pod Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 So no one can explain the justification in signing Gow. Not even the usual trolls! Why can't you at least give it until Xmas to see if the justification is justified. Like most supporters have. FFS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFS Already seen what he can do, which doesn't include scoring goals. Still no one can leap to his defence to justify his signing..... Aye mibbaes he will find his level at Alloa and Greenock... Shame we have Hibs & Sevco at least eight times because that ain't his level as he has proved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Pityme Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 That level being. Teams capable of competing in the premiership, and likely to contest promotion/play off spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBoy Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Like many, I wait to be impressed and hope it works. My first reaction was also a big "Meh"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxbar_bud Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Same as above, bit of an underwhelming signing to say the least. Only thing I would say, there have been plenty of players over the years that have done well in the 1st division (championship) but just can't replicate that in the spl. Maybe Gow will do ok at this level. (I realise this is a bit of a stretch!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cambiebud Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 The classic underestimation of the quality beneath the SPL . St Mirren managers , players and fans have been guilty of it for the last 45 years ! On what do you base that? I don't remember ever underestimating the opposition when we have been in the lower league. I suspect that being one of top 3 wage bills next season, will comfortably get us into the play offs. Gow is exactly the kind of signing we need at this level. He has pace and ability. More like him please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr rotund Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 There appears to be many people with crystal balls on this forum that can predict the future! Give the guy a chance to prove his worth before slating him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insaintee Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Just watched this on Youtube Woah what a player. Leaving sarcasm aside, he's with us for better or worse. Hope he does well.

Lord Pityme Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Look at who Dumbarton have signed... Look at who Queen of the South have signed..... Then look at our sorry arsed attempt... Are we the new Sevco..? Only signing over the hill fuds that no one else will pay their wage demands? Wake up people and smell the awfy.....

So, please enlighten me about the quality that Dumbarton and QOS have brought in. Sorry but if they are so good would they be going to those clubs? Don't confuse bringing in ex amount of players meaning quality. None signed by those clubs concern me. I would still rather our manager took a bit more time to bring in quality rather than rushing to simply get numbers in. When we worry about Dumbarton and QOS then we are truly fecked.

paisleysaint1973 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 We are a championship team and as such we were not capable of a premiership challenge as you call it. So we are below that level you mention based on last season quite someway below it for now. Gow may or may not havecyou decent season but I highly doubt he got a years contract based on allegedly being a mate of Murray. Whether you or I or anyone agrees or bot with the signing is irrelevant. Gow needs to impress no-one outside the club to be honest only the management team. Murray stated he wants 8 signings. Gow is ONE of them personally what ever he has done of not done previously carries no credence with me it's what now happens come season kick off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlucifer Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Teams capable of competing in the premiership, and likely to contest promotion/play off spots. Both of whom ended in double figures behind the eventual winners of the Championship. One bottled it against a Zombie mob who had struggled overcome their previous Championship opponents. The Zombies were then quite literarily hammered by a Premier League team who themselves were well below the average of that league. Yep. Capable.... capable indeed!

kevo_smfc Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 I think he is an okay squad player for next season, though why was he offered a 1 year contract based upon last season, considering he has a history of injuries, though Sadlier has to do a pre season to prove himself?

We have re-signed a striker who has not scored a single goal for us... And averages 3.875 over the last eight years. Is this the quality you speak of?

Aye bizarre is it no? Sadlier can make things happen, Gow kills the move stone dead! Of course Sadlier isn't Murray's ex-Sevco mate.

Gow is ONE of them personally what ever he has done of not done previously carries no credence with me it's what now happens come season kick off So the fact he was gash last season, didn't try in most games, and scored nothing is irrelevant when deciding to offer him a new deal? I guess if you are recruiting someone for a job as Fireman, but find out he cant put out fires you would sign him up anyway? Aye maybe he'll be ok putting out fires somewhere else?

zurich_allan Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 I'm in two minds over this one. On one hand, Gow has often flattered to deceive wherever he's been. On the other hand, I do think there is a decent footballer in there, it's just a question of if he can show it for us, and show it often enough to have an impact. On the age front, he's non spring chicken, but at the same time I think we need some experience, so his presence isn't a bad thing. On the fence.

Of course Sadlier isn't Murray's ex-Sevco mate. You are seriously on the wind up here. Time you put this Murray's mate crap to bed. Judge Murray on his squad and performance of the team when a ball is kicked. You have a dislike of our new manager simply because he was not your choice. He has resigned an experienced player on his judgement. Only time will tell whether Gow can do a job in a lower league. To accuse his signing as an old pals act is daft and disrespectful to our new manager. Edited June 18, 2015 by nedflanders123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
