Gibson was better though. If our phantom goal counted, he would've been solely responsible IMO. I don't think he had anything to do really. He did have an excellent command of his box tbf. Something we've not witnessed since Big Rab. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinventing himself as a right back and running everyday in lockdown to get fit was a masterstroke. He has been fantastic at right back. A lovely goal from him too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he take that video with a calculator? I must admit, I fair laughed when you signed Willie Gibson. 36 year old. Been on a downward trajectory career wise since he left you in 2013. Personally, didn't think he was the same player even back then that he was in 2009-11 with Dunfermline. Celtic Nation, Workington, Stranraer, Dumbarton, Peterhead and then finally, struggling to make an impact in a poor Stenhousemuir side. You re-sign him, play him out of position and he's suddenly your best player. Some renaissance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the thing though. McCrorie did last season too largely but otherwise not seen a QoS keeper look as commanding taking crosses in a long time. It inspires confidence in those around him. Apparently he's statistically the worst keeper in the division but he has done pretty well to be honest. I wouldnt blame him directly for many of the goals we've lost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked him back when he was at Airdrie and thought Motherwell made a smart decision in signing him. A bit of a weird comparison, but he reminded me slightly of Ludo Roy's style of goalkeeping today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great at taking crosses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd hardly think he'd come in to the Championship and be in a QoS side that is currently sitting in a promotion play-off place and be their best player is my point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were a very poor side at the time but he brought a degree of composure on the ball and quality passing sorely missing from our midfield. He was the best player on the park in our famous win over Waterford in the Challenge Cup. When Gibson left midway through the season, the reaction from the support was mostly indifferent, but he did the Warriors a good turn! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here you, it's been about 6 year since I asked you to get Jocky on Tell Him He's Pele podcast. Get to it. He was on that horrific Dean Wallace podcast so get tapping him up. The P&B community would ensure your comeback on that show would net record listeners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QOSQOS Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Regarding Gibson’s goal, he’d had a practice run 15 minutes before when it was just over the bar. I thought he should have passed that time, but he is now forgiven..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the position he's played for the majority of his career, but he played as a full-back at Clyde on a couple of occasions when at Peterhead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was at the turn of the year, but since then hes not been, going off numbers alone. Traditional metrics used have Parry and Hamilton behind him, excluding today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice obscure stat. It sounds ridiculous given how many games he played as a youngster in his first spell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. 71 league appearances in that spell, according to soccerbase. And it's not like he was ever scared to take a shot, either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
