Zero To Less Than Zero. Crap Signings Who Turned Out Even Worse Than Expected

Wasn't a zero signing for me. After his performance against us in the Scottish Cup a season or two before, I was quite pleased with the signing. He was never a goalscorer, but he worked hard against Thistle that day and was the standout in the Stirling Albion team. Had high hopes for him.

 

Looks like he might well be in the 1st Division next season with Alloa.

Pretty sure Grehan was £10,000.

 

What a waste.

nah he was £25,000 I remember seeing it being announced on the website, I just thought no matter how hard he tried he was just absolute garbage, good luck to the big guy at Alloa though, I remember the majority of the shed and myself booing him at Hamilton last year and the next day he got let go, felt a bit crap about it to be honest, but he was pretty bad, no mistake.

"Striker Martin Grehan left the club on Friday to sign for Partick Thistle in a deal thought to be worth around £10,000."

"Grehan was all set to sign a pre-contract agreement with Partick and stay with Stirling until the summer before the cash-strapped second division outfit decided to accept a small fee to accelerate the transfer."

anyone remember a guy called alan carson? the only one I ever saw who was as bad as paxton

 

Yes !!!

 

We always refused to call him Carson (and referred to him as Carsman) until he demonstrated some ability- sadly he never did. I think we signed him from Cumbernauld (but do/did they even have a team)

 

He was a big blond haired dude- would have made a decent porn star.

scott mclean. fat lazy useless fud, who thinks coz he scored goals against diddy pub teams it made him good

Not only have you missed the point of this thread as most would have had high expectations of Scott McLean to suggest he was poor is at least disingenuous or at best a personnel dislike blind to any logic. He didn't start his Thistle career quickly but his record overall compares more favourably than most in his position. Edited by Metz

Scored once in a 4-0 win against Dunfermiline in SPL 2002-2003

11 goals in the 1st + 2 in the cup 2001-2002

17 in the Second 2000-2001

 

Ta, Norge.

 

Always be grateful to Trigger as he played a big part in two promotions but I'd like to think Baird will at least surpass McLean's goal tally in the top division. :)

One of the best "recent" songs in the R&Y army's repertoire, and accurate.
