Drew Posted January 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Does anyone know why Dundee have let Irvine go? It seems he was a bit of a favourite with the Dundee fans (though perhaps that is a nostalgia thing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
class of 76-77 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Add Goodwin and Naismith to the mix and I can see probably.... The strongest defence and holding midfield in the league. With Rae organising things I can see us picking up points. How long till Goodwin is back? Anyone know? Don't be surprised if Goody makes the bench tomorrow.

Rabinho Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Don't be surprised if Goody makes the bench tomorrow.Alex Rae on St Mirren radio last night said he's a bit to go yet, only had one training session and doesn't want to risk further injury.

Lizard King Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Well done Rae - liking the look of these signings, especially Irvine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Mc Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 This might be about the gist of it from AR. Irvine keen to keep longer and reason for option in deal Cooper desperately need a wide player and is a roll of the dice. Possible insurance if can't get Smith and then offload McMullen Quinn aim to keep if proves fitness Clarkson would like to keep but Motherwell not willing to pay off his contract and may want to retain him/make him an offer if they are relegated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrappy coco Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 I think it's only right that G Irvine should be applauded for his recent performances, he's took some amount of stick on here while being played out of position but since being switched back to his more natural RB slot he's put in some top class performances and it also gives the back 4 a far better ballance....Well done Gary..

Herbie Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Couldn't agree more. I thought he was outstanding against Dundee Utd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soctty Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Irvine has played the vast majority of his football in the past 2 and a half years at left back, for both ourselves and Dundee. While right back is his preferred position, this is incidental to his recent improvement in performance in my opinion. Playing in a better team, leading to a boost in confidence, is probably more of a factor. Better defenders beside him, better midfield in front of him. A break from the team probably also helped the player, being taken out of the firing line for a spell.Well done Gary - keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Posted March 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 I hold my hand up to doubting the wisdom of even swapping him over to right back. Clearly, my judgement was unreasonable, premature, and has since been proven to be utter pish. I'm happy to acknowledge this, and concede that it is a lesson learned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hambud Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 I felt he was our best player against Dunfermline last week. I have been very critical od him in the past but his turnaround in form has been brilliant and I'm happy that he is playing well. I'd even go as far as saying I was unfair with my criticism in that he wasn't playing in his favoured position. Well done Gary Irvine.
