Basel Buddie Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 I thought Osbourne could of been a decent player when fit, Ball was an absolute waste of a wage............Thanks for the Partick goals otherwise see you never. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Cheesy, Ball & Osbourne. Sounds like a dodgy law firm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Neither were likely to feature in the post-split games so we've come to some sort of agreement - hopefully saved a few pennies to go towards next season's player budget. Ball - possibly a player in there if he was willing to shed a few pounds. Osbourne - panic buy when TC realized he had nobody to play at defensive midfield once JG was suspended - only available due to being injury prone. No fault of the player's but it was all too inevitable. Would be surprised if either player finds another full time gig but good luck to them.................

santaponsasaint Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 I liked Ozzy but got ankles of glass, Ball was never fit enough to play top pro football at any level, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leolovesstmfc Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Did not mind Ozzy but Calum Ball was total wage theif! He was with us a year and still wasn't fit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soctty Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Osbourne was a good wee player, just never fit. Ball was a waste of (a lot of) space. Seemed to make no effort to lose weight or get particularly fit. Wonder when we'll get rid of Gow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted April 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Need the Manager removed immediately. Only to give the new one time to assess what's left of the shit Squad. Some may be saveable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid Calder Saint Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 New Manager has to be appointed quickly to get some basis of a squad for next season.Do not forget Teale was instrumental in Ball signing for us.The whole thing is a complete shambles.Heard our Physio is leaving.Who is making the decisions?

Sonny Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Osborne was a decent player when fit but with his injury problems he had to go. Ball just had to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidg Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) What? This makes no sense? There must be some sort of story to it.... Edited April 21, 2015 by davidg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Osbourne was indeed a decent player when fit, but we knew he was an injury prone player before signing him. Wylde was known to be a lazy cnut who couldn't deliver a final ball, but we signed him. Gow was known to be a sand-dancing billy big baws who hasn't kicked a ball after signing for the Rangers, but we signed him too. Ross County fans openly posted that Arquin was a huffy non-trying waste of space after an initial impressive spell, so we signed him as well. Who the fcuk makes the decisions at St Mirren Park? Stevie fcuking Wonder? Rant over. Until the next post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Osbourne was good when he was fit, as he has been throughout his career. He's never fit for long though. Ball certainly never worked out, but for a bit of context he scored more goals than Bahoken, Magennis and Arquin combined. And I bet he cost the club less than each of the 3 of them. Am i right in saying his last appearance was away at Dundee? He came on and did well in that game, set up the third goal. Then got mumps and was never seen of again...

div Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 I reckon there must be a financial incentive to the club to mutually cancel these contracts early. McAusland and Osbourne wouldn't have played again this season anyway due to injury, whilst Ball couldn't even get on as a sub under Gary Teale so I doubt he would have featured either. Must be a reason why they are going early. Can't imagine they would be walking away without having the rest of their contract paid up, so it's maybe some sort of PAYE benefit to the club. I'm not entirely sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibbles old paperboy Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Kello next? Not been a sub for a while either. We've just released our joint top goal scorer and only striker we signed this year to have scored in the league! Marwood 0 goals, Caldwell 0 league goals, Arquin 0 goals, Gow 0 goals. What a season!

Mr Optimistic Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Osbourne wasn't a decent player, he did everything sideways and backwards. Hardly ever played a forward pass. He was as bad as the dozens and dozens of duds we have signed under Danny, Tommy and Gary. Not a single player in the squad I would be upset to see go and certainly not three or four we can build a team round. That makes the appointment of manager all the more important as the last three's record of signings is a huge factor in why we are in this mess.
