BuddieinEK Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Alex Bone anyone ? Decent championship / div 1 player who scored plenty for every other team he was at. Saints support gave him too hard a time and he couldn't perform for trying too hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I haven't checked but wardlaws goal to game ratio is probably much better John Baird's goals to games ratio made him one of our most productive strikers ever, especially considering he was either substituted a lot, or came on as a sub. We can be dismissive of Baird, Wardlaw, Barron, Mehmet, Dargo or Goodwin all we like, but here's the news. We can't afford much better. We can't afford Kris Boyd FFS. We couldn't afford John Sutton when he left Hearts. We need to knit a team together from talented youngsters, older heads, triers, decent pros, and loanees... and hope they gel. They aren't at the moment that's for sure. Haven't gelled as a team since their synchronised pint swallowing exploits in the Bull Inn, March 18 - 25, 2013... A glorious week of team-work.

If you google headless chicken, the top five returns include Mr Bone. Saints support stopped him from performing ! I`ve heard it all now !

Callum Gilhooley Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 excellent... you may well learn after all then! So. What exactly do you mean by that ? He was a player who found his level . that level was at best a league below where saints were operating ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddieinEK Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 He was not among the top Saints players for sure... but you call him PISH... I think he was not great for us but had more potential than he was able to show for a number of reasons... including the pressure and abuse put on a young player by "supporters". Maybe his level was one below where he played with us.... a bit like John Baird... but that doesn't necessarily mean that he is PISH.

JM1 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 You've only been watching St Mirren for a few years if you think Dargo is the worst ever Saints striker. For example, Alex Bone, Dennis Wyness, Kevin Twaddle, Rory Loy, Lewis Guy, Scott McLean, Paul McQuade, Gerry Creaney, Robert Dunn, Eddie Annand, Christopher Wreh, Tom Brighton, Alex Burke, Jens Paeslack & Michael Renfurm were miles worse.

BaldyOzBud Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Dargo scored once or twice a season and played most games from the start when he wasn't injured. Pish What I remember most about Dargo was Gus having him as a lone man up front and high balls being pumped up in his general direction, with a big monster of a centre half marking him.

Magic Monkey Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 What I remember most about Dargo was him being injured all the f**king time. FTFY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linwood bud Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Dargo had a poor stint at saints of that there is no doubt, but this was due to a few things, his injury record was a nightmare, the fact that we were so bloody slow in building attacks, and the fact that he was played up front alone I recall the final game if the season up in Inverness where dargo made a darting run looking for the ball, four passes later it was played to him, by this point he was coming back from an offside position as the caley defence eventually saw him, most of dargo's goals came from link up with dorman and quick build up play, unfortunately that type of football under Gus was a rarity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton, Tottenham and Stoke are keeping track on St Mirren midfielder Kenny McLean, who is out of contract at the end of the season.

JJ McG Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Atleast we'll get decent compo if he goes down there, just a pity we aren't in the same position as Hamilton was with McCarthy and MacArthur so we could demand a decent fee.

irvine_buddie Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Don't know if he's good enough for the premier league but I didn't think McCarthy, Mcarthur, Charlie Adam, McGeady etc were either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
