SBS Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 I remember Gardner Speirs putting a penalty 'miles' wide of the post against Motherwell at the Love Street end in the 1980's. Something makes me think it might have been the game in which Aber got 3 red cards. Andy Ryan? No thanks. I'd much rather try to get someone like Jack Aitchison on loan from Septic. Yup it was that same game. Aber got sent off in the aftermath of the penalty being awarded after a set to with Stevie Kirk who was also sent off. Speirs had waited a long time to take the kick ........ And missed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Body language stinks, clearly not a team player. If he's on the money mentioned in this thread then there's something dodgy going on.

On yesterdays showing, he is a wee bit lazy and didn't impress me at all, we have enough players of his height as it is and they all worked much more than he did yesterday.

DLBud Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 On yesterdays showing, he is a wee bit lazy and didn't impress me at all, we have enough players of his height as it is and they all worked much more than he did yesterday. There's lazy and then there's some big time Charlie who thinks he's better than the level he's playing at and won't get his sleeves rolled up and fight for his teammates. He struck me as the latter yesterday with a complete lack of effort both on and off the ball. Who knows what goes on behind the scenes that may impact that but yesterday was an opportunity for him to showcase his talent against better opposition and he missed that as badly as his penalty.

class of 76-77 Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Apparently Ryan's agent already has one or two of his clients already at Livingston and that's his likely destination, according to Livingston fans. He didn't do himself any favours with his performance yesterday but it can be difficult to judge a player on the strength of one game.

Saint Garf Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Didn't make the game, but I'm finding this confusing. If you were a young player trying to win a move to a bigger club, surely you would do it by giving everything you've got and trying to impress, not taking the huff and half-arsing it. Doesn't sound like the kind of attitude we want at the club. I think Jack is very focused on the personalities in the squad, not sure Ryan would be a good fit given reports from yesterday.

Stevie88 Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 After the game yesterday I'm delighted we didn't take another gamble in signing Andy Ryan. Tbh, I think Ross Stewart showed more promise when he came on, well at least he showed a bit of desire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, if he was to sign and Sutton went, I'd still be hoping for another forward as we're currently requiring a forward with Sutton in the squad. Sutton being moved on means for my liking we need two. Especially if we're going on the basis that Reilly needs someone to work up top with.

Magic Monkey Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 I'm not saying I approve, but I wonder if he's huffing because they've slapped a slightly unrealistic price tag on his head and he wants out. Now, throwing your toys out isn't the answer, but it's a plausible explanation. Of course, playing badly against one of your rumoured suitors would surely help to drive your price down (but would also put that suitor off buying you.) Completely agree with all of the above, however: he should have played out of his skin and made us find a way to get that cheque written.

At the moment we have Sutton, Reilly, Hilson and Smith who are all strikers, although Smith is more of a second striker and Hilson looks more of a wide option. Depends on whether Jack is going with two up front or just the one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soctty Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Reilly will score goals, but as has been said many times, he isn't the type to thrive in a lone role. Needs someone beside him or at least in the same area, to give support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
