeper was our best player. I like some of the players in this squad, and it’s maybe just because they were the ones who finally got us out of the championship. The reality though? Our regular first eleven contains about 6 players who are not good enough to be Premiership starters. I also like Mellon, and I feel for him that he has inherited a squad like this, however his tactics and changes over the last fortnight really need to be questioned. An interesting weekend ahead with regards to the transfer window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
