Dave The Buddie Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Am so glad we got a left back and will reserve judgement until he has played half a dozen games but as always he will get me full backing every time he pull on a St Mirren shirt.I take it that will be the end of our business....

Mr Zo Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 This £8k from SMISA is going a long way. The recent signings will surely give everyone connected with the club a massive lift.I am really pleasantly surprised at the volume of player's coming in and changing the whole look of the squad. Things seem a bit brighter this week.Let's get as many fans as possible in for the Falkirk game, generate a positive atmosphere in the stadium and let's get ourselves out of this mess. What an end to the season we could be in for.#wearestayingup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mearns Saint Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 does he not seem to be playing on the right wing in a lot of these clips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the barrhead teacher Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Well seen nobody knows much about Demetriou given what's been written so far.

Callum Gilhooley Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 I really wish the lad all the best and hope he helps bring success to our club. As some have said previously , on the video he seems to spend as much time on the right as the left, also , he has a very unusual running style but seems very quick...... would have liked to have seen a bit more evidence of his defensive capabilities. That said , if he has been with us a week , hopefully the management team are convinced . COYS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One must however point out the inaccuracy in your statement regarding Mr Irvine. The signing of Stelios does NOT constitute a chance for Gary Irvine to play as our right back. The signing of Stelios (coupled with the departure of young Jason) leaves Gary Irvine as our OUTRIGHT right back. Gary Irvine is the first (and probably only) choice right back for our (thus far) failing first team. To re-iterate...Mr Gary Irvine is THE RIGHT BACK. He takes up that position not as a "chance" but as our first and only recognised choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 46 minutes ago, guinness said: Rather than slag Irvine can anyone tell us about this guy? Guilty. I hold my hand up to bringing Irvine into, and it probably wasn't appropriate, albeit this signing has a significant bearing on how Irvine is utilised. Not sure that I slagged him off as such. I don't rate him, but accept that this thread should really be about the new LB, so point taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fannybawz Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Do you think that if Andy Murray had attempted to play tennis with his left hand from outset that he would have made it as a professional, let alone become world number 1? Do you and Drew come from the same village? Rafa nadal is a natural right hander. His uncle taught him to play left handed as he thought it would give him an advantage. Turned out no bad for him and he was world number one for many weeks. [emoji3]Happy to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The support were certainly capped. Welcome to the club Stelios. Maybe we, as a support, will give you a chance to prove yourself. As for Irvine? I certainly think he'll fair better when he doesn't need to take that extra second to think about defending on the wrong side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotstounSaint Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 And you don't think that playing on the left may be the reason he is slow? No. I think he's slow because he's old and slow. I also think he's shite and falls down all the time because he's old and shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
