Tins Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 And Foster never set the SPL alight.Why do you think Rangers never made his move permo?Clarkson scored around 40 goals in his whole carer up here.And started plenty off games,his strike rate was average at best up here.The only person that thought he was any good was Craig Burley.Who capped him out off sympathy no doubt for what happened to his Uncle.He did score a nice goal against Czeck Rep though. But the point is, we haven't had much success with players from the SPL. Maybe it was due to bad signings however this is why we doubt players from the SPL. Is that not fair enough? We can only judge who we see week in week out, and for us they haven't been great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calculus Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Got it in one! Absolute no mark , very, very average career, obnoxious lout doesn't come close. This absolutely demonstrates the depth to which we've sunk. Lucky to stay up, a manager who far from set the world alight &, Steve L, little more than dereliction of leadership on your part. For those who've taken delight in rightfully winding up the scumbag King, what's your choice of tune now boys? I didn't renew my season tickets to be assaulted by this insult. Steve L , for those of us who find this signing morally reprehensible can we get our money back? If I want to watch Xenophobia, thuggery, racism & misogyny each Saturday I can do so at Belmarsh & save myself a 240 mile round trip to boot. Chances are Morris once turned out for them. The remnants of 'management' at Ashton Gate should hang their heads in shame. (sent from a pub in Glasgow where, if you've ever doubted that Scottish football is little more than a glorified pub league tonight's reports of the Rangers fiasco & the way in which the SFA will prostitute themselves to such an extent that dignity is as prevalent as the Dodo, you might allay your doubts.) An utter disgrace. As I understand it the sexual assault case case against Morris was dropped, whereas Marlon King was convicted and served a term in prison. Other than that he has various motoring offences to his name for which he should be suitably ashamed, but again nothing serious enough to merit custody. Maybe Jody Morris hasn't got an umblemished past but his last offence was 6/7 years ago and maybe he's grown up a bit and is now a decent guy. If MacInnes, who knows him well, seems to think rate and trust him then the least we could do is give the guy a go. Comparing him to Marlon King is a serious and unfair overreaction if you've taken trouble to read the records. Incidentally, we've had worse before - I'm sure we can all remember that proud day when three, yes three, of our players were actually jailed - so I'm not sure that we had the moral high ground even before today.

An utter disgrace. Other fans coming on to our boards seeing posts like this must make their day!! It's truly laughable, you'd think the world was about to end!! What's the problem with this? It's a one year deal and a FREE transfer, he knows Del very well and is highly thought of by Mcinnes. He sounds like a real leader on and off the pitch which is something that we have been lacking. Another thing which has been pointed out by most saints fans, is that he keeps the ball! Something that we have needed over the past few years. I personally think this is a good short term signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Horsman Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Just a hypothetical question fellow forumites: would those of you who are happy with signing a 33 yr old midfielder from a mid-table SPL side on a freebie have been quite so content had he been signed not by Del and Doc but by Keith Millen? A lot of this 'In Del we trust' talk is well and good, but I genuinely believe that if Milly had pulled thus one out of the bag a year ago, he would have faced universal condemnation.

Might be different. But he knows the bloke inside out.... unlike us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FACT. Pearson has been on and off here, mostly good. Many people have doubted him here. McManus was good in the little number of games. What people do doubt about Pearson and McManus is if they are so great, why were they released by both of their clubs. My point is, more players we have had from the SPL have been poor signers, that is why we doubt players from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTRFTG Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 As I understand it the sexual assault case case against Morris was dropped, whereas Marlon King was convicted and served a term in prison.

I worked for twenty odd years in the Fourth Estate & live in South London, so have a good understanding if what type of creature Morris is. Many of my mates are Wall fans who tell a good story. Of course it wasn't just the single sex charge & his defence, statements & justifications at the time clearly demonstrate his 'attitude' toward women, irrespective of whether or not convicted. Frankly, if you'd allow his presence near any of your female friends or relatives that says more about you than you might wish. He's also not welcome in the States, in case you'd forgotten. If we've had rogues in the past all the more reason to avoid scum of this sort. Ever considered the reason he may have been quiet over the past few years maybe something to do with the ethnic diversity in Perth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chappers Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 We'll see. Not sure on this one, only a year, might be OK, but looks a bit like a 'club in the bag' rather than a forward-looking signing. Come mid-September we should know if it's an inspired signing or not.

crusader Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I am still not happy with our Manager, he won't be here long. We need a manager with good contacts from the Premier League. A few experience players, some of our own academy players and maybe some youngsters like Millen was getting in, Rose and Faulkner. Millen was obviously building a relationship with Spurs, if he or another manager could have built a relationship with 3 or 4 Premier clubs this would have been ideal. McInnes, Johnson and others can / could only attract players from lower leagues / levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
