SirJohnLambie Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 So wanted him to be good, but just never happened. Another one who had the potential but never lived up to it Times Up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleGreySky Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 It's ok though, his leaving has freed up a wage to sign Maxwell, Donnelly or McNamara! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberteeb Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 I gave him longer than many around me but he was only good in very brief spells, no loss, hopefully this will allow us to sign someone from the juniors, maybe Boca Juniors.

crazy davie Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 I'm disappointed. I thought he was pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 He did have potential and looked sharp in the early part of the season. However his loss of focus/form probably meant a departure from Firhill was inevitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWM Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Really struggled in the second half of the season, but so did a lot of the squad. I'd have gotten rid of a few other guys before him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jags365 Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 He should been released then and there at the POTY dance for his frankly horrible 'fashion' style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 (edited) He did have potential and looked sharp in the early part of the season. However his loss of focus/form probably meant a departure from Firhill was inevitable. Round about mid autumn I'd have suggested he'd be a contender for PotY. His performances after that were by and large woeful. Btw, sandy, is loss of focus a euphemism for putting on weight and getting unfit?

Jaggyman Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 It's ok though, his leaving has freed up a wage to sign Maxwell, Donnelly or McNamara! Would much rather have Donnelly or McNamara any day of thre week ahead of Corcoran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buchanan 9 Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 A good player when fit but thought he was never really 'fit' he looked to be carrying a bit of weight at the start of the season against Berwick but never really lost it as he was still short of fitness right through the season IMO. But this leaves us very thin on options out wide with Cairney, a converted right mid who is more comfortable in the middle and Erskine our only out and out winger if you can call him that on the left. Wonder what tricks McCall has up his sleeve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kni Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 So another dud signing by McCall has cost the club thousands to pay off before the expiry of his contract! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pie Of The Month Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 He should been released then and there at the POTY dance for his frankly horrible 'fashion' style. If that's the real reason then Paton will be following him out the door shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKennan Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Another entry in Thistle's 'What Could Have Been' book and another entry in a few teams' 'We Told You As Much' book, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trotter Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 If he's been released because he didn't live up to potential, i.e. started well and faded away, this raises a lot of questions. Namely can McCall not motivate his players into giving him 'a shift'? & does this not sum up Simon Donnelly's Thistle career? Starts well and isn't seen again from the clocks going back until the clocks go forward!! As an aside, is noone else the least bit concerned that we could end up signing a player- namely MacNamara- who after a broken leg at 37 is unlikely to be the player he was just previous to the injury? I really don't get the thinking in it We are going backwards again. No forward thinking, at least as far as the first team is concerned.

GrantB Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 My question would be why did Corcoran become fatter almost by the week during his time here? I wonder if it was due to the injury he got while at Hamilton as he looked a player when he first arrived. He looked more and more like a pub player the more the season went on though.

Mad Mull Jag Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Its not down just the manager to motivate a player, the player has to want to do it himself. Corcoran to me showed no desire to improve/get fit/stay in the team and tbh im glad he is away, Erskien will get a run at the left mid/winger slot over a number of game which will either prove or disporve whether he has it. Another example of why in this economic climate we dont offer 2 years deals to players, watch this space from now on plaers will be offered 9 months contract july to april, saves on the wages!!

Agree lets not also forget erskine has done nothing of note so far either. Erskine is the type of player biased fans will defend to the hilt until he leaves and he suddenly becomes rubbish. We even had people defending Pat Boyle last season using the excuse he short of confidence, he was just shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Shot Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 I'm disappointed. I thought he was pretty good. I thought he was no bad,pretty good at times and brought something to the game, other times played fairly poorly and brought nothing to the game, can't say i'm disappointed,kinda neither up nor down about the news.

uberteeb Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Was he not meant to be a bit of a bad egg in the dressing room/training? I'm sure I heard that being muttered around Firhill as the season went on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 At the start of the season I thought he was going to be a great player for us. But he wisnae. Would have liked to see him succeed. But he didnae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifu03340 Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 I didnt even think he was that good at the start of the season, Glad to see him go...a few others to follow hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
